  • Plus sign on left of apps in app store for ipod touch, What does it mean ?

    On the app store , when I look at a list of apps some paid apps have a plus sign on the left side of the price and some of the paid apps don't have a plus sign on the left of the price, So what does the plus symbol mean ?.   And also what does it mean on free apps when the plus sign is on the left on some of them but not others ?

    It means the app is Universal, that is, it will work on both, the iPhone and the iPad.

  • What does the plus sign (+ ) mean in the app store updates?

    What does the plus sign (+) mean in the upper corner of the app updates in the app store?  Does it mean it costs more money?

    No, it is free. I have yet to see a paid update. The + sign means it is a universal app, meaning that it works across iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

    Do you have to pay for these updates? I notice that the info section sometimes includes price information and I don't want to find myself with a bill for an update I really did not need.

  • What does the Mac App store mean for existing users of Aperture?

    I was wondering how the Mac App store will affect existing users of the software. I have purchased Aperture and upgrades since its launch but because I've not purchased through the App store, how will I gain access to future upgrades?
    When I go to the Aperture app in the store it shows as being installed but as I've not purchased it through the store, will I be eligible for future upgrades or will Apple expect me to purchase again?

    There is no way Apple can update Aperture 3 without offering that update to every user, regardless of where the app was purchased. So, expect that Aperture 3.1.2 or whatever will be available to you in some fashion.
    When the next paid Upgrade (to Aperture 4?) comes along, then we'll have to see what arrangements the offer.
    Regards

    I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option the is to quit. What is wrong?

    Hi,
    not sure what the problem might be, but you can try the following:
    While pressing ALT+CMD on the keyboard, click on the Aperture icon in the dock: Aperture then opens in a special "recovery mode", and you're prompted to choose what kind of repair you need: Repair Permissions / Repair Database / Rebuild Database
    Considering the situation, I'd recommend you to try "the "Repair Permissions" option first.
    If that isn't enough (and it may well be the case), then go straight for the "Rebuild Database" option; it's a non-destructive opration anyway, but since you've just installed Aperture you shouldn't have anything valuable in the default library...
    NOTE: if you do have some pictures in the library, instead, do a backup first! Time Machine is your friend
    Another option would be to launch Aperture while keeping only the ALT (option) key pressed: Aperture will ask you what library you want to open, or you can choose to create a new one from scratch.
    Good luck!
    Corrado

  • What does the dollar amount in the top left corner in the iTunes store mean?

    What does the dollar amount in the top left corner in the iTunes store mean?

    My guess is remaining balance on a gift card. I've never seen my credit card balance show up in iTunes or the app store. I don't think Apple can show that legally.

  • My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it connects again?

    My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it can connect and I can install apps or music once more? Also, when I go on the internet and try to search solutions, it freezes and I have to hold the power button for 20 seconds for it to go to lock screen. Any solutions?

    Safari does work, right?

    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • What does the recovery disk assistant store?

    hello everyone, my questions:
    1.what does the recovery disk assistant store?
    2.is it necessary to use the recovery disk assistant often or is it enough to use once.
    thanks
    Fatih.

    As it said in the link I posted:
    has same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari. This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed.
    And here it is explained further:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    It stores some tools (Disk Utility) to repair your drive and lets you connect to the app store to re-download the OS or restore it from a Time Machine backup. That's it.
    And it will re-install or restore your system (OS), it will not touch your files. However,
    NOTE: before doing anything like that, it is wise to have a complete backup - things can happen.
