  • Automatic Downloads and Strange Error Message: "You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

    Hi gang-
    Yesterday I noticed that iTunes on my iMac had not auto-downloaded several new songs that I had recently purchased on my iPhone.    In iTunes Preferences, under Store -> Automatic Downloads, I always have Music selected so all songs purchased from any device using my Apple ID normally download automatically.
    To troubleshoot this, I double-checked my Preferences and sure enough, Music was de-selected under Automatic Downloads.   I then Selected it and clicked OK.   Here's where it gets weird and I get this error message:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.  You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 84 days.
    I read and re-read this message and none of it seems to apply to me.   I have only one Apple ID.   I am currently logged in with iTunes to that one Apple ID.   All my iTunes Music ever has been purchased with that one Apple ID.   I am not trying to associate this computer or any other with a different Apple ID.
    I logged iTunes out and then back in again and tried all the above- but same error message.
    So, as it is now, I am unable to turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes.   
    Anyone know what the heck is going on?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Hey gang-
    Okay, this gets more and more bizarre.   I sent a support email to Apple and basically they said  "...it seems that someone else associated your Mac with their Apple ID. That's the reason your purchases won't download."
    Yikes!   My wife and I live alone- and we have exactly one and only one Apple ID.    Would somebody have needed physical access to my iMac to do that?
    Support then said "You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer."
    Okay- so I logged into My Account in iTunes.   On the list of associated devices, my own iMac is NOT on that list.   But I am logged in under the same Apple ID I've had for years on that iMac.
    So my big question right now is...if my iMac (that I've owned for 5 years) has somehow been dis-associated from my Apple ID, how do I find out what Apple ID it is associated with?
    Thanks gang for trying to help me unravel a mystery.
    Dave
    PS- Here's an Apple Tech article on iTunes associations, but it doesn't really go beyond what we've discussed above:

  • Help with error message: "you can download past purchases on this computer with just 1 apple id every 90 days." there are 2 ids in my house

    Hi
    No - that is the issue - both my husband and I use the same computer and want to be able to use our individual Apple IDs so can access our download content e.g. I-books that we have purchased through our other MAC devices such as I-Pad.  In the past, we had four people using one computer with no problem regarding Apple ID.   In the newer operating system, we are now restricted to one at a time - it means one of us is blocked out from accessing our content for a period of 90 days.   Have you any suggestions on how we can both use our individual Apple IDs with the same lap-top?  We have set up discrete accounts so we log on to the computer individually.  Many thanks for any help.

  • When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I keep getting the error message: " You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damage or incomplete" when I try to install a software that I purchased.

    I have a typing software that I bought a while ago. I had installed it on an old pc but I just bought a macbook and I'd like to install it onto the new macbook, as I no longer use the old pc. When I open the installer, I get the error message: " You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damage or incomplete"
    Does anybody know if this is fixable or if I need to just buy a new disk?
    Thanks!!!

    I copy pasted this from the developers website for the minimum requirements of your device: Macintosh® OS X 10.4 – 10.5, PowerPC G4, G5 or Intel Core Duo processor, 800 MHz processor or higher, 256 MB RAM, CD/DVD-ROM drive, 300 MB free hard disk space, Video card with 32 MB of video RAM, 1024 x 768 24-bit color display, Speakers, keyboard & mouse.
    Does a macbook pro meet these requirements?

  • Got an error message "You can't open the application iMovie because it may be damaged or incomplete"  What do I do next to try to fix?  Thanks.

    I tried accessing imovie after not using it for a long time and got an error message "You can't open the application iMovie because it is damaged or incomplete. I'm not sure how to go about addressing it.  Your suggestions would be very much apprecaited.

    Judging by your OSX, I presume that your iMac would have come with 2 installation discs.
    iMovie and all the iLife software will be on disc 2.
    Run the disc and re-install iMovie.
    After that, do a software update.,
    Best,

  • After migration to a new macbook i cannot open photoshop. I get error message "you can't open this application "adobe photoshop cs" because powerpc applications are no longer supported"

    after migration to a new macbook i cannot open photoshop. I get error message "you can't open this application "adobe photoshop cs" because powerpc applications are no longer supported"

    You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
    You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

  • Im getting a constant error message: "you can't open the application PACE because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". I cant find PACE to delete it?

    Im getting a constant error message: "you can't open the application PACE because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". I cant find PACE to delete it?

    PACE is a rather crappy copy protection software used by the following;
    Antares
    Melodyne
    Cycling 74 Max/MSP/Jitter
    iZotope oZone
    Line6 POD Farm
    McDSP plug-ins (some software purchases include a green iLok key)
    MOTU
    Overloud
    Pro Tools
    Serato
    Virtually all Digidesign (RTAS and TDM) plug-ins
    Virtually all Waves Products
    So if you have any of there, they might be the cause of your problems.

  • New MacPro 10.9.4 included Keynote. Worked fine. An update was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update and now get error message "You can't open the application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Any ideas?

    New MacPro 10.9.4 purchased three weeks ago included Keynote. App worked fine. New update for Keynote was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update. Tried to launch app and now get error message "You can’t open the application “Keynote.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Confused as to why it worked prior to update. Nothing else has changed. No issues with recent iMovie, Pages or Numbers updates. Any ideas?

    I tested this:
    Reinstalled Aperture 3.1 from the Trial Installer.
    In some way it seems to be working. But the whole thing is a scary Chimera.
    It can create an Aperture library. I can import and edit images, even in Graphic Converter ias an external editor.
    But the Media Browser does not show the aperture Library that I created.
    The versioning is inconsistent. The library appears as an Aperture 3.4 library in the Finder.  Aperture 3.5 seems to be able to read this library and to upgrade it to 3.5
    The Applications folder is showing the application as version 3.4 and as compatible. Spotlight is showing it as illegal.
    When opening the chimera Aperture, I see plenty of warnings in the Console window:
    An Aperture "Hang" report
    xpcproxy assertion failed
    com.apple.IconServiceAgent: main failed to composite image
    quicklookd: Warning
    and more ... the hang was critical. I had to force quit Aperture more than once.
    So be careful. I would not trust any important Aperture library to this patched application, without testing thoroughly. Be careful with your  precious photos.

  • Error message: 'you can't open the application because the Classic environment is no longer supported'

    I get the error message 'you can't open the application because the Classic environment is no longer supported', when will this issue be fixed? I need to use a program to analyse videos called 'J watcher' that is vital for my thesis. It worked in the last operating system but refuses to open in this one. When will this issue be fixed/what can I do about it?

    Is there any way to fix this?
    Yes, but it's not easy.
    I've only tested this on Snow Leopard, but I think it will work in Lion. You need to have Java installed, which it's not by default in Lion. Since I'm not using Lion myself, I can't tell you how to do that.
    Download the Java/Mac version (1.0) of the application from JWatcher Downloads. You'll get a zip archive. Expand it. Now you have an application called "JWatcher_V1.0." This is only the installer. It won't run, because it has PowerPC-only version of the Java application stub.
    Select the line of text below in your browser and copy it to the clipboard:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MacOS
    In the Finder, select Go > Go to Folder... from the menu bar (this menu may be slightly different in Lion.) Paste the clipboard contents into the text box. You should now see a folder with two files in it, one of which is named "JavaApplicationStub." Leave that window open.
    Now right-click on the icon of JWatcher_V1.0 and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu. A new Finder window opens. Open the folder called "MacOS". Inside that folder is a file also named "JWatcher_V1.0". Move it to the Trash. Drag the file JavaApplicationStub to where it was. Rename the file (it will be copied, not moved) JWatcher_V1.0. Close the Finder window.
    Now double-click the installer. It should launch. Install the application wherever you choose. You're not done yet.
    The installer creates a folder named, once again, "JWatcher_V1.0". Inside it is an application. That, too, is named "JWatcher_V1.0". Select it, and do exactly the same thing you did before with the installer: replace the binary inside with a copy of JavaApplicationStub.
    You should now be able to run it.
