I am unable to view My Wish List on the ITunes Store After installing the updated ITunes. It shows an Error -1202 and says try again later. But it never works.
Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

Hi folks -- i downloaded ML 10.8 from the Mac Store yesterday, and before installing saw the install app in my Applications folder. Following a posting on Macworld.com, I would like to make a DVD backup of the installer, but after restarting from the installation process, the Installer app is gone from the Applications folder, and I cannot find it anywhere... In would like to make that DVD backup in case I have Internet issues and need to do an install.
Do I need to download the installar again (and if I do, do I have to pay for it again), or is it hidden somewhere invisibly on my drive?--
Thanks in advance ~It gets deleted as soon as you install.
You need to quit the installer and extract from the app package before installing or download again.

I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation. I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine. I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's. Was there a application that did not get installed? And if so what is the process.
You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

We are currently migrating from Office 2010 MSI to Office 365 (2013) click to run installation deployed with Configuration Manager. I was curious if there was a way to grant our corporate accounts access to the Office store to pull in the Dictionary
and other tools not baked into Office 2013 (365).
The only way I have been able to do this is to have a separate Microsoft account to install the Dictionary.
Thanks,
BritaHi Brita:
With which accounts you set up your Office client, Office 365 subscribe account or your corporation account? Have you set up
directory synchronization for Office 365? Per my experience, if the directory synchronization has been set up, your corporation accounts will be associated with Office, therefore no need extra effort to install apps from Office store,
you can simply insert apps available in Office store to word in your case. If I misunderstood the situation, please let me know, thank you.
For Plan for directory synchronization for Office 365 please refer to

I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?
In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery. -
I have Itunes10.6 on my macbook but just got a new iphone and it says i need to upgrade my mac but the mac says it has the latest version??? Should I download the newer version? If I do will all my content merge?

And see http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 -
I have not been successful in obtaining the latest version of Snow Leopard so I have the Mac Store app. My computer shows that there are no updates available even though it only shows it running version 10..5.8. I would like to upgrade to Lion. When I download the .dmg updates from the web, they try unsuccessfully to open in Itunes or Quicktime. I can not get them to run. What is my next step?
As noted, in order to update from OS X 10.5.x to OS X 10.6.x you will need to acquire the retail package for OS X 10.6; that initial jump can not be done via download.
The current shipping retail version for OS X 10.6 is 10.6.3. Once you have installed that you can update it to OS X 10.6.8 via the Combo Update - running Software UPdate should be able to fetch that for you. You can also download it directly -
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Once you have installed that you can download and install the update for OS X 10.7 (Lion). -
I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store
I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store to download a game (N.O.V.A 2) it goes straight to the Launch Pad, as it's supposed to, but the game it's self wont download, it just keeps saying "waiting" I never had this problem before, any ideas?
I'm connected through my Sky Wifi, it's extremely quick, and I don't have any problems with it. Yes it asked me for my Account Email, and password as normal, then it did that little annimation where it flys into the Launch Pad, then it's saying "waiting" where it should be saying downloading.

I had to take my Mini to the Mac store to retrieve a disc stuck in the drive now my camera will not download into iPhoto. I have a Sony Driver Disc,but when I try to open the disc I get a error message "Classic environment is no longer supported". I have OSX 10.6.7 what has changed?
I'm sorry, but there is no 10.7.5 - do you mean 10.4.x or 10.5.x or 10.6.x?
I asked because 10.6. (which you have now) no longer supports the classic environment, but previous OS's did. So, if the store "upgraded" you to the latest OS when you had it in for repair, then that would be the reason. So, if you can't remember which OS version was on it, I would call or go to the store and ask if they changed the OS version. Now, I'm not sure what a Sony Driver Disc is - do you mean it's the software that came with your camera? Depending on the format of your camera cards, you should be able to use a USB card reader instead which might be easier to deal with. -
I upgraded to Mavericks at the mac store and now don't have iphoto
Hello All,
I went to the Mac store to upgrade to Mavericks, got home and realized that I don't have iphoto. Does anyone know how to get it back?
ThanksYou need to upgrade to the latest 64 bit Mavericks optimized, compatible version of iPhoto.
Older versions of iPhoto will no longer work under OS X Mavericks.
If you have a previous version of iPhoto from iLife '11, the upgrade to the new version of iPhoto should be free.
See this discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23753525#23753525
What will happen is that the new iPhoto library will be updated to work the new version of iPhoto an Mavericks and the updated iPhoto library will no longer be accessible to older versions of iPhoto or older versions of OS X.
If you want to be able to access the current configuration of your Libary with older version of iPhoto and an older versions of OS X, then you need to create a copy of the IPhoto lIbrary and move this copy to another location
You can save the duplicate iPhoto Library anywhere on your Mac's internal hard drive.
I created a new folder in my Home folder/directory called My Photos and stored the duplicate iPhoto library there along with other images I didn't want to be in iPhoto.
As long as the copy of the iPhoto library is made before you let the new version of iPhoto convert it, it will still be intact for older versions of iPhoto and OS X to access at some future date, if needed. -
My computer cannot install a printer after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have downloaded the HP printer drivers from the Mac Store. I click on add printer on Print and scan, the printer is connected via USB. I get a message that the drivers on not on Mac Store and cannot be installed.
True, not part of the list.
An older printer? You can only try contacting HP. Note that Apple is only the "distributor" of these drivers; HP as the vendor develops them. Or not... -
Installing Snow Leopard in the Mac Store?
Would I need an apple care plan to let the mac store install a fresh copy of Snow Leopard on my computer because I'm getting a computer that has kernal panics.

You can certainly make an appointment with an Apple Store Genius. They will be able to help you out with your machine, but for something as lengthy as a complete reinstall, you probably will have to pay them and leave the machine with them. It's also important to note that you will probably be responsible for the backups. Unless they tell you otherwise, it would be wise to assume they'll take your machine and hand back one that's been wiped totally clean, with all personal data and third-party applications gone.
To learn how to back up your computer, see my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups>. To try to resolve kernel panics on your own, see [the X Lab guide|http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html]. If you ultimately decide to take it to the Apple Store, don't just walk in... visit your local [Apple Retail Store page|http://www.apple.com/retail> and make an appointment with a Genius. -
I do not have a Mac but I want to give a software program for a Mac as a gift. I am not able to access the Mac store. Do I just get an iTunes card?
"Gift Card" is sometimes called a tacky gift, but if it allows the other person to get whatever they want it works.
Besides, anything purchased through App Store is usually "All Sales Final", so I think iTunes card is a good idea. -
My App Store is connected to another account. I've tried to alter all my settings through iTunes, The App Store on both the phone and my Mac but it is still connected to the original owner's apple ID. Is there something I can do?
Turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud on the iDevice.
Log out of iMessage, Facetime, remove Apple ID from iTunes & App Store.
Use Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Then set it up as a new iPhone with your own Apple ID.
