Apps purchased with a Mac don't show as installed in App Store

This may be related to a question I recently posted about iPhoto, but I think I am beginning to understand the problem better now so will rephrase it here.
In 2009 I bought an iMac (a lovely machine with 2.66GHz Intel i5 quad core and 8Gb of memory, plus the biggest screen available - I went for maximum spec at the time!). With the iMac came iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band...). I also bought iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote...).
I have now installed OS X Mavericks, and am becoming totally confused about the upgrades to these applications. I think this is perhaps because I didn't buy the original software through the App Store and only set up my Apple ID quite recently (within the last year I think)
Here are my issues:
1) iWork 09. I can see that there are new versions of Pages, Keynote, etc (eg Pages 5). However, as far as I can see these have reduced functionality compared to iWork 09 - so I want keep the iWork applications. But iWork applications are all iWork 09 and they seem to want to upgrade to iWork 11. But where is iWork 11 and how do I upgrade to it? And why are the new versions of Pages, Keynote etc dumbed down compared to the older versions?
2) iLife. I just opened Garage Band, which I have used in the past to experiment with Podcasts. Garage Band opened and said it wanted to upgrade to version 10.05 - so I said ok why not? It went through the upgrade process successfully - and now Garage Band has lost track of all my previous Podcasts and not only that it tells me it doesn't know how to do Podcasts!!! Happily, it turns out that Garage Band 05 is still on my system and still works (and knows about my previous files). But frankly, what a mess!
In the App Store, Garage Band now shows up as "installed", but iPhoto and iMovie do not. On the other hand, maybe I don't want the new versions if these are also "dumbed down" compared to what I already have.
Enlightenment would be very welcome!

That's why. You didn't buy it from the App store.
You can only get a physical copy of it if you buy the OS separately.
There's no reason to need a physical copy unless you are trying to install it on another machine, which you don't have a licence to when Lion is pre-installed. It's analogous to the old gray disk/white disk difference in the old days. Gray disk (comes with your computer) can't install on any other machine. White disk (you buy the OS separately) will install on anything.
If you need to re-install on your own machine, you use the Recovery disk or the Internet recovery mode.

If I buy an in app purchase with iTunes account "B" on my ipad, while logged into a different gamecenter, will it show up on Apple ID "A" email?

If I buy an in app purchase with iTunes account "B" on my ipad, while logged into a different gamecenter, will it show up on Apple ID "A" email? I am trying to buy an in app purchase for Clash Of The Clans. My gamecenter is associated with Apple Account "A", but if I purchase the in app purchase under Apple Account "B", will it show up in Apple Account "A" email, due to it being associated via gamecenter? Please reply!

No. An in-app purchase can only be made through the same iTunes Store account that the game was originally purchased through and will be linked only to that account. Receipts will be mailed only to the email address associated with that Apple ID. What Game Center account the game is linked to will be, to the best of my knowledge, irrelevant.

Backing up iPad apps purchased with two accounts?

For a recent sync, I "transferred purchases" from my iPad to iTunes and subsequently synced it to my iMac with my personal AppleID. Before syncing, my iPad had apps purchased with two separate AppleIDs on it.
Upon doing a restore for the iOS5 upgrade, the apps purchase on the other AppleID account don't show up on my iPad.
Where are the apps now and how can I get them, and their data, back?!? I know I can log into the other AppleID on my iPad and redownload the lost apps from the App Store. However, I need the DATA from the apps (note taking apps and such). How do I get that data back?
If this isn't an option, this is a major fault of Apple's account design.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions~

Hello J_DougBC,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article that addresses Apple IDs that are different than the Primary Email Address on the account. You will need to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ to "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same."
If your Apple ID and primary email address do not match, or they match but the email address is unverified, you can edit them.
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. If you want to add and verify an email address that matches your Apple ID, follow the dialog box that says "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same." This will automatically unverify that email address from any other Apple ID for which it was previously verified.
3. If you want to change your email address to one that does not match your Apple ID, click Edit next to your Primary Email Address. If this email address is already associated with another Apple ID, you will need to sign in with that Apple ID and delete it before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
Note: If you have an @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID and primary email address, you cannot edit your primary email address once it has been verified. To change your @me.com or @mac.com primary email address to another email address, contact Apple Support for assistance.

I hope this helps get you back on track!

How do i approve my kids app purchases with family share

how do i approve my kids app purchases with family share on my iphone?

Hello andrewmarkp,
With Family Sharing, you can approve purchases with the Ask To Buy feature. The following article provides helpful information:
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Approving purchases with Ask to Buy
You can turn on Ask to Buy to require approval for purchases initiated by any family member who is under 18 years old.*
iOS 8
Tap Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap your family member's name.
Turn on Ask to Buy.
OS X Yosemite
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Click Manage Family and select your family member's name.
Select Ask to Buy.
Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.
If you don't wish to be billed for purchases initiated by a specific adult family member, you can remove that family member from the family group.
*Ages may vary by country or region.
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

Looking for step-by-step tutorial for in-app purchase with iOS

Hello everyone,
I'm in a bit of an unusual situation here. I'm currently working in a company, the elder programmers of which are in a different project while my humble self is charged with the task to develop for iOS with Flash Pro CS5.5.
Our Creative Director is planning the app to have an in-app purchase feature for some content. The problem is, that I have never dealt with such core programming yet, so I don't yet have an understanding of how to imagine the process of the in-app purchase itself. Sure, I googled and read through the tutorials explaining the certificates and the procedure of getting the information from Apple to be able to publish Apps. But I haven't found a decent tutorial explaining the programming part of an iOS in-app purchase with AS3 yet. It might be because developing with Flash for iOS is currently developing (haha) and so the community is still growing, but surely there are already people who managed to get it all running, one only need to know where to look for them.
So is there anybody out there, who could either explain himself, or point me into the right direction where someone else explains it, so I can learn the full process of integrating an in-app purchase function into an App developed for iOS with Flash and AS3?
I would be incredibly thankful for information of any kind, that would help me.
Thanks in advance!

I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

How to back up phone with apps purchased with multiple iTunes accounts

It's a long story, but my iPhone has apps that were purchased through multiple iTunes account.
Is it possible to create a backup of my phone that accounts for all of these apps? Last time I tried backup in iTunes, it only backed up the apps purchased with that particular iTunes account, but not others.
Should something happen to my iPhone and I need to restore/clone my phone, I want all my apps -- regardless of whose iTunes account was used to purchase them -- to be restored.
Any quick and easy way for this?

The backup does not include any apps. It only includes the list and arrangement of apps; which are then reloaded when you sync after restoring.

In-app Purchasing with Phonegap

There’s Phonegap/Cordova plugin to support In-app-purchase on Appstore(iOS) and Google Play(Android), but no way to support Windows Store.
How can we do In-app-purchase with phonegap/cordova for Windows Phone/Windows Store?
Who know if Windows Store supports Javascript Web API to do In-app-purchase ?

Hi fengshuiapps,
If you want to use the WinRT API's directly in your Cordova based app, then all you need to do is to check for window.Windows property and then use the Windows Runtime classes you would normally do from a regular Windows Store/Phone Runtime apps.
For example, this link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh694067.aspx talks about enabling in-app purchase for a Windows Store app which uses the Windows Runtime classes directly.
In your case, you will need to use windows.Windows to access the entire Windows Runtime. There is no "intellisense" for getting the WinRT class information, but you should be able to access the classes at runtime.
Something like this..
if (window.Windows) { // this means you can use the Windows Runtime class information
var license = window.Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.CurrentAppSimulator.licenseInformation;
// you can now access license.expirationDate or license.isActive properties

It's automatic, as long as your balance covers the price of the item (including any applicable taxes e.g. state sales tax if you are in the US) then only your account's balance will be charged (if it doesn't cover it then any remainder will be charged to your credit card).

Ok, it was a slightly tounge-in-cheek response.

Is there a "password corral" App provided with the Mac/Snow Leopard?

Is there a "password corral" App provided with the Mac/Snow Leopard?
Someplace to keep all manner of passwords one accumulates?

Keychain does an okay job of it.
But I much prefer 1Password. It costs $39. There's a promotion on at MacUpdate right now, where you can get it bundled with Parallels Desktop, Tech Tool Pro, and seven other decent apps for only $50, instead of the $367 all the apps would cost if bought individually.
