MPB Early 2011 replaced HDD. I need to purchase Lion in order for my recovery to work. Lion is not listed in the app store or my purchases.
Where can I purchase a license of lion. My MBP didn't come with any disks (open box). I have purchased Mountain Lion and can't get it's download to work either. I get "This download is currupt or has been tampered with". When I boot into recovery I have the option to install Lion but don't have it in my purchases. I just want to purchase it, unless other have a better idea.
I can imagine your frustration. I just checked the App store and I can find Mt. Lion (10.8) but not Lion (10.7).
I can see only two options: One, is to call again and be very persistent. I got the Lion download only via a redemption code from Apple support, so I have been through this process, except I did not hit the brick wall that you have. Second, if you have an Apple store near by, visit it, and explain to them your problem and get relief that way. Often face to face encounters are more effective.
Ciao.

I bought OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2 in the App Store. I have accidentally deleted it from my list of purchases.
How can I restore it in case I need to use it again?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

I have gone to the apple website and changed my password already. I logged in on settings on my phone with my new password, and a box popped up saying I needed to verify my credit card. When I go there, it says I am disabled still and I can't do anything. Then when I go to the app store, it still says my Apple ID has been disabled. Please help! I am technology impaired...

I have an iPod Touch that can only run iOS 3.1.3. I have had Zinio & PressReader (both free Apps) installed on it for many years, and subscribe to a number of Magazines and Newspapers. I had backed up the iPod in September 2012. Today, I had to restore the iOS from the backup, but saw that Zinio and PressReader had not been installed. I am aware that the iTunes store explains that the latest versions are for iOS 4.3, but I need the latest version that will work with my iPod on iOS 3.1.3.
Does anyone know how I can get hold of the earlier versions of the "ipa" files, short of asking the publishers themselves?
And, should I expect the Publishers to release the appropriate ipa to me?You aren't being left in any lurch. Your hardware is obsolete, and the software world has moved on. If you have a qualm about the matter then discuss it with the software's developers. Apple is not responsible for software they do not develop. This is technology, and you will just need to get used to it.

I am trying to figure out if iMatch is right for my family. We have 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, an iPod Touch, and a few PCs. One PC has our music library on it in iTunes. We want to all share from the library with our own separate devices. If we subscribe to iMatch, does everyone need to use the same ID to access the library? Does the main PC with library need to remain on constantly for other devices to gain access? And my daughter has the iPod and we would like to control the content she is able to access, is this possible with iMatch? Thanks
You will all need to use the same id that you subscribe to iTunes Match with (that will need to be the account that is signed into on the devices/computers that you want to access the music from), but your computer doesn't need to remain on - when you subscribe your library is uploaded from that computer to the cloud, so it only needs to be 'on' then, when it's finished uploading it will be accessible from the cloud on your devices/computers via your internet connection.

I need an iPad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system uses only internet explorer. Why does Atomic no longer sell the full verison. What web browser can I use?
Probably none. It's very possible that the reason the MLS required Internet Explorer is that they use technologies (such as Active-X) that are proprietary to Microsoft and so would not be available from the iPad even if a browser will report itself as being Internet Explorer.
You can try iCab Mobile, though, and see if it will work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
It has the ability to identify itself as other browsers, so if the site is only blocking other browsers and not depending on IE's technology, iCab might work. There could be problems, though, even if the site lets you in.
Hope this helps. -
Changed my apple I'd (added email address). Now every time I pull up the apps to upgrade it shows my old I'd and I can't access any upgrades. I can buy new apps with my new I'd but I still can't upgrade any of my present (already purchased)apps
Content purchased with an Apple ID are permanently tied to that Apple ID.
Did you change the email address or create a new one?
If the former, simply sign out and sign back in with the correct credentials.
If the later, simply provide the password for the correct account. -
I have V 5.0 but the App Store says it has 5.2.2 and that it's installed. Any ideas why I cannot open the document, please?
When you updated to Mavericks and qualified for the free iWork apps and then installed them, the old iWork apps were rounded up and put into a folder name iWork' 09 and the three new versions of the apps are scattered in the apps folder in alphabetical order.

I need an upgrade to iphoto, but it wasn't purchased at the apps store
Do I need to start over with a new download of Iphoto 11 if it wasn't purchased from the apps store. Do I save any money from an upgrade as opposed to buying a new license from the app store
Hi ...
If you installed iPhoto as part of the iLife bundled software, no.
By the way, any updates from iLife bundled software, iPhoto, GarageBand, and iMovie are not downloaded from the App Store.
Open System Preferences > Software Update then select the Scheduled Check tab.
You can check for updates by clicking Check Now
If you want updates to download automatically, click the pop up menu to select how often you want Software Update to check for updates. (I use Daily) and select: Download updates automatically. You will be notified when the updates are ready to be installed. -

After replacing the logic board in my Macbook Pro it will no longer connect to the App Store.
I recently had to replace the logic board in my early 11 Macbook Pro (first gen i7). With the release of Yosemite just a few weeks away I am trying to update from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I'm afraid if I don't after this update it will become much harder. I always lived by the rule if it ain't broke and for a long time Snow Leopard worked very well for what I needed to do. All my software is current and there are no updates pending. All my Keychain Access System Roots Certificates are good and I have no problems getting into iTunes. I thought it might be something on Apples end but after 36 hours it's still the same problem. When I try to open the App Store I get this:
Any ideas. I don't use the App Store that much but until this I had never had this problem before.
Thanks for the help.

I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html
