i have downloaded mavericks and it works ok. Why however stays my app in download status instead of installed status?

Ok. Sleeping here. The App Store. Applications, other than the operating system, will be downloaded and automatically installed for you. Once that is done, the App Store Purchases category will (should) show a greyed out INSTALLED.
In App Store purchases, I have three applications that have DOWNLOAD status. Mavericks, Mountain Lion, and Lion. This particular status means that I can download again, these operating system installers, if necessary. It does not imply anything is wrong.

  • I have personal iphone and a work ipad can I select certain apps to use both devices

    I have personal iphone and an ipad for work that is owned by the company. can I select certain apps or features that will transfer to both devices?

    ALWAYS sync photos to a computer, don't count on icloud to store them for you.  It does include photos from the camera roll in a backup, but that's all - and restores are not reliable when it comes to photos.
    Added info...
    Since you should always be syncing photos to your computer as you would photos from a camera, then sync from iphone to itunes/computer, then sync from itunes/computer to ipad.

    FOR A PC:
    On a PC, simply drag photos to the designated Photo Stream Upload folder. By default, this folder is located atC:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

  • TS1496 My ipod touch will not download lates version of itunes.  Our pc is windows and we also have a shuffle and it works fine.

    My ipod touch will not download latest version of itunes 11.  Our pc is windows.
    Itunes cannot find the device to sync because it all relates back to not being able to downloand the latest version of itunes. 
    We also have a shuffle and it works fine.  We can use 2 devices for one Itunes account.
    My daughter is 11 and she has never downloaded her ipod from our pc because of the download problem. 

    iTunes 11 is for computers only, the built-in apps on an iPod (and iPad and iPhone) are part of iOS (i.e. its operating system) on them and can only be updated by updating the whole iOS version. Do you have iTunes 11 installed on your PC ? On iTunes on a PC I think that you can check if updates are available to it via the iTunes 'Help' menu, or you can download the current version of iTunes from here and then run/install it : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If the iPod has never been synced to that computer then (when you've got iTunes on it working) you may find this page for syncing to a new computer useful as well : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly

    i have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly but i want to update from itunes.iwill do back up but is there any other thing i will face after updating like it will jut show apple loge and will not work. please answer quickly

    An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible.  The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone. 
    Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

    imovie: I have just downloaded 'mavericks' and have installed all updates. I get an error message:Your computer’s video card does not meet the minimum system requirements. What to do? Thanks for any help in advance.

    I am not 100% sure this is the issue, but I saw a different thread about the ATI Radeon HD 2600 not being OpenCL compatible for another program and that a newer compatible graphics card would be required to solve the problem.  I am getting the same message with my 2007 iMac 24".

  • I have downloaded Mavericks and yet the App store shows "download" under purchases.  Why? Do I keep downloading?

    I have previously downloaded Mavericks and yet the App store shows "download"  I did and now I have done it twice.  Today i noticed that 4 apps were marked update and yet they have been updated earlier.    Why does it still say "download"

    It will allow you to download again, but you do not have to do so.
    If you Sign Out and then Sign In does it still show these status marks?  Do you get the update red badge on the App Store icon, or only in the Purchases area?

  • HT5988 I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version?  How do I make that unit compatible?  olefromca

    I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version?  How do I make that unit compatible?  olefromca

    I agree entirely, been messing with this since the upgrade to Mavericks but I didn't find it quite as easy as uninstalling the WD smartware as it still operates when you plug the drive back in - I think it gets loaded onto the drive and runs from within (?). The advice from WD was that time machine was faulty and I should contact Apple...thanks guys!
    Anyway, for the OP's benefit, this is what I found:
    1. My problem was that time machine couldn't see any further back than before the Mavericks install, but if I opened up and interrogated the WD drive, the old backups were still there.
    2. When TM started doing new backups, it overwrote the ones that it could see, not the oldest ones on the drive. This indicated to
    me that the WD software had somehow partitioned off the old backups and excluded that part of the drive from being overwritten. Of course, as the drive was practically full, it meant that any new backups wouldn't fit in the available space.....
    3. The only way I could find to resolve this was to use the disc utility to erase and repartition the external drive. This will obviously remove all of the old files and backups, but I was more concerned about keeping a current profile as backup rather than a load of stuff from months ago.
    4. Anyway, what happens after the eraseure has completed is that you get the WD icon on the desktop, and you're invited to install the software - this means the software has now been deleted. Juts don't reinstall it, just let TM do it's backup and all is well.
    Usual disclaimers and warnings about keeping another copy of your system etc. obviously apply, and I know this is a radical move to delete all your old data but it worked for me. I guess I didn't appreciate that you could use the external drive without the software that came with it and just followed the screen guide.
    I'm also aware that if you don't want to use TM to do a complete restore and only want to find one old version of a document, this is difficult. However, you can then install the WD software and find the file but you'll then have to do this all again.....

    I have another computer that a virus may have taken over and I cannot log into it anymore.  I just downloaded Itunes on a new computer but most of my songs are not on there.  Is there a way to still access or find those songs?  Remotely or another way?  Or do I need to take it to a tech to get my files off of my hard drive?

    Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
    Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
    That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
    For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

  • HT201365 Just dowloaded the new ios 7, and i can't seem to get any apps to download in the app store. It doesn't have the meter bar anymore and all it does is have a Blue circle spin and spin for over 5 or 10 min. without nothing happening! Help !!!

    Just downloaded the new ios 7, and I can't seem to get any apps to download in the app store. It doesn't have the meter bar anymore and all it does is have a blue circle spin and spin for over 5 min. without nothing happening! Help!!!

    Hi,
    This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have a VGA adapter and an iPad2.  Tried projecting my iPad2 to projector using the VGA but doesn't work.  Tried it with friend's iPad1 and it works.  Why??

    I have a VGA adapter and an iPad2.  Tried projecting my iPad2 to projector using the VGA but doesn't work.  Tried it with friend's iPad1 and it works.  Why??  Pls help.

    Yup - nothing happens.  I then took the same VGA cable and plugged it into my friend's iPad1 and it worked perfectly when she opened Keynote.  My understanding is that the iPad2 mirrors the entire screen, so no need to go into any specific application in order to project to the screen, right?  Do I need to download any specific app or change any settings in order to be able to project the screen using VGA?
    Sorry - novice at this.  Not very tech minded either...

  • I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select I then cannot scroll back to the original google page?

    I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select one, I then cannot scroll back to the original google page if I wish to try a different answer?

    Sorry, I'm not very good at describing the problem.   If I had multiple browser pages open, prior to downloading Maverick I could swipe the mouse to go back or forward as required.   Now if I google a subject and the page comes up with all the choices and I pick one, I now cannot swipe back to the first page , I have to re-open google each time, type in my seach and start from scratch.  

  • Downloading mavericks and it's been on the apple logo for more than 2 hours

    I started downloading mavericks and I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and it's been at the apple logo with the greyish white screen with the turning wheel for over 2 hours I'm not sure if that's normal. It would be great if someone who had a familiar problem   I'm thinking about rebooting it if that's a good idea?

  • I just downloaded Mavericks and now my AutoCAD 2012 won't open. What do I do?

    I just downloaded Mavericks and now my AutoCAD 2012 won't open. What do I do?

    Autocad 2012 is NOT Mavericks compatble.
    So, you either need to find and pay for an upgrade AutoCad 2013 which is compatible with OS X Mavericks or pay to upgrade to AutoCad 2014.
    If you have a cloned backup of your previous system before upgrading to Mavericks, it would have been easy to revert back to your previous OS X version.
    If you don't have a previous backup, your only option, now, is to create a backup of your system and important data , now, to an external hard drive. Once you have a backup, you need to purchase and clean install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (if you haven't purchase Mt. Lion already).
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    AutoCad 2012 is compatble with OS X 10.8. You'll have to reinstall all of your applications including AutoCad.
