Lion purchase doesn't show in app store

When Lion was released I purcased it from the App Store. But it doesn't show in my "Purchases" area. What's up with that? Is it possibly one doesn't need it with the Recovery HD created during install? It gives one the feeling of not having a net under you when you're on the tight wire. I did purchase the Lion on a thumb drive a while back, so I'm not without the ability to reinstall. Just curious as to why it's not in my App Store purchases.

If you're using the same AppleID to login, it should be there. If not, contact the App Store. For what it's worth, your safety net is to make a copy of Lion's installer app after downloading so you don't have to waste time and resources DLing it again, since the dumb installer deletes itself from /Applications as part of its install routine. Alternatively, extract the InstallESD.dmg file from the USB stick, mount it, restore it to a 10 GB partition, and use that. Much faster than any USB method.

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 which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Lock Screen 2 ? i purchase this app bur it doesn't show in App Store

hello, i purchase this amp Lock Screen 2 and it doesn't show in my app strore, it says The item you requested is not currently available in Portuguese shop, but is available in Brazilian Store. Click Change Store to view this item. i did already change store but it doesnt do nothing , can someone help me please
http://lockscreenapplication.blogspot.pt

I too purchased this Lock Screen 2 app 3 years ago. I was happy using it every day.
Then I bought a new mac and I wanted to download again this app. But doesn't show on MacAppStore anymore.
I think if even the app isn't on the market anymore not allowing further purchase, Apple should make the purchased apps available to download again.
Who can help me with this?

Purchased items not showing in App Store - Problem is BACK

I post a question earlier, the problem seemed solved, but it is back agin, how frustrating !! here it is the story
I am using iPad 3rd generation, iOS6.0.1. I just recently restored it due to a few crashes and shut down.
I can get most of my app back from restoration, but I can't see any items purchased in App Store in Purchased tab. There is nothing, I tried many steps suggested in the forum, (sign out, shut off, sign back, update all info in my apple ID, etc.) but none of them seems to work.
Later...
Problem solved... The difference is I signed back in not in Setting -> iTunes & App Store, but directly open App Store, and sign in at pop up windown. the order of sign in seems "stupid", it doesn't make sense no matter how you sign in to app store, but it does make the difference. Sigh....
Now...
Problem is back again... I have no clue what's going on here with iTune and App Store... thing seems screw pretty bad... any one can help??
Thanks a lot
H

Mountain Lion (purchased) cannot be downloaded via App Store. Help!

I bought Mountain Lion via the App Store, and now I cannot re-download this now that Mavericks has launched. It is "not available in the US App Store," apparently.
I would like access to the software I purchased. How are other people fetching their (download-only) software they purchased? While the whole innovation of central stores IS THAT APPLE KEEPS MY PURCHASED SOFTWARE, if this is not the case, I'll need to keep local copies, and need advice on how to fetch my purchased software.

I had a shockingly, unacceptably bad experience today at the local Apple Store over this issue. Upsetting because uniform build quality and good service is what differentiates Apple from Dell, and creates the extra hardware expense.
For others who are having this issue:
Apparently Apple Stores do not have, or have access to, the "non-slipstreamed" (e.g. Universal) version of the OS X Mountain Lion installer that you and I paid for in the App Store.
If pressed, the only solution given is to create a backup disk (or boot-up USB stick) from Control-R on startup.
Said solution, however, will generate a boot image that is contingent and dependent upon the hardware on which it was created. Therefore, if you move from a Mac Mini platform to a laptop, and try to install the Operating System--which you have paid for--from this USB stick, you might not be able to boot the system.
The recourse given is to "call 1800-My-Apple," which may or may not have a charge associated with it.
Oh, and #5: Apple Store employees (not the Genius) may tell you you are violating copyright when in fact you are taking an action protected under EULA and Fair Use provisions (e.g. backup copy, one-copy-for-one-computer).
All in all, this has soured me on my upcoming Apple hardware purchase. LUCKILY for me, I might have found a copy of my Install OS X Mountain Lionpackage. Good thing I did not rely upon digital curation to maintain my digital purchase.
Lessons?
Make a copy of everything you purchase via the App Store. Even if it's a curated store, apparently there is no guarantee that your purchased software is retained.
Maintain multiple backups.
Be very, very careful when moving across hardware platforms with a Command-R-generated boot drive. Apparently this can create chaos. Silly me, I'd have thought the "full" version of the installer would be used when creating a boot disk via starting up in rescue mode.

I purchased bioshock 2 on the app store on my macbook pro (running lion) and it shows 'an error has occured' every time I try to download the app. How do I install it properly, I have restarted my mac and reset the app on the debug menu?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

To recover Mountain Lion to your purchases, open App Store > Featured > Account (under Quick Links) > Show hidden purchases, and show OS X Mountain Lion. Finally, it will appear on Purchases tab

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

Tried out some apps, then deleted them. They still show in App Store/iPad Apps/Purchased section. How to delete from there?

You can't currently permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear on the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. As your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do the hiding via your computer's iTunes, it doesn't currently work directly on iOS 6 devices

I have 10.5.8 and i'd like to update to Lion but I haven't the app store avaiable to my sistem and I can find the atualization. At the software update doesn't have any atualization... I updated my iphone4 to IOS5 and having problems to use ICloud

As Retired Engineer indicated, you will need to install Snow Leopard first. After you install Snow Leopard, you need to go into Software Update and perform the updates. 10.6.6 will install the App Store. You should continue to update to 10.6.8 before purchasing and installing Lion from the App Store.
Be sure your machine meets the minimum requirements. Basically, any Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or later and at least 2GB of RAM (but 4 is highly recommended). If you have a first generation MacBook Pro with a Core Duo, you will not be able to upgrade to Lion.

HT2404 Mountain Lion will not download through the apps store. It shows up in Launchpad, but when the screensaver goes on and I enter my password and my desktop shows up, it has disappeared from launchpad. I have set my energy saver controls appropriate

Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store. It has been purchased and redeemed. I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow. I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again). When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad. I have tried this several times. I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air. I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again. Same results. Anyone?

Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
But, hey, who am I to argue with your tech person? Please, don't let me sway your opinion. How about a visit to:
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

Hi Tahan007,
Check these threads out:
Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Cannot connect to App Store since 10.8.1
why is my app store sign in saying connection failed?
Also if you're running any anti-virus SW, you might try temporarily disabling it

When did you publish to store? It might just be a matter of waiting for it to show up:

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Mountain lion will not download from the app store. what do I do?

Please help. Purchaced mountain lion upgrade. shows up app store under purchased. click on download. Nothing happens....My iMac meets all system requirements. Stuck in appland. Also, I have heard bad things about mountain lion. should I even install? Or can I bypass and go to OS X Mavericks? Confused & afraid now...

If you meet these requirements you can upgrade directly to Mavericks: OS X Mavericks: System Requirements. However, before upgrading I would check the compatability of your 3rd party application at RoaringApps - Application compatibility and feature support for OS X and iOS.
If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.
