App Store doesn't recognize that I'm signed in to my account
I have apps on my MacBook Pro that were purchased under 2 different AppleID's. I updated apps for the 1st AppleID and then signed into the 2nd account to update the other app. However, the App Store gives me an error message and repeatedly tells me to sign into my (2nd) account in order to update. How do I get the App Store to recognize that I have signed into the other account?
I exited the App Store and restarted, but that didn't work.
Thanks in advance,
Julie

I lost all my data when upgrading my iPad to iOs5. App Store doesn't recognize that I already purchased pages. What can I do other than repurchasing?
It shows "You do not have any purchased apps available to download" Can I show apple the credit card receipts for apps purchased from them? How would I find any previous account login info?

Mac App Store Doesn't Recognize Apps
I have a Macbook Pro which is almost three years old. Applications like iLife and iWorks were installed on the computer long before there was the Mac Ap Store. These apps, and others on my computer, do not show up as Instaled in the App Store so I can't update them unless I use the old Software Update or the vendor's site. I don't want to purchase the apps again but is there any way to "register" these apps so the app store knows they are on my computer?
Thanks,
DavidI have iLife 11 that I purchased on disk that is installed, but the App store doesn't recognize any of the iLife apps as being installed.
Everytime I run GarageBand it states there is a new version, but then Software Update says everything is up to date once it is run.
I have GarageBand 6.0 (427.17) at the moment, and the newest right now is 6.0.5
I haven't been able to update it.
Any thoughts on this issue? -
what can i do if i accidentally deleted my iPhoto from my macbook air and the App Store couldn't recognize that i have bought it before and required me to buy it again ... should i buy it again or what ? i can't manage my photos now ...
Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

Why App store doesn't recognize my Aperture 3 installed from the disk version?
I have installed Aperture 3 from the DVD some months ago (bought 129 EUR). And the App Store does not recognize it (no popup "installed" but "Buy" for 62,99 EUR).
Could you tell me why?
J'ai installé Aperture 3 depuis le DVD il y a quelques mois acheté 129 EUR). App Store ne reconnait cette version (il n'indique pas "installé", mais "acheter" (pour 62,99 EUR).
Pouvez-vous me dire pourquoi ?Maybe it's simply because you have the disc version so it doesn't recognize it. I have heard that there are some differences between the app store version and the disc (I believe due to licensing, but i'm just going on what I remember)

App store doesn't recognize installed software
Ok. I've upgraded to Lion. The app store STILL doesn't recognize software that's on the Mac, and this INCLUDES Apple apps. The only software that shows up as installed is Lion.
no it gets this error when I try to update:
why?? it has no sense at all! I'm an apple user for 10 years now; I loved apple for not doing this kind of windowsish errors! -
App store doesn't recognize already purchased apps
I had to rebuild my computer. After going to the App store, and after logging in it doesn't recognize I've already purchased a number of apps (including Mountain Lion, Pages, Keynote, etc.).
In the past, after logging in it would say "Install" on the price button. Now it says the price (eg. $19.99) and then says, "Buy App" if I click it.
I need to know how to download these various apps without having to repay.I had to rebuild my computer.
Try using Mountain Lion Recovery to reinstall OS X.
That will also reinstall the App Store for you.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that before downloading apps from the App Store.
And try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. -
App Store doesn't recognise that I have apps installed already
At first App Store managed to recognise a bunch of apps which I already have installed and registered on my iMac. But sometimes I come across apps it hasn't recognised, and then after I open the apps and update them (outside AppStore) AppStore then manages to recognise that I have these apps installed (However, I usually have to relaunch AppStore for this to happen).
But now I have come across some apps which I own and have registered, but AppStore doesn't recognise them, and when I inspect them, I do have the latest version or I do update to the latest version, but AppStore still doesn't recognise them!
Examples are Bento, ScreenFlow, and others. I want to be able to update using AppStore, but I can't, and yet these apps are in the store and are the same versions I have.The Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo does not "have fixes that were not included in the original v10.6.7" update Delta. The Delta and the Combo were released together. Software Update has the ability to provide the Delta or the Combo based on the detected installed version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6. The Update Combo has the ability to bring any installed version of Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.6.7, whereas the Update Delta is limited to bringing an installation of 10.6.6 to 10.6.7. As such the Update Combos are a general troubleshooting step that have been known to possibly "fill in the gaps" of someone's current installation.
Señor Kappy, that Mac Update link does not have the MAS as a stand alone download. If you click Download it takes you to this Apple website; http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/ On this site Apple explains that to get the MAS you need Mac OS X Snow Leopard and encourages someone to buy and update their OS. Or instructs them to run Software Update to update their current installed version of Snow Leopard to 10.6.7 when the MAS will be installed as part of the update.

App Store doesn't recognize my purchased Final Cut Pro app
In February, my logic board was replaced, and the App Store sees my laptop as a new computer, so it's no longer recognizing some (but not all) of my purchased apps. I purchased Final Cut Pro via the App Store in December. The installed version runs fine, but the App Store won't update it to the latest version (10.2). The "Buy" button in the App Store says "Install," but when I get an error message that reads "Final Cut is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates." But there isn't a Software Update command in the Apple Menu anymore -- just a link back to the App Store, which won't help me! How do I get the App Store to let me install the new version?
Should I delete any/all copies of the app and then download a fresh copy from the App Store?

how can i change the email from previous owner of the computer to mine?
The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1a. If you don't own another Mac
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
1b. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
2. Partition and install OS X
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. -
The Apple app store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me. I bought this computer (early 2011 macbook pro 17 in) new in oct 2011 it came with Lion installed has anyone else noticed this?
Barney,I did as you suggested and emailed app store support qutioning why the app store didn't recognize my OS LION software as purchased even though all of the iLife apps that came bundled with it are recognized as PURCHASED and here was the email response from robert@ the app store....< I understand that you are trying to re-install the OS X Lion as you had a Hard Drive crash but it is not showing as purchased from your Mac App Store purchase pane.
As the Mac OS X Lion was pre-installed to your computer , it will not be recognized as purchased in the Mac App Store, and because of that it is not available fro re-download for free. Also, computers that come preinstalled with Lion do not ship with the disk.
Dana, not worry as OS X Lion has a self recovery feature.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
ThanksDid you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

any app I download from the app store doesn't open. after I finished downloading the app I tap it to open but it crashes as soon as i finish downloading it. yes, the downloading process works but any app I download won't launch. pls help
Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?
Hi Chris.
It's asking you for my apple id password. not going to give that out, sorry.
However I did try this projector on my mother in laws iphone 4 and on my old iphone 3. ipico software isn't needed. plug and play any video through standard movie player or camera saved video.
I tried on my girls iphone 5 with the adapter. The ipico software and projector doesn't work on this phone.
Hope this helped you. Better to buy a used iphone 3 or 4 and use it for video storage.
I also found that the battery on these projectors are a joke (30-60mins max). I rigged a longer lasting battery on the outside and keep it plugged in while using. This doesn't charge the phone though so I replaced the battery in the old iphone 3 and now get at least a full length movie from it. Great in bed projected onto the ceiling.
