How do you re-install an app you bought on a new drive?
Just bought my first app on the App Store (Pixalmator). Pretty cool. It drops the app on your doc and it looks like when you buy or update an app on your iPhone (little progress bar under it as it downloads). In the past, most application I purchase on-line come in a .dmg file. I can then store that off and back it up. If I ever need to re-install the app, I have it installer. Now, I don't really have an installer, just the app. How do we back it up and re-install it in the future? Like if I get a new mac or replace the hard drive, etc.?
Thanks
You just do it through the App store. When you are logged into the app store you can just reinstall it on that computer without paying for it. That's how it works by design. Alternatively because of that you can install that purchased app on all of your computers. Now the catch is when there is a FULL PAID UPGRADE you would then have to purchase it all over again. But for right now you should be able to log into the app store and just redownload/install it

I changed my email address and updated it to my married name. As a result, when I try to download an app, it keeps telling me that I have the wrong password, despite resetting my password.
I have not "upgraded" to the new OS for quite a while... When I try to download an app, it states that I need "OS 3.2".. or some later version...
How do you update to a new version. It keeps telling me to go to itunes.com and click on update. I'm not seeing this at all.Did you just change your address, or create a new iTunes account? If it is not a new account you will first have to fix the password problem. Email iTunes Store support if you cannot figure out how to resolve the problem. Have you updated your login on the phone, in addition to iTunes on your computer?
To update your iPhone you need to install the latest version of iTunes (10.5). You also need an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. The 3G cannot be upgraded beyond 4.2.1. -
How can I re-install the app?
Indesign CC was trashed. Creative Cloud Shows app as "up to date". How can I re-install the app?
Hi Notebook57,
You first need to uninstall the application completely.
In Mac :-- Applications --->Utilities --->Adobe Installers
in Adobe installers you will find the uninstaller for Indesign CC just run that and complete the uninstallation.
In window :-- Control panel ---> programs and features --> uninstall Indesign cc.
After doing this you can launch Creative cloud desktop ---> log out and log back in.
You should see the option to install the software again.
Thanks

HOW COME I CANNOT INSTALL AN APP ON MY IPAD
how come I
cannot install an app on my ipadSome apps require an iOS of 5.1.1 or higher.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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 anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How do I un-install an app on iphone 5
How do I un-install an app on iphone 5?
Only apps that you have installed can be deleted. Native iOS apps cannot be deleted. If you do not have Restrictions turned on in Settings for deleting apps, just hold your finger down on the app until it starts to wiggle, and there will be a small x by it. Tap the x and that will delete the app. Then tap on the home button again to stop the wiggle.

My old hard drive crashed. How do you reload CS2 on new hard drive and get it activated?
You'll need to get onto Support and explain, and if you have not made a habbit of asking, they'll reset your activations limit back to zero. Or if you have only ever installed it once, you'll still have an activation to use.

How do you add an external Hard drive to time capsule and share it on local network?
LeeEnsure it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, FAT16, or FAT32, connect it to a self-powered hub, and plug it into the Time Capsule's USB port. If the drive is Ethernet and not USB, ignore everything else and just plug it in.

How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements?
How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements 9? Adobe says Apple handles updates, no updates were ever issued via App Store. Manual downloads on adobe.com results in Patch not compatible on both a security/bug fix update to PE9 and Camera Raw 6.5 update that adds more supported cameras.
All together, it means i have 80$ of useless software that doesn't support new camera models. Not happy.For some reason, Adobe pulled Photoshop Elements 9 from the Mac App Store. It may be related to the fact they released version 11 just 6 days ago? (Note that I'm checking right now and in the US app store - other county app stores may differ.)
In any case, because it is no longer existing, you won't be able to get any future updates. If I were you, I'd contact Adobe and specifically ask why they removed the app from the App Store, preventing their users from downloading any updates in the future. -

Upgrading the OS does not remove your apps and purchases.
