I have purchased snow leopard and installed on my laptop, do i need to buy it again for my desktop since it is only available from the app store?

correction have lion 10. 7.5... need Mountain lion

Yes. Snow Leopard can only be installed on one computer at a time unless you purchased the family package.
But you can re-download and install Lion from the App Store on as many computers that you own.

TS1368 Why can I only download from the apps store and not itunes

Why can I only download from apps store and not iTunes.

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion

I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion? I have still 487GB free.

Quit all other programs and open Disk Utility
Select your "MacintoshHD" drive on the left and indented and click Erase > Erase Free Space > Zero and let it complete.
Also run First Aid > Repair Disk and permisisons.
If Repair disk gives a error, you have a bigger problem, if repair permisisons fixes and completes, even if it fixes the same thing twice if you click it again, it's ok. Apple just changed things.
You should be able to download the file sucessfully this time, if not, take it to another location with better/faster internet.
If not then run through this list

I have downloaded snow leopard and it is not recognising that i have, i need to in order to update to mavericks, I have downloaded snow leopard and it is not recognising that i have, i need to in order to update to mavericks

Basically, I bought snow leopard and just installed it but its not recognising the fact that I've installed it. I've tried twice and it has restarted both times, but it hasn't done anything, and I need that to update to Mavericks, which I really need to do. Please help!

Then you've installed Snow Leopard.
It needs to be 10.6.8 so download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then try installing Mavericks.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
A. Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Removing Snow Leopard and Installing only Windows on Mini

I've owned my Mac Mini now for about a month; it was my first immersion into OS X and, quite frankly, I do not like it. I do like the physical form of the mini and figured I would just delete Snow Leopard and install Windows 7 (preferably 64 bit) on it.
Can this be done? I don't want to use boot camp and lose all my partitions. I want it to be a Windows only machine.
Thanks for your time.

David is right. you need boot camp in order to install winsloth on a Mac.
one way to go about that would be to install Mac OS X on an external drive, boot from there and use boot camp assistant to create one big partition on the Mac's startup disk for the winsloth installation.
on the Mac side, use system preferences > startup disk to select which system is used to start up.
nevertheless, i would @ least browse the boot camp forum for user tips on how to best achieve what you want.
good luck !

I have purchased Keynote from the app store, and downloaded it, but cannot see it to install on my MacBook Air?

I have purchased Keynote from the app store to use on my MacBook Air, but I cannot find it on the computer, and so I cannot install it.
What else do I need to do?

Me too. Have you purchased Keynote via the App Store app in your Mac's dock or Applications folder? ...Purchasing Keynote for iPhone/iPad still requires that you purchase the Mac version separately:

I'm trying to download and install lion onto my computer, but I can't because I have not purchased lion from the app store

I have erased my hard drive, so I can't buy it from the app store, even so - I can't find it. I do not have a disk that works with this computers software either.

I'm a little confused by your post. What exactly is it that you're trying to do, and what OS (if any) is installed right now?
If your computer originally came with an earlier OS and you have lost your disks, you will need to obtain those to restore it to its original condition. You can buy the retail 10.6.3 disk if your original OS was earlier than that ; otherwise you will need the exact grey original disks, which Apple can provide if you call them.
If Lion is not available on the App Store, again, Apple should be able to sell you a redemption code to allow you to install it - but you would have to install 10.6 first to get access to the store.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Can I still buy iMovie '11 from the App Store? (I have an older iMac with Snow Leopard which cannot run the current version, iMovie 10).).

I am running Snow Leopard, and I bought a new camera (Canon Vixia HF R300). I am so far unable to download my movies into iMovie, and from what I have been able to ascertain, I need to upgrage to iMovie '11 to support the camera.
I have read that iMovie '11 was available at the Mac App Store, but now I see that the App Store has the new version, iMovie 10.0, which my Snow Leopard mac cannot support. Can I still get iMovie '11 from the App Store?

Apple has not made older versions of apps available in the MAS, only the most recent version. Apple constantly reminds folks that they alone are responcible for backing up their content purchases for the very reason that content may not always be available from the MAS in the future.
To answer your question, no, a license for a particular version of an Apple app does not entitle you to older versions of the app.

Upgrade to Leopard. Better yet, Snow Leopard if your Mac is an Intel model (you don't say much about the computer which makes this hard to make suggestions).

I downloaded Lion from the app store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install on my Macbook Pro and iPad or is there another way to do that?

All my electronics are about a year old. iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
MacBook Pro is OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549. Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
Thank you for your help.
ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time. 2nd try.

Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
“Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!

Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.
