Hve downloaded OS Mountain Lion but still  appears as a needing downloading in the apps purchases yet it is downloaded how do I get rid of it?

I have downloaded OS Mountain Lion which was successful but going inot apps it still appears as requiring downloading but when I press to do this i am informed that download has been completed and so to cancel. How or why does this icon remain in the apps purchases and how should i get rid of it?

It stays in your purchased apps list because you bought it from the MAS. The most likely reason it offers to be "downloaded" (it's not that it needs to be downloaded, it is that is can be downloaded) is because you installed the OS X upgrade, which deletes the installer from the HDD. This is normal behavior.

    You are not specific with your problem or errors but one thing that always throws people off is as follows:
    When entering you're login name you must use the entire login with carrier name such as [email protected] The field defults to just your name but not the carrier name.

    Ok, so I think I have found the cause of the problem.
    I went to Tools -> Add Ons -> Plug -Ins
    Under plug ins I found the zonealarm spy blocker plug in stub
    Attached are images of enabled, disabled.
    How do I get rid of that space all together, what I mean is, instead of having to choose between a "black space" and a "lego piece space", I want no space.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    They are probably dead pixels or a signal of damaged GPU. If you can, connect an external display and see if the issue appears here.
    In both cases, I suggest you to take it to an Apple Store or reseller. It doesn't look as a software issue, and your display or GPU have to be replaced

    just do a reset, you lose no data.
    hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

    The place that has the spot is about the size is about 2cm,it still works where the spot is. I haven't sat on my phone or hit it too hard, not that I remember.  I  noticed a while ago. Will it disappear? I can see the things that should be where the spot is eg it's on the keyboard and I can see the keys. Will this spread to the whole screen? How can u get rid of this?

  • I have an iPhone 3G and when I downloaded the new operating system, a bunch of the apps on my phone disappeared.  How do I get them back on my phone's screen?

    Hi Everyone,
    When I downloaded the new iPhone iOS update, I lost most of the apps from my iphone screen.  How do I add them back to my iPhone display?  I plan to upgrade to the newer phone later this year.
    Thank you!

    If you are referring the the native apps that come with the phone they cant be deleted.  go to settings/general/reset then reset home screen layout.  If the apps are not the native apps sometimes they are just moved along a screen or so.  Swipe over the screen and see if you can find them

  • A "Bookmarks" window has appeared on the left edge of my screen. How do I get rid of it?

    On the left edge of my screen, under all the bars, is a box with a black label "Bookmarks". Under the label is a search box, and under that are 3 dropdown entries, Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, and Unsorted Bookmarks. Since there are other places I can get these tools, I want the space back that this thing is taking up. How do I get rid of it?

    <blockquote>I have a close box so I can close it with a mouse click. My problem is that the sidebar appears when I open a new window with a 'right click - open in new window' link. My question is "How can I prevent the sidebar from appearing in the first place?"

  • Reinstall OSX Mountain Lion but still access Backup

    Mountain Lion has become unstable on my Solid State Harddrive (Corsair CSSD F120GB)  and I'm plannng to erase and start from scratch.   Had problem before with doing this and then being unable to access my Time Machine backup.    Permissions issue.   I'm aware that I don't need to erase but after two years, I'd like to have a clean slate and try something new.   Just don't want to lose access to my docs and pictures.
    Plan right now is to boot into recovery mode (option key during boot), go into Disk Util and choose erase.  Then back into Reinstal OSX.   Same hard drive but fresh copy of OSX.   Will I be able to access backup in Time Machine?

    No reason why not if you use the same username and password for the admin account.
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    However, Time Machine will consider this a new device so it will want to make a new backup. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help getting Time Machine to continue using the old backup.

  • Can you download OSX Mountain Lion more than once on your computers after paying the $19.99

    If I purchase mountain lion on my itunes/app store account, can I use that same account on my other mac to download mountain lion without paying another $19.99? I am currently waiting for my email for a free copy but If i can do multiple downlaods without paying extra, I would rather purchase it so I can download mountain lion on my ineligible computer and my newer one too

    yes, you can install ML on all the macs you own as long as you use the same Mac App Store ID singing into each of them.

  • Sending the UNIX command to install updates over Remote Desktop returns No Updates Available, but they appear when I manually check in the App Store. Why?

    We use profile manager to set the URL for the Software Updates on a server inhouse, and the clients see the updates when I open the app store on their iMac, but when I try to send the update command to all Macs through Remote Desktop, RD is returning that there are no updates available.
    And here's a log message:

    Why does this happen? Do we really have to manually update each client or is there something wrong?
