Update iMovie - Store wants to download full app, not an update package
I want to update iMove from 9.0.1 (purchased via the App Store) to 9.0.2 (because we are getting an audio sync problem on exported movies for which this update says it has a fix). From the web update page I downloaded the iMoview9.0.2Update.pkg and got a 27.5MB file but, on running it, it says I have to update via the App Store. But the App Store wants billing information and then starts to download a 500MB+ file which is presumably the full application so I immediately stopped the download because I am in a remote area on a low-speed satellite connection with a 3GB monthly limit.
Am I stuck with downloading the full 500MB+ file by going through the App Store? Was I about to be charged for the app again?
Thanks - Cathy.
It appears from my recent experience that updates are a full new version of the app in question. So after it verifies your account as the one who "owns" the license to use the app, it will not recharge you for the app, but will then allow its download. This is good for you because it means no one in your household can be willy nilly using your download allotment without your knowledge to update apps if they do not have access to your iTunes/MAS account information.
You may want to check the size of installed apps before proceeding with the update so as to stay within your download allotment in a given ISP billing period.

Software Update
If you have Keynote 6.1 installed and working; ignore the update message, there is no need to download it again it just a minor bug in the update system.
not opening Keynote files
Most problems are caused by trying to open version 6 files in the version 5 application.
Right click on the Keynote file select open with and choose Keynote 6. -
When i want to download an app in app store give me an error number and i could not down load.how i can solve this error number?
Hi Amir.09395340646,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What app are you trying to download? Is it iPhoto for iOS? What error message are you receiving? The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Store account on your iPhone. Then restart the device and log in again.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
If the above did not resolve your issue, follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below.
The link includes the complete details and screenshots, but I've highlighted a few points for you:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
- Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
- Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
- Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
- Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
- Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
- If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
I hope this information helps ....

Someone else bought an app on the store on my new computer. I had already purchased the app before on my old computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again through MY account. When I click INSTALL it asks for ID, but it shows up automatically with the other person's ID, so I delete that and enter mine instead. I then click SIGN IN, but then it says "Unknown error", then I click OK, then it says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get rid of all info of other people's IDs so I can get the app through my account again?
The app that I'm trying to download actually might have been a pirated app. But I deleted it, so why is it not letting me get it through my account?
Please help!
Thanksyou may delete this discussion. I fixed the issue

How do I download an app I previously had on an older device, not utilizing my cloud or itunes backup. I want to download the app as new as if I had never had it before. When I go to the app store, it only gives me the option of downloading from the cloud with the cloud icon?
When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

If I want to download an app for me in the App Store, will be shown on the screen: ´´Error 1004 - Please try again later.´´
From the article cited at the end of my post:
Error 1004 and 1013: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to default on Windows. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

I want to download an app on to my mac that is on my iPod but it ask to pay for it again. What do i do so I can get it without paying again?
If what you previously bought is an iOS application, ensure that you’re signed into the iTunes Store with the Apple ID you used to buy it, or sync the device with an iTunes library which contains it.
If what you previously bought is a Mac OS X application, you can’t. The developer needs to create the two versions separately and may choose to charge for both.
