Does the app store/flight control slow down your computer?

I want to download flight control on my computer. will it slow it down or hurt my macbook pro in any way?

No, It only takes resources when you're running it.  It doesn't take much resource even then.

  • When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer.  now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810.  Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store.  Suggestions?

    I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000.  There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site.  It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
    I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

  • The App Store is very slow

    Ever since I first started the App Store, I have been perturbed and annoyed by how slow it is. It takes a full 1 minute and 50 seconds to load! This is entirely down to the Featured page. Clicking on any of the top buttons, and then returning to Featured takes more than a minute and a half.
    Now, my iMac is less than a year old, my internet connection is through a cable modem at 10MB and I have the latest version of Mac OS: 10.6.7. These days, having to wait nearly two minutes for a program to show it's front screen, and then spending ten minutes or more just looking at a few options is ridiculous.
    I've used Apple computers since the II+, and I am disappointed in this program. The concept of the App Store is excellent, and I am delighted that I can buy iPhoto or Numbers as single purchases. Why should the App Store be so slow? iTunes takes only 10 seconds to load!

    HI David,
    If you haven't done so lately, you might want to make sure check the startup disk in case it needs repairing. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities). Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to Verify and Repair Disks
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, check Capacity and Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If the startup disk is ok, and there's plenty of free disk space, install the v10.6.7 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.7. Make sure and restart your Mac after the updates are installed. Then try the Mac App store.
    Check for Login Items. That may be slowing the system down a bit. Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.

  • Why does the App Store update 10.6.8 apps to 10.7.4?

    I recently had Pages and iPhoto updates listed on the App Store for my computer running 10.6.8.  After updating both programs and launching them I received the message "You cant't use this version of the application Pages/iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X.  You have Mac OS X 10.6.8.  The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later. 
    I have a dual boot Mac Pro 2008 with Mountain Lion 10.8 on an ssd and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my hard drive with all my data.
    Does the App Store even check to see if the OS you are running is supported?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I think that you have confused the MAS with a dual boot system, so you may want to keep that in mind with future updates on your Snow Leo boot volume. The MAS can see apps on all partitions and connected drives. But as you can see from my screenshot, when it is a solo boot of Snow Leo, the MAS is not so easily fooled.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer?
    I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
    If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

  • Does the Apps store will come in the 2.1 update for the iPod Touch 1G?

    Does the Apps store will come in the 2.1 update for the iPod Touch 1G?
    Does my ipod touch 1G can play games like the ipod touch 2G??
    anyone can help?

    since i dont have credit card, i paid $10 just for an update with nothing to do.
    You need a Credit Card or an iTunes gift card to create an iTunes account.
    Since you purchased the 2.0 upgrade, you already have an iTunes account.
    The 2.0 upgrade comes with the Apps store you can use on the iPod touch. Also, you can use the App store in iTunes.
    With both of these you can download free apps and you do not need a credit card since you already have an iTunes account.
    If you wish to make an actual purchase (pay money) for an app, you will need a CC or gift card balance on you iTunes account.
    Free apps/games thru the App store require an iTunes account (which you already have) and do not require that you have a CC or gift card balance.

  • Why does the app store use so much bandwidth?

    My download is taking days and slowing down the connection for everyone else at home. With the download as slow as it is, it shouldn't have the effect it is. Is the app store similar to a bit torrent client? Is there file sharing happening? Does the download improve if the app is not free? I would hesitate to buy anything else using the app store? How long does it take to download something really big like Lion?

    It is not a bit torrent. The download usually depends on your ISP's service. My 10 mega service usually downloads things in a couple of minutes. Lion took a couple of hours because it is 7 GB or so.
    Something is wrong. I would check with the ISP.

  • HT4623 Why does the App Store want my Credit Card details to download a Free App?

    In recent months the App Store requests my Credit Card details before it will let me download a Free App. Why is this and am I going to get charged for Free Apps, a few weeks ago my Credit Card was charged $1 for down loading a Free App. Why is this happening? Jeanette143

    If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD, to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • Why does the App Store not work in Genius with VoiceOver switched on

    After I downloaded IOS 6 to my iPhone 4 there were a lot of things not working properly, the main things that were a problem was the App Store, to move anything with VoiceOver switched on it was touch-and then tap twice also to move the thing on the page you use three fingers swipe up or down left or right to move it. We now find that to move something in Charts you only need one finger touchon the left to move it.If Some body can  come up with thee answer it is the People that work in the Accessability side of things at Apple. So if you know in Ireland why Apple cannot put in the info for Accessability for People who are Blind like me we cannot see what is going on we do not change anyof the settings...

    Thank you very much for the reply. That certainly makes sense, as I am sure it is all the Time Machine backups I have that are at the root of the problem. How can I update all those older version Apps deeply embedded within my TM backups, or is the solution to unmount my 2TB drive that I use for TM?
    I suppose if Apple could somehow direct the App Store to disregard all those other apps in TM, the problem would be resolved.
