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.
Do you ever get an opportunity to enter a redemption code?

When I launch the app store, I get "minecraft." It will not allow me to return to the "featured" menu. I've tried rebooting / killing the app, but nothing has worked. Any insight?
I have also tried the fixes offered in this forum such as using the "Other" mail in setting up the gmail accounts, and not using the dedicated gmail setting. I also went to google and signed in and enable the additional devices. I had the same problems with the original account I set up for gmail, but it corrected when i went to using the "Other" instead of the Gmail button. I was able to set up the new gmail accounts on my iphone without problem and on my husband's ipad1 for his gmail account. Just the ipad 2 is giving me problems. Again, thanks for any suggestions.

it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help. also my external hard drive is a seagate free agent go, 500GB. it is visible on my tv but has no files in it… i'm scared i've lost everything?
Honestly i cannot remember sorry, i got it like 5 maybe 6 yrs ago and just started downloading things to it as the memory on the computer started filling up and when i wanted to see photos/videos on my TV.
My wife did tell me after i had written this post that she did try and record TV to it as it was plugged in. I think by doing so somehow has deleted everything. It reads on my TV yet has no files in it but won't show up on my computer. hope this helps.
Starting to think it is going to cost more to retrieve files on it than it will be to buy a newer and larger one. -
I have a Mac OS 10.6.8 server in my classroom that I have networked to student accounts on the iMacs in the room. How do I create a folder that allows studnts to place their finished assignments in it, but does not allow them to go in and remove anything from that folder?
You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

Problems with Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended
I am trying to use the Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended and have been unable to figure how I can get it to be an option using text. Can you explain how I do this, please?
I have also tried rasterizing the text first and that does not work. I have tried placing the image and them loading the selection and I still do not have the option of Repousse.
I believe the issue is with my OpenGL. In the System Info it allows Normal Mode but does not allow Advanced Mode. I spoke with the "Geek Squad" who advised that this is not an issue with my Mac but has something to do with the software.
Can someone please help me fix this? Thanks.If you really want help you may have to provide relevant information about your OS, GPU, its VRAM …

How to open multiple artboard illustrator file in illustrator. Coz, whenever we open a multiple artboard file, illustrator provide an option to chose one artboard but does not allow opening of all artboards. Somebody may explain it
Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

after I submit my book to the Apple store in I photo, it shows that it assembles and uploads, but does not finish the process. I cannot use the cancel button and have to force quit IPhoto to get out of the process.
Assuming you're referring to iPhoto on your Mac here are some potential fixes you can try:
1 -
Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked. If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
2 -
Quit iPhoto.
From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.

Album marked as "purchased" but does not appear in my purchased list
I am trying to re-download an album I bought about eight months ago, because somehow all but a few of the songs from that album were lost. It does not appear in my purchased music list, on my iPhone or iTunes on my PC, in fact none of the album, whether it is whatever remaining on my drive or not, appears. However, if I search for the album, in this case Trio Mediaeval's Folk Songs, the button used to purchase the album is greyed out and says "Purchased." It does not give me the option to download the songs though. How can I remedy this? Thanks.
Is the layer that you brought over the top layer in the stack of layers in the layers palette?

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you desire... you can Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance...

Mac app store says iwork is installed, but its not.
The Mac App store says that Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are all installed on my iMac, but when I open them, they are the previous versions. Should I delete and try to re-install? What do I do? I've already restarted. Didn't work. Suggestions?
Don't delete them. That will not help and you will find that they have more features than the new iWork apps. You can have both version on the computer. You have to have the latest version of iWork 09 for this to work.
To get the new ones.
1. log out of MacAppStore
2. Change the localized language in the System preferences> Language and Text > Text. Make sure the new language is on the top of the list
3. Restart the computer
4. Log in and open the MAcAppStore. Now you should see that you can download the new iWork apps. Do so and supply you AppleID for the appStore.
5.When done change language again in the System preferences
6. Restart the computer
7. now you should have the stripped version of iWork. The old one will still be in the application folder too. -
Ipad3 - Wifi apparently connected but does not allow access
i have some problems in the identify phase. I put alongside the old ipad1 64 gb 3g with the new ipad3 64 gb 4g. Apparently both connected to the network, but while the ipad1 connects without any problems, the ipad3 does not access the internet or mail. Then I have to disable the wifi settings and then re-enable it. Only in this way the ipad 3 works. This problem occurs both at home and in the Office
Hopefully it's just a software problem....Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
