Starting an hour ago, the Mac App Store says I need to download Lion 10.7.4 again. Anyone else?

I am currently running Mac OS 10.6.8 with all updates on a Mac Mini (3,1--the model with 5 USB ports). Previously, I purchased, downloaded, but did NOT install Lion 10.7.3. Yesterday, I successfully downloaded 10.7.4 via the Mac App Store, but as before I didn't install it (planning to do that this evening). However, starting about an hour ago, the Mac App Store indicates that Lion has been updated and that I should download 10.7.4 -- again, apparently. I'm using the same AppleID account (the only one I have). Anyone else have the same experience? Is there a 10.7.4 version 1.1? If so, nothing in the software description mentions it...

This answer sidesteps my question. I'm aware that I could have upgraded from 10.6.8 to my previously downloaded 10.7.3 and then updated to 10.7.4 using the smaller updaters (I would favor using the Combo). But since the 10.7.3 FileVault security issue directly applied to me, I wanted to upgrade straight to 10.7.4, where it was addressed. Also, since my internet connection is quite fast, taking 15 minutes to redownload all of it again was not a deal-breaker for me. Interestingly, the instance of 10.7.4 I downloaded last night is 25 bytes longer than the 10.7.4 I downloaded the day before. Performing a 'diff -ra' within 'Terminal' between the two instances of the 10.7.4 Installer app revealed that the changes are confined to a single file within: 'Install Mac OS X Lion.app/Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt', and that they look like timestamp differences, so I'm now guessing that the two instances are functionally identical...

Why does the Mac App Store say "Item not currently available in the U.S. store" when I try to upgrade to OS X Yosemite?

This showed up when I clicked "Upgrade Now" from the Apple website.

Because Apple hasn't completed the release yet and/or their servers are flooded.

Recently, when I "check-in" using the Yelp app, it says it had a problem sharing with Facebook. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am using the following versions:
iOS 4.3.3
Yelp 5.2.0
Facebook 3400
It used to work perfectly fine. I would check in on Yelp and simultaneously it would post my check-in on Facebook. But, for some reason, a few days ago it stopped working.
I've tried the following:
- Shutdown and booted up the phone.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled both Yelp and Facebook apps.
- Changed the email address and passwords I use on both Yelp and Facebook.
- Removed the Yelp application from Facebook and added it again.
In any case, none of my efforts have been successful. When I attempt to check in, it checks in on Yelp, but then a message pops up stating "Facebook - Sorry, we had a problem sharing. Ignore or Retry".
Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Since you've already done a good job of troubleshooting, try Yelp support here > http://www.yelp.com/contact?topic=support&subtopic=iphone
Make sure and tell them what you have tried that didn't work.

HT203421 How do I get iphone apps in the mac app store? Also, my apps from my iphone will not sync to my mac. Why is this?

I've had my iphone 4 for a couple years, but I've recently purchased a new macbook air. For some reason, I do not have the option of syncing my apps from my iphone to itunes. I am currently running ios 6 on my phone, but I don't want to update until the apps are backed up to the computer. How do I resolve this? Also, is there a way to download and/or update iphone apps from the mac app store?

Connect the iPhone and iTunes will open automatically. Then, go to iTunes menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases, and all the content downloaded from the App Store and the iTunes Store will be transferred to the MacBook. Note that in iTunes 11 you can choose the iPhone at the top right part of your iTunes window.
The Mac App Store is used to download Mac OS X apps, and the App Store is used to download apps for iPod touch, iPad and iPhone. You can't download apps for iPhone from the Mac App Store. Instead, you can download them from iTunes or from the iPhone

Buying in the Mac App Store for the enterprise

We're looking to buy an app in the Mac App Store (iBarcoder) for our graphic designers using Macs, and after read this article on Macworld.com, we're not too sure how to go about it.
Does that mean I could buy one copy of an app and install it on every Mac in my business?
No, the license you agree to when you enter the Mac App Store says that app downloads are for Macs that you personally own, and that's a license for personal use. Apps that are intended for professional use are licensed for you or for a single computer used by several people. While there's no technical impediment to you installing them on multiple Macs at work, you'll be violating the license agreement. It's the same scenario as if you buy a single-user copy of iWork and install it on ten Macs at work—you can do it, but you're violating the license agreement, making the act ethically questionable.
We know about the volume licensing that Apple offers, but it seems as though it's only for education and not for the enterprise. Surely creating a new Apple ID for every Mac isn't the best way to do this, right?
Thanks!

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

Can't download the mac app store?

I went to ''Software Update'' and everything, and it still isn't working. I've done it over and over. Please help.

You didn't say what operating system you have, however, assume you have Snow Leopard 10.6, since OS X Leopard 10.5 and earlier can't access the mac app store.
You need to have OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard or later for the mac app store application to work. You can download the combo 10.6.8 update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 which will have the mac app store application included.

HT1822 "Server app is available from the Mac App Store" ?

Has anyone been able to find Server app on the Mac App store? I need it for administering my other servers 10.4.11 and 10.7.4 from my new copy of Mavericks OS10.9 that came with my new MacBook Pro 15". I have not been able to find "Server app on the Mac App store" yet, maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

So much of seemless staggared upgrading of my Apple assets, hardware and or software.
I did read the artical and accept that I must upgrade all my assets at once to maintain a tight level of integration. Let me restate the question, "where on the Mac App site can I find the Server app", the product the second sentance of the first paragraph in the OS X Server (Mavericks) section of artical http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US refers to?
I was hoping someone that has had this issue before could point me to where the alleged "Server app" for Mavericks OS's can be obtained.

Can't follow a link to the mac App Store

If I click on a link that will be taking me to the mac app store (not the itunes one) I end up at "install the app store..."
I have it installed, I can be logged in and still I cannot follow a link, I end up having to search for whatever I was aiming for manually.
All my software is up to date, my machine is a newish iMac.

I don't have one to hand, sorry, but I will see what I can find.
Okay, just googled one - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/compartments/id402352687?mt=12
I click on the "view in the mac app store" and it takes me to http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/?id=402352687 which for me is the Apple page describing the Mac App Store and advising me to download and install it.

Getting the Mac App Store. Help

So i have a MacBook Pro and its running 10.5.8. Im trying to upgrade to Lion and i seem to have an isue because i can't download the Mac app store to get it because you need to have had Snow Lepoard now on the apple website it tells you to check out "Snow Leapord" but redirects you to the Lion page.
So my question is how am i suppose to get Lion without being able to get the App Store. Because Appple is tryiing to be Enviromentally friendly with the App store. I don't want to have to buy Snow Leapord and then get Lion. It would simply make no sense for me to do so.
So you see my dilema here can anyone help me.
Thanks again.

You must install Snow Leopard in order to have the Mac App Store installed so you can download and install Lion.
Lion requirements: Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM.
Apple - OS X Lion - Get Lion in July. Only from the Mac App Store.

Buy twice, once - pre-installed with mac(imac2012), second time in the Mac App Store?

1. md096 with preinstalled Mountain Lion
2. mac app store asks to buy Mountain Lion
buy twice???

Why do you need to download a copy of the OS that is on your Mac. Use the recovery partition if you need to reinstall.
If you get another copy from the Mac App Store you will need to pay for it.

Mac app store says iwork is installed, but its not.

The Mac App store says that Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are all installed on my iMac, but when I open them, they are the previous versions. Should I delete and try to re-install? What do I do? I've already restarted. Didn't work. Suggestions?

Don't delete them. That will not help and you will find that they have more features than the new iWork apps. You can have both version on the computer. You have to have the latest version of iWork 09 for this to work.
To get the new ones.
1. log out of MacAppStore
2. Change the localized language in the System preferences> Language and Text > Text. Make sure the new language is on the top of the list
3. Restart the computer
4. Log in and open the MAcAppStore. Now you should see that you can download the new iWork apps. Do so and supply you AppleID for the appStore.
5.When done change language again in the System preferences
6. Restart the computer
7. now you should have the stripped version of iWork. The old one will still be in the application folder too.

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?

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.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer. See the end of this post for options.
If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
Options if you cannot upgrade: iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there. Backup your device directly to iCloud over a wireless connection. Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.
