Where to most Mac App store "would like to see someone develop"

Where do you post such things:
Not sure where to post this other than in this topic hoping that developers might be looking here.
Now that Dataviz discontinued MacLink Deluxe, there are no good apps to convert old WriteNow (one of the early Mac word processers) into a modern format. Sure MS office "kind of" works, but I would defenitely buy an app that only converted (similar to MacLink) old WriteNow 3 and 4 documents into either rtf or doc formats that can be used today.
Sorry if this is not the place to post such a thing.
MacLink was good, but had way to many complicated, bloated options. It would be nice just to have a simple app to convert this old format. Maybe alternative apps of this kind could then be purchased to convert more of the file formats that MacLink converted. I think you would sell more of an app that just converted one older file format, however.

Besides, if you dont' ask, how do you know if anyone else is interested.
At some point, someone probably asked, "wouldn't it be cool if there was a Mac App store like iTunes for the Mac..."
Absolutely!

  • Apps I would like to see! and Flash please!

    I know Flash is coming to web os and I am super excited as I hope to play farmville on my palm!  But...They should make an app for farmville like they do on the iphone. I am wondering if using flash is going to end up consuming much more data than an app would, and many carriers no longer have unlimited data plans.  So please make a Farmville app!
    Would also love to see apps for Digital pets and Career Builder!
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

    not sure you're going to see flash before WebOS 2.0, so don't hold your breath. looks like they are doing all the good stuff for that patch....

  • About The Mac App Store?

    About The Mac App Store? is it doing well in Business, like do a lot of people go on it & buy & download Free Apps? cause I Worry what if it will be like if we had no Mac App Store like we used to? then I Would never be able to really find anything good if Apple did not come up with Something Papular to find Games Apps & other apps, I Go on Mac App Store & i look at Reviews but it is not up to today's date, very few of them have up to today's dat Reviews & Some don't even have any Reviews & some only have 1 Review in there that is up to date, it looks like Apple Mac App Store is Dead? or there just not Accepting Reviews?, so is The Mac App Store doing well? or is it ready to go out of Business? I Love The Mac App Store, I do buy things on there, last thing I Bought was FlatOut 2 & I Left a Review, if there was No Mac App Store then it will be Hard to find App's, they made The Mac App Store to find Apps more easy if we go back the other way then it would be hard to find Apps & that would suck, like it used to, we had to go through a Whole List to find something, that was the old way around I do have a Suggestion, I think they should make the Mac App Store for PC Microsoft Computers & name it The PC App Store even though i'll never go back to Microsoft PC Computers, i'm sticking with Apple iMac Computers from now on, so what are your Opinion on The Mac App Store? I Never have any trouble at all on My 2009 24inch Apple iMac computer, all The Apps that I Buy on The Mac App Store work Excellent  on My Machine & The Mac App Store works Excellent as well, I buy a lot of Car Racing Games on The Mac App Store & Some other Apps I Buy on The Mac App Store are not all Up To Date, I check MacUpdate they say a New version is Available but The Mac App Store has the low version on some Apps, I see there falling behind on some things, so what's your opinion on The Mac App Store? & they don't Update there Twitter page often? but I see there still putting New Apps on The Mac App Store every day, I Hope things don't go back the old way again? just wondering what will happen in the future for The Mac App Store?

    If you're a developer with proper access, you can read this document: http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/checklist/
    Title: "Get your mac apps ready for the mac app store"
    It covers all that's needed to modify in your application's package in order to submit it and have it work with the Mac App Store. Apple's new framework (similar to an API) for the app store is the "AppKit" framework.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You should have received two mails from Apple. One with the key you need to open the file with the code and the other one with the file that contains the code. If you haven't received the second mail, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    Free trials are not available through the Mac App Store.

  • I purchased djay on the Mac App Store, but I would like to transfer it to my iPad. Is this possible?

    I bought the djay app for my MacBook, but now I wanted to transfer it to my iPad. I was just curious if this was possible? Cause I don't really want to have to pay for it again. Thank you!

    Hello,
    Sadly you can't do that.
    The App Store in iTunes is for iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) and the Mac App Store for OS X.

  • Where is the redeem option on Mac App store?

    Where is the Redeem option on Mac App Store?. I would like to upgrade to OS X mountain Lion through up-to-date program

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    If you have signed up for the up-to-date program, Apple will send you two emails. One has a secure pdf document with the redemption code inside. The other email will have the password to open the secure pdf. Once you have the redemption code open the Mac App Store, sign into your account, go to the Features pane and you will find the Redeem link in Quick Links on the right of the pane. Click the link and follow the on screen instructions to use the redemption code and download the 4+ GB Mountain Lion installer.

  • Where is my download from Mac App Store

    I just purchased Logic Pro 9x from the app store, and unfortunately, it did an install, which I did not want to happen...anyway just a few questions:
    1. Typically where are the downloaded files incase I need to install again for some reason
    2. Typically where are the collection of instruments that downloaded when i started the program
    3. I was under the impression that I would run Logic 8x and Logic 9x separately. Is this not the case?
    4. Am I to assume that once I purchase something from the App store, I can download it ANYTIME I need to....forever?
    Sorry for the questions that might seem obvious to many of you. I am a Windows user, who only turns on the Mac Pro to do music.......
    Thanks in advance for your help...!

    Most apps from the Mac App Store (MAS) are downloaded and installed as a drag & drop app into the Applications folder. There is no further installation needed and authorization of the purchase is authorization of installation.
    Large apps may be downloaded as an installer app that appears in the Applications folder and opens automatically soon after the download completes, however it proceeds no further in the installation process without your authorization to do so. You may elect to quit the installer and run it later. These installers often self-delete after they have completed the installation. If you wish to install the app again, you will need to either make a duplicate of the installer before you run it the first time and store it or redownload the installer as needed in the future.
    I believe that if you right click over the app's icon you will see a contextual menu that offers Show package contents as an option. Choosing this option should reveal that the app has associated folders, typically plug-ins, presets, etc. The instruments may be in one of those folders.
    Usually a new paid upgrade to an app does not replace the previous version of the app. So Logic v8 and v9 should be able to exist as individual apps in the Apps folder. But there is no guarantee that OS X would not become confused by this or that the apps for some reason may not try to share their associated resources. A minor update, however, ( v 8.6 -> v 8.7) does replace the previous version.
    Apple constantly tells folks to make back up copies of their apps because there is no guarantee that an app will always be available for download in the future. And the app available in the MAS is usually only the most recent version. Previous versions then become unavailable for future download. And newer versions may be restricted to only run in the most recent version of OS X.

  • Hey Guys I Wanted To Know How Do I Change The Download/Install Location Of Apps I download From The Mac App Store Bac To The Dock Like In Snow Leopard?

    So Every Time I Download From The Mac App Store (In Lion) It Always Pops Up And Downloads/Installs In The iOS Feature Thing, So How Do I Change That So It Doenloads/Installs Straight 2 The Dock Like In Snow Leopard?? lol
    Specs...
    Macbook Pro (Early 2008)
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB RAM (MAXED)

    Actually it does because the Dock is Snow Leopard's program launcher. For Lion, LaunchPad is the program launcher, not the Dock. Don't like that? Here's where you complain. Otherwise, you asked and I answered.

  • Any Mac App Store apps like CleanMyMac ?

    Are there any apps available and downloadable from the Mac App Store which is at least equivalent to CleanMyMac in terms of functions and effectiveness ?

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this sort of stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most users don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Mac notebooks that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    Use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” “running periodic scripts,” “dumping log files,” “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems. They're not for preventive maintenance.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Where is the redeem Quick Links section of the Mac App Store?

    where is the redeem Quick Links section of the Mac App Store whe trying to download OS X mountain lion?

    Yep, I'm clueless again. You have to click on the "A" App Store icon on your Mac to get to the App Store. I had thought that I could get to the App Store thru the Apple Store. Silly me. I had to go to the local Apple Store to get some guidance.
    The App Store icon should be in your toolbar at the bottom of your screen or you should be able to find it somewhere on your Mac. Then I tried clicking on Purchases like the Apple store guy said but my Lion purchase didn't show up there. Then I tried Categories and found Redeem there and maybe downloaded Lion for my old MacBook there but I haven't found it on my MacBook yet, so will have to do some searching. Oh, I had to go back to Purchases to do the download although the Redeem page said it was downloading Lion. Supposedly downloading now. Very annoying, this process is. Even Mickysoft seems easier to update.

  • Mac app store isn't showing on dashboard - where has it gone?

    My mac book (OS 2x) shows that its software is uptodate but there is no "Mac App Store" on my dash or in the Apps folder. I don't know where it has gone but I'd like to upgrade the OS to Lion & don't seem to be able to do this without going throuh the Mac App Store... any ideas?

    If you're running Mac OS X 10.6, run the 10.6.8 combo updater.
    If you're running Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, purchase 10.6 on DVD.
    OS 2.x is for iPads and similar devices, not Macs.
