When you download an app is it downloaded when it fully loads or when you click buy?

Hi Guys,
I was wondering:
When you download an app does it count as a download when you click
buy app or when it fully loads?
Thanks

There is nothing anyone else here can say. None of us work for Apple, and only Apple knows exactly at what point they register the purchase for the purposes of the contest. All we know is what Apple states in their official rules:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/25-billion-app-countdown/rules/index.html
and they don't say exactly when the purchase is recorded.
Again, you'll just have to take your best shot.
Good luck.

  • When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

    When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
    How do I proceed?  How do I identify which is "default text?"

    What version of iPhoto are you using?
    Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box.  If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
    If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.

  • When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

    I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
    Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
    My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
    The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time  Please Help.G
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Yes, you're safe to continue.  That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed.  That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin.  Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
    Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
    Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

    Please explain what you mean by "Buy for a 2011 card" and what you did before you saw that message.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • Attemptimg to "buy" the Student edition of Acrobate XI Standard. When I click "Buy", nothing is displayed to continue my purchase.

    On this page https://www.adobe.com/au/products/acrobatstandard.edu.htmlhttps://www.adobe.com/au/products/acrobatstandard.edu.html
    When I click Buy for the student edition, the small box it is located in changes only the icon for acrobat, the message that Purchase requires verification of academic eligibility and a small x in the top right is displayed. I assume there should be text or a button to continue my purchase however none is displayed.
    I have updated Java, and have tried in both the latest version of Firefox and Chrome.
    PS, Is the student edition free? No price is listed.

  • At the App Store, when I click "Buy App", I get a dialogue that says "Distribution file cannot be verified or is not signed." I'm unable to purchase and download the upgrade.

    When I try buying the OS upgrade at the App Store, and click "Buy App", I get the message "Unable to complete your purchase. Distribution file may be damaged and cannot be verified or is not signed."

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • Getting error message when I click "Buy Card"

    Every time I try to click "Buy Card" I get an error message:
    +A connection could not be established at this time.+
    +Please ensure your network connection is active and try again.+
    I tried both wireless and wired hook up to the internet and still nothing. Other pages open fine. I also cannot sign in to iPhoto's Photo Services with my Apple Id but I can sign in via the store. The iPhoto page says error opening page. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That message usually is due to problems at Apple's end. How long has this been happening? If it's only 1 day give it another day and see if it clears up.
    You can try logging into your account at the Apple store and re-enter all of your information, save it and try again. Sometimes that will jump start it.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • When I click 'buy' next to a song, nothing happens and I am unable to make purchases. Has anyone had this problem?

    In the Itunes store, for some reason it is not letting me complete a purchase when I try to click "Buy." I am not sure what the problem is, because my software is up to date, and I've always been on the same macbook. I also made sure I was signed into my apple account, and I was. Any suggestions?

    Hey there - just a few minutes ago suddently I experienced the same problem.
    However, a couple of months ago on December 1, 2012, I purchased/downloaded Prometheus (Movie) no prob.
    Anyhow, here's how I resolved the issue: (restarted after each download/update)
    Originally running OSX 10.5.8, iTunes 9.2, Safari 4.0.5, Quicktime 7.6.4
    Then, in effort to fix, I downloaded/updated from the apple website "iTunes 10.3" - Didn't solve my problem.
    So then I downloaded/updated from the apple website "iTunes 10.6.3" - Didn't solve my problem.
    So then I downloaded/updated via apple (menu) software update "Security Update 2011-4" - Still nothing.
    So then I reinstalled iTunes 10.6.3 - Still didn't solve my problem.
    And then finally, when I downloaded/updated via apple (menu) software update "Safari 5.0.6" - Resolved it!!!
    So now I'm running OSX 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, Safari 5.0.6, Quicktime 7.6.4
    Hope that helps!

  • On Facebook when I post a comment it shows up twice. Also on Ebay when I click "Buy It" the next page shows 2 separate entries for the item I bought.

    On Facebook I'm able to delete 1 of the duplicate posts.
    On Ebay after I click "buy now" & go to the next page I find I have 2 of the same item to pay for separately.
    This happens about 50% of the time.

    I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

    I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
    I hope you'll post here with your results!
