GarageBand and OSX Server have 'INSTALL' buttons in App Store when they are installed

Hi,
GarageBand and OSX Server keep showing up under the Purchases tab in App Store with an 'Install' button even though they are installed. All the other apps that are installed have an 'Open' button. I tried installing multiple times and it keeps saying 'Install'. My concern is that I won't get updates because the system thinks they're not installed.
Regards, Patrick

Unless you erased the disk when you reinstalled OX v10.7, your apps should still be in your Applications folder.
You can only, "Accept" one time...
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

changing the ram has nothing to do with the photos missing. Did you install the ram or someone else?

HT2534 Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

Try anything from the 12 Days of Christmas app or any other app from the App Store.
1. Tap the "Free" button
2. Tap the "Install App" button
The button will switch to the "Installing" button quickly and then go back to the "Free" button and thats it. No workie!
Can't believe this is broken.

I need a simple app that will allow highlighting features. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at many apps but either they are to complicated for my user or does not easily download to the app.

I need a recommedation for an app that will allow highlighting within a pdf. I have looked at several apps but the person I am researching this for wants something simple. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

I have to update all my application in my App Store however they are asking for the credit card details since this is to update only. Even to download some free games still they are asking my credit card details since it is a free. Please help me..

I have 11 updates in my App Store but every time I click the update they ask first my apply ID that would be fine but after they will ask my credit card details since this is only to update. Please help me.
Also, even I would like to download some games it's ok to ask for our Apple ID but in the second time they will ask for the credit card details. Please help me

My younger brother had the same problem. You have to go into settings, app store, details and then change your credit card details to none. If there is no none option, you will have to use a different apple id.

I have a open box MacBook Pro retina and does not have iLife. Called apple care said they are unable to disassociate past apple Id . Please help.

@mac, @me and @icloud email address don't receive my emails when they are BCC'd

I need to send a lot of mass emails for work, and it's important that the recipients are BCC'd. However, none of the Mac email addresses received my email. What can I do to remedy this?

You need special software for your newsletters. Check out the options below.
They should send to each recipient one by one so you don't have to Bcc.

Restored nano 6 but i am unable to use any buttons as nothing happens when they are pressed any ideas?

Hi, i have a nano6 which i have restored. All songs etc have been loaded but when i press the screen to play etc nothing happens. Any ideas

Maybe try pressing both the vol. buttons as well as the power button at the same time.

I have updates in the app store, but they won't update

I have updates waiting, but I can't get them to update. I have had this phone for nearly two years. This is a new issue.

What happens exactly when you click to update? Do you get an "updating" button in place of the "Update" button? Is there an error message?
Did you try updating using itunes on a computer instead of an over the air update directly from the device?

Pages and numbers under the free app section when they are not free?

Why in gods name are you doing this apple, I am an avid buyer of your software and hardware, but just putting those under the free charts tell me you are manipulating your stats, for all, keep it there and make it free, or at least make it free for the people who have bought it for their apple computers. Pick one and Do it right.

Ummm... these are user to user forums. You are not addressing Apple by posting here so I'm not even sure what you hope to gain by complaining to us. So follow your own advice and "do it right."

Server File Sharing unstable on mac and windows network on Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0

Since I've updated our mac mini server from Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X to Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0 we are having sharing issues with Windows (7 and 8) and OSX Mavericks users, not being able to access files on the mac mini server.
What I've notice is that OSX Serer 3.0 stop working and I have to restart the Mac Mini Server to make things start working again.
This was not happening with Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X.
On the Windows and OSX users what happen is the computers keep trying to connect to the server and are not being able to open or copy files. Again this is intermittent, and I suspect it might be a OSX Server bug.
Any one having the same problem or can give us and advice would be great help.
Thanks.
Andre Tenenbaum

I too am having this exact problem as well as a few of my network administrator contacts that have gone through the Mavericks / Server 3 upgrade.
It may be worth noting that before the upgrade I had run a mac mini server (core 2 duo) that never had any unintentional downtime, and the current mac server had never gone down or lost connection so I know it has nothing to do with user or network configuration.
NAS server hardware:
- Mac Mini core i5
- 16 GiB ram
- Promise Pegasus Raid5 external drive (thunderbolt)
I am NOT running time machine as the backup.
Everyting posted above is occuring although the rate at which my users lose acces is sporadic. Sometimes the server will stay up 24-36 hours and sometimes it will only stay up for around 4. Every user, every group loses acces AT THE EXACT SAME TIME EVERYTIME to EVERY SHAREPOINT...all of my local users as well as my remote users. All of my users are on Windows machines (mostly win7, but a couple of XP and 8 users as well). The share is accessed via a mapped drive using the format x.x.x.x/share and I have had 0 issues with getting users connected. The problem is 100% keeping them connected. When the users lose access the get the "drive cannot be accessed" error on their end, however when I check the server 3 app, it still shows all users connected and I have let it run for a few minutes and the idle times do change.
I also cannot see any spikes in the Activity monitor that might indicate a memory strain issue on the server side, but I assume that is because I am not watching the Activity Monitor at the moment everyone loses access.
Let me say that the SMB2 protocol does work much better when it actually works, much faster, but intermitent connectivity is a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE and has resulted in several corrupt files for my workers already. Also, because I was one of the unfortunate people that had the upgrade lock up on me and I had to restart it, I lost my 10.8.x recover backup and so I would have to do a clean install in order to restore my server back to its original state. I am also hesitant to do this because I would most likely only be able to download the Server3 app from the app store and I have not heard from apple or any other power user group on whether the bug is with the app or the OS.

Mavericks won't install, the button in App Store is blank and non-responsive.

This is extremely frustrating, and I have read every website trying to answer this issue. None of their problems match mine.
I tried to download Mavericks yesterday. It appeared to download as normal, with the icon in launch pad, but the progress bar never moved. I cancelled the download, and tried to restart it. The download button is non-responsive. I've tried going to the store tab, clicking unfinished downloads, and it says all downloads are complete.
When I go to purchases, Mavericks is listed under "other downloads," but the button is solid black with no text, e.g. download or install, and is non-responsive. Clicking the button does nothing.
I have tried using CCleaner to clean the app store's cache, restarting the computer with a full shutdown, quitting and restarting App Store, etc. Nothing works.
If I close and reopen App Store after a full shut down, Mavericks will disappear from the purchases menu. If I go to Mavericks, click "free upgrade," then button changes to "install." When I click install, nothing happens. Mavericks reappears under the purchases menu with its button, again, completely black with no text. The button is non-responsive.
Having a $2,500 Mac, I have to say that I am extraordinarily upset with the shoddy work of Apple over the past few years. For $2,500 I expect the product to work.

Actually, it appears to have started downloading, even the the purchases tab still doesn't reflect it.
Try what I did, typing "sudo nvram boot-args="-x"" (include the quotations around the -x), and then entering your account password.
Reboot the system, which will cause it to do a full reboot (you'll find your mac operates very slowly). Log into your account, then try hitting "free upgrade" and "download" from the Mavericks page in app store (not the purchases tab). It will ask you for your Apple ID and password, then it *should* automatically take you to launch pad.
If the download doesn't seem to be progressing, press the icon in launch pad to pause it. Exit launch pad and scroll down in App Store to 'free apps" on the right side. Click to download one of them, enter your password and Apple ID as usual, and see if it downloads. Once finished, hit the Mavericks icon again to unpause it. It should start then. It's clearly a very large install, so over the past thirty minuites the progress bar has moved roughly a milimeter.
