Installs on the App Store

I have accidentally clicked a button on GarageBand to install all the instruments. I do not want to do this but now everything i check for updates on the app store (mountain lion) it wants me to download it, is there anyway I can delete this install from the updates.

I understand that you can delete the App with App cleaner or whatever you favour but you cannot delete the purchasing record. Neither can you delete the update. Nor will Hiding the app prevent announced updates.

If Mountain Lion is pre-installed on my Macbook, can I re-download the installer on the App Store?

I buy 2012 Macbook Air with Mountain Lion pre-installed;
Am I able to re-download the Mountain Lion installer from the App Store, without cost?

No. What's installed on the computer is unique and licensed just to that computer. If you need to reinstall it you would use OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery.

I have upgrade to Ios5 but after the installation was complete I found that the App Store and Itune are displayed in French version

I have a laptop (2010) with Lion OS and tried to install Mavericks and part way through the installation it quit and reverted back to Lion and the app store doesn't let me download Mavericks again. How can I resolve this?

Is your data backed up?
Are you running any non-Apple system optimization tools?

I purchased OSX Lion from the APP store. The installation failed, but the store says it is installed, which it isn't. Does anyone have an answer to get the APP to re-download the APP?

The APP store has my purchase of OSX Lion marked as "Installed", but it isn't. The installation failed and I'm tring to redownload the OS but cannot because it is marked as installed.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure that the installation failed, or are you perhaps confused about what happened. It is a 2 step process for Lion. What gets downloaded to your Mac is an installer. Do you find a Lion Installer in the Apps folder on your Mac? If so, double click to open it and follow the on screen instructions to install Lion on your Mac.
Always be sure to back up your Mac before attempting an OS upgrade in case something goes wrong and you loose your entire kit.

I just downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday from the App Store and it won't install. I stopped it when it wouldn't do anything all day and now how do i restart the installation process?

Uaually when you purchase something from the app store and it has downloaded, you see an install button. I found nothing of that nature. I have a late model 2009 mac mini with plenty of memory and plenty of disk space. What am I missing?

Never mind, I see it's Mountain Lion.
Can you check in your Applications Folder to see if the installer is still there. You are confused on some things, because the installer should be giving you a DOWNLOAD text on the purchases page, not install.

How To Create A Re-Installable Version Of Aperture 3 From The App Store?

Hi...
Another question regarding Aperture 3 and the App Store.
In the FAQ section of the Apple site it says this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4461
"How do I back up my purchases?
We recommend backing up the contents of your Mac regularly, including photos, purchased movies, TV shows, and apps, to ensure that you can easily recover them in the event of a loss. If you need to recover a previously purchased app from the Mac App Store, you can redownload it if it is still available."
The important bit for me is... "if it is still available".
So... having bought the software... that I own, I can only install / reinstall it for as long as Apple keep it in the App Store. I'm pretty sure Aperture 3 will disappear as soon as Aperture 4 appears, so are we all only ever locked into effectively RENTING the software with the ability only to re-install for a limited duration? (Rhetorical).
Therefore my question is:
How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
Thanks for the help,
Clown Guy

Hi Clown Guy,
How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
The App Store also says you can use the app on another computer merely by copying it to another machine. I believe people here have had success in doing that. I believe you can back up that Aperture app package and just drop it back in to the new computer, but I've never had the cause to do such a thing. The app is all you would need to "reinstall", although it isn't truly an installation program at that point. On the other hand, other people have not had success in doing that.

Mavericks installer without using the App store

Where can I download a Mavericks installer without using the App store? My company has not sanctioned use the app store. I have admin rights and am allowed to upgrade myself if I am able to download a standalone version from the website. Which is what I usually do.

Of course. I should have been more specific. I meant from the Apple website. Typically, I have always downloaded standalone installers from http://support.apple.com/downloads/. However, the 10.9.1 updates you will find here require 10.9. That's my probem. I can't find a 10.9 standalone as I have been able to in the past.

I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?

In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery.

I upgraded the OS on my iMac to Lion from the App store; and after installation, it restarted and now the operating system won't start up.... it keeps displaying the apple/folder with a question mark and a circle with a line through it! Please help!

Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
Hope this helps.

Every time I download something from the app store, in never actually installs on the home screen.

So I'm sitting there on my bed, going through the App Store looking for some new Apps. I download some but I notice when I click the home button their nowhere to be found. I look in folders, everything. I go back to the App Store and try to open the App from there, but every time I tap the button it does not work. I decided to restore my IPod to factory settings hoping it would help the problem. For a short amount it did. I could download apps and nothing would happen. Finally I tried to install and App, and it did not appear on the home screen. The problem happened again, and I would really like to know how to fix this.

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

The App store tells me "all downloads are complete", however, the downloads are not loading and i still have the message "waiting" with no ability to complete the installations.

The App store tells me the downloads are complete, however, the føur items still show up on the Purchases page with the message "waiting" and are not loaded into the computer. I cannot even highlight the apps, nothing works.

Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
FYI... third party download managers will not work with the App Store.
From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads

How do I install Mavericks from the App Store if I erased my HD?

My mbp has been acting funny and slow, and I think I may have had some corrupted files. I have my computer backed up to time machine, and additionally I saved all my important files, photos etc to the external HD before I began. Then I erased my HD. Everything I read indicated that since I had installed mavericks previously (and legitimately), I would be able to do so again from disk utility after I finished erasing the HD so long as I had a working Internet connection. Well, I do, but now when I click "Reinstall OS X" I get a screen with Mavericks and then an error message saying, "this is not a supported method of installing the operating system/ please run Install OS X Mavericks.app that you downloaded from the app store." But I erased my hard drive! I really don't want to use my time machine backup because I'm worried some of my files are corrupted, and wouldn't that just put me back in the exact same position?
For the record, it's a late 2010 MBP that originally had Snow Leopard. My boyfriend upgraded it to Mavericks for me a few weeks ago.

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
You can then re-download Mavericks from the App Store.

How should IT Departments approach the App Store?

This question is in the capacity as an IT Administrator for a small/mid size company. We have 4 Macs, 8 iPads, and 3 iPhones. I have 1 Mac and 1 iPad at work that I use. 2 years ago we considered the options with how to support Apple ID accounts, iTunes, App Store, and the payment method(s) which need to be on-file.
Given our experience with accidental app and in-app purchases (according to the employees), the accounting department and the president decided after a conference call with Apple Support using Apple Care that rather than use corporate credit cards on file with corporate apple IDs, we would switch to a model that de-coupled the purchasing approval with installation approval. The old method required us to review the monthly corporate card accounts, then chase down the people to make sure proper purchasing approval had been sought prior to app or in-app purchase. There was no incentive for the employees seek prior approval even though one would expect professional adults to do so. Currently the company notes that it would take on average 8 weeks for an employee to reimburse the company for a recreational purchase.
The replacement system currently in use now is for all Apple IDs to be personal accounts with personal credit cards. Then employees are responsible for submitting an expense report and risk having the expense report request denied. The thinking was that this would curtail the accidental app or in-app purchases as the employee would risk not being reimbursed for an unapproved purchase. This system worked and accidental reimbursed purchases went down to zero for employees for whom this was a problem with corporate credit cards.
This is the model we use for iPads and iPhones. Up until now, all Mac software purchases were shink-wrap purchased online from Apple or via an Apple VAR. The push for the Mac to use the App Store changes this.
MY QUESTION IS: if I buy the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion with my personal Apple ID, can I install it on the other company Macs? Will those users need to know my Apple ID password? Or does the OS install without needing the Apple ID password? What if a user needs me to install his or her OS on a company issued Mac, where he or she bought the OS under his or her Apple ID, can I install that OS without knowing his or her credentials? Also can I install my copy of the OS on that company Mac and would future OS updates run without having to give that end user my own Apple ID Password? Can I install the OS using my Apple ID then hand it off to him or her and let he or she run updates with his or her Apple ID? Does it work that way? We would rather not share passwords as each of our accounts has a personal credit card on file.
We would consider corporate Apple ID accounts if the following requirements can be implemented. All app or in-app purchases should fire off an event which goes first to the employee’s direct manager then next to the company’s controller for approval. If approved, then the app store or iTunes store should allow the end user to install the purchased item. All company purchases should be kept under NET30 terms, then invoiced at the end of the month and paid all at once. These are the requirements from our accounting department. This is how all of our other vendors (IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.) are paid.
The App Store seems to exist in some new virtual reality which our accounting department and legal/policy.compliance departments cannot comprehend. I know IT Departments often get blamed for this, however, in our case that would just be shooting-the-messenger. I am just trying to understand how all of this should work. It would seem to me that this new consumer-cloud-model exists the way we have Apple IDs currently set up. The end-user interfaces with the App Store, then works directly with accounting to pay for the services. It doesn't seem like IT needs to be involved anymore. This is currently how we are attempting to approach this consumer cloud App Store model. The upside is it let's IT focus on projects which directly require our unique expertise rather than play App-Store-middlemen with no value-add.
You thoughts?

See also "Apple Support Communities > Mac App Store > Using Mac App Store > Discussions > purchase order" https://discussions.apple.com/message/15455935#15455935
However, that cited solution won't work for us as the same Apple ID password would all for both purchases and installations. We need to de-couple those 2 roles according to guidelines from our corporate office. The decision making (purchasing) and adminstrative/administraton/installation roles need to be separate and discrete. It is also similar to an enterprise model when developers write code in DEV environment,move it to a QA environment for testing, then a separate IT administrator (or Install Team) needs to copy the new code into the PROD environment.
