Where is the app I just bought from the Mac App Store?

Hello there!!
My name is Dani G. I use the Pixelmator app a lot to make book covers, banners, story ads, and some other graphics for people on Wattpad, and I always use Pixelmator. When my 30-day-trial ended, I bought it from the App Store with my App Store gift card, and my money even showed that I bought it.
But when I installed it to my Mac, it just showed that it was downloading, then the app would disappear from my dock. I stared, shocked, so I tried looking for it in my Finder. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I kept trying to install it again and again.
I even deleted the old Pixelmator trial app I had, and it still wouldn't show up.
Whys is this happening and how can I find my purchase on my computer to start using it?

Try purchasing a free app from the Mac App Store and see what happens. Essentially it needs access to the Applications folder, so if you have experienced any permission issues with that folder, you may want to consider running Disk Utility and repairing the permissions for Macintosh HD.
If you think it's Dock-related, try dragging another item to your dock...either another application from Applications, or a folder right next to the Trash (NOT in the Trash).
Start with the basics, restart the iMac and check your Purchases in the MAS to see if Pixelmator is listed.

TS1424 iTunes skip the first two songs of the album I just purchased from the iTunes Store?

Why does iTunes skip the first two songs of the album I just purchased from the iTunes Store?
I previously checked that the download was complete. (Had plenty of time, but checked nonetheless it was done.) I have closed and reopened iTunes several times. Frustrated.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?

I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again? I have authorized my computer but none of them are in my music now.

You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

HT204053 I want to set up an iCloud account to replace one on the iPad I just bought from my sister

Please help me figure out how to change the I Cloud account on the I Pad I bought from my sister.

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.

I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not onclude synced media like apps and music. See:

I have an 2.4 Mac Book Pro. I want to wipe it clean and reinstall the Lion OS I bought from the App Store. I looked for instructions but did not find them any advice where the instructions are would be appreciated. Thanks

I am looking for help on how to or where I can find information on how I can clean my hard drive and then reinstall Lion, Thanks

Boot from Recovery HD upon startup hold-down keys Command R . Until you see the Apple logo then select language:English.click the Arrow (Next)
From the OS Utility, select Disk Utility then click Macintosh HD. click the Erase tab on the right side.
Format:Mac OS Extended(Journaled)
Name:Macintosh HD
And click Erase
Once Erase process is done, close Disk Utility and select the second option in the OS Utility which is Reinstall OS. Let it run. It should take about an hour to complete, this type os installation is internet dependent so somehow the completion of the process depends on internet speed as well.

ITunes can't locate the songs that I bought from the iTunes store on my new computer

I just got a new computer today and I backed up all my songs from old computer onto an external hard drive. When I sent my songs over onto my new computer and freshly downloaded iTunes, the songs that I actually purchased from the iTunes store won't play. It says that the item cannot be located.

Hello, brandma4.
More than likely iTunes was set to read the media on the external drive. If this is the case and the drive is not connected when attempting to play music, you will receive these alerts. The other possibly is that iTunes is not directed to where you placed the media on the computer. Here are the best troubleshooting articles that direct you on how to correct this issue.

I can't get my itouch and iPad to sync to transfer the videos that I bought from the iTunes store

I cannot get my iPad to sync from my iTouch. I went to the setup and they said it would work when I got on my own wifi. Yeah right, all of my videos purchased from iTunes are still on my itouch and not on iPad ?....

You can't sync from an iPod to an iPad (or vice versa). If the videos are not on your computer's iTunes then you can copy them from the iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and you can then sync them from your computer to your iPad (depending upon what country that you are in then you might also be able to re-download them directly on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app).

The iMovie 11 update I just bought from the App Store will not install on Macbook Pro

So I bought the update for iMovie yesterday and it seems to downloaded fine but when I click the install button it doesn't do anything. Can you guys point me in the right direction to get this installed
Thanks

You have a corrupted old system. At the very least you need to repair the hard drive and permissions before trying to install Mountain Lion. However, this my not be sufficient. You may need to reinstall your old system before trying to install Mountain Lion.
Of course it would be more useful were you to provide the full information on the error message and what OS X version you currently have installed. Also check that you can install Mountain Lion on your model:
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

How can i download an app that i bought from the app store but is no longer avalaible?

hi, i recently changed my iphon from 4 to 5 and when i try to re-install the apps i found that tubebox is no longer available on the app store. how can i get the app now?

First, make sure that sync automatically is disabled: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Then connect your iPad, do not sync, right-click in the left device pane: Transfer Purchases.
That should put it in your app library, & if a universal app, just sync it to your phone.

The home buttun on my iPod touch 5 generation stopped working , i just bought from de U.S. Store and I'm from Mexico, and i have to use the warranty

Help

Try calibrating it first. Go to a stock Apple application (ex. Stocks), hold down the power button until "Slide to shut down" shows up, then hold down the home button until it all disappears. You can use Assitive Touch in the Settings menu if nothing else works.

The Iphone charger I bought from the Sprint store just melted in my IPhone 5.

I got the charger about a month ago, and a few times it said "this accessory is not supported" but charged anyway so I didn't think there was a problem. I smelled a burning smell and looked over and it was completely melted. I have no idea if my phone is ruined because it was completely dead before I plugged in it. What caused this? Did they sell me a knock off?
The charger has a serial number and it's model A1265, which according to Google is an apple charger.

If it is an Apple charger, take it and the device to Apple.

Why would Tips From the Top Floor just disappear from the iTunes podcast store?

My favorite photography podcast is no longer on the store. I know the owner is still making them and. he didn't do anything to cause the change. Any idea what is going on?

I think there is or was an issue with iTunes Match and Genius not working well together. See this link http://www.ehmac.ca/archive/index.php/t-99076.html
I think there's a separate issue that Genius is not working with any songs released after around April 2011. There's a thread on that here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2744045 This issue came up last year as well, as Genius wasn't updating for anything from 2010-2011. Then one day it suddenly started going again. So my theory is it is something at Apple's end, flicking a switch, refreshing a database, not really sure.

Downloads just disappear from the specified location such as "Desktop" or "My Documents".They are untraceable afterwards.Why does this happen?And because of this I have uninstalled Firefox and now use Chrome.

I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
My problem started with the downloads.
1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.
