My app store dock icon has an indicator like Mails' .

There is a 1 in the indicator. What does this mean and how do I dismiss it?
I've tried opening App Store and clicking on the new offerings. This doesn't help
Thanks ~

iLife apps that came preinstalled are Mac App Store (MAS) apps and need to be updated through the MAS. They will not update through Software Update. The preinstalled apps need to be accepted into your MAS account for you to be able to update them.
First go to System Preferences/Users & Groups/Password and make sure that your MAS Apple ID is correctly entered in the location in the center of the pane. Then open the MAS and sign into your account. Go to the Purchases pane and the iLife apps are supposed to be listed there with an Accept button. After you have accepted them into your MAS account they should be eligible for any available updates.

  • Low Res Safari and App Store Dock Icons

    After upgrading Safari to v5.1.4 earlier today I've noticed that the Safari and App Store icons on the dock are pixelated, i.e., low resolution.  Has anyone else seen this problem?  The Disk Utility icon also shows the same behavior.

    Hi Ray ..
    Might be corrupted preferences...
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.dock.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For Lion:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

  • App Store dock icon not displaying updates

    I keep the App Store icon in my dock but when there is an application update I never see the red badge on the edge of the icon to tell me if I have any updates.  I did have this before I upgraded to Lion.  If I go the App Store itself, the number does display on the "Updates" icon at the top of the page.  What good is even having the dock icon if it doesn't work.  That would be like not having Mail display the number of new message in my inbox.

    Larry...
    MIght be corrupted Dock preferences.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    Move the com.apple.dock.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. See if that helped.
    FYI.. when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

  • HT5149 I'm having some weird things go on with installing FInal cut in app store the icon has turned in a question mark and app store keeps freazing

    this is the issue I am having it keeps creashing, I have older mac pro 2x 2.8 quad-core, 24 gig ram 2.5TB storage on system drive, so should be no issues there, I updated to Mavricks just so I could get this update, I need for 5k redcore epic edit. I have gone through and tried deleating the previous version, with all the application support files and cache as per guide, Its really frustrating.

    I guess you have tryed to log out and then log in again? Could help to repair permision and restart the computer. You are in the purchases section since you have deleted FCPX ?

  • The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

    The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

    Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

  • How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap on the Apple ID, and choose 'Sign Out'.
    However, logging out of the iTunes & App Store won't change the Apple ID you need to use to update an app.  It only affects what Apple ID you're using to download a new app.
    Apps always have to be updated using the Apple ID that was used to download it originally.  Go to iforgot.apple.com to reset that password.  If you cannot do so, then contact Apple Account Security, or delete the app and redownload it using an Apple ID and Password that you know.

  • HT4539 When using App store, no icons come on

  • After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

    After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

    I have posted this quite a few times and some of these suggestions have worked for others in the past. See if anything works for you.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. You can also dete apps in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Update shows in app store after it has updated

    Hi all
    i have an app that i updated in the app store. It has fully updated. But the app store is showing there is still an update to be done. In the update section the app i updated is still there its just shaded out compared to new app updates. I cant do anything to it either.

    The MAS can see apps from other volumes and drives. Do you have a backup drive connected to your Mac that has the older versioon of the app? If so, that is why the MAS is showing that the app can still be updated.

  • I cannot download app from app store the icon in blocked in pause

    i cannot download app from app store the icon in blocked in pause

    Did you check all of your pages?
    Usually the new apps will be placed on the last page.
    To check if the app was downloaded successfully in the app store instead of install or download you will see open... can you verify that it says open?

  • OSX Lion Server app hangs; dock icon shows incrementing counter

    I'm running OSX Lion (10.7.3) on a MacMini.
    since yesterday, the following concistenly happens: when I start the server app, it says "connecting to the server" next to the spinning wheel at the bottom right corner of the app window. After a few seconds, the app's dock icon shows a red counter (akin to the "unread counter" of the mail app) which is continuously being incrememted, and the (in)famous colored spinning wheel comes up as well: the server app hangs, and shows up as "Not Responding" in the Activity Monitor.
    I've checked the System Diagnostic Reports on the Console window, and it reports the Server app as hanging, followed by a few thousand lines of messages ...
    Does anybody know what goes wrong, or better, how to resolve this problem??

    I have the exact same issue. I can see from Console.app, that
    opendirectoryd: got error 1100
    Can somebody please help?

  • Updated Facebook via the Apps store.  Icon is "grayed" and will not open.  It also will not let me delete, to download again.  Anyone have this problem?

    Updated Facebook via the apps store.  Now, icon is "grayed" & will not open, nor will it let me delete it, so I can re-download.  Has anyone had this problem?

    Do you have another disk or Mac connected that has Pages '09 from the Mac App Store installed? If so, the MAS will "see" it & will report it as installed. Unmount any & all drives, including Time Machine backups, that might have Pages '09 on them & then relaunch the MAS & see if you can download it.
