What does the Mac App store mean for existing users of Aperture?

I was wondering how the Mac App store will affect existing users of the software. I have purchased Aperture and upgrades since its launch but because I've not purchased through the App store, how will I gain access to future upgrades?
When I go to the Aperture app in the store it shows as being installed but as I've not purchased it through the store, will I be eligible for future upgrades or will Apple expect me to purchase again?

There is no way Apple can update Aperture 3 without offering that update to every user, regardless of where the app was purchased. So, expect that Aperture 3.1.2 or whatever will be available to you in some fashion.
When the next paid Upgrade (to Aperture 4?) comes along, then we'll have to see what arrangements the offer.

How does the Mac App Store compare to MacUpdate Desktop?

So far I have been using MacUpdate desktop to keep ALL my apps up-to-date, a very easy process. With the advent of the Mac App Store I now have to deal with two processes to achieve that.
What do all think about the usefulness of creating a separate and closed update environment with the Mac App Store? Is this better? Or not?

MacUpdate Desktop will find updates to over 30,000 (and growing every day - MacUpdate is updated 24/7) Mac apps, screen savers, widgets, pref panes, and plug-ins. The MAS will only manage and update apps you have purchases from Apple through the MAS, and will not update non-apps (widgets, pref panes, screen savers, or plug-ins) and the MAS does not contain many popular commercial applications from major software companies. The MAS also requires an Intel Mac and Mac OS 10.6 or later - MacUpdate Desktop will run on PPC and update PPC apps too, on Mac OS 10.5 or later. You can easily browse and search for apps on MacUpdate.com, and then with a single click, have MacUpdate Desktop download and install any app of interest. The community support on MacUpdate.com - reviews and similar app suggestions - make discovering new apps fast and easy. Any apps purchased from MacUpdate Promo will also be displayed in MacUpdate Desktop, allowing you to easily download and install them as well. MacUpdate actively develops and updates MacUpdate Desktop and continues to add new features and benefits. Feel free to contact MacUpdate with any further questions - desktop<at>macupdate<dot>com.

Why does the Mac App Store invite me to install already installed software?

When I view Purchased Items at the Mac App Store, the button for some of my installed apps reads "Installed" but for others it reads "Install." If I click on the Install button for these apps I get a message that reads: We could not complete your purchase - [this software] is already installed on your computer. Choose Software Update ... to check for available updates." But, Software Update has nothing for me...

Still a puzzle after several hours...

Is the software in the mac app store checked for malicious code/ malware?

I was wondering how rigorously software in the mac app store is screened? Is it checked for malware and viruses?

Yes.

How does the Mac App Store work?!

Hey guys i recently posted this quesiton in a different area of the community but instead of being helped was just ridiculed for posting in the wrong place... +1 for helpfulness guys :/ lol Anyways... ive been told to ask in the development section.. I have a $9.99 app and it was sitting at 10th place in the top grossing apps a few weeks ago on the UK app store, now I noticed in the morning that it was ahead of an app which was 49.99 so i presumed that I must have sold at least 5 or 6 to be ahead of him (my idea of top grossing is quantity x price) but when itunesconnect released their reports in the afternoon it turned out that i'd only sold 1 copy.. so what im asking is basically how does the top grossing section work? and how regularly does it update? is it live? daily? etc
Thanks in advance!

Your rank is better than the other app because you've made a sale while they've made none. When you make a sale, you jump in the charts, and after that you slowly go down if you don't make another sale. In other words, the bottom of the charts has many apps that didn't make any sale recently. I've also noticed that if you make some sales in other countries than the current chart, that'll very slightly improve your rank.

How does the Mac App Store detect what it believes to be installed?

I had a trial for Transmit on my machine prior to purchasing it on MAS.
Despite the fact I have it showing as purchased in the App Store app, I can't install it as it also believes it to be installed. Searching for files containing the name Transmit returns no results anywhere on my drive.
The trial copy is gone now, I removed the plists and other stuff too in the hope MAS would detect its absence, it doesn't.
Any tips/pointers on how I can install my software? I spoke to Panic directly, they're insistent the fault lies with Apple.
TIA :-)

What version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard is installed on your Mac? You are describing misbehavior of the MAS that was in the first version that was installed with Mac OS X 10.6.6. The misbehavior of listing apps as installed that were not acquired through the MAS was corrected with the MAS installed by 10.6.7. We now are at 10.6.8 with the newest version of the MAS.

Why does the Mac App Store default back to the first page of results?

When I search in the MAS for any app and there are more than one page of results, while I am browsing pages 2 and up when I select an app to look at and go back to the search results (either by swiping on my trackpad OR clicking the back button) the list of pages defaults to the first page of results. Is this a bug or is there some setting somewhere that I can change to make it work right??

This is a user forum; whether or not anybody at Apple sees this is not known.
You could log a feature request with Apple via the bugreport tool, if you have access to that tool.

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.

HT4481 i have purchased a APP from the app store in itunes, it s air nav pro and was downloaded on the the ipad. now i tried to log in in the mac app store and searched for the app but it does not recognize my purchaes ! any ideas? i dont want to buy it a

does anyone know what to do ?

The apps in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices, iPhones, iPads, etc. The apps in the Mac App Store are for Macs. Apps for iOS devices do not run on Macs. Apps for Macs do not run on iOS devices. Your purchases in the iTunes App Store will never show up in the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store. They are two different versions of apps for two different operating systems. If a developer has developed a version for both platforms they must be purchased separately.

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!

Getting Error Message when trying to use Software Update in the Mac App Store...

Hello,
I was wondering if someone knows what this error message in the Mac App Store means. I am trying to run Software Update by clicking in the Apple Menu however, I am not able to see my available updates and instead get the following message on the Mac App Store:
I have tried to fix the error by deleting both the Mac App Store Caches and plist files in the user library and made sure that I am properly logged into the Mac App Store with my personal Apple ID.
What else can I do?

I've been having the same issue. It was all fine until yesterday when I was searching for updates.
Since when have you been seeing this error message?
Last time I checked for an update was about 2 weeks ago and there were no errors reported. However, today I wanted to update iTunes to version 10.7 and decided to use the standalone installer rather than the SU version. Still, I decided to run the MAS Software Update function in order to ensure that my computer had all its software up-to-date and then I get this message. I don't think that me installing iTunes is to blame. Probably, it could be an internet connection problem on Apple's end I am still submitting a bug report to Apple.
Now one question, who is your ISP (internet service provider)? In my case I have Comcast and I am in Florida.
Thanks for your reply!

4. Complain about the availability of the store in prior operating system updates.
5. Complain about the setup of 10.6.6 or later to get access to the Apple Store.
6. Complain about the compatibility of an application you bought from the store.

You can certainly enquire how to prepare your machine for 10.6.6 to avoid issues of upgrading.
Note, this is just a user to user forum with people vollunteering who have technical knowledge which may differ from yours.

iTunes is not the Mac App Store.
In your dock it would be this icon:

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?
