Downloads- Mac App Store

Though the App Store lists all downloads purchased or free; how can I automate the process so that all my Mac Apps downloads go to a folder in it self rather than showing on the dock or searching via Finder? Only choice would be open the App Store look at the download/purchased and use Finder to execute them.
I see no options in the App Store to divert the downloads to a separate folder?
Any thoughts/comments?

I think the Store app can track the downloads wherever they are. I have just downloaded from the Store an app I already have and which is located in a specific folder I created some time ago. The new download from the App Store got placed into that folder and NOT the normal /Applications.
So if it can work out that the app needed to be downloaded to a non standard folder, I'm thinking it can probably work out updates for an app wherever it is stored.
In any case, OSX is actually very good at finding apps wherever they are. You can store them anywhere and they will run - unlike another popular OS I can think of...

  • How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2?

    How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2. desktop? I am trying to upgrade my operating system?

    You must upgrade to 10.6.6 but preferably 10.6.8 in order to have the App store,
    You need to have a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
    Before you start upgrading, back up your files.   If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative.   Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
    Once you have upgraded, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater.  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
    At this point you should have Snow Leopard and the App Store.   For the moment we will go no further,

  • Unable to download Mac App Store

    I downloaded it once, but then my Mac started hanging so I trashed it. Now when I click software update, it says my software is up to date. Is there another way to download Mac App Store...is it even worth it to try? It seems a lot of people are having problems with it.
    Thanks,
    Christine

  • I can't download Mac App Store

    I can't download Mac App Store using OS X 10.6.8 following Apple's downloading procedure--the Mac App Store icon never appears in the dock or anywhere else!Mac App Store

    You don't update from 10.6.3 by using the App Store. You use Software Update for that. Then after using Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you'll have the latest version of the App Store.
    I don't see how this issue relates to your iPad.

  • How do I download Mac App Store to my MacBook Pro. Somehow, it was deleted

    Somehow, Mac App Store has been deleted from my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X version 10.6.8)
    How do I download this back to my MacBook Pro?

    Yes it is. I have a Mac Book Pro and trying to open Mac App Store. It won't open and isn't even listed under my applications. Apparently, I deleted it some time ago by mistake. I'm trying to somehow download the app for it again. I can't seem to find the app to even download it. Can you help? I'm sorry if I caused you trouble, or if my question wasn't clear.

  • HT4854 How do I download Mac App store

    I am running a Mac OS X version of 10.6.8 and am confused as to where to begin to download the new Snow Leapord. I think I have to download the Lion prior to that but I'm quite confused. Would really be great if someone could help! 

    You are on Snow Leopard, so what you are looking for is either Lion or Mountain Lion?
    Does your Macbook meet the system requirements of either? Mountain Lion:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    and Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
    If you want Lion, you will need to call Apple and order it by phone; they will send a redemption code via email so you can download it. If you want Mountain Lion, you can buy it from the Mac App Store (in your Applications folder and in the dock) and download it after purchasing it.

  • Cant download Mac App Store

    Hi there,
    I have recently updated my version of Snow Leopard, but realised that the Lion has just been released. I want to downlaod/purchase Lion, which can only be done through Mac App Store by the looks of it. For some reason I do not have Mac App Store (despite having just updated my version og Snow Leopard) and I can't download it from macupdate either?
    What could the problem be and how do I go about resolving it?
    Thanks in advance!

    If it isn't in your dock, it should be in the Apple menu.
    If it isn't there, maybe Spotlight can find it - Cmd + Space, or click the magnifying glass at the top right of your screen, and start typing "app"
    If that doesn't work, try downloading the combo update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

  • Update available but can't download mac app store

    Mac app store says i got an update, but when i click the updates tab, says all software is up to date.
    Xcode was updated not so long ago and i could never run the update, so i think that is the update it says i have.
    I need that update for better stability and work better with my projects, and can't update because of this issue.
    BTW my connection is too slow to download the whole xcode again. what do i do?

    10.5.8 is Leopard, no Appstore.
    10.6.6-8 is Snow Leopard, that's what you need.
    10.7... is Lion (also Appstore ofcourse), but this OS is different. Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard first, and then decide later if you will (and can) go to Lion?

  • HT4463 How to download mac app store app

    Where can I find the Mac App store app & download it?   I have already purchased the Lion OS X but cannot download it.  Why is it so difficult to just provide a link to download?

    You had to have access to the App Store in order to download Lion.
    Click your Apple icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click App Store.
    Or, click the App Store icon in your Dock.
    Or launch the App Store from your Applications folder.

  • GarageBand already downloaded, Mac App Store asking me to pay for it again!

    I have a 2008 model of the iMac. It started out on Snow Leopard and came with an iLife '09 disc which had GarageBand. It is now running OS X Yosemite and I have updated all of my iLife apps except for GarageBand. I wanted to update it from the Mac App Store, but the App Store asked me to pay for GarageBand again! Is this supposed to happen? Is there any way around this?

    I wanted to update it from the Mac App Store, but the App Store asked me to pay for GarageBand again! Is this supposed to happen? Is there any way around this?
    No, there is no way around that, sorry.
    To upgrade from your  iLIfe '09 version of GarageBand to GarageBand 10.0 is a major upgrade - you can recognize a paid upgrade by the version number. If the first digits are different, it is a paid upgrade; only if only the digits behind the first decimal point change, it is a free update.
    If you  upgrade, don't uninstall your current version. You may want to use your GarageBand '09 loops and instruments with the new version. It has a very different set of instrument and loops.

  • How to download mac app store

    i have macbook5.2 2.13ghz withi mac os x 10.5.8 there is no mac app store and i need it what ca

    You cannot access the Mac App Store on 10.6.8. You would need to upgrade your Mac to Snow Leopard, provided that it meets the technical requirements (the most important of which is that you must have an Intel Mac). Snow Leopard is available from the Online Store,, and you should then apply the 'combo updater' to bring it to 10.6.8, at which point the App Store will appear in Applications.

  • Download Mac App Store application

    I was just recently given a "new" MacBook Pro for work, the operating system on it was very old!
    I was able to load Snow Leopard tonight with an installation disc, however to load Lion & Mountain on it (I bought both) I need the App Store
    Can I get the App Store application installed somehow?

    If you installed Snow Leopard, note that you have installed Mac OS X 10.6.3, and Mac App Store needs Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
    To update to the most recent Snow Leopard version and get the Mac App Store, open  > Software Update, and install all available updates, including Mac OS X 10.6.8. After restarting, you will find the App Store icon in the Dock, so open it and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    Remember to make a backup before upgrading, and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If your Mac can't run OS X Mountain Lion, see if you can install OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 Then, call Apple to purchase it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
