  • How can I download new software without the mac app store

    I have tried to obtain new software since lion came out and have not been able to do so because I do not have the mac app store on my mac book pro. There is no hard copy of the new software so I find myself pretty much stuck.  Is there anyway i can get around this?

    You need 10.6.8 or later to access the App Store. Start with:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    If you need Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay

  • I accidentally erased Lion from the mac app store

    I accidentally erased Lion from the mac app store "purchased" tab. I already bought it. How can i re-have it in that tab, in order to download the latest version and burn it ?
    Please help me, Luca.

    Go into the Mac App Store. Under the main menu, select "Store", then "View My Account". Sign in , then look under the hidden Purchases section, and un-hide the app you hid by "erasing" it from the purchases.
    Anamusic, that discussion is confusing, because it directs you to iTunes Store, which won't help the OP at all.

  • I am using Leopard but need  Mountain Lion for the Mac App Store.  How do I get Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    I am currently using Leopard but need Snow Leopard to be able to get Mountain Lion. I can see this is no longer available from Apple.  How would I get it so I could then get Mountain Lion. I want the Logic 9 Mac App Store App as I don't want to have to buy the whole Logc 9 from Studio 8.
    Some help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com

    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

  • Can you get refunds from the Mac App Store?

    I've accidentially bought a game on the Mac App Store...and wanted to know if I can get a refund?

  • Cannot find Mountain Lion on the Mac App Store.

    I've called the Apple Store.  All I can get without paying $19.99 to talk to a real person is the automated system.  Through that, I am told that Mountain Lion is available "exclusively at the Mac App Store."  I can't find it anywhere!  I've tried searching and the only thing that I finally get is the upgrade for Mountain Lion,  Where is Mountain Lion hiding?

    I think that you called Apple Care, not the Apple Store. If you are are not in the 90 free phone help or have not purchased the extended Apple warranty then it costs money to speak to Apple Care. But the Apple Store is always free to discuss purchases. 1-800-MY-APPLE
    But the only version of OS X sold now in the Mac App Store (MAS) is Mavericks. To buy any previous version, you need to call the Apple Store and they sell you a redemption code that takes a day or three to get forwarded to your email from a different part of Apple.

  • Downloading Mountain Lion from The Mac App Store.

    I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion for my Imac from the Mac App Store. If I put my computer to sleep, the download stops, can I put my Desktop to sleep or will the download still stop?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can pause the download as many times as you need. The download will resume when you wake up the iMac

  • I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion.  I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store.  Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store.  I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

    I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out.  I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs.  I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store.  But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions.  I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
    Any ideas?

    To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

  • Can't follow a link to the mac App Store

    If I click on a link that will be taking me to the mac app store (not the itunes one) I end up at "install the app store..."
    I have it installed, I can be logged in and still I cannot follow a link, I end up having to search for whatever I was aiming for manually.
    All my software is up to date, my machine is a newish iMac.

    I don't have one to hand, sorry, but I will see what I can find.
    Okay, just googled one - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/compartments/id402352687?mt=12
    I click on the "view in the mac app store" and it takes me to http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/?id=402352687  which for me is the Apple page describing the Mac App Store and advising me to download and install it.

  • OSX Lion and the Mac App Store

  • HT202159 Why can't I download anything from the  Mac App Store?

    I cannot update apps, or download  Mountain Lion. It spent time downloading, supposedly, then after it was finished it said it was unable to do so. Tried it three times, same result.
    Never experienced this before.

    I need to clarify the problem:
    software update returns:
    The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
    The Mac App Store update, download new, or resume returns:
    The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

  • Can't download Lion from the Mac App Store. It says the computer doesn't have the correct processor, yet it does.

    User error; didn't read correctly that it said "Intel Core Duo" for the 'About this Mac'.  All set, sorry!
    Message was edited by: anne234

    It would help if you provide all the error information. Sounds to me like you may not meet all the requirements:
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
