I just purchased a software upgrade to OSX Lion. I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s). How do I "launch the Mac App Store?"
Assuming you are running OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain Lion or 10.9.x Mavericks), go to the Apple Menu (top left-hand corner of the screen)>App Store and it should become clear from there.

Does purchasing a Maverick Mac give you iWork on the Mac App Store?
Hi everyone!
I have not purchased iWork from the Mac App Store before, but I've seen it and used it on iPhone and I prefer its simplicity to Microsoft Office. Plus, I give presentations frequently enough and I like Keynote a lot more for all its usability and effects.
I'm thinking of getting another Mac soon, and I'm glad to hear that the new Macs running Mavericks come with iWork. However, I'm wondering if I will have iWork as under my Purchases in the Mac App Store by default after buying the new Mac, since they come together. That way, I'll be able to install it on my other Mac, since the Mac App Store allows you to install your purchases on all the devices you own.
Does anyone know whether I'll be able to do this? Will iWork be put under my Mac App Store purchases since I will own it as a result of buying the new Mac?
Thanks in advance!Yes, once you have the iWork apps installed on the new Mac, the apps will be available to download and install from the Purchases pane on your other Macs.

HT1444 How to install a new OS without using the Mac App Store
I am running OS 10.5.8 on a refurbished Macbook Pro. I am not running an OS early enough to be able to use the Mac App Store. Everytime I go under Software Update it says everything is up to date. I would like to put the latest OS on this computer, but must install 10.6 first (apparently)?? My only question is how?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To have the App Store, you need Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and you can't get it from Software Update because it's a paid upgrade. Buy it from the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner, insert the DVD and follow the steps to upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open > Software Update to install 10.6.8, so you will get the App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, just open the App Store and purchase it. Check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When it finishes downloading, just follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion. You can check the OS X Mountain Lion requirements > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs -
There's no mac app store availiable to download for me.
I want to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion, but without that mac app store it seems to be impossible.
I did all software updates but never got that mac app store. So what can I do now?THis is because you have two OS X upgrade steps. First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard ($29 us, disk only, no download).
Once you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, and run Software Update to get to 10.6.8 then you'll have the Mac App Store and can take the second OS X upgrade step to Lion 10.7.2. -
So Every Time I Download From The Mac App Store (In Lion) It Always Pops Up And Downloads/Installs In The iOS Feature Thing, So How Do I Change That So It Doenloads/Installs Straight 2 The Dock Like In Snow Leopard?? lol
Specs...
Macbook Pro (Early 2008)
Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM (MAXED)Actually it does because the Dock is Snow Leopard's program launcher. For Lion, LaunchPad is the program launcher, not the Dock. Don't like that? Here's where you complain. Otherwise, you asked and I answered.

I downloaded a widget from apple and was unable to open it because a window appeared telling me that the developer was unidentified. How do I change the security preferences that allow me to only install apps from the Mac App Store?

I inherited a situation where a previous consultant purchased a Mountain Lion installer code from the Apple Store but Mountain Lion was never installed. I obtained a new installer code from Apple based on the valid purchase of the Mountain Lion software last month.
The Mountain Lion installer appears under Purchases in the Mac App Store, but nothing happens when I try to download it. When I try to redeem the purchase by inserting the content code I get a message indicating that the content code has already been redeemed.
I don't mind spending $20 to purchase a fresh content/installer code, but I would like some assurance that the Mountain Lion software can be installed on a computer that qualifies for Mavericks. Not wanting to upgrade to Mavericks is not my idea but is that of my client.
Or to put it another way, does Apple prohibit such an install unless the computer in question does not qualify for a Mavericks upgrade?It is your decision which OS you want to upgrade to - Apple does not place such restrictions (unless the machine specs do not meet the OS's specs or vice versa). So, if yours does meet Mavericks specs, it can run any OS newer than what it came with.
So, which OS does the machine have now?
I inherited a situation where a previous consultant purchased a Mountain Lion installer code from the Apple Store but Mountain Lion was never installed. I obtained a new installer code from Apple based on the valid purchase of the Mountain Lion software last month.
Was this purchase done on this same Mac? If so and someone else purchased the OS, then the likely answer is: any OS or app obtained at the app store is not transferable - its' license is tied to the original purchaser's Apple ID forever. So, it may have been a valid purchase, but it is tied to the purchaser, not you.
In order to get past that, you will need to wipe the drive booting from either the original install disk (which OS did the Mac come with?) or using recovery if it was Lion. After wiping the drive, reinstall the original system, and then you can purchase and download any OS version you'd like using your own Apple ID.
Let me know if I misunderstood the situation. -
I am currently using Leopard but need Snow Leopard to be able to get Mountain Lion. I can see this is no longer available from Apple. How would I get it so I could then get Mountain Lion. I want the Logic 9 Mac App Store App as I don't want to have to buy the whole Logc 9 from Studio 8.
Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
AdamUpgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application -

If I purchase the latest version of iphoto from the Mac app store on my Macbook Pro, how do I get it to run on my two other Mac computers, which are desk top computer's?
Sign into the App Store on each computer that does not have iPhoto. Use the same Apple ID used to purchase it. Locate iPhoto in your Purchased list and click on the active Install link.

How do I find in the "Mac App Store" the authorize --my computer to do an upgrade on the newest imovie in Maverick? MacBook Pro 15' 10.9.2. Thank you!
He shouldn't have done that. Now you have a pirated version of iMovie on your Mac that you will never be able to update. The MAS Terms of Use do not allow that type of sharing. His Apple ID is encoded in the copy on your Mac and you can't change that.
Legally you should delete the app.
Your Mac should have come with the iLife apps pre-installed, why did he do that? -
