Problem with Resuming and Installing Apps Purchased using Mac App Store

Recently I have been trying to download and install AeroFly FS which I purchased from Mac App Store (17GB) and with my internet connection it take some 4-5 days to download that.
I have 2 problems.
1) Resume download don't work if I happen to reboot my macbook pro for some reason after pausing the download before the reboot. When I reboot and try resuming the download... the resume button changes to install, and the download start afresh, I technically lost all my previous downloaded data.
2) The app was 17GB ( I guess thats the installer), and I had some 25GB left after the download completed. But it gave an error saying while installing that not much disk space. So I moved/deleted many item on my drive and got the disk space to some 37GB Free. But it was still giving the same error of not much disk space.
So, I thought the new avaialable diskspace was not accounted for. So, I rebooted the macbook. And to my agony, I found the roboot wiped out the 17GB installer I managed to download from Mac App Store.
So, far i have wasted almost more than a week trying to download and install this app. Now, I am re-downloading it for the third time.
Any Help will be highly appreciated.
Any Tips on how I can move the installer once it sdownloaded to my external HDD, and where can i find this installer which App store downloads?
Regards,
Sapam

Hi ...
37GB of free space is not enough.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 20% free disk space.

    Right click on your iPad's name in the iTunes app on your computer and choose to transfer purchases. That should transfer anything that you have bought with the App Store app on the iPad to the iTunes app on your computer.

    Open the App Store application - either from the Apple menu or in your Applications folder.
    If you want to purchase apps other than those from the App Store, you'll just have to Google for the website.

  • Problems with Retrospect and too scared to use TM

    I upgraded to Leopard on both my PB and my G5 a few weeks ago and need to get back in the swing of backing things up. On my G5 I have 2 internal drives - a Boot drive with the OS and applications and a User drive with User data. On 10.4.x I used Retrospect to backup my User drive 3 times a week doing just a Duplicate and I would clone my Boot drive with CCC usually before any update so I always had a bootable drive just in case (all to an external drive with 2 partitions). On my PB I would use CCC once a week to an external drive.
    With Leopard, I was hoping to use TM so I wouldn't need to "worry" about backing things up. However, after reading all the horror stories in this forum, I decided to use Retrospect instead, at least on my G5. So, I got the updated version of Retrospect and set about using it in the same manner I had on 10.4.x. For what ever reason, though, Retrospect will NOT do a duplicate properly and ALWAYS wants to completely delete the backup drive contents before doing the duplication! So what should only take minutes to copy/delete changed items is taking a whole lot longer and shouldn't be happening in the first place. I have no idea why this is happening and nobody in the EMC forums seems to know either, but there are others reporting the same problem.
    What the heck is Leopard doing differently than 10.4.x that would cause this? Could it be that I have the backup drive placed in the Privacy section of Spotlight so the contents don't show up in a search along with my internal? This is how I did things on 10.4.x, however.
    As for my PB, I'm guessing that CCC is still going to be the best option since TM doesn't make a bootable clone and I have no idea if ALL my data would actually be there in case of disaster. Right?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Dump retrospect. I have fought with them on fixing backup errors to no avail. Deja Vu was also crap and I quit using it as well.
    I was using carbon copy cloner. There is a new version for Leopard I just installed today but haven't tried yet because I'm waiting on the phone to get through to apple support. (2 months remaining... then what?) Isn't leopard suppose to install ilife 08? Still waiting on the phone for them to answer.
    I tried using disk utility to restore to an external drive but it said the process would take 2 days for 80gb of data. So I tried carbon copy cloner (old version) and it crapped out because it was installed for panther os. So now the new version to try out.
    What's the point with Time Machine? It won't back up individual files from file vault accounts which means having to backup the entire user directory anyways so why not just clone the drive? I would have thought that apple would have known to make is user friendly with file vault so it backs up changed files in an encrypted format. Everytime I have to turn on or off file vault is screws up zinio reader. Now I have to go back to turning file vault off so I can restore individual files?
    Let's hope there's better updates to resolve these issues.

  • Problems with capturing and printing-to-tape using FCP4

    Having trouble logging footage and printing to video using FCP4.
    1) When we log-in footage (capture) it constantly stops and says, "dropped frames". This usually happens after 10-15 minutes of logging-in footage. Why is this happening??
    2) When we Print-To-Tape, it will suddenly stop! Sometimes it will continue Printing-To-Tape, but without audio!
    Is this a common problem? Should we re-install FCP4?
    We've done all the software updates, but we're still experiencing these problems. We've also cleared up our computer by deleting old FCP4 projects.
    We have a G4 with three internal Hard Drives with approx 180GB each. We're using the Sony DSR-11 as our Mini-DV deck.
    Help!!!!

    We don't have Virex or Norton software in the machine. We have Disk Warrior which was helpful in the past with other problems. Should I run another check using Disk Warrior?
    We only have one machine which has three internal drives. We've experienced the same problems using each of the drives.
    We do have some video stored in the system drive, but normally we don't use that drive. The system drive currently has 70GB availble, as do each of the other internal drives.
    We have updated our FCP to 4.5, but should we trying re-installing it?

  • Problem with discdrive and installing snow leopard

    Frustration and desperation has settled in! Lets see if i can get some good help from fellow Apple users!
    Ok this is the problem:
    A few days ago my computer started to crash almost all programs on my MacBook. I would try to get get into Safari for example and it would SLOWLY start up and then after a few seconds into the prgram it give me the error message "This application Safari quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are NOT affected. Click to reopen..." Well again it does that with almost all my programs!
    So i took it to the Genius Bar in Munich Germany! (im currently here for business) There the representative of apple actually took my MacBook to the back, checked it for any HD damage and looked at it "under the hub", however couldnt find anything wrong with it physically. So he suggested to backup my HD just reinstall Mac OS X again. I asked him for the new Snow Leopard since i didnt have my startup CD there!
    Well im at home now and trying to install the System. However everytime i put the CD in it TRIES to start it up (up to 3 times) and then ejects it. Sometimes even it DOES load it up but then it would tell me to install the new system i would have to restart the computer and when i do that the same problem (3 upstart attempts then ejection) happens!!
    Now can anyone tell me why this is happening?! On a side note i also tried insert another DVD and CD and BOTH work just fine! I had a similar problem with a previous DVD b4 but the problem was irratic.. meaning sometimes it worked sometimes it doesnt! Any suggestions or do i need a new Discdrive?!

    If your MacBook is under warranty have them check the DVD drive. They replaced my DVD drive because it was doing the same thing. Try the following and see if it helps.

  • Problems with Erase and Install 10.6.4

    We were able to upgrade to 10.6.4 and run Time Machine. Then the errors started, like losing access to iPhoto Library and then Mail accounts and Apple was able to help. We have four accounts, Mom and the kids. And suddenly after 90 days the computer starting running really slow, and then stopped. On re-boot nothing starts. So went back to Install disk and Disk Utility only to find the only option is Erase and Install...totally un-bootable. Since we had a recent Time Machine back-up agreed and erased the HD. Then re-started with Install Disk...it gets halfway into it and then gives Error box and says unable to load some support files, and says to re-start. Well I am in the midst of 4 th attempt with no success, always the same error. Any ideas or am I off to the Apple Store AGAIN?!

    I keep working at this. I tried to install 10.4 that came with the iMac and it too stops and says it can't finish the install. Ran 10.6.4 Install and same error. So I ran the same install and made sure that it erased and 'Journaled' the HD, ran disk repair and it said all was well. Ran Install and again stopped at 24 minutes till complete with "Unable to Install all support files", ran Disk repair on re-boot, said a node was not erased, so when I ran repair disk, it listed a different node as not erased but said it was repaired. This time I ran custom Install and de-selected all the languages we don't use and deselected 'X11' (needed to run Windows but we don't do that). And now am trying again. DiskWarrior says the Hard Drive is ok, but as there is no system installed it is unable to re-build a non-existent directory. I have also signed in to our wireless network in the obviously mistaken hope that it could 'find' the files needed but I gather I am asking too much. So much for the much touted Snow Leopard OS...I can hardly wait for 'Lion' next

  • Problem with Archive and Install - Second disc won't complete

    I'm trying to run an archive and install for my iMac, OS 10.4.11. I get through the first disc fine, but after I put in the 2nd install disc, it gets all the way to the "finishing installation" and then won't move past "running GarageBand Demo Songs Installer Script". it says less than a minute remaining, and the downloading bar is swirling, but there is nothing happening and it hangs here for hours. I've tried reinstalling, but it will only ask me to load the 2nd disk again, and the same thing happens over and over. I even tried a different install disc 2, and the same thing happened. Is there a way to push past this, or start the entire archive and install again? when i reboot to the disc drive with the 1st install disk, it ask me to put in the 2nd disc.
    This all started because iTunes was acting up after I got an ipod touch, no prior problems with the computer. Can anyone help?

    I've seen this reported before. What some have had some success with is to do a custom install so the second disk is not needed. See BDAqua's tip to someone with the same issue in the Tiger forum.

  • HT3910 Problems with Erase and Install?

    I followed instructions from the article "HT3910: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install." However, at the end of step 2, where it says I should see a message saying 'Installation Successful', my Macbook Pro tells me that the installation failed. I have erased all the contents off of Macintosh HD and have attempted to go through the install step several times with the same results. What could possibly be wrong?

  • Continuing problems with Matrox and Premier Pro CS5.5 Mac

    What is wrong with Adobe and Matrox? Can't they get it together! Ever since switching from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premier Pro 5 and then 5.5 I have been having problems playing back footage from Premier through the Matrox Mini X02 box and then HDMI into a Sony HD monitor. No matter what I do with installs and re installs, the problem persists. The problem is that the Matrox software/hardware seems incapable of providing one simple little thing...playing back my Premier CS 5.5  1920 timeline into my Sony TV. The sound stutters and stops, the playback freezes and Premier won't start again until I reboot my Mac. Sometimes I have to repair disk permissions to get Premier to work again.  My hardware should be adequate. I have a MacPro 3.1 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running in 64 bit mode under OS X 10.6.8, with 20 GB of RAM and a NVidia Quadpro FX4800 video card. I am running a Raid drive for the video.
    Now I know that Adobe is trying to get as many FCP users as it can so I am wondering if there are other Mac users on this forum who have swtiched and who are having the same problems? I have read the reports on the Matrox forum and there seems to be a real saga over the Mini Max 02 and its software. There have been countless software revisions!
    Should I abandon Matrox and go for a Black Magic card. I understand the Black Magic Pro card only does 1920 interlaced. I want a card that will be able to transfer anything Premier can display on its timeline and put it on my Sony Bravada. So that means progressive as sell as interlaced.

    Hi all, matrox came good with a monitoring solution for premiere pro which now works perfectly. Not tried it with a deck connected but at least I can see what I am doing...
    Here it is:
    Please check the following procedure. You can just do steps 5 to 13 at first. If it does not work then redo all steps. Let me know if it helps.
    1.    Uninstall the Matrox driver using the Matrox Uninstaller. The system will restart.
    2.    After the MAC has restarted, go to yourusername->library->application support->adobe->Premiere Pro->5.5 and delete the 'Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs' file  or use the ‘Preference Manager’ application: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    3.    Restart MAC
    4.    Re-download and re-install the Matrox driver software
    5.    Go to System Preferences -> Sound -> Output
    6.    Change the default device to anything other than Matrox
    7.    Open a new project and select a Matrox sequence preset.
    8.    Open the Premiere Preferences menu.
    9.    Click on ‘Audio Hardware’ and set the default device to anything other than Matrox
    10.   Click on ‘Audio Output Mapping’ and set the ‘Map Output’ to anything other than Matrox
    11.   Close Premiere and re-open (only if you made any changes)
    12.   Open a new project and select a Matrox sequence preset.
    13.   Select a Matrox sequence, load a video clip, test playback.
    Note: In Premiere, if you are working in a Matrox sequence and want to also output the Source window content through the MXO2, then you can do so by opening Premiere Preferences -> Player Settings -> and setting the value to 'Matrox Player'. Your source window video and audio will now be output through the MXO2.
    Note: Audio output through the system sound card is not supported when working in a Matrox sequence.

  • Can I access apps purchased on Mac App Store from my iPad or iPhone?

    I recently purchased an application from the Mac App Store on my MacBook Pro. Can I access this app from my iPad and iPhone? it does not come up as an app in iTunes.

    You will have to purchase the iPad and iPhone versions separately as the Mac version will not work on IOS devices.  Some apps work on both phone and iPad so they may not have to be purchased individually, but only IOS apps work on phones and tablets.

  • Problems with partitioning and install Grub. Fresh install

    All,
    First post here. I appreciate any help you can offer.
    I am having some problems when installing Arch Linux.
    I am installing Arch on a brand new (3 days old) Toshiba SatelliteC655D-S5300 Laptop.
    Hot sheet can be found at http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content … -S5300.pdf.
    I was initially installing from 2011.08.19 x86_64 Core CD but someone suggested using the latest version.
    Now I am installing from 2011.11.13 x86_64 CD burned at 4x (the slowest my burner can go).
    I am able to complete all steps up to installing GRUB, but it fails to install.
    During partitioning I receive a few errors and I believe this is contributing to the issue.
    At first I tried automatic partitioning with 100mb boot, 1024mb swap, 10,000mb / and the rest of 320g for /home. Each partition is ext3 except /boot which is ext2.
    During the automatic partitioning an error briefly occured: /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-blockdevices-filesystems.sh: line 355: !((partition_flag)): command not found.
    After speaking with a friend they suggested manually partitioning and using UUIDs instead.
    1) So far I have removed all partitions, rebooted.
    2) Partitioned using cFdisk. Bootable 100mb parition, 1024mb swap, 15,000mb primary (/), 3000mb logical (/var), and the rest 300949mb logical (/home).
    3) Once I write the changes and quit I reboot.
    4)I go back into the installer and complete steps 1-3.
    5) Go to step 4 and and then manually configure block devices, file systems, or mount points.
    6) I choose the option for uuid and hit ok.
    At this point 3 error messages appear at the bottom:
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh: line 602: local: 'part,' : not a valid identifier
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh: line 602: local: 'type,' : not a valid identifier
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh: line 602: local: 'label,' : not a valid identifier
    (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/OHRKo.jpg)
    7) Next it prompts me to add the mount points for each partition set.
    8) Select the partition, the mount point, it asks me for label and any additional opts for mkfs.ext3.
    9) I leave the label and opts field blank. After selecting ok to the opts field I get the same 3 errors as above:
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh: line 602: local: 'part,' : not a valid identifier
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh: line 602: local: 'type,' : not a valid identifier
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh: line 602: local: 'label,' : not a valid identifier
    (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/QqkSP.jpg)
    I am able to successfully set a mount point and format each partition. But I receive the same set of 3 errors occur for each partition.
    10) Once I complete the formatting I proceed to step 8, install bootloader.
    It says Generating Grub device map.. This could take a while. Please be patient.
    I receivieve the following error on this screen: /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-blockdevices-filesystems.sh: line 355: !((partition_flag)): command not found.
    (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/B5j4K.jpg)
    11) After the error displays it goes to the next screen, before installing grub you must review config file. etc.
    12) I hit ok and then :q the config file. Is there a critical change in the config file that I'm missing?
    13) After closing the file I select which the boot device where the GRUB bootloader will be installed. My only option is /dev/sda. I hit ok
    Then I get the following 2 errors:
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-blockdevices-filesystems.sh: line 355: !((partition_flag)): command not found
    /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-blockdevices-filesystems.sh: line 355: !((partition_flag)): command not found
    (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/ol840.jpg)
    13) Error installing GRUB. See /dev/tty7 for output. Ok
    14) GRUB was NOT successfully installed. Ok
    I checked out TTY7.
    It shows the installer issuing the following commands in GRUB.
    1) device (hd0,) /dev/sda
         Error 12: Invalid device requested
    2) root (hd0,0)

    Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
    Done.
    4) quit
    I have tried rebooting from here and using the Arch CD to boot into the existing OS but it does not work.
    I tried grub-install /dev/sda
    I get Probing devices to check BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
    /dev/mapper../dm-0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
    I have tried going into grub and issuing the same commands the install script did.
    Same errors.
    I'm afraid I don't have network access at the moment so I can't get a successful /arc/report-issues to run.
    I hope I've included enough information to start the troubleshooting.
    Let me know if I've missed anything!
    Thanks in advance,
    -Jason

    Your drive does not have an MBR to install grub to as it is a GPT disk - which is also not supported under the old GRUB.
    You need to create a small partition at the very beginning of the drive (8MB is plenty) and set the "bios_grub" flag. ie the "BIOS drive" your error refers to.
    You will then need to install the grub2-bios package following the chroot instructions on the grub2 wiki page here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#Installation
    ** Please note that I found the chroot mounts to be outdated - replace "/tmp/install" with "/mnt" **
    Your alternative solution is to boot a gparted liveCD and prepare your disk as MBR - this will (most likely) destroy all existing data on the disk.

  • Problems with uninstalling and installing

    I have already installed Adobe Premiere Pro CC and thought I would uninstall and try another editing programme for Mac to see what else there was to use. However to uninstall it I draged every file that had something to do with the software into my recycle bin and clear it. This includes the uninstaller it comes with once downloading.
    Now I want to install it again but Creative Cloud won't let me as it says it is already installed and up to date. How do I download it again? Someone please help.

    BUMP, anyone please help!
