Lion is no longer available from the App Store, but I haven't gotten it yet.
I purchased Lion from the App Store on October 27th, but then realized I could not download it yet due to bandwidth restrictions at school (though I did download it once, but the file corrupted and I went over the bandwidth limit, causing my Internet to be shut off). So I'm finally home for Thanksgiving, and went to download again to install it this time. However, the download is no longer available. It doesn't show up as purchased, and when I tried to log in and download it, it wanted to charge me another $30.
Is there any way that I can redownload this again without paying again?
Thanks in advance,
John Walsh
Alright. I resolved the problem. In case anyone else has this issue, my copy of Lion got moved to 'hidden purchases'. Unhiding it fixed the problem.

If i click on the download button in the purhased section nothing happens. if i go into the App store and click download on Mountain Lion there it looks like it is starting to download and opens Lauchpad but it never moves off 'waiting'.
Any help would be great.
Thank you !Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Press Shift key on boot, delete Mountain Lion installer from Applications, open App Store > Purchases and download OS X. If it doesn't help > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact -
How can i download an app that i bought from the app store but is no longer avalaible?
hi, i recently changed my iphon from 4 to 5 and when i try to re-install the apps i found that tubebox is no longer available on the app store. how can i get the app now?
First, make sure that sync automatically is disabled: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Then connect your iPad, do not sync, right-click in the left device pane: Transfer Purchases.
That should put it in your app library, & if a universal app, just sync it to your phone. -
After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!
Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.
Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

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 just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store. I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again? Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.
You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select Mountain Lion.
Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install. -
I had downloaded this app before it was removed from the App store but I accidentally deleted it off my phone. It says it's back up with iCloud but I don't know how to get it back onto my phone. Is that even possible?
Not unless it is in your iTunes library. If so, you can sync it back to your phone. If not, you can't get it back.
This is why you want to always transfer your purchases to iTunes by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Or, turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) or Edit>Preferences>Devices (PC). -
I live in India.Earlier I was using my Debit Card to purchase apps from the App Store.But now I don't know what has happened,whenever I enter my debit card details,it is always declined.
What should I do ?
Please help me !I believe apple no longer accepts debit cards in some countries. Try a credit card instead. Go to settings/iTunes and App Store tap on the ID then then tap on view apple ID and log in then tap on account info and have a look at the billing options available to you

I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?
The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here. -
I want to download Lightroom from the App Store but I can't find the exact match (I think its $149 Aus dollars). There seems to be many other items related to Lightroom but not the one I need.
This is the first time I'm purchasing online so I am wondering if I need to enter my credit card details to see the full range of software available?
Your assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.No, you can view items to purchase even if you have nothing on your account at all.
You may wish to check with the developer forums for clarificaion on finding exactly what you want. -
I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card. How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you
Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'! -

Its just Apple's system. They won't charge you so I wouldn't worry about giving them the billing information.
