  • I have upgraded to Lion, and want to upgrade my iPhoto 8.1.2, but when I try it says it was not purchased at a MAC Apple store, which it was.  Then it asks if I want to buy 9.2.3, and I say yes. It responds with Product Distribution file can't be verified

    I have upgraded to Lion, and want to upgrade my iPhoto 8.1.2, but when I try it says it was not purchased at a MAC Apple store, which it was.  Then it asks if I want to buy 9.2.3, and I say yes. It responds with Product Distribution file can't be verified. Maybe damaged or not signed.  How do I get this fixed, so I can download the new iphoto's that are available.

    How did you move your iPhoto library to the new system?  the recommended way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

    Can't download with my mac apple store again
    after typing my username and password,  message of this type will apear.
    ''We could not complete your request.
    There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)''

    Thanks.

    Quit the App Store, and then open the "Finder".
    On the "Finder" menu, click the "Go" to "Go to Folder".
    Type the "~/Library/Cookies" to open the "Cookies" folder.
    Delete the "com.apple.appstore.plist" file.
    Run the App Store again. If the error still exists, go to step 6.
    Type the "~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore" to open the "App Store" folder.
    Delete the "Cache.db" file.
    Relaunch the App Store, and then update the apps again.

  • Online Apple store question...Re: refurbished macbook

    Sorry, I wasn't sure where else to post this.
    I was looking at buying one of the refurbished macbooks from the online apple store and the other day saved it in my cart. I've noticed now that it's no longer on the website as an available item, but it is still saved on my account.
    Does anyone know if I would still be able to purchase this? I would do so within the next day or two ... just waiting to see if I can resurrect my iBook first...
    Also, I've read alot of the good accounts of buying refurbished items on these boards, but was wondering if anyone has had a BAD experience buying refurb'd mac products??

    Question 1:
    I think the refurbished MacBooks tend to come and go in the online store. Sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not. I would recommend calling your local Apple Store and asking if they have any refurbished or "refreshed" MacBooks.
    Question 2:
    I bought my MacBook used from a guy who bought it refurbished somewhere around May I think. It has the CPU whine, the squeaky hinge, the sizzling power brick, and the heatsink was replaced for the random shutdown issue.
    That said, since this is a very early MacBook, there were a lot more unresolved issues when it was purchased. If you buy a refurb now, you'll probably be fine. As an example, my friend's refurb, purchased pretty recently, works great, and hasn't had any issues at all. I'm just posting this because you'll find a lot of posts on these boards about issues with early MacBooks (refurbs or not) like this. I think at least most of the MacBook problems have been worked out.
    I'm probably going to call AppleCare tomorrow re: the hinge and power brick; in my experience they've been great about replacing parts, etc, and there are temporary fixes for the whine that make it tolerable. :P
    I have not had a "BAD" experience at all whatsoever owning this MacBook. Yes, it has some issues, but I love my MacBook (and so does everyone I know), and the great feeling of finally owning a Mac (I've been saving for who knows how long!) makes up for the annoying whine, etc. I hope this post doesn't turn you off on a refurb.

  • Is there an apple store question forum?

    Hi, i was wondering if there was any forum about the apple store itselve, becouse i can't find any and I was wondering about something with my delivery.
    Wen i ordered my ipod it said delivery date 5 days and the day after it said 2 day on site, now on my order form it says 5 days aswel, is it possible that the 2 days till shipping could apply to my order aswel now? becouse it would be strange if someone who ordered a day after me could receive his product 3 days sooner.
    I posted my question here aswel, maybe i then don't have to make another post ;o sorry if this is a "not done" thing but i'm new here and just learning how it works.
    greets and thanks, matth

    There is no forum for the Apple Store, per se, since the Discussions are intended for technical support on Apple products. In addition, there's really nothing anyone here could tell you that would be authoritative; none of us (with the exception of the Discussions Hosts who know nothing about order times) work for Apple. All anyone could say is to report their own experience which may or may not bear any resemblance to yours.
    The best thing to do if you have a question about an order from the Apple Store is to call the Store and ask. They're the only ones who can give you any definite information about the shipping time for your order.
    Regards.

  • Online Apple Store Question

    I couldn't find a forum to discuss the OAS, so I thought I'd ask here.
    When the OAS says an order will ship in "5 - 7 business days", is the business day the order was placed counted in that time frame or does the time start the NEXT business day?

    I couldn't find a forum to discuss the OAS,
    That's because there isn't one. The Discussions are for technical help, not for questions about ordering. This forum specifically is for feedback about the Discussions themselves.
    Anyway, my experience is that the day the order is placed generally isn't considered to be the first day, but in general those estimates aren't that precise. Therefore I'd suggest you contact the Apple Store and ask if they can give you a more precise shipping estimate. You can also keep an eye on your order status here:

  • EA Sports games in mac apple store please consider that idea!!!

    Thanks for your response. The "genius" told me it would work, I wonder if they will take it back? I know they usually don't return opened software, but......
    In your case, and this is only my opinion, they will take the software back, since it's obvious it would not work and they said it would. Besides, you are a very good customer now
    Anyway, what do you think is causing the glitch with the other game?
    Since you have to go back to return the software, bring it all with you, along with the computer, and show the geniuses the problem.
    You are covered for all this.
    I think once you get things purring, you will be quite happy with your new acquisition, as well as your son.
    Be very very sure to create a standard user account for your son. Keep your admin account for yourself.

  • Download from Apple Store Question re play back

    Second Generation Apple TV. all up to date software. 
    Rented movie from Apple TV  then selected "download and watch later" option.  Later came and we wanted to watch the movie and to our disappointment, when we selected play, THEN the download started, only Then, not earlier.  We live in a remote area with a slowish internet connection compared to metropolitan areas, so we plan ahead to have movies our grandchildren want to watch when they visit.  Had to abandon the entire idea since we didn't have 2 hours to wait for the movie to download. 
    How do we actually get the Apple TV from the Apple Store to "Download and Watch later"?

    If you turn the Apple TV off or use it to do something else, anything downoaded will be lost.
    If you have a slow internet connection, the best plan is to rent from a computer where the download won't be lost and can be streamed to the Apple TV at any time once fully downloaded.

  • Why isn't there an authorized mac/apple store in lebanon?

    why isn't there an authorized mac store in lebanon?
    every Apple device is triple its cost! this is really unbarable! for example an iphone 4 16g is more than $699
    I ask apple managers to try  to work on  a solution for this problem, because it doesn't do good for only me but all lebanese!
    please I urge the people responsible to help and and any reader that agrees to like or comment to make a kind of petition!

  • Secrets da vinci game in Mac Apple store

    Unable to install the game, "Secrets of Da Vinci" from the Apple Mac store in to my Mac!!

    The v10.6.7 combo update includes various MAS bug fixes... try that.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.
    Make sure and restart your Mac after the update is installed.
    You can also try contacting the app's developer for help.

  • .mac/apple mail question

    My .mac mail is no longer appearing in the desktop mail app. Cannot send or receive and folders have disappeared. Have not changed anything that I am aware of. My other account is fine. .mac mail comes in fine on iphone and ipad. When using my laptop I can get to it and send from the icould site. What would have caused this/how can I get it back? It is still listed as an account in mail preferences. Thanks.

    So, I just did the above (deleted my account). Now, it won't let me set it up again, I get this message: 
    "Logging in to the MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages."
    I tried the 2 passwords I might have originally used, neither work. I was just now able to add in my gmail account with no problem. I got continual messages the other day about passwords (asking for the password and saying it had been rejected by the mail.me.com server) out of nowhere, I hadn't gotten that before. THe same 2 passwords I tried just now, did not work then either. THen the account just went away.

  • IPhon 3GS Apple Store Question

    My wife and I are both have original iPhone 2G phones (since day 1!) and are planning on upgrading to the 3GS on the 19th. My question is regarding the online orderin process.
    When ordering online, they prompt for your phone number and personal info to determine eligibility. Everything works fine, but can I order both new 3GS's at the same time by going through the process a second time (both phones in the same cart)? Or will I need to order the first (my wife's) and place the order - then go back and palce a 2nd seperate order for my own? She wants a white phone and I want a black phone, so I wasn't sure how they handle assigning numbers, etc during this process...
    Thanks to anyone who has an idea!

    bump.
    I've run into a couple of people in my situation who have tried ordering the first phone and completing. Then proceeded to order the second seperately. No word on if it worked or not, but I'm thinking that I might try it.
    Any advice??

  • Getting Error Code 13 with Mac App Store on OS X Lion

    Hey all,
    I just updated my Macbook to Mac OS X Lion. Now whenever I go into Mac App Store, I can log into my Apple ID but cannot redownload any of my previous purchases.
    I continue to get the error 13 for any of my downloads. I've tried rebooting my Mac, logging out and back into my Apple ID on the Mac App Store.
    Nothing works. Any idea?

    I figured it out.
    I signed up for another Apple ID account within the Mac Apple Store. After completing the validation, I logged into the new account then logged out.
    Closed down the Mac App Store and relaunched it. Then I logged in using my original Apple ID with all my purchases linked to it.
    I'm now available to download items fine without error. I hope this helps others with the same issue.
