What good is the App Store in Lion

Why do I get the "Waiting" every time I try to down load on my MacBook Pro ? The app never down loads, or are these only for the iPad ?

It really depends on the apps you're trying to download. Have you checked in downloads?

On your iPad tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package

The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package. Any thoughts? Obviously I cant download it again as the app store says it is installed. I cannot find the package on my mac, when I try and search for it!!

Hi Hugh,
Once you download Lion from the app store you still have to install it. Its located in your Applications directory.

Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?

This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
Thanks for the help

OK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
- Open the AppStore Application
- With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
- You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
- Download the install package
- Do not start installation
- In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
This is how you can create installation media.
For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
Lion or recovery partition.
Hope this helps!

What games from the app store can i buy & play on 13" macbook air???

Hey i just got a new 6/2012 macbook air and love it.
just wanted to get some games for it.
and ive gone to the app store, but alot of the good games require certain graphics cards etc...
can anyone tell me what games i can download and play?? as its not very clear.. all it says on spec is intel 4000.
which i know is the new chip/cpu etc..
im keen on playing games like jedi outcast 2/knights of the old rep. sims. etc...

Don't play any games on your MacBook Air. Use that for your seriuos endevors and just purchase a cheap Windows Samsung or Dell for $500 bucks and use that. Or pick up that Google crap Adroid with a new OS every week for $150 bucks and use that.
But keep your MacBook Air free from any garbage.

Cant download App's from the App Store after Lion install???

Everytime i go to the app store to download an app ( Evernote or Soundcloud) i click the app and click the green install button but then nothing happens, the little wheel in the top left just goes round & round & round & round without it doing much. I dont even get the app in the dock!! Does anyone know if this is a wide spread problem or just an issue with lion???
Cheers

Hi there geagarde,
If you are experiencing this on an iOS device, you may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
iOS: Force an app to close

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you are not experiencing this on a iOS device, let me know what operating system you are using (OS X or Windows) so I can provide you with a better resource.

Whats happening to the app store?

I can't stand it anymore! After upgrading my new iPad to iOS 6 the App Store is really slow, takes too long to load and its all buggy, sometimes I touch an app and it opens another, like the touch is locked in that place and wherever I touch it opens that app... Also, scrolling is awful, not only on the App Store but n other apps too, I don't know if its only happening to me but I'm starting to get angry with this, already restored 3 times And it didn't solve it...

Same problem here - dowloaded from App store three times - three re-starts and still no sign of 10.10.2, furthermore the installer is not showing in the Applications folder!
Fix!!
I have just downloaded the 10.10.2 update (for 10.10.1) from the Apple site, so I expect that the App store will now stop reminding me that there are updates to install!!

HT1338 I cannot download from the app store Mountain Lion to my MacBook pro 17" why?

hi I keep getting the message "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." Yet my macBook is from mid 2007. Any surgestions?

Well if the store is telling you it is not compatable it must be seeing something. As your system is right at the lower edge, mid 2007's are the first modles shown supported. it is possible that you sysm might have been manufactured before the cutoff date.
Go to About this Mac and then System Report post all the info for hardware overview except for serial number and uuid.

What time does the app store deliver gifts if you're not in the US?

Scheduled a delivery date for a gift. But I need to know what time the gift will reach my friend's inbox.

The reason is licensing - artists/record companies/TV networks/movie distributors all have separate licensing deals in different countries (or no licensing deals at all). It isn't mysterious or secret.
The only way around this is to have an iTunes account in the other country - either a valid credit card with billing address in that country, or an iTunes gift card from that country (though you'll still be asked for a billing address in the country for which you've purchased the card).

What Lion version & Build # is in the App store now?

I originally downloaded Lion to upgrade my 2010 MBA. I have both a 2010 and a 2011 MBA.
When I previously have tried to (re)download the installer to my 2011 MBA, I kept getting the error message that "this version of Lion can not be installed on your computer" (paraphrasing). This was perfectly understandable, since 10.7.0 Build 11A511 is indeed incompatible with the 2011 MBA.
I have been periodically retrying, in the hopes that Apple would eventually upgrade the App Store version to be usable on my 2011 MBA (so I could make my own COMPLETE re-install drive).
Today, I tried again to download the App Store version of Lion on my 2011 MBA. Success!
This leads me to beleive that the new download is updated. If so, is there anyone who knows the version and build number this is?

10.7.2 build 11C74 was the first GM build to include support for the new MBair and Mac Mini.
This is what is in the app store now.
Regards,
Captfred

Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I downloaded through the App Store Mountain Lion. Everything is working great except that the App Store app. I keep getting "Cannot connect to the App Store" error message. Is it possible that it's still too much traffic on the servers or a bug in Mountain Lion? App Store worked fine before obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get Mountain Lion. I tried trashing the plist and cache.db several times and still no go. Anybody else have this problem? Help!

This seems to be a bug in the OS. After days looking for an answer, I found one that will probably help those of you that, like me, tried just about everything else that has been suggested in the forums:
http://b.rthr.me/wp/?p=356
I came back to this forum, being one of the latest dealing with this issue, to share this. If it works for you then please do what I did and share it in some other forum on this issue to spread the word.
Apple please fix this bug in the OS !!!

Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

Hi, couple of things to try...

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store. I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are. My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade. Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution. Here are the steps to take:
1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left. If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase. You know what to do.
3. There is also an option to reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy. Select "Remove All Website Data." Just do it.
5. Launch the app store and sign in.
6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
I hope this helps. Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

App store said Lion installed but 'about this mac' is still 10.6.8

Dear Apple,
I purchased the Lion last night and when I woke up this morning, the App store said Lion installed but when I check 'about this mac', my imac is still in 10.6.8. Tried the software update and reboot, it is still the same. Is there an option to redownload and install Lion again?
Regards,
HK Guy

go into your Applications folder and double click the Install Mac OS X Lion.app.
it will start the install from there

Installs on the App Store

I have accidentally clicked a button on GarageBand to install all the instruments. I do not want to do this but now everything i check for updates on the app store (mountain lion) it wants me to download it, is there anyway I can delete this install from the updates.

I understand that you can delete the App with App cleaner or whatever you favour but you cannot delete the purchasing record. Neither can you delete the update. Nor will Hiding the app prevent announced updates.
