Mac App Store- Wish List

Apple,
It would be useful to add an option to put apps into a wish list, either for later purchase or for future reference. Often found an app of interest but wanted to come back at a later date to look again, with a wish list or something similar I think people would find the app store that little more friendly could also increase app sales.

Yes, a number of folks have posted this wish for a wish list.

How to use the App Store wish list

I Can't figure out how to use the App Store wish list...if anybody can answer this for me I would love that.

Hi dlissor,
The following article describes the Wish List and how to use it -

App Store Wish List (iOS 7)

I have several apps on my app store wish list that I want to get when they go on sale. Does the app store send you any kind of notification (system notification or email) when a wish list app's price changes

No, there aren't ant settings or notifications to tell you if any item in your wish list is reduced in price. You could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

App Store Wish List

Is there an option to add an app to the wish list on the iPad as there is on the iPhone?

You are signed into your account on your iPad ? On paid-for apps that I don't own I see the following via the share icon :

Can I add my existing, licensed apps to my list of 'Purchases' on the Mac App Store so I don't have to buy them twice?

Hello,
I was wondering if I could add my existing, licensed apps to the list of app 'Purchases' that I have on the Mac App Store.
The reason for this is that I recently suffered the inevitable hard disk failure and I had to rebuild my MacBook Pro from scratch (with the help of Time Machine and Migration Assistant, etc.). As usual, I hadn't really maintained my MBP for quite a while and things sort of got away from me, in terms of data, apps, preferences, permissions, users (my personal account, my wife's account, my old work account...), etc.
So I wanted to rebuild my MBP on a clean slate. I like having the ability to quickly download and install just the right apps that I "really" need from MAS safe in the knowledge that:
they are there (assuming they're still available through MAS) with a full description of what they do and when I bought them, etc.
they are going to be in the most up-to-date version,
I'll be able to download and install them cleanly with no corruption from years of multiple user preference changes and permissions, etc.
that they will be managed and maintained (updated) through the same mechanism,
so much more.
The benefits of having apps from MAS are easy to see when compared to going through my downloads folder and emails looking for the latest installers, working out what they're for in the first place, finding the license key in some forgotten e-mail, etc.
I am aware that I can build a clean machine and then restore just the right apps in their most up-to-date version as I had them on my backups. The one thing to say about that is that the apps may have been used and abused once too many times and their preferences, etc. may not be in the most desirable form. It's just not as elegant as the MAS solution.
I realise that not all apps, app versions, or app vendors, are available through MAS. But I still have a fair few apps currently available on MAS that were bought prior to the existence of MAS, prior to them becoming available on MAS, or were bought directly for some other reason (by mistake).
So I wondered if there was any way I could convert my legitimate licenses from simply a direct purchase to one through MAS and have those apps listed under my 'Purchases' list. It would reduce the amount of work I'd have to do, not only to rebuild my machine but also to maintain it.
I cannot find any reference or way of having this work the way I would like it to. But I was hoping that some Apple guru would enlighten me.
I have thought about the possible mechanisms something like this would need to work and I must admit I see some not insurmountable issues (not as much technical as legal or possibly logistical). I realise that MAS is a service in its own right and as such has its own Terms, Conditions and Licensing that may not be compatible with the licenses that I already have. I also realise that when I purchase an app from MAS that I'm paying for the entire service including updates and use on multiple machines that I may own, etc. Obviously I do not want to pay the full purchase cost again for the same app twice, but I am willing to pay a small conversion/upgrade fee to have it managed as part of my 'Purchases' on MAS. Think of it in the same terms as iTunes works. I can purchase music, etc. but I can also add my own CD collection and have it managed by iTunes and store it in the cloud should anything go wrong with my local machine, etc.
So if this is currently not possible, then for the Apple MAS product managers out there, consider this as a suggestion/feedback. I'd be happy to discuss my thoughts in more detail about not only how to achieve this for now but also for the future when you may add existing applications to MAS that people may have previously bought direct and would like to have managed through MAS going forward. The benefits to the users are hopefully clear, but from Apple's perspective I hope that you can see the advantages too, commercially, etc.
PS: I apologise for the wordiness of my query and overuse of 'etc.', etc.

Can I add my existing, licensed apps to my list of 'Purchases' on the Mac App Store so I don't have to buy them twice?
No. Only apps purchased from the App Store can be re downloaded for free including updates.

How do I stop Mac App Store apps listing as "Accept" rather than the purchase price?

Hi there,
I'm attempting to buy iPhoto '11 from the Mac App Store but it lists as "Accept" rather than the purchase price.
When I click on Accept a message pops up saying "These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID: These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications."
The pop-up gives the option to hit OK and there are no other buttons.
iPhoto '11 is not in my purchases list. I have never bought it before. I am using a second hand Mac and I suspect the previous owner may have downloaded iPhoto but it is no longer installed anywhere on the system and I am the sole user of it. There are no other accounts on this Mac and it looks like it was reformatted back to scratch before I bought it.
The problem is I cannot find any way to reset the "Accept" option so I can actually purchase the App.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

i also am having this EXACT same problem and alot of others seem to be too? i wonder what is going on here! if anyone from apple reads this, maybe it is something you can look into? My mac did not come with a start up disk and i accidently deleted the iphoto app... i have 2 apple I.Ds but i dont use the one originally registered. i am aware i will have to buy the app again in this case so please let me buy iPhoto please! and thanks!

My country is not listed in the Mac app store and iTunes?

My country is not listed in the Mac app store or iTunes. and yes ive tried putting in false information like 'I live in the USA, NY' but whenever i try buying something it says "Your credit card information does not match your banks records, Please enter a US billing card.. and such. Because of this i have no choice but to use what you call 'pirated' applications. Any help fellow mac users?

Sorry, but it's Apple's policy...
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

If you go to System Preferences > Network do you see other networks listed on the left panel? Is the lock in the lower left corner closed? If not, highlight your network, then close the lock so you block other networks.

Mac app store, can't get rid of an app that I did not buy and it's listed under an unknown Apple ID

Hello guys, I have a very rare issue with my Mac App Store application.
Whenever I want to make an update of a piece of software that I've bought, Angry Birds apears as if I had it, when I haven't.
The thing is, I want angry birds to desappear from my updates list taking in account that it does not belong to me.
Beforehand very much

Iphoto disappeared from purchased list (Mac App Store)

I accidentally deleted the Iphoto from the purchased list of the Mac App Store, and now I can`t find a way to recover it!
Please, how can I recover the iPhoto App back to the purchased list?
Weirdo thing is, even with the App removed from the list, I can still use the iPhoto on my Mac. It is still installed, but I`m affraid not receiving news updates from the Mac App Store.
Thanks in advance,

In the App Store application… go to the Store menu, select View My Account, sign in and there's a link for Hidden Purchases you can click to unhide any hidden purchases.

View list of Mac App store apps on windows

I'm going to be buying the new iMac when it comes out, but until then I was hoping that there was a way to view which apps are on the mac app store. Is there a website anywhere that will allow me to browse the store on a pc computer?
Figure not but thought I'd ask.
Thanks.

Sorry no, but you can get an idea from a Google search here.

You can permanently delete from the list of those that purchased we are not interested? The mac app store?

Hello, you present all applications, often useless toys or free appthat you bought to try but then once you have deleted? In Mac app store in the "Purchased" remain very pretty after a little practice ...you can not delete those that we really sure that will not be restoring your mac? because otherwise it becomes a long line ofuseless and idiotic and outdated app that does not use anymore.
I apologize for my English is not perfect.
thank you very much

Updates don't appear in mac app store

Hi, I have a problem with the mac app store. I enter to it and in updates it says that I haven't updates. But I have a lot of apps to update... I had this problem time before but with the terminal and some codes I could repair. But now I can't find this method. I have a MacBook Air (13 inc, mid 2013) with Yosemite 10.10.1
I have tried this method but don't work:
Logout, close app store, open app store and loggin with my account.
- Go to the Spotlight system preferences.
         - Go to the Privacy tab.
         - Add your boot drive ("Macintosh HD") to the privacy list and close the preferences.
         - Open the preferences again and remove your hard drive from the list.
         - Reboot the system.
     3. Try resetting the Mac App Store.
     - Enable the debug menu and restart the Mac App Store: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
   - Choose the Reset Application option and restart the Mac App Store.
     4. Purge the Caches:
     rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
     rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
     rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
     rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
     rm ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
     5. Changing my region to USA and reset.
So I need a solution...
Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
