Free Lion update not showing in purchases in App store.

Hi I have just bought a new I mac. I want the Lion update so went to the up to date program page and entered in the information required. Lion sucessfully purchased although is not showing in the purchases tab of the app store. I have checked my order history and it is there... I would really appreciate any help as I would like to upgrade to Lion before I start messing around with my mac.

I filled out the form for the Free Lion upgrade. I would then assume that I would go into app store and be able to download it but it hasn't appeared in the purchased tab. I had just setup my time capsule and the settings were wrong so my connection was intermittent. I possibly missed something during the process. I checked my order history and the free upgrade is there, I will be contacting mac app store tomorrow.

I have a new hard drive. iPhoto does not show as purchased in App Store although I had it on the old hard drive. How do I reinstall it without buying it again?

Depends on where you got it - if it came on yoru compujter then you need to have accepeted it in the App store - and it will be in your purchases when you log in with the Apple ID that you used to set up your computer - it mahy be hidden - if you do not find it unhide applications in teh App store

You are not authorised to purchase from app store

I downloaded a free app. Then I wanted to buy the full version and it keeps giving me this "you are not authorised to purchase from app store". I'm entering the pass correctly..
I recently renewed my credit card recently, and I updated my payment info in app store.
I tried to sign out from the acc. And sign in again . I did not work.

Are you sure you didn't change the store location by accident or maybe enter your new card number or security code incorrectly by mistake?

You are not authorized to purchase from app store

I downloaded Virtual City Playground from Mac app store. During playing this game, I want to buy Invest Points，but there always appears "you are not authorized to purchase from app store"
Does someone can help me?

Hi..
According to the support page for that app...
I am playing Virtual City Playground on my Mac and I want to buy invest points. When I try to make an in-app purchase, I get a message saying “You are not authorized to purchase from the App Store”. I have checked my App Store account and it works properly. My internet connection is stable. Why I can’t make this purchase?
Please be informed that in-app purchases for Mac are available only starting from 10.7.0 (OS X Lion).
According to your profile, you are running v10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

Always a good idea to check out all the support information on the app developer's website before downloading.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 not showing up in the app store

Hello,
Going on day 2 now, the 10.10.1 update has not shown up in the app store for me yet. The only thing different or perhaps non-standard on this Mac is that OS X Yosemite was installed from the internet recovery option on a fresh formatting of the hard drive, it's using FileVault 2, and the standard user account is not admin.
The 10.10.1 update does not show up in either the admin or user account app stores. Any suggestions would be great.

Have you tried going to the App Store and finding the update there? Or getting the updater from the Apple Downloads site: OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update

My rating are not showing up in the App Store

I try to rate my favorite apps, but for some reason they will not come up. I never put anything that violates Apple Service, please help.

iPhone apps don't work on Macs and Mac apps don't run on iOS devices like an iPhone. If you sync an iPhone to a Mac, the apps from the iPhone are stored in the Mac's iTunes app's media library as a backup.
The App Store app on a Mac is not the same as the App Store app on the iPhone. The Mac version is the Mac App Store, apps for Macs. The iPhone version is the iTunes App Store, apps for iOS devices.

Macbook Air is preinstalled with Lion but not marked as "Installed" in app store

Hi all
I'm trying to restore my macbook air and im at the step to restore lion in recovery mode. When i proceed to install, I'm asked to login with my app store id then i get the message "You must sign in with an apple id that was used to purchase lion"...... but lion is already pre-installed when I bought my macbook air.
After checking in the app store, it's isnt marked as "installed" as per other posts i've seen but it has the price $29.99.
Do I have to buy Lion again just to restore my macbook?
Thanks in advance for the help.

That's why. You didn't buy it from the App store.
You can only get a physical copy of it if you buy the OS separately.
There's no reason to need a physical copy unless you are trying to install it on another machine, which you don't have a licence to when Lion is pre-installed. It's analogous to the old gray disk/white disk difference in the old days. Gray disk (comes with your computer) can't install on any other machine. White disk (you buy the OS separately) will install on anything.
If you need to re-install on your own machine, you use the Recovery disk or the Internet recovery mode.

I am trying to download an app for my ipod touch, but its not showing up in the app store. Its the icess app for controlling a bluetooth helicopter

I recently got my daughter an iCess RC helicopter. It works via bluetooth and can be used with Apple and Android devices. She has a ipod touch, but when trying to do a search for "iCess" in the app store, nothing comes up. It shows up on my PC in the itunes store, but how do I get it on the ipod touch or its apps store?
Also having the same problem when trying to locate the app with my iPad and its app store. I got it installed on one of my android devices via the Google Play store so I know its there & works. Any ideas or suggestion on what is going on here with the iPod and iPad app stores?

The RC helicopter's directions say its available in the App store for Apple and here it is in the iTunes store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icess/id558793179?mt=8 (released on 6/19/2013)
How do I get this to show up on my iPad and/or iPod touch app stores so I can then download and install it as needed?

App not showing on the iphone App Store

Hi all,
We just released ou iOS app on the App Sore from the state "Pending Developer Release" about 6 hours ago.
Its version 2 of an app that was only available on iPad, but this new version is built fo both iPad and iPhone.
The App Store on iPad has been showing the new version for about 2 hours, but the iPhone App Store doesnt yet show the app.
Its possible that propagation times are different for the different devices' stores? But we were just wondering if anyone has any experience with DPS apps released for iPhone and iPad?
We've looked for the app on the South African store and the USA store but its nowhere to be found. (its configured to be available on all countries' stores) The browser link below is our app - it states that the app is 'designed for both iPhone and iPad' and 'Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch' - so we believe our app itself isnt the problem.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/edgars-club-magazine/id915716936
Any ideas where we went wrong? or should we just be patient?
thanks, Vauneen

looks like propagation for the ipad app store and the iphone app store are different. our app was on the ipad store after about 5 hours, iphone store took about 11 hours.
(this wasnt for approval, this was after we release it from 'pending developer release')
Thanks again Neil,
Vauneen

Can not view my purchases in app store, on none of my iphones or ipad...

Have you attempted to look on your computer in itunes to make sure the apple id displays all the content on that specific account that is on the iPad?

My app is not showing up in the app store after 3 days of approval

The date is set for release correctly and has been, it says "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" even know its ready for sale and should be on there. Is there some final step to do or has it got a problem ?

I have fixed the problem just re-change your availability date to the tomorrow.

HT201272 Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? Please help!!

Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!! Please help!!

Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.

Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

How to install iOS 6

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom
