How To Send Gift From Mac App Store

Hi.
My friend got a new Macbook.  I want to send them a gift of an app from the Mac App Store (not iTunes or iOS).
How can I send them an app or dollar amount as a gift from the mac app store?

If your friend ives in another country there isn't anything that you can do. But if the friend lives in the same country as you and uses the same Mac App Store (MAS) as you, you can send the friend an iTunes/App Store Gift Card or an electronic iTunes Gift certificate to cover the cost of the app or other content. You cannot gift MAS apps and games as you can iTunes content.

    How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
    I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
    It will not go to the Mac App Store
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
    os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
    I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
    Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

    If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

    Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash.  Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
    Install new MAS app -
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

    OS X Lion 10.7.5 update combo

  • How can I copy installation/setup files of an App downloaded from Mac App Store?

    I just purchased and downloaded Xcode on my Macbook Pro and now want to install the same on my MacBook Air and iMac but I don't want download them again and again. Isin't their anyway by which I can copy the installation/setup files of that App and paste it on another Mac and use my iTunes account credentials to verify the App with Apple servers, so that they know it's legit install. And also keep the copy as backup so that, I can install that App again after I format my computer or use it for future use.
    I live in a third world country and aren't blessed with high speed and unlimited bandwidth connection.

    The Mac App Store remembers all apps you purchase with your account. Apps you purchase and install from Mac App Store can also be copied to an external hard drive, USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, or backed up via Time Machine.
    If you save a copy of an app to removable media (such as an external hard drive) or file share, simply drag the app back from its storage location to your Applications folder. When you open the restored app for the first time, you may be required to sign in with the Apple ID account that was used to purchase the app.

  • How do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

    how do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

    Well, you can cancel your Snow Leopard order if it hasn't already shipped. You need not wait on it as you can download Mountain Lion now that you have a redemption coupon (I assume that's what you meant by the email.)
    After Mountain Lion is installed you can download a free copy of Mavericks. This all assumes that your computer meets the requirements for Mountain Lion.
    Before you do any upgrade I strongly urge you to do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Personally, I would erase the hard drive then install the new OS X version. First, make a backup of your files from which you can later restore.

    I have the same issue. I followed the instructions and successfully changed to the US store  but my App Store and iTunes still accesses the old German one and so I cannot find or download US app store apps.
    Do you meet the following requirements: 1) have a valid billing address in the U.S., 2) have a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes gift card purchased in the U.S. and 3) are you physically present in the U.S.?
    If you don't meet all of those requirements, you can't purchase from the U.S. Store.

  • IPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store will not update from 9.1.5

    I downloaded the iPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store.
    When I try to update from 9.1.5 to 9.2.1, I get the message: "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store."
    Since the Mac App Store is where I downloaded the update from, I don't know how exactly to proceed.
    Any suggestions?

    Terence and Peter,
    I have iPhoto 9.1.5 which was installed on my iMac that I received November, 2011.
    My wife has the 9.2.1 version of iPhoto on her MacBook Pro which she bought months before I bought my iMac.
    My iPhoto library opens fine in 9.1.5 on my iMac but will not open the copy of her iPhoto library that I copied to my iMac. We have two libraries and I want the same one she has instead of two separate libraries.
    I went to the Mac App Store and downloaded iPhoto9.2.1 Update.dmg to my desktop.
    I then opened the .dmg and clicked on the iPhoto9.2.1Update.pkg.
    The install iPhoto Update window started to open briefly before the Alert message "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available" appeared.
    I checked the MAS and found this link and this is what I downloaded: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iPhoto%209.2.1
    hth, Bob

  • 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.

    Same problem here in Brazil.
    It seems to be a problem with logging in App Store in the Mac (Yosemite 10.10.2).
    When I tried the very same userid and password I was able to login in to use my iCloud account from the same computer and also from my iPhone.

  • I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store but system do not restart and monitor shows no signal?

    Hi All
    I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store. Update wants restart and I do that. First it shows installing updates on monitor and then after waiting for more than 30 minutes, it did not restart. On monitor it shows no signal now. I have checked all the connections. Mac mini LED light is showing blue color and i think its signalled the ON mode. Also mouse lights are on. Please provide help, as I need to solve it asap.
    Thanks

    Boot to recovery and first try repairing the startup disk via dis utility.
    Next reinstall the OS via Recovery

    If you go to System Preferences > Network do you see other networks listed on the left panel?  Is the lock in the lower left corner closed?  If not, highlight your network, then close the lock so you block other networks.

  • I can't download Pages from Mac App Store

    I have been having some trouble in dowloading Page from Mac App Store.
    I had dowloaded and used before, but recently I reinstalled the Mac OS.
    When the download reachs amost 10MB, it restarts a few times and gives me the message: "Pages failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again."
    I tried both two following methods:
    1 - open $TMPDIR/../C* and deleted com.apple.appstore
    2 - Quit App Store.
    Open Terminal.
    Execute this: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    Launch App Store.
    At the Menu bar, there should be a "Debug".
    Click on that and press "Reset Application"
    Restart App Store.
    But none of them worked for me.
    Can anyone help me?
    Cheers.

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
    Step 2
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
