I get "App Store Disabled" on my MacBook Pro due to profile issues. What Terminal command can I use to reset profile settings?
After transferring documents from one MacBook Pro to another I get some weird errors due to settings that seem to have transferred over. One is that the Mac App Store is disabled.
Are there any Unix / Terminal commands I can use to reset these?

FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of Mac OS X is too new. I removed all traces of FaceTime and still not able to install from App store. New to macbook pro with Lion.any help with this would be greaty appreciated.
FaceTime is included in Lion. The App Store version is for 10.6. If you deleted it, restore it from a backup, or reinstall the Mac OS.

i m havind 15inch 2011 late macbook pro lap i7 processor 8gb ram 1tb hdd can i use avid media composer and final cut pro in this specifications?
Can't speak about avid, since I am not familiar with the software.
You can certainly use FCP X on that machine. It should work better if you use a fast external drive for your media and projects.
There is a free trial, so try it out and see how it goes. You should also follow some good video tutorials, if you are not familiar with the application. FCP X is a lot different from Avid, Premiere or even Final Cut Pro 7. -
ITunes icon and App Store missing from my MacBook Pro
Hi,
I just changed my MacBook Pro hard drive but I now have a problem with iTunes and the App Store.
iTunes is opening and working correctly but the icon for it is a notepad with a pen. I tried to download the new version and install it but it is still the same.
The App Store has a question mark as an icon and doesn't open at all. When I clic on it, the icon is not even bouncing.
Please help me resolve this problem.
Thanks
Juliethis might or might not work for you...i had something similar happened to me once when my icons and apps got switched around word became excel and excel became itunes.....etc....
what i did was verify my disk permissions - errors were found - i repaired them and when the repair was done, i restarted my macbook and everything was back to normal.
again, not sure it will work for you but it's worth a shot...
good luck - hope you get it sorted out. -
App Store totally frozen on Macbook Pro
Hi
When I started on my new macbook for the first time, I was simply checking to ensure everything was in order.
Until I wanted to download some apps from the App Store, but it appeared to become frozen when I tried to update. Any ideas to fix this issue?
Hope to get some replies from you.
Cheers,
SFRI already have tried that too.
Whenever I attempt to log out, restart or even shut down, App Store cancel that request and simply ask me to quit App Store that I cannot even try to quit App Store.
Last thing I am thinking is to let the battery carry on till it shut down itself.
Cheers,

I only have one apple account, I use it for macbook, ipad, itunes, appstore, etc.....
How can I find out what account is being referenced?
Thanks,

ILife 11 from Mac App Store on a new Macbook Pro
Hello, 2 months ago I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro early 2011 which came with Lion and iLife 11 pre-installed. I was supposed to accept my iLife bundle in the Mac App Store which I tried to do with the Apple ID with which I had registered my Macbook. But it did not complete and exited with an error which I dont remember. I didnt pay any attention to it at that time and forgot about it. But now I need to use iPhoto's iCloud functionality with my iPad but I cant because iPhoto would not update. When I click on Update in the Mac App Store it says that sign in with account with which you used to purchase it. I dont know what is happening because I have tried to use both the Apple IDs I have ever used on my Macbook but all to no avail. I even tried to update by downloading the update from Apple Support but it said that your version of iLife should be updated from the Mac App Store. What should I do? I need the iPhoto's iCloud functionality. In the future I would not be able any iLife software on my Mac.
P.S: I used my brother's Apple ID to buy this Mac at the Apple Online Store since I used his credit card and paid him in cash, but used my own ID to register this Mac. Do I need his ID for updating iLife?http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2186

Lion App Store on Mountain Lion MacBook Pro 2012
Hello,
I have a question for you helpful people. I just purchased a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion preinstalled. It is the Mid 2012 model with a Core i5 and 4 GB of RAM soon to be upgraded. This line of MBP originally shipped with Lion, but once they started shipping Mountain Lion, the same line of MacBooks began shipping with ML instead of Lion. I want to install Lion, even though I have ML on here now. I know that I can install Lion since this line of MBP originally shipped with it, but here is the question, can I use the App Store download. I tried Internet Recovery and that gave me ML, so I fired up the App Store and went to "Purchases" and re-downloaded Lion. My issue is that this line of MacBook Pro shipped with 10.7.4 originally so is the App Store version updated, and if not will I have any trouble installing the App Store version.
Thanks for your help,
MichaelI just wanted to update this so that anyone browsing the thread knew of the solution incase they wanted to try. You must have the most recent copy of Lion from the App Store. If Lion is already purchased, then simply click purchases and it will download the most recent version (10.7.5 at time of writing), thanks to mende1 for alerting me of this. Then you will need to create a USB from the InstallESD.dmg, there are instructions available everywhere. Reboot from the USB and wipe the drive by selecting the drive (not partition) and clicking "Erase Tab" then enter a name and choose "Mac OS Extended Journaled" then proceed to erase the drive. That will delete the Mountain Lion recovery partition as well as all data on the disk. Then proceed to install, which provided you have the latest version, will go on without a hitch. Lion is running beautifully, and much faster than Lion on my MBP. Mine shipped with ML yet Lion installed perfectly.
Just a word of advice, make sure you update ML all the way before you clean install Lion because the newest EFI update always helps.
And a big shout out to mende1 for helping me do this, thanks. -
2011 Macbook pro continues to have issues what should I do?
In 2011 I purchased an early 2011 2.2 i7 Macbook Pro new. Not long after I bought it I began to have graphics issues with the computer. The computer was sent into Apple and a logicboard replacement was done. I continued to have intermediate issues with the computer after I received it back. These issues became worse over time, eventually to the point of the computer not booting up. In addition to serious graphics issues and random shutdowns. This eventually led me to take my macbook on April 12th 2013 back Apple.
A repair was done in which the logicboard was replaced again. I received my Mac back on April 19th. Today April 22 my Mac shutdown again. Also some of the graphics issues from much earlier have come back. Some scrambled graphics and some tearing in apps appear on the screen. The computer shut down on me twice on two seperate occassions today. For no reason it just shut off. It use to do this before the logicboard replacement. I went ahead and submitted an error report to Apple after reboot.
I am a design professional and am associated with Appsterdam. The repair on my mac took a week and I feel far behind in my work. However just at the time that I am trying to catch up on my work. This Macbook pro has begun to go out on me again. I am so upset that I bought a unit from a bad batch or something. They have already replaced the logicboard twice as a result of these shutdowns and graphics issues.
I don't know what to do. Any information about what my next step should be would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your reply. I shall contact the Apple store again soon. My Macbook has had it's logicboard replaced two times now as a result of graphics issues. I have had the computer back now for about two weeks but it's performance continues to deteriorate. After the 2nd logicboard replacement. Some of my apps look like this... =(

How do I restore the App Store icon on my MacBook Pro?
I wanted to use a custom icon but since doing so, all I see is a blank PNG icon instead of its image.
How can I revert it back to the original icon file?
I've deleted the custom icon image files and folders already.
Thanks for your time and assistance, I look forward to your reply.
Regards,
Dee-JaiIf you set the new icon by pasting it over the old one, you should be able to just highlight it in the get info and hit the delete key, If you are unable to highlight it, hitting the tab key should highlight it for you and then hit delete.
