App Store Mavericks issue - App Store Button Toggles between "Install App" button and "Free Update"

When I go to the app store and click on the "Free Upgrade" Button it switches immediately to the green "Install App" button. Nothing is downloading in the background. When "Install App" is clicked on it immediately goes back to "Free Download".
Currently running 10.7.5, 2009 Macbook Air, app store account is Canadian. Currently located in Grenada. Friends with other accounts (USA, Canada) have been able to upgrade without issue.

This has been happening for a few weeks now with no solution in sight. It seems to be an issue with the App Store, not the phone. You'll just have to deal with it for now. Use the search function on the right or just look through recent thread titles to see several other discussion on this issue.

I want to create an app. Can you tell me the difference between iOS developer program and the mac developer program?

Is the difference the device you're creating your app on, or for?

iOS Developer Program is only for those who wish to develop iDevice apps. Mac program is for those only developing Mac applications. If you wish to do both, then you need to enroll in both programs.

Cannot open App Store, I have deleted it but want to install it again and I can´t

I was unhappy with apple store and I deleted it from my imac. But now I want to install Masc os Lion and I need it. I cannot install it again, and it does not appear in my dock. How can I get it again?

Thank you! Now I have App Store. But after installing the Combo, I could not open SAFARI again, it was broken. So, I downloaded Opera (through App Sotre) and then I browse in internet and downloaded SAFARI again from apple.com and now it works

My new Ipad is trying to download an already downloaded App from the store, it shows it as Installing... but has been showing this for a number o days. The originla App is working fine, ?? Cant stop the installing App in any which way?

My Ipad 4 has downloaded several children's game Apps, no problems, however following this the device is again trying to download the same App being a repeat of the already downloaded App. The original is working fine but for several days the Ipad is displaying the repeated App as "Installing". How do I stop this as there is no ability to remove the 2nd App?

thanks I found the answer on another forum, turning it off to show the Apple Icon did the job, thanks all

Mavericks issues. Will doing a clean install from Snow Leopard back to Mavericks get rid of the bugs?

I'm using a Mac pro 2008, 10GB RAM (6 after Mavs upgrade), Nvidia 8800 GT.
After Mavs upgrade Chrome crashes when I go to youtube. Tried reinstalling Chrome and
it kept crashing. It even crashes when I open up the preferences. Final Cut X's share menu
doesn't appear. At this point I'll reinstall everything just get my machine running smoothly again.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for your input,
Update:
I did what benwiggy said to do and created a new user. Chrome worked and FCP's share menu was present.
After Effects won't open ( something about a missing font).
When I go to the original user Chrome and FCP problems persist, and After Effects works fine after a safe boot. Another issue is that of the memory. Before Mavs upgrade it was at 10 GB.

I have a keynote app presentation on iPad. Now try to open on MacBook Air and get update app message. When I try to update the app I get a message that Air software must be updated but Air says software up to date.

I have a presentation in my Keynote app on my iPad when I try to open it on my MacBook Air I get a message I must update Keynote. When I try to update Keynote app I am told MacBook software must be updated but MacBook software updater says it's up to date.

Yes your MBA is up to date as far as Lion is concerned... But Keynote requires you Upgrade to Mavericks
Keynote for Mac = Compatibility: OS X 10.9 or later

Question: How much RAM is in your MBA ?

I have a perplexing issue regarding a huge discrepancy between perceived storage usage and what shows up in system profiler?

I am currently thinking about what my next laptop is going to be after my MacBook Pro from about 2009 finally gives out (still going strong!), and I am in between the 128GB and the 256GB MacBook Air models so I wanted to get an idea of how much space I was using right now. When I use the system profiler I get this result:
Yet when I use MacKeeper's Disk Usage Utility I get this result:
The biggest issue being, why is there almost 50GB of difference in Music alone? This computer has been through every OS since the one it came out with (think it was Snow Leopard), I have always used MacKeeper to keep everything in order and it's been running great ever since. But can somebody please explain where these discrepancies come from and how I can fix them?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Toggle between allowing cell editing and disallowing....

Hi,
I have an edit button and when clicked it allows the user to edit all cells on the table, when clicked again all cell editing is disabled. I have a method which is called by the edit button event handler which works fine.. what to put in the method is the problem!
I was using:
private void setTableEnabled(boolean enable){
         if(enable)
             table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
             table.setEnabled(true);
             table.setBackground(enabledTableColour);
         else
             table.setCellSelectionEnabled(false);
             table.setEnabled(false);
             if(table.isEditing())
             {     table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
             table.setBackground(disabledTableColour);
     }This code worked except when i use the table.setEnabled(false) my dropdowns don't work. The editing needs to be disabled when the application is loaded. i dont know why it effects my dropdown menus...
Any ideas why or how i could go about it another way?
Would really appreciate any help or insight!
Thanks,
Saz

I was using:
private void setTableEnabled(boolean enable){
         if(enable)
             table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
             table.setEnabled(true);
             table.setBackground(enabledTableColour);
         else
             table.setCellSelectionEnabled(false);
             table.setEnabled(false);
             if(table.isEditing())
             {     table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
             table.setBackground(disabledTableColour);
You should make use of the fact that a boolean can only have 1 of two values... You don't need to check it with an if, so your code can be rewritten as:
    private void setTableEnabled(boolean enable){
        table.setCellSelectionEnabled(enable);
        table.setEnabled(enable);
        if (enable) {
            table.setBackground(enabledTableColour);
        } else {
            table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
            table.setBackground(disabledTableColour);
This code worked except when i use the
table.setEnabled(false) my dropdowns
don't work. The editing needs to be disabled when the
application is loaded. i dont know why it effects my
dropdown menus...What dropdowns?

Is there an easy way to toggle between an Apple ID and a cell phone number in Messages?

My son has an iPod but just a regular cell phone. We communicate a lot through texts/Messages but he doesn't always have a wifi connection on his iPod so sometimes, he is only reachable through his cell phone number and other times through his Apple ID. Is there an easy way to select which channel I want to contact him through on Messages?

Hi,
On your Mac in Messages with his conversation in "focus" (the one selected) Click and hold his Name in the "to" Spot and the top right of the right hand pane where the conversation is.
This will become a Drop Down and show you the iMessages (and other accounts he might have) options.
In some cases they may not have been used before and may not have the indicator.
Example
NOTE.
Any phone number will be listed as a potential iMessages ID as well any emails.
In the above example I happen to know that both the emails are Apple IDs (What I don't know is if my wife as linked either to her iPhone Number)

10.10.2 will not install - tried Mac App Store and Delta updater

I'm trying to install the 10.10.2 update on a 15" MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) which currently has 10.10.1 on it and its not going well!
The Mac App Store shows the 10.10.2 update, I click Update and dropdown says "Some updates need to finish downloading before they are installed. Your computer will restart to complete the updates." with the options "Not Now" and "Download & Restart". Doesn't matter which one I choose, after a click the update progress bar appears for a few seconds and then reverts back to displaying the Update button again. Have restarted, fixed permissions etc and it makes no difference.
So I downloaded the Delta update (not the combo) and go through the install steps and the system restarts to compete the installation, but the system simple restarts and does not update to 10.10.2, its still at 10.10.1. Have tried a few times, always the same.
One slightly odd issue is that the Apple remote Desktop update 3.8.2 appears to have been installed 5 times in the "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" section of the Mac App Store and yet it also still appears in the updates available section below the 10.10.2 update.
I've repaired permissions, restarted, checked Activity Monitor for any non responding services and checked disk space availability - 170GB available. Can't see anything obvious.
Anyone else having trouble installing this OS update?
Thanks

I have the exact same problem. Tried to install the normal and combo update. Nothing happens.
I tried the repair permissions and even the reset password method. Nothing.
Did the system restore help ? did you try to re-install yosemite first keeping your files and applications ?
It's really weird.
Thanks

Can you download apps without going thru itunes store?

can you download apps without going thru itunes store?

iTunes on a computer and then a sync, or the App Store app on the device are the only ways of installing apps on iOS devices.

Full screen toggling in Mail App

I keep Mail open all the time as I am working between that and other Apps pretty much all day. When composing a message I have discovered that in full screen mode you cannot toggle between the open message and the main Mail window.
Having it in full screen mode and being able to swipe to access it is great. However, I generally will be working on one email, referencing back to other emails and also maybe checking mail that is coming in, especially if it is an ongoing conversation (I generally get 80 - 100 emails a day that are work related). All of this is impossible in full-screen mode, rendering pretty useless from a professional work-related point of view.

Fully agreed with your assessment.
One work around is to not be in full screen, in MissionControl drag the open mail to it's own desktop (upper right + sign) and with the green button fill the screen ( or drag the edges.)
In this condition you can have access to a new mail composition and reference the mailboxes and still swipe between full screen apps or Desktops.

Hi Dhinesh,
Technically we cannot deploy the app on any site. It has to be a site created from developer site template..Here are some useful information for you.
