How do we "demo" software with the app store?

usually there's a demo to try an app before you buy - how do we do this with the app store?

Use the developers site for any software demo/download/purchase that is of a substancial cost amount to you.
You DON'T want to deal with Apple's semi-English speaking India call center if you have a issue. TRUST ME!

How can I download software from the App store a second time?

Hi,
I purchased OS 10.7 from the App store because I no longer had the original discs from my computer.
I downloaded it on to one of my computers, but now I want to put it on a second computer but the App Store say "You've already downloaded this " and I'm unable to get it. The App Store says I can download it 5 times...?
Anyone know the solution?

Go to your second computer, login to the App Store using the same AppleID you used when you purchased OS X Lion and download it from THAT computer. Or, since you mentioned you downloaded it to one computer and both computers are on the same local area network, share the Install OS X Lion.app file with your second computer or put it on an 8GB USB thumb drive, unplug the drive, plug it into your second computer and copy it to its /Applications folder.

How do you file a complaint with the App store?

Does anyone know how to file a complaint with the app-store people? This may sound really childish but PlayFirst has a series of games called Dream Chronicles available in the app store. They're listed as free then in the description they tell you of course you can "try it free then download the full version from inside the game". Recently they released Dream Chronicles: The Eternal Maze available for "free" in the app store with no mention of the "try it free then download the full version from inside the game". It may be petty but I consider this false advertising since their other games tell you it's not the full game.

How do small companies / non-profits purchase software from the app store?

Hello, I have asked this question to a few Apple Business reps and I seem to get conflicting answers depending on the person I talking to.
I work in the I.T. department for a large non-proffit. We are no stranger to purchasing Apple computers, phones and iPads. But we are running in to much confusion when it comes to the purchasing and specifically the licensing of Apple Software from the App Store. For years we have worked with Microsoft and Adobe and have found their licensing (especially for our "one-off" purchases) to be quite helpful. Each time a user requests a software title, we order it and it is put into our licensing account and is charged to our I.T. credit card. Accounting has a clear papertrail to follow as to which department gets "billed" for the purchase and everyone is happy.
However, with Apple, and the App Store, there is no such program for the type of "one-off" purchases we do. Sure, there is an "Enterprise" Volume Licensing solution, but the minimum purchase quantity for software licenses is 20. Most of our requests come in as 1 - 5 copies of a software title. So, Apple's solution to us has been to create a separate Apple ID for each purchase. This worked OK until we got up to 5 Apple IDs on one credit card. This led to yet another phone call to Apple and having them tell me that you can only associate 5 Apple IDs to one credit card... their solution? "Just open up a new credit card for every 5 licenses that you need". That solution is absolutely impossible for our accounting department. I called Apple back to see if I could talk to another business rep. That individual informed me that the only way to get around this is to just purchase pre-paid iTunes gift cards and associate 5 Apple ID's to each one that we buy, then just keep track of them with an Excel sheet. Again, this is an accounting nightmare. What happens when there is money left over on a card? ($5 that is unused may seem trivial, but that ads up!)
Anyway, I'm hoping that somebody has found a decent solution to this, and I REALLY hope that Apple gets their volume licensing program together. They boast about being ready for the corporate world, yet they still have "solutions" in place that require end users to go out and buy iTunes gift cards just to make sure they remain in software compliance????

Oooookay...
I realized that both the iPhoto 9.3.2 and iMove9.0.7 updates are in .dmg format (disk image) up on the support downloads site. So I downloaded them, and applied the iPhoto update (using ARD), which (supposedly) succeeded. Then I tried the iMovie update, and I got the message: "iMovie9.0.7Update.pkg" could not be installed. Error message: "The version of iMovie installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available."
Well, first of all, the iMovie update is over a GB, and no, I'm not going to go walk around to 64 machines and download 64 GBs of network traffic so that each machine can have its own personal special download of the update. The one update. To be repeated with every update. That's what ARD is for!
AND the iPhoto update which supposedly succeeded didn't apparently get applied -- the App Store still shows the update as being needed, and launching the app and doing an "About" says that it's at version 9.3 (650.39).
If I were to create an apple ID for the company, can I attach that one apple ID to all 64 of the macs that the company owns?
Is there any way to update AppStore software without an apple ID tied to the machine? Is there some problem with App Store software licensing? Is it legal to use the software in a business? Is that why the software is quarantined away from these machines? Can it only be sold to an individual employee, and if an employee attaches his/her personal apple ID to a company-owned machine is it even legal to use the software commercially?

Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?

What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?

I update the software and the app store was eliminated, how I can download again???

You cannot delete it or download it.
It is likely on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine. Please help!

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges). I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here. It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT. How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password. I reset it, but it did not change the problem. Can someone help me?

It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

Issue with the App Store showing up blank.

Issue with the App Store, it will not let me search for new apps. The screen is blank. The update section and features section works, but it will not let me search for new apps. I have restarted my phone and no changes. The newest update to the iphones when the iphone 5 came out, i think, messed up this app. When i am looking at how to fix it, it tells me to delete it and try again, but the App store is not a deletable app. Any ideas why my App store, specifically the search section of this app doesn't work?

I suspect it is on Apple's side of things. Mine was blank too, but now it works again. Fixed itself one morning.
