Tech specs says I'm eligible for upgrade. Mac App store says I'm not. Please help

I have an older macbook pro. Model identifier 2,2. Tech specs says that I'm eligible but mac app store says that my MBP isn't. I already have Lion. This shouldn't be a problem. Please help.

If your MacBook Pro is from mid-2007 or newer, you can still download Mountain Lion.
You just have to purchase it at the App Store for $20 U.S.

    I can't download anything on the Mac App store. It says This Apple ID cannot be used for the Mac App Store.

    I went into settings, iTunes & App Store and tapped on my appleID, then signed out. I went back into the App Store on my phone and tried to download the app and then signed in again, and it worked!

  • I am using Leopard but need  Mountain Lion for the Mac App Store.  How do I get Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    I am currently using Leopard but need Snow Leopard to be able to get Mountain Lion. I can see this is no longer available from Apple.  How would I get it so I could then get Mountain Lion. I want the Logic 9 Mac App Store App as I don't want to have to buy the whole Logc 9 from Studio 8.
    Some help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?

  • How can I get a refund for a Mac App Store game?

    I bought Farming Simulator 2011 and now when I click on my save file it shuts down. I have already contacted GIANTS SOFTWARE but said to come here.

  • While upgrading Mac App Store Kindle I get the 'The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.' message. How to fix it?

    While upgrading Kindle from Mac App Store I get the message 'The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.' How can I fix it?

    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

  • It takes a full minute and a half for the Mac App Store Application to load on my iMac.  How can I fix this.  No other applications launch so slowly.

    Whenever I click on the Mac App Store icon in my dock, I get the spinning wheel for a minute and a half.  It then loads.  While in the App Store application, it takes a minute and a half to switch from "featured" to "top charts" for example.  Nothing else on my 24" iMac takes that long to load.  Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Drag the App Store app from the Applications folder to the Trash. Drag the App Store icon off the Dock. It should go "poof"..
    Download and install the v10.6.7 combo update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    That should re install the Mac App Store for you. It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7
    If the combo did not re install the MAS for you use Pacifist to extract the MAS from the v 10.6.7 .dmg folder.

  • HT4928 My Mac App Store account page does not show any options for unhiding purchases.

    I purchased Mountain Lion and want to re-download it to make a flash drive, but it does not appear in my purchase history. Clicking Option-Purchases doesn't change anything, and my Mac App Store account info page does not have anything regarding hidden purchases, although my iTunes account info page does. They are using the same Apple ID.

    Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Sandboxing for the Mac App store

    Hi
    I'm giving it one last try before giving up on getting i Dir app on the Mac App store. This is is where I'm at now.
    Attempt 1
    I made a app bundle as described in other discussions (a outer starter bundle that starts the director bundle, with a start.ini file alongside it). When sandboxing the director bundle, it can't find the start.ini file anymore, no read-access. I  used the temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-only=/ giving the app read rights to the whole system, so the user could move the app anywhere. And it worked, the app was sandboxed and codesign, great! But of obvious Apple rejected it.
    Ok i didn't really expect them to let it through with those read-rights.
    Attempt 2
    Same as attempt 1, but this time I hard  coded the path so the app had to be in the /Applications folder, and change temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-only=/Apllications/my great app/Contents/Resources/ (where the start.ini and the dir bundle is located).
    Again it worked find, and if you moved it out of the Applications folder the starter app prompted one to move it back.
    And Apple rejected it again, not letting me use temporary-exception (I have appealed this but most likely with no success)
    Attempt 3
    This is where I'm stuck. This time I let the dir bundle inherit the sandbox from the starter app, and it works, the dir app can find it's start.ini file without any temporary-exception, yeahh great!  you would think, but no.
    For some reason the dir app can't find it's xtras any more?! I tried placing a copy of them in every folder just to see if the link was working only pointing wrong, but no.
    I then tried using openXlib and it works for some xtras, like buddy api, but not for the shockwave 3D, mixer and Text...
    So has anyone any ideas how to proceed? And waiting for Dir 12 is not the solution I'm looking for.
    Best regards,
    SkyRider

  • Purchased List for Mac App Store in Lion will not show

    After upgrading to Lion, I click on the "purchased" link and it will not go to the "purchased" list. Anybody else having this issue?

    I believe the store is overloaded, and will clear itself when people calm down loding OSX Lion.
    Try a different time of day, don't forget usa is in the afternoon evening and they will be hammering Lion downloads about now after a hard day at work...

  • Updates for unrelated and unauthorized apple ID on mac app store

    Hi,
    I am having a queer issue with the mac app store.
    When I go to the updates tab in the mac app store I see an update for twitter app v 2.1.1.
    Now the twitter app on my apple ID has already been updated to 2.1.1 (I have checked in the get info on the twitter app).
    As soon as I click on update I get the dialog box of username and password, only in the username tab I see a different apple ID.
    It as a gmail ID which does not belong to me and neither has such an apple ID been authorized on my mac.
    I tried contacting apple email support for the mac app store twice, writing down my problem in detail. However I didn't get an acknowldegement mail both times (I checked junk mail).
    Is Anyone else having a similar issue? Is this an indication of some sort of hacking?
    I am running the Mac OS Snow Leapord 10.6.8
    Now I'm just hoping maybe updating to Lion might solve this issue.

    Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in replying, i have be away on vacation.
    To my knowledge I have not downloaded any trial apps form other than from the app store. its a mystery. I just want to get rid of this twitter app so that i can download the safe version.

  • Can I use a mac app store gift card for the mobile app store?

    If I purchase an Appstore gift card for the Mac App store, does the credit also apply to itunes, and the regular iOS App Store?

    The iTunes Store and Mac App Store use the same user database, so any credit in your account can be used in either place. Gift cards, while they may be labeled as one or the other, are actually identical and can be redeemed though either the iTunes Store or the Mac App Store.
    Note, though, that gift cards for the Apple Store are completely different and cannot be used in either the iTunes Store nor the Mac App Store.
    Regards.

  • If I buy an iPhone from the Apple store do I have to be eligible for upgrade under AT

    I really need to know ASAP. I have an iPhone 4 right now but I'm not eligible for upgrade until next May and I was wondering because the site doesn't say anything about upgrades, it just says to click which GB plan you want and which server you're under.

    You can buy whatever you want so long as you can pay for it. If you're not eligible for an upgrade, you'll just have to pay full price for the phone, that's all.
