Don't want to reinstall 10.8 from app store i have the disc but how? HELP!

Turned my Imac on the other day and it keept getting stuck at the start, so i started disc utility by long pressing alt. Verified disc, which faild and verified permission which also failed. It said i had to back up and format my drive. Since i already had a Recovery disc i went ahead and formatted the disc. After reset i went into the disc and menu came up for Restoring, Renistalling os, disc utility etc. If i click on reinstall osx it asks me to sign in the app stores and when i sign in it says "you need the account from which OSx was downloaded." Since i never downloaded it and i have the disc 10.6.2 on hand how can i reinstall from that disc?
I don't know how to restore from the (locked) backup drive so i figured i will just reset the whole thing. Data in that mac in not important so i just want to reinstall the thing from my disc which came with my other imac.
Thanks for the help!

Is the 10.6.2 disc you have the original Install Disc from another Mac.

    there are many reasons not to update apps,  wow, you probably just buy anything people tell you!!  Sometimes you lose parts of an app with an update, like when shazam started limiting how many checks you could do. if you didn't update you would still be able to have unlimited downloads.  OF course eventually you will have to either update or it wont work with a new operating system roll out , but that buys you a lot of time to re-evaluate shazam and see if you really think it's all that or not.  if you would have updated your software right away like apple wanted you to last year, you would have been one of the millions that had all their info posted all over the web for every crook, hacker and thief to look over!!  I;m guessing from your reply you probably are one of the ones that was security compromised. there are just 2 reasons out of a whole list of reasons why someone might not want to  update their apps!!  If you don't have anything helpful to say when someone asks a question, your not doing them or anyone a favor just zip and move along to something you might be able to  help someone with

  • I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

    I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

    You would have to work with a retailer selling iTunes cards who would accept a non-US credit card. Best Buy is a possibility; they carry iTunes prepaid cards and will accept orders from other countries:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
    You'll have to have the order shipped directly to the person in the US (or at least someone with a US address, who could then repackage and resend the cards for you).

  • So i redeemed my money onto itunes but i wanted to get a game from app store but my money is on itunes how do i get that money on app store?

    so i redeemed my money onto itunes but i wanted to get a game from app store but my money is on itunes how do i get that money on app store?

    Is this in the US store? How much is the credit that you have on your account? How much does the app cost?
    The US store prices do not include the local sales taxes added in the final steps of the sale. If you do not have enough credit to cover the total the system asks for a credit card to cover the remaining balance.

  • I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones

    iMac 21" Intel
    year 2013
    OSX10.10.1
    I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
    I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
    I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
    The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
    I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
    I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
    I am utterly disappointed.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks.
    Carlo

    Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

  • I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

    Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

    That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
    Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
    Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
    Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
    Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
    After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
    After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
    Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
    Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
    That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
    Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

  • Reinstalling mountain lion from App Store

    My 2009 MacPro crashed badly, require a complete reinstall (reformat hard drive).
    It was running MountainLion.
    I have the Snow Leopard OSX disc, but bought the upgrade online.
    How can I upgrade the OSX again?
    Ultimately I want to restore from my Time machine backup.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    If you purchased ML from the Mac App Store, and installed on your machine, restart holding the Command and Option and R keys and you should get the drop down with the choice to reinstall Mac OS.

  • Reinstall Mountain Lion from App Store

    Okay, so I got over-excited, and upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
    To cut a long story short, I need to go back to Snow Leopard to run a couple of programs that won't work with Mountain Lion (logic 8 to be one), save/finish some files/projects (providing my old busted hard drive can be restored from the recovery company). My question is, as Mountain Lion will be in my App Store, will I be allowed to re-install it without having to pay for it again?
    Cheers, Chris.

    Yes, if you are able to get the install to actually work. After purchasing and installing on my Macbook Pro I have been waiting for 2 days for the install to start on my IMAC.
    Any software that you have purchased through the MacStore will be there in the future for you to reinstall on any Mac that runs with your apple ID. Apple kindly let you pay for a license of software an run it on all the apple products you own.
    best of luck queing for the install again

  • Error message when reinstall numbers '09 from apps store

    Asking for a client.
    I printed the error message which came from the system when trying to open.
    Client had deleted his previous version of numbers '09 from launchpad instead of his '08 version.
    Now reinstalled.
    upon opening numbers, the program just crashes when numbers starts up.
    any ideas?
    He's tried time machine, which 'see's' the program, but does not let him run the 'missing program.
    I tried install his purchased copy from the apps store.
    it says it is installing but then says install once completed.
    any suggestions?
    this client had used apple works, converted files to numbers '08.
    The 'recent files' in '08 won't open at all.
    I think the system can't find the application to make the correct install.

    Here is an update and more information:  I actually have two MBP's.  One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012.  I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently.  This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012.  I have authorized both computers. 

  • HT201314 I want to remove older updates from APP Store update page that will not install because they are not compatable with my OS Version 10.8.5

    There are a couple of updates on my APP STORE page that are extremely annoying, they can't be installed because they are to old for my OSX version 10.8.5, I want to delete or remove them so that Spotlight  stops telling me that I have 2 updates to install, when they can't be installed unless I revert to an older OS version.

  • Can't download Mavericks from App Store "you have updates available" error

    I am running Lion which came with my iMac and it's up to date. I wanted to finally upgrade to Mavericks so I started downloading it a few days ago, but cancelled the download because it was taking so long. So today, I went to start it again and now I'm getting the error: "You have updates available for other accounts Sign in to (my account) to update applications for that account." I have no other Apple accounts. I have searched for this error here an all over the web and performed all of the suggestions: repair permissions, Spotlight, you name it, I've tried it. I even had an older Mavericks install file on an external and it just bounced and wouldn't install.
    Any new suggestions?

    OK, I'm answering my own question here in case it will help others.
    I suppose you could call it user stupidity, but I'll say it's bad user experience on the part of the App Store.
    I went ahead and clicked the "Install App" button, hoping I would then have the option to just download but not (reinstall) Mavericks. That is exactly what happens.
    The App Store displays a warning to the effect of:
    You already have Mavericks installed on this machine. Do you want to continue and just download the installer?
    You click the 'Continue' button and you're good to go.

  • When trying to install apps from App Store only have a cloud nothing else to click on and get move to another app

    When trying to Install app can only click cloud no other options to click on

    Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
    It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
    The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.
