Why am I having to download GarageBand again from the App Store? It's already on my computer. Where is Drummer???

My MacBook Pro (which I purchased in August) already has GarageBand, but the app store is allowing me to download it again? Looks like I will have two GarageBands on my computer now? Is this normal?

- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

I'm having trouble downloading Mountain Lion from the app store with a long "waiting" time

'App' is damaged and cannot be opened. Delete 'app' and download it again from the App Store

I was trying to download some apps on my MBP. I tried downloading three different apps . All of them completed downloading successfully but when I tried to open them they failed and I recieved a popup saying that ' The '**** app ' is damaged and can't be opened. Delete the '**** app' and try downloading again from the Mac App store.' . I believe this has nothing to do with gatekeeper ( I've set it to 'anywhere' anyway).

Install the v10.8.3 combo > OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo)
Then restart your Mac and try opening the apps.

TS1702 i downloaded all the paid angry birds apps on my ipad but when i tried to sync them to my iphone i couldnt find them in my purchased apps section so i tried downloading them again from the app store but it says that i have to pay again to download

what should i do to fix this problem

Most, if not all, of the Angry Birds apps are not universal. The HD iPad versions won't sync to your phone, they are for iPad only. If you want the iPhone versions, you have to purchase them separately.

My daughter has downloaded free games from the App Store and I have been charged in excess of £200 and I don't know why has anyone had the same issue and if so how did you get your money back

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Bare with me...I need to explain the situation first.
I purchased an external harddrive and with the help of phone support, I moved some(most) of my itunes stuff to that hard drive. However, when I sync my iphone, it occasionally says something like..."did not sync song because it could not be found".
When I typed in the finder thing at the top right corner of my screen (spotlight?), I searched for itunes media. I found one file but it doesn't show me it's location. So I started looking (I'm still new to this) but I think I found 2 itunes media folders...1 on my imac harddrive and the other in my external harddrive.
After reading some of the online posts regarding downloads, I discovered that it is possible to redownload something you purchased before and NOT be billed again. I know that when I download an app in my iphone and then delete it, if I go to download it again, it tells me i already downloaded it and can download it again for free...so no problems there.
However, my interest is to greatly reduce the amount of "stuff" I have in my external harddrive as well as my internal harddrive. But before going into my external harddrive and deleting all 8 seasons of 24...which is something like 250gigs, I wanted to test the theory. So I looked for something cheap that I downloaded. I would then delete that and then go into the itunes store to redownload it again.
One thing I also want to mention, I read that there should be a purchased tab in my itunes store. Either I don't have it, or don't know where to look. One other thing I read is that it might be not available to me based on where I live. I live in Toronto, Ontario.
Back to what I did. I deleted an episode of Wallace and Gromit (kids show). Then went in itunes to download the same episode. When I checked my account information...it shows that I was just charged for that download...AGAIN! Now granted it was only $2.99...apparently this doesn't need to be the case.
So...going back to the 2 itunes media folders. I checked my system preferences and saw that itunes was set to save downloads here.../users/"my name"/music/itunes/itunesmedia. This folder is on my imac. However, the Wallace and Gromit video was on my external. So when I deleted it, I removed it from my external drive.
So here's what I have done so far...I went into the system preferences and proceeded to change the path to my external harddrive.
Now...before I go and delete something else...am I doing things correctly?
Also...what should the path be in itunes? I suspect it should be to my imac so that anything I download, downloads successfully to my internal harddrive...and then I drag and drop into my external...
I also want to mention that I have a time capsule as well. So basically...I want to keep my imac and time capsule free of as much media as possible...My computer and timecapsule each have 1 TB and I nearly maxed them out...I take alot of home videos with an HD camera...I had no idea how much that would add up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How do I get a picture to look like the audi example picture (2nd one) when you download motion 5 from the app store?

Im looking to remake this picture that is an example when you download motion 5 from the app store. Apple gives you 5 example pictures to kind of show off what the program can do and I want to replicate the 2nd one. I like how the picture is divided into multiple different sized boxes and I dont know the presets needed to make another picture like that. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the help folks, sorry I've been away.
I'd love help with the problem of why I only one track seems to accept clips to play. When I drag them to other tracks or create a track by dragging the clips are grayed out and won't play, but if I drag them to the one track where they're blue they play.

Unable to download Mountain Lion from the App store

Hi, when I try to download Mountain Lion from the app store I get the message, " The product distribution file could not be verified ... " Obviously I'm doing something really stupid. Advice welcome!
Thanks

A belated thanks for your help. I'd never have solved it otherwise. Maybe Apple could change the automatic reply that I got initially ("The product distribution file could not be verified ....") othewise they risk loosing customers.
Thanks again.

I'm trying to download Bioshock Infinite from the app store and get a message saying there isn't enough disc space; but the Bioshock support page says I only need 30G and I have 60 free on my hard drive

Whoops, I think I should have posted my message here...Anyway, I'm trying to download Bioshock Infinite from the app store but get a message saying I don't have enough disc space. The game requires 30 G and when I look at my internal hard drive it shows 60 G free.
What gives?

It means you do not have enough Space on your Device and need to create More Space on Your Device by Deleting some items off your device.

Tried to download a book from the app store and didn't upload but 14 pages

I tried to download a book from the app store from my computer and when I clicked on it, it downloaded as an app on my ipad, but only 14 pages downloaded. After reviewing the comments on this particular purchase, others had the same problem and now we are all out the $12.99 it cost to purchase this product. Is there any way to get my money back?

Delete the book from the iPad and download it again, directly from the iPad, not your computer. You will not be charged again for the download. See if the complete book downloads then. If not, either email Apple at the store or call the number they provide under support.

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

HT201272 I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store

I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store?

You can download the current versions of the apps from the store e.g. via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading. But you may find that the current versions require higher iOS versions than you have on your iPod - in which case have you not got copies of the older versions of those apps on your computer's iTunes or on a backup ?

Is there any way that I could get pages on to my iPhone without buying it again, through the app store? I already bought the computer software.
