App Store update counter on dock icon does not reset properly
There's definitely a bug in the App Store for Mac. The update counter does not reset properly. I have purchased only one app so far, and this morning the dock icon indicated a (1) meaning an update was available. I downloaded the update and the ( 1 ) disappeared. When I quit the App Store, the (1) reappeared on the icon in the dock. Now whenever the App Store launches the (1) disappears and whenever the App Store quits it reappears so it always looks like an update is waiting.
Hi Colin,
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.dock.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load. Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.
Go to the App Stor and download an app- any free app will do, it doesn't matter.
Doing this usually "resets" your device's "app awareness" and you should be able to run any app with no problem.
And no, you don't have to keep that free one you just downloaded. You can delete it if you don't want it. -

Changed my email address, confirmed my password. The App Store has old email address and does not recognize the password?
Easy fix... it's a refresh issue. Sign out and back in with changed name.

Hi,
I have found a weird problem, which I can't explain myself. In the App Store the counter icon (little red dot ball) tells me that there are i.e. 5 updates available, the same count can be found in the App Store on the Updates tab. Clicking on it the App Store finally tells me that there are currently no updates available for my computer. Even when it finds one or two updates and when I install it, the count does not change. X updates availabe, but App Store says no.
I have searched several discussion forums and discovered that there are more people out there with the same problem. Has anyone here maybe some kind of solution for me?
Regards, ThomasThe problem was that I changed from country and thus changes App Stores. Half of my Apps were bought through the South African App Store and the other half through the Kenyan App Store. When I changed my store back to the South African App Store I could see the apps that still needed to be downloaded. I'm busy downloading the apps now- I'm pretty sure the counter icon will now dissapear.

Apps Store allows to sign in but does not allow update or purchase
iLife came installed on my new Macbook Pro. I am being prompted to download two udates, one each for iMovie and iPhoto but Apps Store, despite permitting successful log-in, keeps on demanding password over and over again. To resolve the issue, Apple has sent me free codes for iLife. If i uninstall iLife and try to reinstall it using new codes, will Apps Store allow that? As i am totally new to Mac, I am reluctant to delete any application.
Has some other Apple ID been used on this (brand new) computer by the reseller?
As long as you are not actually seeing a starnger's Apple ID appear on your Mac, them most likely no.
The issue is that you likely didn't do the setup of the new Mac exactly right. When you first set up the Mac, before using any apps you are supposed to go to the Mac App Store, sign into your account (Store menu) and go to the Purchases pane and accept the iLife apps; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If you did not do that and you used any of the three apps, then this is the type of problem that results. You cannot accept the apps and ypu cannot update them.

Clicking the App Store item in the Finder menu does not open the application for one user account.
Although clicking the App Store icon in my Dock works, clicking the App Store . . . selection in the Finder menu doesn't do anything. I created a second user account and the Finder Menu worked as expected.
Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
Finder dock icon does not open a Finder window when a file is dragged onto it
In Snow Leopard and Lion, when you dragged a file onto the Finder dock icon, a Finder window popped open and you could then navigate to where you wished to place the file.
In Mountain Lion, this behaviour has changed. Now either nothing happens, or Mission Control Expose kicks in with a blank screen since there are no Finder windows already open to show.
Is this just my install or does everyone find this annoying removal-of a-useful-feature behaviour change? Seems like a mistake to me.I never knew the feature existed, so I don't miss it. It also isn't something I'd use in my normal workflow.
However, it is disconcerting to lose functionality that was useful to you.

Mail dock icon does not create new message when a file is dragged onto it
After installing Snow Leopard, dragging a file to the the Mail icon in the dock no longer creates a new message with the file attached. Mail is brought forward as the active application, just no new message window.
This was the behavior in earlier versions of mail.
Is there a preference, or any other change, that can be changed to allow drag-and-drop of a file to create a new message with an attachment?
--JamesThere are some issues with drag and drop. I was having the same issue with Mail with SL, but I didn't check after 10.6.1. However, I just installed a new hard drive, and migrated. Mail works for me, now.
It didn't work with my 10.6 which had been upgraded with multiple builds in the beta. I assumed it was related to the other drag and drop issues. Now that I check it again, I don't think so. -
i am not able to get into my MacPro notebook. person set up passwords i do not know???? he certainly did not use any password I use
therefore i cannot do much of anything. I got Apple to call me but when she transferred me, call was lost and no one has called me back.
my case no. is 405403541.Did you purchase the Mac used? If so, the person should have erased the drive and reinstalled the original system and should have given you the install disks.
Good luck with your call to Apple. -

updates. the Icon stays black like its updating, but in never doesHello Donna,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues completing your app updates, you may want to make sure you can otherwise access the iTunes Store/iOS App Store. You may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If the iOS version listing in your post profile is correct (iOS 8.0.2), you may also want to make sure that your iPhone is updated to the most recent version of iOS:

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.
You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

Recently when I install apps, the icon does not appear on the menu screen, also, it shows that it is downloading at the app store and when complete, I can not open it or reinstall it. Has happened on the last 4 free apps. Help Please
Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.
