Purchases different in MAS on 2nd Mac

I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. Mac App Store account info is the same on both, although short user name is different.
Purchases appearing in MAS on one computer are different than the other. Purchases on one computer are not appearing in MAS on the other. What's up? Does the short user name need to be identical?

The short user name has nothing to do with the Apple ID with which your iTunes/MAS account is connected.

Purchases not showing up on 2nd Mac

I have 2 Macs and 1 App Store account. I was able to download Lion on both my iMac and MacBook. However, to go to Mountain Lion, the MacBook App Store is not showing my purchased apps and it appears to want me to purchase ML again. This was not the case with Lion. Any hints?

The Download button is avaiable if you want to re download Mountain Lion to create an OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion install drive | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
No need to re purchase Mountain Lion.
Sign in to the App Store first to view purchased apps. From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Sign In.

I purchased iwork (pages/numbers) on my mac.....how do I get these apps now onto both my iphone and ipad

I purchased iwork (pages/numbers) on my mac......how do I now get these apps onto my iphone and ipad? When I go to the 'purchased' section in my app store these are not listed.
Thank you for your help.
Mick.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iWork has got a version for Mac and another for iOS. You have purchased iWork for Mac, so you can install it for free in all your Macs, but you haven't purchased iWork for iOS.
You have to purchase iWork because the iPhone and iPad use a different operating system than the Mac and there are different versions

? on Mac App Apple Software Purchase Can You Put on 1 Mac?

Hi, Not the best Title (or Post)
I am considering purchasing 1 (Garageband 11" App from the Mac App Store) and Possibly iPhoto
I read (I thought*) that if You purchased a Mac App You Could share it on other (compatible)
Mac's in Your Home and on your Network (if You have one) it would be on a Intel imac
running OSX 10.6.8 and a Dec 2009 Mac Book Pro also running OSX 10.6.8
The Family Pack Disk is 5 users and > than needed, and the Single User (disk)
would leave us short (and 3 out of 5 applications were updated also)
Its possible only will get one Mac App now (Garageband) and review iPhoto
as the reviews do not seem great, iMovie would be the 3rd but we do not have a Video Camera
and IDVD and iWeb are unchanged
To make a lon post short can You Purchase and Share X 1 (or is it related to the Cloud?) perhaps their is where
I read it (I have a ipod Touch 2nd Generation and will not update to iOS5 (4.2.1 max) and G-Band on a Ipod Touch
would need extra peripehrals and iPad would be cool (but I am short $500.00 ha)
Thank You

Password-protected Keynote on 1st mac, keynote locked open on 2nd mac

I create a presentation in keynote on one mac, and set it to require the password to be entered to exit the presentation. I then transferred this presentation to another mac, and now the 2nd mac won't recognize the passwords (for the 1st mac or current -- 2nd -- mac) to let me out of the presentation. Help!

Welcome to the forums! Always good to see a fellow Canuck.
Do you mean that Keynote on the second machine is not recognizing the username and password of the account on which it is running? The "password to exit" feature doesn't actually store any password in the Keynote file -- the name and password that are requested are simply the account name and account password on which the presentation is currently running. (So, for example, if you run the same presentation on two different computers, you will use two different names and passwords to exit the presentation, the account names and passwords on each computer.)
If you are using the account name and password of the second machine, and it still is not working, you may want to uncheck the password option on the second machine, save the presentation there, then re-check the option and resave. Also be sure that you have both the right account name and the right password for the second machine.

Same Problem - Different Scenario: Encountering Problems running Mac OS X c

Same Problem - Different Scenario: Encountering Problems running Mac OS X commands.
Hi. I'm having a weird experience on opening document using
the Microsoft word 2008 application in MAC OS X.
To be specific on what is the scope of my application.
What I'm trying to do is run or simulate my application on appletviewer on a certain pop-up HTML
document. The first part of my statement block on my code doing well on
executing the downloading process of a file and save it on local machine.
This portion of works fine.
But the thing that I'm having some difficulties is
whenever i Re-opened the downloaded file from my local machine
that is being downloaded from my server.
I'm trying to established a checking or triggering pattern that the
file from my local machine was modified or not.
doing this execution I'm using the following code below to figure it out:
java code:
portion of calling the trigger part
if((nMacEditMode = editFileViaMac(clientFile)) == 1)
baseApplet.addMsg("Opened and edited file on local machine ...");
else
if(nMacEditMode == 3)
baseApplet.addMsg("Opening and editing of file on local machine failed! Try again!!");
else
baseApplet.addMsg("No changes made. Server file unchanged! You may close this window.");
portion of the runtime execution of opening the file via MAC OS X
public int editFileViaMac(String wordFileName)
try
String cFile = wordFileName.trim().replaceAll(" ", "\\ ");
wordPath = wordPath.trim().replaceAll(" ", "\\ ");
Process wordProcess =null;
Date startTime;
Date endTime;
File wordFile = new File(cFile);
startTime = new Date(wordFile.lastModified());
String[] myCommand = { "open", "-a", wordPath, wordFile.getAbsolutePath(), "-W" };
wordProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(myCommand);
wordProcess.waitFor();
endTime = new Date(wordFile.lastModified());
if (startTime.before(endTime))
return 1;
return 2;
catch(Exception ex)
baseApplet.addMsg("Method Error : editFileViaMac() - "+ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
return 3;
Now the weird things happen here.
The file was able to opened- as I wanted to, but when a made changes or not doing anything.
The Microsoft Word 2008 application on the MAC Activity Monitor. The instance was still alive or
keep running and I execute MAC commands being implement on the Process on the Terminal and it still
stuck in that thing. which means I have to manually kill the process of the said application on
the GUI part of Task Manager of MAC and my 2nd statement on the if replies.
Any thoughts will glady appreciated.

Please ensure new topics are posted in an appropriate forum. I have moved this thread from "news & updates" but in future posts made there in error will be deleted.

I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
hope others find this useful.

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
The second is a bit trickier.

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
Doug

Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

Looking for a Dictation App for my Iphone and MacBook Pro.
Want to send all dictation to Word.
I have Dragon. Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?

Care to share which OS you are using?
OS has its own dictation program.
Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?
Only you can make that determination. Read the system requirements for both and read the reviews.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

I did authorized in the store, but still did not transfer to the mac. Could you please to tell me what should I do it? Please let me know that as soon as possible.
Regards,
Thank you

The iPad is fine. But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad. You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.

You need to upgrade OS X.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
