How do I download an app that is not offered in the App Store? Quickbooks, in particular?

I currently have QB for Mac 2011 loaded on another computer that I am trying to stop using. I have tried downloading QB 2011 from the intuit site but when I open it up on the new MBA the message is that I can't open it because it was not downloaded from the App Store. Fair enough... but I can't find it in the App Store. Any help?
I don't want to purchase another copy of it; I just want to transfer the program from one puter to the other, enter the registration code and discontinue it on the original one.
TIA

Hi,
If you have the Download (or .dmg) then go to System Preferences > Security an Unlock the Padlock for the General tab.
You may need to set the bottom option "Anywhere"  to allow Apps not from the App Store to be installed.

  • 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,

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
    In the meantime ...........

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    Hi
    I have a Macbook air & iPhone 4.
    what do I need to do if I want to buy a book (ebook) or an application that is not available in the iTunes store in my area i.e. Africa (Egypt)?
    Do I need to open a different account in the iTunes store in the other area i.e. USA ?
    Please advice
    Thank you

    You can only buy content from your own country's store i.e. the Egyptian store if you are in Egypt - you need to be in a country to use its store, so to use the US store you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account. If there is an app or any other item that you would like to be buy that isn't currently available in the Egyptian store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the app's developer or rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download the Kobo reader app. can I download things from the internet that are not available in the apple store?

    I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download from the internet (such as Kobo) that are not available on the app store. It asked me if I was sure it was safe, so it's got me worried.

    If you know the sites are OK, then download away.

  • 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.

  • How do I download from App Store after purchasing on a different Mac?

    I bought Motion 5 last year and had it installed on my Macbook Pro and iMac. My Pro was recently stolen and I'm replacing it with a Macbook Air. But for some reason, of all the software I've bought on the App Store, Motion 5 is not showing up as a purchase. I know with certainty I bought it because I just updated it on my iMac. Help please.

    I had to think for a minute... I have seen this happen with updates and re-downloads, if I have my clone backup mounted.  Make sure your other computers (and backups) are turned off. When you go to the App Store it might be seeing that you have already downloaded it because it see it on your other Macs.

  • How can i download from app store if error says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store"

    h

    you need to review the account and verify it, including payment method. If there's no option that states 'none' next to the creditcard options, you'll need to use a creditcard for this.

  • How do i download iPhoto if it isn't available in the canadian store?

    I am trying to download iPhoto for my Macbook Pro, but it says it is unavailable in the Canadian store. When I choose to change store there is an error message.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • HT201272 How do I download audio books that are not on my purchased list? That I have purchased.

    I have purchased a few audio books on iTunes and in the process of upgrading the audio is no longer on my iCloud account. How do I get these books back? The books are in my purchase history. But iTunes would make me pay for them again if I get it from there.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so they won't appear in the cloud for re-downloading. Have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/

  • How do I download streeming video that's NOT protected by copyright?

    Hi, some amateur music sites I like have streeming videos in quick time. I would like to keep a feew of them in itunes and add them in presentations and such.
    Is there a simple way of doing this perhaps similar to making screen dump stills?
    Any good suggestions?

    You can get Snapz Pro and set it up to capture to QT anything on the desktop or in a window or selection so you could play the video and re-record it in Snapz Pro in real time. It ain't cheap.
    Streaming is streaming so you don't download it.
