Same apps get installed every week

Mac Mini 2011. System 10.9.5. This has been going on for a couple of months. Every week the App Store insists that I install the same versions of the same 8 Apps. Sometimes there is a new item, and it installs just fine and doesn't repeat, but these same 8 apps get installed every single week. Since one of them is Xcode and another is iMovie, there is a lot of downloading going on.
After the install the machine will refuse to sleep. <pmset -g assertions> in Terminal shaows that storeagent is preventing sleep. It also prevents relaunching the App Store application. Force quitting storeagent restores the ability to lanch the App Store application and allows the machine to sleep until the next week. No idea what this is about.

It doesn't guess very well.
Yeah, resetting the SMC didn't help with the mds-maintenence(?) (or whatever that process was called) persistence issue, and neither did reindexing both of which I did repeatedly. All indexes got deleted when I finally disabled Spotlight completely, so reenabling has created new ones. It's been a very frustrating problem which began with 10.9.0 I think. With 10.9.0 - 10.9.3, killing off the indexes and redoing fixed the problem until the next System Upgrade. This stopped working with the 10.9.4 upgrade. After that, nothing short of disabling Spotlight altogether fixed the sleep issue, and I was frustrated enough to do just that. Had intended to reenable it when 10.9.5 came along, but frankly forgot I had disabled it. Maybe it will work this time. It's been a very frustrating experience. I really do appreciate the heads up on the Spotlight/App store relationship as I had no idea about that.

  • How do creative cloud apps get installed without asking for administrator?

    The title says it all but I'll reiterate. How do CC apps downloaded with the Creative Cloud desktop app get installed without asking for administrator user/password? Its the sam on both Mac and Windows and I don't understand how its doing it. This seems like a security hole to me.

    JscottCMD are you installing the Adobe Creative applications with a Creative Cloud Individual subscription?  If so please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install the applications and updates included with your membership.

  • Since Apple already has a SMS/MMS app for the iPhone, which can be used over WiFi, can the same app be installed on the iPad 2?

    I have an iPhone 3GS, and realized I do most of my SMS/MMS messaging at home, when connected to my WiFi. Then I began to think, if I'm using the messaging app over WiFi, can the SAME app (which, personally I like much better than the third party apps) be installed on the iPad 2 (which I'm still waiting from back order)?

    Incorrect.
    SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
    "Dumb" phones or phones not in the smart category that don't have internet access in any shape, form, or fashion can exchange SMS/MMS.
    Since SMS/MMS (a poor man's email with cell phones since it is very limited) is a cash cow for carriers and very profitable, why wouldn't cell phone carriers be interested in including SMS/MMS as an additional option (and of course at an additional expense) with a data plan only for the iPad? They certainly are interested in it but they can't since SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
    Get me the IPAD SMS app
    Take your whining someplace else. The self-entitlement displayed here by some is laughable.

  • Can you choose which folder an app gets installed to?

    When I install a new app it just goes to the main page then I have move it to a certain folder. Is there a way to have it ask where you want to install it instead of having to organize it after the fact?

    The iOS doesn't support where to designate which screen you want an app installed to BUT, connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes. Select Apps in the menu.
    You can drag and drop apps from one screen to the other or move screens around then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
    You can provide feedback to Apple. Never know, they might come up with a way to do that.

  • HT1541 Almost every week I make purchases in slot machine apps and almost every week I have to email iTunes support because my purchases cannot be made. Obviously this is when there is definately money in my account

    I try to make a purchase and it says contact iTunes sorry transaction failed

    Have you asked iTunes Support why you keep getting the message and if there is anything that you or they can do to stop it happening ? We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing.

  • Got my Iphone unlocked recently and now when inserted new sim, all the apps got wiped out, tried syncing it again from itunes but still it isnt getting installed. Can someone help?

    Hi,
    Recently I got my Iphone unlocked. Earlier I was using it on ATT n/w. After unlock i am using it in India with a service provider here.
    The problem that I am getting is, the phone was able to pick up the network and am able to make calls and messages. Data plan is still to be activated so cant confirm on that, but all the apps that were there on my phone got wiped out on its own. Since I wasnt sure as to what happend, so I reinstalled the apps today morning. I saw the apps getting installed and then left to get ready for my office. after nearly 30 mins I saw nothing was getting syncronized so disconnected the phone and left for Office. On reaching office when I checked for my usual Apps, I could see only the apple apps and none other available there. Need to know whats the issue and how to resolve it. Please can someone help me on this?

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
    Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

  • Same apps keep needing updating to same version

    I keep having the same 4 or 5 apps requiring updates on the Touch. Same version gets updated every single time too. I know these are not new updates, but the same one requiring an install over and over again. It might be a couple days between installs too. What is going on? I'm not not to qipe the TOuch, but I think I might have to do a fresh install.

    mine does this too, it's really annoying. I'll click updates and it will say "X" has update for [insert todays date here]. Then after downloading, i'll go back into the app store and it will show up to 12 apps that need updates, except the update is from a date about 2 weeks-2 months ago. I noticed it does this now in itunes as well. Maybe it always has but i just noticed it. Each time you refresh the "Applications" tab, there's a new number of apps that need an update.

    3) I also know I installed some apps on my own account but when I try to update them, the installer guy,s apple I'd comes out. Is there A way to change that?
    Thanks for helping out a newbie non- techie :))

    1) iPad force closes often when I get to support page
    Can't help you with that.
    2) guy who installed apps on iPad used his own iTunes account. Is therea way for me to update using my own account? I've tried deleting and reinstalling but I end up paying 2x for the same apps
    Who does this iPad belong to? If someone else used their account then they paid for the apps. You will need to buy and pay for apps using your own account which means that you will no longer have access to the apps installed by the other person.
    3) I also know I installed some apps on my own account but when I try to update them, the installer guy,s apple I'd comes out. Is there A way to change that?
    If this iPad belongs to you I suggest you reset the iPad to factory defauts and just use it with the apps that you've paid for. You will be able to re-download the apps from the iTunes app store after the reset.
    Follow this guide to reset the iPad to factory settings.

  • Cannot get upgraded App to move into App folder. Every time I open Firefox, the install program tries to run again.

    I upgraded to FF 8.0 but have been unable to get the App to copy over to the App folder. It asks me if I want to overwrite the existing file of the same name. When I try, it tells me it cannot because certain items had to be skipped. It tells me to go to File&lt;Get Info and make sure "Locked" is deselected and that the permissions are all set correctly. However, it does not tell me what these "Items" so I can check them. I have tried to eject the Firefox disk as well as move it to the trash but, no matter what I do, as soon as I open the browser again, the disk pops back up on my desktop and the Application copy window opens back up.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • Why am I getting updates every day to the same three apps?

    For the past week, each day I log in to the internet on my iMac (OS 10.8.5), my Creative Cloud app notifies me that updates are available to the same three apps: Photoshop CC, InDesign CS6, and InDesign CC. (Each day, I duly authorize the updates, and they are reported successfully installed.) Is this because there are actually new changes each day to these applications? Or is Creative Cloud app not recognizing that previous changes have already been made?

    Thanks for your thoughts on this issue. I do NOT use any type of system
    optimization utilities. Here are a few more details about my situation,
    including the results of using an alternative admin user.
    In looking at the "what's new" details provided for each application
    "needing" an update in the CC app (on my iMac), I notice that the version
    of the Photoshop CC update is 14.2, the same as the version of PS CC on my
    computer. But for Illustrator CC, the update version is 17.1.0, the version
    according to the Finder "Info" is 17.0.0, but when I actually open
    Illustrator CC and check "About Illustrator", version 17.1.0 is indicated.
    Now I'm really confused! It looks like the version information visible to
    the Finder, at least, isn't being changed during the update process. Could
    this indicate where the problem is?
    Looking under "info" in the Finder for the Adobe applications, I notice
    that the "Owner" of all the Adobe applicationsPS CC, ID CC, etc.is
    "root (0)", the "Group" is "admin (80)". Many, but not all, of non-Adobe
    applications on my iMac have the "Owner" as "harryhull (502)", "Group" as
    "admin (80)". Could this have any bearing on the issue?
    In the CC app, under Preferences>Apps, I have chosen "[Macintosh
    HD]/Applications", which is where all these, and my non-Adobe, applications
    reside.
    OK, when I use an alternative admin user account and then I log in to CC,
    ALL the Adobe applications are shown as up to date. Under the CC app's
    Preferences for Apps, I left location as "default location". When I check
    Finder "Info" for Illustrator CC, it still shows as v. 17.0.0. When I log
    out of that user and back in to my normal user account, the CC app shows
    the same apps as needing updates.
    Any further thoughts?

  • How do I get the app to install with Configurator?

    Trying to set up a few iPads with all the same apps etc.  Have a VPP account (just started in Canada, whoot!), have purchased the apps, have the spreadsheets.
    Instructions for Configurator say to import the app, and then later when installing the app import the VPP spreadsheet to authorize installation.  So I have to have the actual app on my computer in order to add it to configurator.
    So how am I supposed to get the app?  I don't get a copy when I pay for the codes in the VPP store.  The redemption code link in the spreadsheet doesn't work with the apple id used for VPP - just says "this apple account is a vpp only account and cannot access the Apple Store" or words to that effect.
    Do I have to burn one of my redemption codes just to download the app through some other regular apple account?  Do I have to budget for one extra code for every app just to download the app so I can administer it through Configurator?  That can't be right....
    Jaso

    Hi Jaso,
    Here's how I've been doing it using the latest Apple Configurator 1.1.2.
    First, go into iTunes and authorize with an Apple ID (iTunes -> Store -> Authroize this computer). It doesn't have to be a VPP Apple ID…just an ordinary Apple ID used to associate with the app. Use one of the VPP codes to download the app. It will go to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications. These apps will be linked to the Apple ID you authorized in iTunes. Next go into Apple Configurator and add the apps on the Prepare -> Apps screen. When you try to add the app in AC (clicking on the "+" at the bottom of the screen), you should be prompted to enter an Apple ID and password (see screenshot below).
    It will say that "This Apple ID will be used to redeem VPP codes…" It is NOT the Apple ID used to purchase the VPP codes… The VPP codes can be redeemed by any Apple ID.
    You must enter the same Apple ID and password that you used to download the app in iTunes, and you should be good to go. You will receive another prompt stating that a paid app has been imported. Click OK.
    Now in the Apps screen you should see your paid app listed. On the right side of the app you will see a button with a "0" listed. That's how many VPP codes you have. Click on the "0" button. In the next window, click on Import Redemption Codes in the lower left corner. Navigate to your .xls file of VPP codes and click Open. You are now ready to use those codes on your group of iPads. You should get credited back the one VPP code you used to download it initially.
    Hope this answers your question Good luck!!!

  • TS1702 What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found"

    What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found". None of the Apple suggestions fix the problem. For example, with Animoto, one of the problem apps, I have removed it, reinstalled it, and still get the eoor message.

    Of course.
    First of all, this started when an external drive i was using died on me. I have no doubt that these apps indeed are off my system. I figure between the apps I've bought for myself and my kid, I have about 150 apps.
    Now. The issue.
    When I sync my iPad with iTunes on my desktop, it goes through normally until it gets to the apps. When that happens, it get an error box that reads "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because one or more errors occurred. For a list of appps that could not be installed, click on the triangle below."
    Then I get a list of apps.
    (Added note to any iTunes developers out there: The titles of the apps in this list do not always match the titles of the apps in the App Store. For example, one was called "MuseumGame" on my iPad. It's called "Museum of Thieves" on the App Store. I started out with a list of 60 apps. It was a major pain to track them all down. It would be nice to have everything the same so I can use the App Store search more effectively.)
    Anyway, moving on....
    The error message stops my sync until I dismiss it. That, honestly, is what makes this whole thing annoying enough to seek out an answer. I can't let my iPad start syncing and walk out of the room. Yeah. I know. First World problems.
    Once I dismiss the error, the sync continues and all is well.
    I did the following to try to fix the problem. Mostly, I did a lot of searches:
    My list of purchased apps on my iPad both using the search box and by going to every page
    Searched the main App Store on my iPad using the search field. When that didn't work, I used wider searches and just scanned the page(s) for the little cloud icon that showed I had purchased the app.
    I got on my desktop iTunes and searched the apps from there (without a lot of hope, but trying to be complete)
    At that point, I came to the conclusion that a small number of the apps are no longer available on the App Store.
    Fine. I didn't want them anyway.
    I got into iTunes and went to the Apps page. None of the errant apps showed up there. I searched the iTunes help files. Nothing. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer to the search engine gods, and tried Google. I found some things that sort of matched but they basically boiled down to "re-download the app from the App Store" or "Restore your iPad".
    So I spent a couple of hours restoring my iPad. I got the error message again. I hit Google again and came up with this thread. It was as close to my problem as I found.
    I think that brings us up to date.
    My fundamental problem is that I seem to have found a scenario where if you have to restore apps (because, perhaps, your external drive died) and some of the apps are no longer available for download, there is an error generated that can not be permanently dismissed.
    Did I miss anything important?
