Be careful with App Store and multiple boot drives.

I just had a strange thing occur.  I was fighting with a Messages server problem as described here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4322859?start=0&tstart=0 and was alternating back and forth between an upgraded boot drive, where Messages was not working, and a fully functioning backup boot drive.  Two physically separate disks on the same system.
A solution to the problem above was to manually delete Server.app from the boot drive, reboot, and reinstall Server.app from App Store.
Working on the non working (Messages Server) upgraded drive which was the boot disk, I removed Server.app and rebooted.  There is now no Server.app on this drive.
Log in to App Store and ask for install of Server software.  Did not receive a drive selection request.  Assumed install would be on boot disk.
Reboot.
App Store had upgraded my backup drive to the new Server.app.  The boot drive still did not have Server.app on it.
I now have no backup.
Be careful.

The issue seems not only for TweetDeck but also for other applications and functions. For example, I tried to buy and install the following Mac app, but actually nothing happened after I clicked the BUY APP button.

Any clues please? THANKS!

  • Troubleshoot help (Macbook pro) with app store and messages app

    I believe I am having a problem connecting to the apple servers because many of my apps that connect to the apple servers don't work.
    Whenever I open the app store, it loads continously but nothing shows up. No apps open, it stays as a blank page.
    Also, when I open the 'messages' app a huge error message immediately pops up and the app doesn't open at all.
    However these apps both work when I login to a guest account.
    Anybody know what the problem could be? Thank you!

    Is your computer authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
    If yes, try to deauthorize and authorize again.

  • Anyone else having problems with App Store and it asking for you to accept terms and conditions

    Every time I try to use the App Store for updates or to download new apps, it asks me to accept new terms and conditions. I "accept" and it tells me to re-attempt download. When I try to do so! It brings up the box saying I need to accept the new terms and conditions. This loop continues indefinitely on all my Apple products.

    The iTunes and Mac App Store / iCloud problem spontaneously resolved for me as of 21:54 Pacific Standard Time on 9/30/2012.
    Someone at Apple was aware of and fixed the problem. Finally.
    Yeah!

  • Issues with App Store and signing in

    I have the iPhone 4 and just recently it started doing "funny" things.
    I have several updates available through my app store but when I go in to update them it gives me the error "Cannon connect to iTunes store". I also cannot download any apps through my phone. When I try to, it asks for my password but I can't put it in before the pop up disappears. Then my phone won't let me do anything.
    I have restarted and even restored my phone, but I'm still having issues. I read on another post to log out of Itunes and log back in. Well, I logged out but I cannot log back in. When I click sign in, via settings or through app store, the pop up comes up asking for my apple id and password. Again, I can only get 2-3 characters in before the pop up disappears.
    Can ANYONE help me? I've been searching through forums for about 3 hours now and I haven't found anything helpful!
    Thank You!!!!!

    Peter ...
    I can view Featured and Charts on my iPhone running iOS 6.
    Since this is happening on both your iPad and iPhone, first try resetting.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart the devices.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Then try the iTunes and App Stores.

  • Aperture 3, the Mac App Store, and Multiple Computers

    Can anyone answer this question:
    I have Aperture 3 installed on my Macbook Pro since the Feb 2009 release. Obviously, I bought the DVD for install. And of course, when I log into the Mac App Store, it shows as installed on my computer.
    If I bought a second mac and logged into the MAS, would it "know" that I have Aperture 3 linked to my account, realize it was not installed on the new mac and allow me to install it, or would I have to purchase a new copy at $80?
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Bryan,
    Only apps bought via the MAS can be updated or downloaded to another computer. Even though it shows AP as being installed, you'll notice it doesn't appear in your list of purchases - which is where you'd go to re-install. It only recognizes that you already have the application in order to prevent you from unintentionally buying it again.
    But if you purchase another Mac you can certainly use your current DVD or download the trial to install it on that second machine - AFAIK the EULA doesn't prevent this as long as its for the same user and not being used on both machines at the same time.
    I have the sneaking suspicion that Aperture will no longer offer upgrade pricing and instead charge a lower fixed rate (a la iWork) for each major version. What this means in the long term is a bit fuzzy though: while I'm all for lower prices, $79 is clearly consumer territory and I'm not sure how this will affect the orientation of the app in the future. That, and the influx of non-pro users this price drop will certainly bring. I believe the more users there are the better, but I just hope Apple stays focused on Aperture's primary mission and continues to cater to pro photographers. It would break my heart to see this amazing software devolve into iPhoto Plus...

  • Having problems with App Store and apps won't show on desktop or don't open

    When I go to the App Store I download a application it downloads all the way the download is finish now it says open but when you tap open it don't open anything it don't even show on the home screen

    Could it be on a different screen?
    Swipe down and type the app name in the search field.
    Anyway, try a quick reset:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • App store and safari don't work anymore after maverick upgrade

    Hello everybody,
    I'm experiencing mysterious problems with app store and safari that I don't really know if it can depend on the installation of maverick (maybe it happened afterwards and I noticed it at a later time).
    When I launch app store I have to wait a few seconds for the spinning wheel stopping and nothing happen after. Just green app store window with app store ICON in the middle and nothing else. I've tried to deactivate firewall and to reboot the MAC with cmd+option+P+R without success.
    Another strange thing happens with safari. It seems that it won't be able to handle coming html streams from the sites i'm browsing and very often it crashes. I use chrome in place of safari but it annoys me a lot.
    I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9.4 (13E28), 2.53 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM DDR3.
    Of course I've tried SW update but, since app store doesn't work, I can't complete the action.
    Any help ? Would be very apreciated.
    Thank you all in advance,
    Mauro

    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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, 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.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. 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, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Since upgrade to ios6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and connecting to App Store and iTunes store

    Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
    http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store.  Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.
