Some programs do not run: update software, mac App Store, Calendar, ibooks.V the same time, the program iTunes, iPhoto and other work normally. What to do?

Hello JohnnyChin95,
You absolutely can just reinstall OS X Mavericks without having to erase and install. The steps to do that are almost the same as the only thing you do differently is that you do not go to Disk Utility to erase the drive. Just go to the Reinstall OS X option and pick your Hard Drive and follow the on screen instructions to get it going. Check out the article below for the step by step process.

"Updates" in Mac App Store contains multiple instances of same patch?

I started with a newly opened MacBook Air (mid-2013) with Mountain Lion. I used the Mac App Store to install Mavericks and the few subsequent OS patches. In "Updates", I see multiple instances of the same patch, listed a few times:
MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v1.9 (3 times)
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update v4.09 (2 times)
MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update v2.7 (1 time)
iPhoto v9.5 (1 time)
I haven't noticed anything wrong with the system, but it's weird to see a patch "installed" multiple times? Anyone know why this is?
Thanks!

Yes, seen that little occurrence more than a few times, eventually it will vanish from what I've seen.
If you installed it fine, no worries.
techs are looking into this.

IPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store will not update from 9.1.5

I downloaded the iPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store.
When I try to update from 9.1.5 to 9.2.1, I get the message: "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store."
Since the Mac App Store is where I downloaded the update from, I don't know how exactly to proceed.
Any suggestions?

Terence and Peter,
I have iPhoto 9.1.5 which was installed on my iMac that I received November, 2011.
My wife has the 9.2.1 version of iPhoto on her MacBook Pro which she bought months before I bought my iMac.
My iPhoto library opens fine in 9.1.5 on my iMac but will not open the copy of her iPhoto library that I copied to my iMac. We have two libraries and I want the same one she has instead of two separate libraries.
I went to the Mac App Store and downloaded iPhoto9.2.1 Update.dmg to my desktop.
I then opened the .dmg and clicked on the iPhoto9.2.1Update.pkg.
The install iPhoto Update window started to open briefly before the Alert message "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available" appeared.
I checked the MAS and found this link and this is what I downloaded: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iPhoto%209.2.1

How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements?

How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements 9? Adobe says Apple handles updates, no updates were ever issued via App Store. Manual downloads on adobe.com results in Patch not compatible on both a security/bug fix update to PE9 and Camera Raw 6.5 update that adds more supported cameras.
All together, it means i have 80$ of useless software that doesn't support new camera models. Not happy.

For some reason, Adobe pulled Photoshop Elements 9 from the Mac App Store. It may be related to the fact they released version 11 just 6 days ago? (Note that I'm checking right now and in the US app store - other county app stores may differ.)
In any case, because it is no longer existing, you won't be able to get any future updates. If I were you, I'd contact Adobe and specifically ask why they removed the app from the App Store, preventing their users from downloading any updates in the future.

I get the message "Install Adobe Flash" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store. This is the first time I have gotten the message. What do I need to do?

Hi Sandra,
you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy. There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:" The default selection is 'Mac App Store'. Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".
This screenshot is taken on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), so it may look slightly different if you're on a different OS X version.

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Update in Mac App Store, just not for my account

My Mac App Store tells me that I've got at update for one of my programs, but when I open Mac App Store it's a update for Angry Birds, a game I don't have on my mac. When I press update a pop-up appears and say I need to login with [email protected] to update the program/game. Problem is that [email protected] looks like a russian account and i'm not from Russia. My account is set up with a gmail account and doesn't look anything like the russian account.
Am I being hacked?
Can anyone please help me?

Since my last comment I have come up with a way to hunt down the pirated app.
All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

Software update for Mac App store

I tried to update my software to get the new Mac App store. It said everything was downloaded and installed but I couldn't find the Mac app store anywhere on my macbook pro. I tried to check for software updates so see if I missed anything but i had no more updates available. What can I do?
Thank you

I tried to update my software to get the new Mac App store.
You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 to have it. Mac OS X 10.6 is a paid upgrade.

IPhoto/iMovie not showing eligible for update in Mac App Store

I understand that with the release of Mavericks, anyone with early versions of iWork or iLife apps are able to update to the current version free of charge.
I know that this works for the iWork apps but I'm having problems with the iLife apps (iPhoto and iMovie).
I was able to re-install the iWork apps (Numbers, Pages, Keynote) from the iWork install DVD that I had. After installing them, the Mac App Store recognized the apps and I was able to proceed with the upgrade.
Unfortunately, I'm not having the same luck with the iLife apps. I had to install both iPhoto and iMovie from the Applications Install DVD that I received when I originally purchased my MBP. I was able to successfully install the two apps, but now when I go into the Mac App Store, it doesn't seem to recognize that I've got the apps on my computer - it only gives me the option to purchase the apps.
Any thoughts on how I can get the updates to iPhoto and iMovie? It seems to be related to how I installed them (as I selectively installed these two apps from the Install DVD), but I've got no idea as to how I can get the upgraded version.
Thanks for anyone that can help!!
David

Not sure if you were also suggesting creating a new AppleID account as well.
No. You may have to contact App Store support to get this resolved.
Unfortunately there's not been a universal solution found for this problem.

Hide updates in Mac App Store

I've seen old topics on here about hiding updates in the Mac App Store, but they do not work for me.
I click "More..." on the app's information, but there is no option to hide the update. This is very frustrating and it's even more frustrating that I can't find a workaround for this anywhere.

Check your software for VALID copies. There are cracks out there that creat this update. I had a similar situation with a video editing app and once I deleted it the update went away. NOT saying you've pirated anything but this is well-known if you Google around a bit.I bought a MacBook Pro used and it had some cracked software on it that caused this issue. it's a mehtod to tie the license of the cracked app to a legit app to fool the App Store for registration blocking.
