How does one save App Store downloads to a flash drive?

I live in South Africa, where Internet access is expensive/slow compared to the rest of the world.
For this reason, I would like to backup my App Store downloads so I can do a clean install every few years.
I've downloaded GarageBand which has been saved in my applications folder.
I have not run the installer yet.
In applications, the file GarageBand.app has been created.
If I right click on the file, I can copy it, but right clicking again doesn't give me a paste option.
Any idea how to save this file to a flash drive?
I'm running Mavericks

There is no digital rights management scheme used in the Mac App Store aside from the fact that all apps/games are coded with the user's Apple ID and the Mac on which one wishes to use an app/game must be authorized to use that Apple ID's content.
The only difference in this case is that my thumb drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) because it is my bootable USB installer for Mavericks. But as you can see it works fine.

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg image from the web (as in a right click on a pc?)

New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg from the internet, similar to using the right mouse click on a pc?

If your question comes about because you have a single button mouse, it's time to visit your local computer store and get a ''real'' mouse for that MAC. I don't "get" Apple, they sell their hardware for almost twice what a comparable PC would sell for - and then they leave out what is probably the most important time saving control, the right-button.
See this for setting the hidden pref for context menus in Firefox, for Mac's.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

How does the Mac App Store work?!

Hey guys i recently posted this quesiton in a different area of the community but instead of being helped was just ridiculed for posting in the wrong place... +1 for helpfulness guys :/ lol Anyways... ive been told to ask in the development section.. I have a $9.99 app and it was sitting at 10th place in the top grossing apps a few weeks ago on the UK app store, now I noticed in the morning that it was ahead of an app which was 49.99 so i presumed that I must have sold at least 5 or 6 to be ahead of him (my idea of top grossing is quantity x price) but when itunesconnect released their reports in the afternoon it turned out that i'd only sold 1 copy.. so what im asking is basically how does the top grossing section work? and how regularly does it update? is it live? daily? etc
Thanks in advance!

Your rank is better than the other app because you've made a sale while they've made none. When you make a sale, you jump in the charts, and after that you slowly go down if you don't make another sale. In other words, the bottom of the charts has many apps that didn't make any sale recently. I've also noticed that if you make some sales in other countries than the current chart, that'll very slightly improve your rank.

How can I throttle App Store download bandwidth

Sure, normally I'll want App Store updates and new purchases to download as fast as it possibly can.
However, there are times I want to manually initiate updates and that's when App Store utterly *KILLS* all bandwidth of the network. I can't even load a web page when App Store is downloading an update. Everything times-out, and company phone (on VOIP) utterly shuts down completely. Other computers actually lose connections with network printers, it's utterly crazy.
Is there any possible way I can throttle the bandwidth being used by the App Store? At all?
I mean, seriously, this is ridiculous. Even Windows Update doesn't do this on our Windows boxes.

Thanks for your response. Though it's not an Apple server issue I know that an app can also throttle what it pulls (for example: my USENET app can use multiple threads and even place a bandwidth limit on each, regardless how 'powerful' the server ability is. I have many other apps that can do the same.) Regardless, I marked this reply as "helpful" even though it's not the answer I was looking for (which is either where I can find the setting -or- there is no such setting in that app; I'll presume the latter).
And I know what you're thinking because I'm thinking the same thing: our network *****.

How does the Mac App Store compare to MacUpdate Desktop?

So far I have been using MacUpdate desktop to keep ALL my apps up-to-date, a very easy process. With the advent of the Mac App Store I now have to deal with two processes to achieve that.
What do all think about the usefulness of creating a separate and closed update environment with the Mac App Store? Is this better? Or not?

MacUpdate Desktop will find updates to over 30,000 (and growing every day - MacUpdate is updated 24/7) Mac apps, screen savers, widgets, pref panes, and plug-ins. The MAS will only manage and update apps you have purchases from Apple through the MAS, and will not update non-apps (widgets, pref panes, screen savers, or plug-ins) and the MAS does not contain many popular commercial applications from major software companies. The MAS also requires an Intel Mac and Mac OS 10.6 or later - MacUpdate Desktop will run on PPC and update PPC apps too, on Mac OS 10.5 or later. You can easily browse and search for apps on MacUpdate.com, and then with a single click, have MacUpdate Desktop download and install any app of interest. The community support on MacUpdate.com - reviews and similar app suggestions - make discovering new apps fast and easy. Any apps purchased from MacUpdate Promo will also be displayed in MacUpdate Desktop, allowing you to easily download and install them as well. MacUpdate actively develops and updates MacUpdate Desktop and continues to add new features and benefits. Feel free to contact MacUpdate with any further questions - desktop<at>macupdate<dot>com.

How does one report app fraud?

There is an app for Pads currently appearing as the first choice for "Geocaching" that is not what it appears to be. The app is using the Geocaching.com's logo and is selling for a "bargin" price. It is very obviously not connected with Geocaching.com, but is possibly doing other harm. How is this reported and how does it get action taken against it?

How does the Mac App Store detect what it believes to be installed?

I had a trial for Transmit on my machine prior to purchasing it on MAS.
Despite the fact I have it showing as purchased in the App Store app, I can't install it as it also believes it to be installed. Searching for files containing the name Transmit returns no results anywhere on my drive.
The trial copy is gone now, I removed the plists and other stuff too in the hope MAS would detect its absence, it doesn't.
Any tips/pointers on how I can install my software? I spoke to Panic directly, they're insistent the fault lies with Apple.
TIA :-)

What version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard is installed on your Mac? You are describing misbehavior of the MAS that was in the first version that was installed with Mac OS X 10.6.6. The misbehavior of listing apps as installed that were not acquired through the MAS was corrected with the MAS installed by 10.6.7. We now are at 10.6.8 with the newest version of the MAS.

In Pages, how does one 'Save As' - I only have the option 'Save' which wipes earlier versions

how can i save a newer version of any document in Pages without losing the earlier version?
What Microsoft so neatly do with either 'Save' or 'Save as"?

Brilliant thank you, only on mine it is called alt as I have only just discovered, and lo, as you say, Save As actually appears!
Apple isn't so obstinate after all - but why do they make it so difficult to find their simple solution? I even bought a book about switching (O'Reilly's) and nothing is mentioned about any of this.
I am very grateful to you all, now I have two options!
