App Store Navigation

Problem: when in the app store, and navigating to say, the 400th app, when I select the app to view it and try to "go back", instead of going back to the screen with the 400th app, I'm taken all the way back to the screen with the first app and I have to use the arrow to go back to the screen with the 400th app - surely this isn't the way it's supposed to work, is it? what am missing here? Thanks for your time.

So here we are a year and a half later and this horrible iPad app store navigation problem has not been addressed at all?
I could be 10 pages deep in photo apps — I tap an app to read about it — and when I go back to browsing I'm taken back to Page One and even my browse by popularity had been changed to release date! How could such a major flaw just get ignored. Makes it really impossible to effectively and enjoyably explore apps — not to mention lost app revenue for Apple.

App Store application main navigation is disabled

Hey folks,
in my App Store .app, main top navigation is disabled. I can access those links by pressing Cmd+1/2/3/4/5 or through dropdown menu, but I cannot click on the links.
It is annoying. Everything actually works, but it is annoying that I cannot click on the navigation =)
Any ideas how to fix this?

There are some other threads with this same issue that might be useful.

I have this problem myself and haven't found an easy way to fix it. Someone in one of those threads suggested re-installing OSX. I might give it a shot later. Don't hesitate posting here if you find another (hopefully faster) solution.

Trying to install app from App Store results in "An error has occurred."

I am trying to update TextWrangler in the OSX App Store application. Multiple attempts to update have resulted in the same error. This appears to be also happening with other apps (Pages, in particular), but for the moment I will keep troubleshooting localized to TextWrangler.
The basic symptom is that I try to update TextWrangler and receive a dialog stating "TextWrangler failed to download / Use the Purchases page to try again.". After I acknowledge the dialog I see "An error has occurred." next to the "Install" button on the purchases page. Further attempts receive the same error.
Initial attempts to remedy this have included deleting everything in $TMPDIR/../C, everything in /Library/Updates, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist, Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies, ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent, everything in Library/Caches/com.apple.storehelper/ as indicated in several forums offering help related to this problem. I have also tried completely removing the software (from /Applications) and installing from scratch; I get the same symptoms in this case.
As per https://discussions.apple.com/message/23951810#23951810, I have included a log file to (hopefully) help diagnose the issue. While I don't really understand much of the log output, I do find it interesting that at Apr 21 17:02:49 (when the download starts) you see many mathematically meaningless percentages displayed.
I very much appreciate in advance any help you can provide on this issue
The following log was created by:
1. quitting all applications
2. starting Console
3. selecting /var/log -> appstore.log
4. clicking "Clear Display"
5. starting App Store
6. clicking "Purchased"
7. clicking "Install" next to TextWrangler
8. waiting until the "TextWrangler failed to download / Use the Purchases page to try again." dialog appeared
9. quitting App Store
10. in Console, select all and copy/paste here:

I cannot download Mavericks and there is no Launchpad, App store, or iTunes on my Macbook Pro. What do I do?

My Macbook Pro recently had Leopard 10.5.8 oprating system, but I want Mavericks. I know that I need at least Snow Leopard or above, so I purchased Snow Leopard. I installed it once and everything looked good. I navigated to the app store, signed in, and proceeded to click download on the Mavericks upgade. An icon went to my dock like it was downloading, but it immediately paused itself and when I clicked resume, the download would not resume. I canceled the download and tried clicking download Mavericks again in the app store, but it still would not download. I went to go look at the progress in Launchpad, but I then realized that the Launchpad application was not in my dock. I opened a Finder window, navigated to applications, and searched for the Launchpad application, but it was not there either. I scoured the internet, including the Apple communities, for answers but I could not find any help at all. By this time I had sat through all the software updates and the operating system was at 10.6.8 with a "no new software" message when I checked for new software. Even then, there was still no Launchpad and Mavericks still would not download. I then proceeded to pop the Snow Leopard disc in again and reinstall. After I waited for it to finish, there is still no Launchpad and now my iTunes and App store have disappeared with a question mark on the dock in their place. After I realized this, I attempted to navigate through Safari in search of more help, but the laptop would not respond to my type and it seemed to redirect me every time I tried to post a question here in the Apple communities.
I have tried everything I can think of. Unfortunately, the rest of my family is PC and does not really have a clue when it comes to macs. I need my laptop for my work and I hope I can get answers if I post my own question instead of looking at other questions. I really need help. Thanks!

How do I reinstall an older version of Aperture from the App Store?

Hello,
I have an older Macbook - 13 inch early 2008. It is still running fine on 10.7.5 Lion, but can't update to a later version of OS X, as it is not compatible. I have Aperture 3.4.5, which I purchased from the App Store.
Following a hard disk problem, I've reinstalled the laptop, used software update to get all the latest patches, and have recovered my files and applications from my Time Machine Backup. Unfortunately, Aperture is no longer able to open files from my Sony Nex camera ("Unsupported Image Format" message") even though it worked before I rebuilt my Mac, and is listed as supported under Aperture 3.4.5. I've done all of the "Repair permissions", "repair database" and "Rebuild Database" things, but it hasn't helped.
I've tried to fix this by removing Aperture (in case my Time Machine backup version is in some way corrupted) and reinstalled from the App Store, but the App Store won't let me have Aperture anymore, even though I've paid for it, because my system is no longer compatible with the current version, 3.5. I can't see a way of downloading a full copy of the older version compatible with my system. I can see updates for Aperture listed at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#aperture, including Aperture 3.4.5, but these require a copy of Aperture 3.0 or later already installed to update, and even if I run the 3.4.5 update, it tells me it won't work because my copy of Aperture is from the App store.
Can anyone help me find a way of navigating the App Store or Apple web site to get the copy of Aperture 3.4.5 I have licensed from Apple?
Many thanks.

@léonie
Thanks for your help with this. I've downloaded the latest RAW support updates supported on my machine - V4.09 that seems to contain all of the RAW formats for previous updated including V4.06, which includes the NEX 3N, my camera. After a short while (there seemed to be some sort of background processing ging on in Aperture) it started to allow my NEX 3N photos to be viewed. Some of the thumbnails were corrupted, but if I made a slight edit in each of these files, the thumbnails updated and all was well.
Prior to this, I raised a call with Apple, because the inability to reinstall software from the App Store that I've purchased from in App Store to a machine that supports OSX 10.7.5 and no later strikes me as a problem. I need to know that if my Time Machine backup fails and I need to reinstall, I've got somewhere I can go.
The support people at Apple were very helpful, and it feels like they recognise this as a problem, and are working to resolve it behind the scenes. The App Store will not allow me to download the last version that works on my machine at the moment, but it sounds like Apple is thinking about how to do this. In the meantime, they are shipping me a copy of Aperture 3.0 on CD, and sending me a registration code. This will solve my immediate problem.
This does make me wary about using the App Store for purchases in the future. I don't upgrade my hardware that frequently - I have no real need to as it just keeps working - and so not having physical copies of installation media for when the applications stop supporting my OS is a worry. On the face of it, maintaining prior versions of the software for older machines to download from the App Store seems like a reasonable solution, but they are not there yet, and there is no real commitment for them to do this. Anyone who doesn't back up their Apps in Time Machine (probably the majority of users) could loose them altogether when Apple moves on, and cuts app support for older OS versions.
Thanks to @léonie and @Frank Cagianno for your help.

Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

You need an iTunes card.
You can setup an account without a credit card if that helps.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
I found this in the iTunes help menu.
Redeem an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or Gift Card
If you received an iTunes Store allowance, gift certificate, iTunes Gift Card, or promotional code, you can use it to buy songs, videos, or audiobooks from the iTunes Store.
You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
Before redeeming anything, make sure you are signed into the iTunes Store (choose Store > Sign In, or select Sign In from the navigation bar at the top of the iTunes Store window):
I don't see any mention of App Store cards.

How do I transfer an App store purchase from my MacBook to my iPad-WITHOUT an Internet connection?

I live on a boat in an anchorage. My iPad won't connect to the wifi in the anchorage; my MacBook Pro, with an external radio, will make the connection (sometimes). I want to purchase a couple of apps from the App Store and download them to my computer. I won't be able to connect the iPad to the Internet--ever--but I can of course connect it via USB to the MacBook Pro. Can I
- purchase the apps from the App store
- download the apps to my MacBook Pro
- disconnect the MacBook from the Internet (it costs about $1 per minute for my connection)
- sync the iPad to the MacBook
- transfer the newly purchased apps from the computer to the iPad
Just a reminder--I _can't_ connect the iPad, ever, to the Internet. The signal just won't reach that far. I don't want to take either the computer or the iPad on a (wet) dinghy ride to try to get close enough to the wifi hotspot for the iPad to connect (maybe). Both the iPad and the MacBook Pro are registered to the same ITunes account, but there isn't any way to connect the iPad to iTunes central for their servers to confirm this--only the MacBook Pro can be connected.
I also don't want to erase any info on the iPad--I have waypoints, navigation info, documents, etc., stored in various apps. Do I have to sync first to avoid losing this data? (Hope it's not cloudy tomorrow and those solar panels will be pulling some amps!)
Thanks,
Sue
PS--I have OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1 on the MacBook; iOS 6.0.1 on the iPad.

Yes, you should be able to buy/download apps from the iTunes app store on your Mac and then sync them to the iPad - neither the iPad nor the Mac should need to be connected to the internet to sync the apps over to the iPad
If the iPad hasn't been synced to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Apps no longer found on App Store - despite long been "Ready for Sale"

As discovered yesterday, all our paid apps have been "lost" from the iOS App Store.
An alert saying:
"Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."
...appears instead.
Nowhere are they to be found, either by navigating directly to their urls in a browser, or by searching via iTunes on computer, iPhone or iPad.
Not even when clicking the link from within:
[ my developers account > iTunes Connect > Manage your account > [particular app] > View in app store ]
...will they appear, despite them being marked as "Ready for Sale".
This has been confirmed for the Swedish and US app stores so far, on different computers/locations.
All these apps were approved between mid 2009 and mid 2010, and all have long had (and still have) the status "Ready for Sale" and are distributed worldwide.
At the same time, only our FREE-apps are still to be found on the App Store.
I've submitted a report to their support, but receiving a reply could take a while and in the meantime I'm loosing income.
Does anybody know what's going on?
Is this happening for others, or is it just our apps? Has this happened to others before?
Thanks.

Yes, apparently all of a sudden my previously active iOS-contract has been placed under "Request Contracts" instead of in "Contracts In Effect".
When there's a change in contracts you'll always get a notification from Apple is my experience, but now nothing.
My iAD and Free-contracts are still in effect, though.
Could it be connection with having just paid the Mac OS X-developer fee? I strictly remember having ADDED this to my existing account, not creating a new one.
So should I request a new contract, with all the hassle of having to send them the w8ben-form etc (taking forever)? Or is it a shorter process since I've been a registered developer for more than 2 years?
Eh, I'll go ahead and click the "Request"-button for the iOS contract. If you have any more input I'll gladly hear it.

HT1918 When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information

When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information.
Billing popup will display and navigating to billing detail page.

Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item (free or paid-for) from the store.
If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will need to enter credit card details - you should be able to remove the card after entering it

Installing Actions in PSE 9 Downloaded from App Store

Hi everyone,
I'm seeing quite a few folks who downloaded PSE 9 from Mac's app store that can't install actions into PSE. I've connected to their computers, unhid hidden folders, and looked for the navigation path I would have expected. That doesn't work. I ran searches for the native Elements actions like Blizzard and couldn't find them.
Nothing works. Any ideas?
At first I thought this was a Lion issue, but it appears that the App Store is the common theme. I know the App Store version doesn't have the Organizer, but I was under the impressions that it was the same other than that.
Thanks!
Erin

Hey guys, thanks so much for your time!
I've seen it on Lion - a brand new install on a brand new computer and I've seen it on 10.6.7, which is not, I think, Lion.
Mtstuner, I tried all but one of the suggestions on those links you sent. Even revealling the hidden files in the Library didn't do it. But I'll try the last suggestion regardless. If I could just find where Blizzard and the other native ATNs are stored, I'd be good.
I even tried that scary typing in the Mac terminal thing. Never have done that before. It did reveal hidden files, but not the ones I'm looking for.
I think it has something to do with the App version. Without the Organizer, I would expect the file structure to be different. However, I wouldn't expect it to be so different that I can't find the files anywhere. I've been able to find them on a million (or so) different computers/versions of PSE/operating systems. But this is the first time I've ever tried on an App.
I'm going to reconnect with one of these folks who is having issues tomorrow to see if there is anything else I can try. I'll report back if I get any more helpful info. I'm leaving on a vacation tonight, but this has really picqued my curiosity!
Thanks again for the help!
Erin

Apps store looks different suddenly

Just today when I signed onto the app store, looks completely different, text vs graphic based, everything in verrtical format, can't really select anything to order (button to buy is gone)
What gives?

I get this occasionally too. I don't think it's the iPad, but something messed up in the store code. I think that because even after rebooting and restarting the store, the glitches are exactly the same. Then minutes or hours later, everything is back to normal. I've also noticed that the navigation is frequently messed up after viewing an item, with the back button sometimes going back to the page where it's supposed to, but sometimes going back to the first page of items instead. There doesn't seem to be any logic to the problem, either.

App store purchase history

Is there any way to find out the purchase history from the app store on my Ipod touch?
can't find it :s

With iOS 4.3.3 or later:
Open the App Store on your device.
Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
Tap on Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
*On iPhone or iPod touch, tap Updates from the bottom navigation bar, then tap Purchased.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Disregard the numbers. It an artifact of cut and paste.

Disappointed with maps, will google maps be available in the App Store?

I was really looking forward to the new maps but am very disappointed. Don't get me wrong the 3D maps are great, but so far in the UK I can only find London with this function.
But this isn't my gripe. It's the view in standard mode, none of the road types have different colours so navigation is much more difficult. On google maps the motorways are blue, major A roads green and so on. All the roads are the same colour on apple maps so motorways look the same as a roads etc. Is this likely to change?
If not will google maps be available in the App Store any time soon? Or is there a free/cheap map app that is as good as google maps? I can use google maps in safari but its nowhere near as intuitive :-(
I know the OS is only new, but they've been making a song and dance about this maps and I find it a big disappointing. I don't even like the colour scheme, oceans and rivers etc are shocking blue.

If you go to google.com and view maps on the full site then there is a pop-up that asks if you would like to add the mobile app version to your home screen. This puts the google maps app on your phone. It is web based and at least on my phone is slow to load up but the resolution is what you were used to before the update.

Why can't I download anything from the App Store?

I tried downloading a free app from the apple App Store but I now get a message saying there was a problem taking payments and I have to update my credit card details. This is confusing as the app is free and I have never tried paying for an app without having the money in my bank to pay for it. Why does it now tell me I ended credit card details to install an app and why has the error occurred with my bank details?

Check to make sure your credit card details (like expire date, etc) are current.
