Hi Why not just buy an iTunes card until your problem is sorted In uk they are £15.00 / £25.00/£50.00 Just enter readeem code into iTunes. Cheers Brian

    FCPX crashed and I reported it here. Tom Wolsky suggested I trash prefs, perform an fsck, reboot and redownload FCPX from the App store. The reboot was okay but Safari will not let me access the App Store to redownload FCP. I'm running 10.6.8 but the App Store icon is grayed out. I get a "Safari doesn't recognize addresses starting with macappstore."
    How do I get to the App Store to get FCPX back? I'm using the Trial version now.

    How are you linking to the App Store from Safari? From this page?

  • Problems with App Store since installing Mountain Lion

    I have recently installed Mountain Lion and since then have been unable to use the App Store. When I launch it comes up with an error message stating 'App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store.Would you like to connect anyway?'  If you hit continue the application flashes black and white but goes no further. Has anyone else had this problem and what could be done about it.
    Regards

    Yes at work and no at home but the problem occurs regardless of this

  • If I buy Lion in the app store, can I ''reset'' my whole macbook (instead of doing this with the cd that comes with the macbook)?

    If I buy Lion in the app store, can I ''reset'' my whole macbook (instead of doing this with the cd that comes with the macbook)?
    With ''reset'' I mean, repair because it is from 2007 and so slow. So that all the data and programmes are gone and I can start over with Lion!?

    You have a choice. You can start by erasing the drive and reinstalling Snow Leopard prior to purchasing and downloading the Lion installer. Or you can purchase and download the installer, save the Lion installer, create a bootable Lion USB flash drive installer, boot from the Lion installer, erase the hard drive, and install Lion. I would suggest the second choice:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button or quit the installer. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.
    To install Lion from scratch:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot From Lion USB Flash Drive:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the USB flash drive then click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.

  • Why is my app in the app store is all need to purchase with visa and such other things? As a example i wanted to update the clash of clan apps, but it keep saying that i have to do a billing thing. Please help me.

    Im currently new to this iphone. Im using iphone 5s with a version iOS 7.1.1. My problem is what is wrong with my app store? It keep telling me to update my billing method. Was all apps in the app store is need to be purchase. Such as i wanted to update my clash of clan game. It keep telling me to fill in my billing method. I already fill in the billing method, but it say that "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. " i don't know why he keep telling me this even though in my visa card got money. Please help me with this problem

    This is incorrect. "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. " means you have made a purchase and iTunes/Apple hasn't received the finds for it yet. hence the "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. ". This means you would need to either use an iTunes gift card to pay it off or another debit or credit card that is currently on the account.

  • App Store Access with Mountain Lion - Administrator only?

    Hi All:
    After installing ML, I noticed that I only have access to the app store when logged into the Administrator account.  When logged in through any other account, my app store has the message "Cannot Connect to the App store".  My internet connection is fine.
    Has this always been the case where administrators can only access the app store?
    Thanks!

    I've seen this too.  Sort of.  On my MBPro I was able to access the App Store with my user account to install updates after upgrading to ML.  On my iMac, it has been hit and miss, mostly miss.  The day I upgraded to ML I was able to install updates but it took several tries.  I attributed it to the servers being loaded down with the release of ML. However, I've not been able to access the store for three days now for one last install.  After reading your post I tried my admin account and it worked.  This doesn't answer your question but thanks for helping me out. 

  • Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate...

    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

    HI again Andy,
    The last message had some more stuff in between the "Hello" and "Regards" - I have no idea what happened to it. But nevermind...
    I started up the Mini with the modem in one usb, and the speaker system in the other (M-Audio Sonica Theatre) - I have one of the Minis that have only 2 USB (and one FireWire) ports. The firewire has the external drive connected to it.
    So far, as I"m typing this, I AM able to be online and use iTunes simultaneously. (both SaFari and iTunes respond slower than if I was using only one or the other, but they ARE actually working - in addition to having Adium running) - So I think what you suggested ( that is was something wonky was the USB hub) was a correct, yet assessment.
    Would you have any reccommendations for USB hubs? The only thing that I have connected to the hub under normal circumstances that would be constantly "running" would be the RadioShark (even though the Radio soft isn't playing - the blue light on the RadioShark is always on) - and the speakers naturally. Everything else is of the occassional variety - iPod Sync Cable, Dual Layer External DVD Burner, and a "pass thu" to the USB ports on my Hard Drive Enclosure (which had been unplugged before the problem was noticed). The hub I current use is the
    Kensington DomeHub USB 2.0 (7 ports) Weighted Hub 33118 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref= sr16/002-4275642-8664817?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187848108&sr=8-6
    which (I thought) worked better than the "throwaway" ones I had used previously.
    You think it is the hub or something connected to it that may be causing the problem?
    Regardless, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

  • How do I override the app store? A previous owner purchased iPhoto and now I can't accept/install on my MacBook Air.

    My husband purchased a previously owned MacBook Air for my birthday. The computer had been used a total of ten times (verified by Genius Bar, along with a full diagnostic scan). Everything is okay with the computer. After it was wiped and I created my own account, I no longer had iPhoto or iMovie installed. Went to the App Store to install, clicked "accept" and received this error:
    These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
    I understand that the previous owner must have purchased iPhoto and iMovie, but how do I override this? I'm willing to purchase instead of just "accept;" but I can't find where to do that.

  • App Store not responding (Mountain Lion)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having trouble with App Store after reformatting my MBP hard drive and restoring everything from a backup. App Store is unresponsive from launch; as soon as I open it, it goes to a spinning beachball, and Finder identifies it as "not responding." There is a spinning progress meter in the upper-left corner of the window, and all the App Store buttons and text fields are greyed out. I left it running overnight, with no apparent change; Activity Monitor shows it with low but constant level of CPU usage (~0.8%).
    History: I had to reformat my MacBook Pro's hard drive after somehow knocking loose a RAM chip a week ago. I reinstalled OSX, and then had to manually restore my Time Machine backup since my external hard drive also got damaged... It's really been a great week Specifically, I stuck the hard drive into a Linux desktop with a SATA cable, used tmfs to copy the most recent backup to a different external hard drive, then copy-and-pasted my home directory back onto my MacBook Pro.
    Current status: I just tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, with no luck. Because of all the copy-and-pasting through a Linux filesystem, a lot of my file ownerships and permissions are screwed up, but everything passes a Disk Utility permissions verification and repair. I have also tried deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore, with no effect.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    OK, apologies, but I already solved the problem (I think). Console indicated that the problem was actually that the App Store was trying to file a crash report from the previous iteration of killing the process with command-alt-escape, but didn't have permissions to write to the relevant folder (see below). The folder in question had been set to owner 'root' by Ubuntu when I recovered my broken Time Machine drive, so I changed the owner back to myself. App Store opens and operates normally now.
    I'm a bit puzzled as to why Disk Utility wasn't able to identify and fix the permissions on these system files and folders. Does anybody know why, and if there's a way for me to batch-fix all of my files that Ubuntu has switched to 'root'?

  • The app store says I haven't purchased any apps but I have

    Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me
    Basically my MacBook Pro's hard drive recently got corrupted and I had to get a new one. Most of my files were saved, thankfully, but all of my apps were deleted. I've tried to re-download them from the app store but when I sign in, it tells me that I haven't purchased any apps, which isn't true!
    My main concern is Pages, to be honest as I am a university student so having a word processor is kind of essential! And being a student I don't really have a spare £15 to buy something that I've already bought.
    I may have just used another Apple ID to purchase all my apps for my Mac, but I have no idea what that was, except for the fact that I probably used the same email address for the Apple ID I know and the one I don't
    So to make a long story short, does anyone know how to a) restore my purchases, or b) find my other Apple ID?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    And you are looking in the Mac App Store (not iTunes) under the Purchased option?
    Also, you are certain that you are signed on with that Apple ID to the Mac App Store (Store in top menu, then Sign In)?

  • How do I get iPhoto from the app store for my OSX Lion 10.7.5 Macbook??

    Hello,
    I have an older macbook which I was able to install OSX Lion 10.7.5 onto, and it works good with this setup.
    However I wanted to have the iPhoto app from the App Store installed on my Macbook, but looking in the App Store it says that iPhoto is compatible with OSX 10.9 or later.
    How can I get a version of iPhoto that is compatible with my OSX Lion macbook??
    Thanks.

    Install it from the computer's original disks or an iLife DVD(check sources such as Amazon or eBay if needed).
