Non app store items not showing up in launchpad

Non-App store apps located in the Applications folder are not showing up in Launchpad (Example: Pixelmator).

There's more than one page to Launchpad.  It seems that anything you install on your own will go to page 2 or later.  You can easily move them to the first page by draggin them around.

  • How to upgrade to aperture 3.5 when the app store does not show the update. I did buy aperture 3 on DVD not thru the app store. what to do?

    I can not open aperture databases anymore as osx10.9 keeps telling me i have opened it with a newer version, which i have not but i understand from other discussions that thru the upgrade of iphoto osx automatically thinks that you have opened with aperture 3.5. the app store does not show me the update as i have not purchased the program thru the app store but on dvd. what to do?

    If you are running MacOS X 10.9 and Aperture is installed in your Applications folder and simply called Aperture, not Apertre 3 or something, the AppStore should be showing you the update.
    Have you already updated to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page  Aperture 3.4.5?
    Try to update manually to 3.4.5 and then reboot and sign again into the AppStore with your AppleID and look at the Update page.
    For some forum members it helped to set the main system language to English U.S. to make the update finally show.

  • How do I register non-app store items?

    I have added iWork and Micromat TechTool 6 amd Micromat Checkmate 1.0.4 to my OS10.8.4 via DVD's. The App Store is not allowing upgrades to be opened. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't register non-Mac App Store applications onto the Mac App Store. Apple doesn't allow you to turn DVD versions into Mac App Store versions (they are the same version but with a few differences related to updates and licenses).
    Also, Micromat TechTool and Micromat Checkmate are not available in the Mac App Store, so it's impossible to register them

  • Itunes app store is not showing screen shots (windows 7)

    Hi,
    Over the last few weeks it seems the app store isn't showing screen shots when i click to see more info about the app.  I've been looking at ipad apps, sometimes i get some screen shots but mostly i dont. I've read a thread about resetting the cache in preferences but this didn't work.
    Its really harsh not being able to see screen shots before you purchase.
    Any ideas!?
    Thanks!!!!

    Having the same issue as OP.  iPad only apps don't show any screen shots in iTunes or on the Web, but i see them on iTunes Connect.  Mac App Store applications are showing their screen shots just fine as are iPhone apps.
    Does this have something to do with widescreen on iPad, retina display??  We used high quality screen shots for our applications, the best quality the developers guide mentions.
    We double checked the Developers Reference Guide for specifications on screen shots and tried 3 of the suggested formats(JPEG, TIFF, PNG) with reso 1024x768 px but nothing has changed since thursday (june 23rd) last week. 
    0%       iPad applications show screen shots on the iTunes store for me as I write this.
    100%   iPhone applications show screen shots.
    100%   Mac App Store show screen shots...
    Anyone have any more to add? suggestions?
    I have already entered a bug report for this.
    Here's a few things that have worked for others althought they have not worked for me.  These are pulled from this community forum.

    I tried doing
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Reset cache
    but that didn't work for me even with restarting iTunes afterward.
    However, here's what did fix the problem. Launch
    /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences
    Under the 'General' tab click both of the "Restore Defaults" buttons.
    Changes take effect after re-launching iTunes.

    iTunes uses the same Web Engine as Safari to display the store, so the Safari update could be the issue.
    Try running Repair Permissions, it is in the Disk Utility software that is in your Utilities folder.

  • I have one app that does not show up in Launchpad

    I have one app, the game Diablo II, that still shows up in my Applications folder as it always has but does not show up in Launchpad when I pull that up in Lion.  All of my other apps are there in Launchpad... but not this one.  Any idea how I make an app that I can see in my Applications folder show up in launchpad also?

    If the icon exists on your screen, just do a long press on that icon and when the small X appears on top of the app, press it and it will delete it.  As long as this is not an Apple app, since those cannot be deleted.

  • Aperture purchased in app store does not show in purchased list.

      It shows as INSTALLED if looking at the app on it's individual page, but can't redownload it when it is not in the purchased list.  How do I fix this?
    It crashes on launch and I can't reinstall it.  If I move the app to the trash, the indivual page shows the purchase price instead of INSTALLED.  The other apps I have purchased show on the purchased page.

    Well this is getting very intriguing now. Unfortunately I can't see your computer's screen to verify it's not something simple... ie just not seeing the item.
    If what you say is true, then this may be something engineering may want to look at. Whatever the case, let's contact iTS and start some correspondance with an advior for now.

  • App Store Updates not showing

    I'm having a problem with the App Store not showing me updates that are available.  I noticed this just now when using iPhoto, it told me there was an update but the App Store said that no updates were available.
    I fixed that by downloading the update from Apple's support site.  But then I got worried if I'd missed anything else.  My normal account doesn't have admin rights, so I logged in with one that does and then there are some updates waiting, including some security fixes.
    So is this by design?  If I check for Software Updates as a user without admin rights should nothing appear?  Or do I need to change a setting somewhere.
    I'm on Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Well, I'm not sure if this would be the case here, but if you have the "automatically check for updates" checked in SU Pref Pane as well as the subcategories, it will automatically download and install updates (I'm guessing that this would mean there wouldn't be a notification since it is being installed "behind the scenes" as it were).
    And, the Pref Pane now has this at the top "SU keeps OS X and apps from MAS up to date" - that also indicates (to me) that it'll all be done automatically. So this may be Apple's planned and intentional behavior?
    My initial post here was to show that although my apps were not purchased from MAS, I am still able to download updates from MAS. On the other hand, I do not know if there is a difference in notification and/or download methods on MAS vs. Non-MAS apps (despite what the SU Pref Pane header states).
    That is exactly what happened.  Just got off the phone w/AC.  They directed me to SU Pref Pane.  Missing Manual nor the OS Help Menu makes no mention of SU Pref Pane!  Anywho, I changed the settings.  So hopefully, I should be able to start getting notifications of all updates.  The box I kept enabled was the Automatically check for updates.  I unchecked all the rest of them. 
    Hopefully, this will help the OP too. 

  • TS1702 Updates in App Store is not showing the Apps list

    After updating iOS to 6.1 in my iPhone 4s, while tapping 'Updates' in App Store, it is not showing the Apps list, though over the icon it is showing that 11 Apps has got Updates available.

    hi
    i've had your same proble,
    you have to go on settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign out.
    after this restart your device:
    Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home buttonat the bottom center of the face at the same time.
    Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
    Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
    ok, now go to settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign in again
    ... for me it worked
    bye bye let me know if it works even for you!

  • App Store item not purchased?

    Hey I downloaded boost 2 some time ago when it was free now it's paid and it doesn't allow me to download it? I mean it should be in the purchased. That's the only game that it doesn't allow me to download when I hav previously downloaded it. It wants me to purchase again? How do I fix this?

    You are logged in with the same account that you bought it with (and it's not the 'lite' version that you had previously downloaded ?), you haven't changed countries since buying it, and it's the same game (e.g. it hasn't changed developer and/or the version that you originally had has been removed and replaced with a new app) ? If it's not showing in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad then check to see if you've hidden it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support. And

  • App Store does not show download status.

    Hi There,
    in need a bit of help.. apparently, the App store on my macbook pro does not sure any download status for the apps i download. However, i do see a growing bar on my dock for the app i am downloading.
    Is there any way i can get it to show?

    If you are currently downloading any app and you just lost the status bar from the launchpad which shows apps on your mac with a large overlaying icon app, just try to download any free app (games or utility etc) from the app store and install it, it will bring you back to the window of the launchpad where you can see the status of your downloads....you will notice that I was downloading the Mavericks OS but the download status wont show up on the app store..you will see the status instead on the launchpad, I am using Lion 10.7.5 so I do not have the launchpad icon on my DOCK, maybe I am also just missing the shortcut to launch it. I just discovered that when you install another app from the app store it will bring you this window back, by clicking on the currently downloading app, it will pause the download and will proceed with the other app to finish its process....
    I hope this would help.....by the way, with my macbook pro 10.8.5, download status is present on the app store when I was downloading the Mavericks a while ago....

  • Mac App Store will not show 3.2.2 as an available update

    I upgraded to Lion last week, but Aperture 3.2.2 is not showing up as an available update.  Will I be stuck with 3.1.3 until Apple releases the next update?  I'm not sure what to do.
    Thinking out loud...could the Mac App Store may be confused about what version of Aperture I'm using?  I downloaded Lion on the first day that it was available, but I didn't install it because I had some Rosetta applications.  In the interim from when I downloaded Lion and installed it, I think Aperture was updated to 3.1.3. Is there a way to reset the Mac App Store so that it will rescan my apps for available updates?

    Is Aperture installed in the system Application folder as Aperture (noting else no Aperture3.1.3 or anything like that)
    Did you buy 3 from the App Store? Are you logging in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture?
    In the App Store in the Purchases tab what is listed?
    If all the above is OK then you could just remove Aperture from the Application folder (drag it to the Desktop) and then go to the App Store. It should allow you to download the app again and will give you the latest version.

  • OS X Mavericks - iTunes/app store account not showing past purchases

    Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks (the install crashed and corrupted my HD so had to do a clean install), the app store and itunes store past purchases are not showing, or in the case of the itunes store it shows that there are 331 purchases but the list is blank and there is no option to restore/download.

    Hey there yvrbill,
    It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID in iTunes but when you try and download your previous purchases the list is empty.
    I want to recommend signing out of the iTunes store, then restart your computer.
    To sign in to or out of the iTunes Store:
    In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
    From: Sign in or out of the iTunes Store
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1640
    After restarting your computer try to download your previous purchases again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities,
    All the very best,
    Sterling
