I can not purchase from app store with my macbook air, I can not purchase from app store with my macbook air
I bought a macbook air from a friend and the account is under his name. I wish to change owner information so that I can purchase from app store
HELP!
thank you for your time
Chris
The old owner needs to go to Apple's website to "edit your Support Profile" to delete ownership registration of your product(s).
You then register your "new" device, also online. Once the old owner has deleted ownership, the serial number is freed for a user (new owner-you) to add it. You should obtain/have an Apple ID first.
On your computer, in the App Store Application, sign-out the old account. Create a new account (or sign in your account - your Apple ID).

Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?
Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?
The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here. -
Hi there, I recently purchased an app and I need to re download it onto my iphone 4s. The app is saved on my laptop and is not available on my app store download history. Can anyone advice how I can redownload it from my laptop?
You just resync your iPhone with iTunes on your laptop.
If you are logged with the same Apple ID on both devices it should be available to download from your phone:
Open App Store app > Updates > Purchased -
help solve the problem, with the lifting of purchasing and payment card is locked, and now I can not pay for her purchases in the app store
Contact the App store for Apple ID help. Their support link is on the right of the App store window

I purchased black ops zombies and I can not get it to load to play it. How can I get a refund or get to run so that I can play it?
The terms of sale state that: "All Sales are Final. There are no refunds."
However, I've always found iTunes support to be helpful. So, go here, plead your case & hope for the best:

I purchased Pages 09 through the App Store on June 22 from my Macbook. It downloaded and installed, but is not in my list of AppStore purchases. I need it to show up in my App Store purchase history, so that I may download and install to my iMac where I do more of my work when at home. THe app does not show up in App Store purchase history on either machine, however it does show up as purchased under my iTunes account. Yes, I could probably just copy the application from one machine to the other, but if it doesn't show up as an App Store purchase I won't receive any product updates.
Should I refute the credit card charge through my credit card company to get Apple to fix the issue?fayefromcary wrote:
(1) I have partial success with Bullet option 2.) Copy the application from one Mac to another Mac. When you......
(2) That option partially works, but is not acceptable in the long term.
(3) I do indeed now have the application on both machines. If I look for the Pages 09 application in the App Store application, it shows up as installed. However, it does not show up in my purchase history! This is critical as far as I'm concerned because I will not see security updates or feature updates unless it shows up as purchased from the App Store. In fact, I'm hoping that I'll get a free upgrade to Pages 11 (if it comes out soon) based on how recent I've made the purchase of Pages 09.
(1) good news
(2) I can't decide for you. Remember that I am an end user like you.
(3) (a) I never saw security update applied to an iWork application.
(b) for the update, as the app if flagged as installed you will get the update if Apple deliver an ultimate one (update 9.0.6)
(c) don't dream. Apple never did that. What they do is to deliver a free upgrade to buyers of a machine when the corresponding order was delivered after the product announcement (example : Lion if you order a mac to morrow)
Pages '11 (maybe it will be Pages '12) will not be an update but an upgrade and in such case, we must pay.
I got the described behavior for the app named "The Unarchiver" and, applying what I described, the app behave now as it must do.

I have a purchased app that will not show up in the cloud and is no longer in the app store. Is there a way to get it from my iPhone to my iPad?
You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

Can I have in one iphone 5 music from more than one itunes accounts? My daughter and I have our music in the same pc. She and I have iTunes accounts. I have not been able to load in my ophone with my itunes acct music that she purchased in her account. I have not been able to do this. Thanks
iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

Please help.
On the premise that an application is irrevocably tied to an Apple ID it was purchased from, I want to pose another scenario similar to the original question of this post.
A small business purchased a Mac for a specific purpose. Given that no one in the business is savvy enough for Mac systems, they hire a consulting IT. IT then sets up the Mac and all the apps that came with it (and here's where the problem starts) under his Apple ID. Now that the IT consultant no longer services the business, he takes with him the rights for two apps, specifically iPhoto and iMovies, at the business' expense. He also needs to remove the Mac that's tied to his Apple ID but that's only secondary issue as admin rights on the device was retained. Two generations of OS X's later, with the current update Yosemite, those two programs are now inoperable. One might suggest to call back the IT and update the programs himself but that's beside the point. Terms and conditions were set to protect these apps from unlawful sharing, but in this case, an application was purchased by a user not using his own finances.
It's no longer a question on whether we could move an application from one Apple ID to another but I wish Apple can find a way to protect their consumers from unethical practices such as this.
Thank you. -

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?
Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.
Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?
Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.
