Downloading previously bought apps onto a new computer - Not working

I just bought an iMac and I expected to be able to re download apps I had already bought in the App Store.
When I open the App Store Application I see the list of all the apps I have got through the app store and some of them show as being available to install and some of them show as being installed and are greyed out.
I can't download them fresh onto the new computer.
For example I have bought Hype - I tried copying the app across from my MacBook to the iMac and putting into the apps folder. Click on it to start the app and I see it briefly in the dock and then nothing. It is not running. I just tried it again and same thing but I got a dialogue to say I bought it on another machine and a request to log into my Apple account. I filled in that dialogue and the Hype app still refuses to run.
after filling in the password and clicking on Sign In - I still can't run or re install the app.
Same with Vector Designer, Smart Converter
Then there are other apps I have brought across and they are working such as iProcrastinate, Calendar,Alfred and Resize it.
Anyone have any suggestions

Quit the App Store.
Launch iTunes on the new Mac. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer
Then go to the menu bar and click Store / Sign Out.
Relaunch the App Store.
Note: To download previous purchases on a computer, your computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that was used for the original purchase. For more information about iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization see, this article.

  • How do I download previously perchased songs onto a new computer?

    I want an iTunes or Apple customer service rep. to tell me how to down load purchased songs onto my new computer!!

    Alternatively... If you still have access to your Old Computer...
    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • I can't find where to download elements premier 11 onto my new computer?

    I can't find where to download elements premier 11 onto my new computer?

    JODY
    Let us put together some information which will be helpful to getting the customized answer for you that will work.
    1. Have you purchased Premiere Elements 11 and/or 12 and do you have a purchased serial number for either?
    What computer operating systems are involved - old and new?
    2. If you purchased an online download of either product from Adobe, you should be able to download these files from
    Adobe http://www.adobe.com in the My Orders section there once you Sign In. You can also get help from Adobe via Adobe Chat by clicking on the following link, and, when it opens, clicking on the statement "Still need help? Contact us." to discuss Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges.
    Contact Customer Care
    If you did not purchase any of the installation files from Adobe, then this should not help.
    3. If you have purchased serial number but cannot file installation files or disc anywhere, you can download and install installation files for Premiere Elements 9, 10, 11, and 12 from the following web site. They are tryouts into which you can insert your purchased serial number and then make that your working program.
    This is the link to the Premiere Elements 11 tryouts
    Photoshop Elements 11 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
    This is the link to the Premiere Elements 12 tryouts
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    With either of them, you have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions and follow them carefully otherwise you will end up with an Access Denied message.
    Please let us know if any of the above helped. If not, please supply more details for us to help you.
    Thank you.

  • HT1349 I have changed computers and would like help to download all I need onto my newer computer.

    I can't seem to download Itunes onto my new computer. I still have Itunes on another computer and maybe a couple others. But I mainly use this computer now. How can I have all my information transfer onto this computer?

    You'll need the help of some sort of third party software such as CopyTrans or Phone to PC.
    Google for other possibilities.

  • How do I download my lightroom software onto my new computer when I already have my software on my old computer?

    I purchased a new computer and tried to download my lightroom 4 program onto it. It is still installed on my other lap top. Can some give me some direction on how I can download my software onto my new lap top? Thanks in advance.

    You have to use the same download link or same installer(DVD) to download & use the same serial number(it can be activated two times) to get it activated.

  • I cannot play previously bought songs on my new computer.  The songs show up in my library but I have to give my new computer permissiom?

    Library shows previously bought songs, but won't play on new computer?

    If you haven't already done so then you should be able to authorise your account on that computer's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option - if you are using a PC and the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show
    e.g. (hopefully the image will show, but there is a bug on these forums affecting images)

  • How do I download my adobe photos onto a new computer?

    How can I download all my adobe revel photos onto a computer to save? Preferably all at once and not one photo at a time.

    If your new computer is a Mac I would recommend installing the Revel Mac application. There you can select multiple images, then select Photos>Export and export the images where ever you would like on your desktop.
    From a browser at adoberevel.com you can only download one image at a time.

  • Transfering bought music onto a new computer?

    I just bought a new computer and when I plugged in my ipod it asked to transfer bought music. I clicked yes and then it said it couldnt transfer any of my bought stuff becuase it says it's not authorized to play on this computer. Any one have an idea of how to fix this??

    The instructions are in the link I provided:
    "To authorize a computer to play purchases using your Apple Account
    Select a song, video, or audiobook you've purchased (in your library or the Purchased playlist).
    Click the Play button.
    If the computer is already authorized, the item plays. If the computer has not yet been authorized, iTunes asks you to enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the song."

  • Can i download all the apps on my new computer?

    hey,
    i have all the adobe apps on my old computer... and i just got a macbook pro and still got 6 months to go with my adobe CC.
    can i add them or replace them with the other computer?
    thanks

    You are allowed to have two working installations with your CC subscription.  If you like you can leave the original installation and keep it as a backup.  If you prefer not to be sure to sign out of it.  You can install on the new machine the same way you did originally... install the CC manager, sign in, install the applications.
