Why cant i re-download xcode 4 for snow leopard from the mac app store?

i reformatted my mac's hd and didnt back up applications that i bought from the mac appstore cause its easy to re-download, so im trying to re-download and instal xcode for snow leopard the one that you purchase for 5 dollars

Been trying about 2 weeks now to get the xcode 4 for snow leopard that I purchased for $5 installed on my new macbook pro but I get the same error.  After several frustrating calls and emails the final verdict from Apple was either contact the developer and get a copy (uh Apple right?) or you just can't install it since they've removed it from the App Store. They said just upgrade to Lion but I can't upgrade to Lion on my work machine since well Lion brings down our NAS.  So I'm totally hosed on this one.  Apple should not force us to move to Lion.  That's not right.
There isn't a version of Xcode on this machine so there shouldn't be any conflicts.  I REALLY need Xcode 4 installed and this is really frustrating because I already paid for the thing.

  • Cannot install XCode for Snow Leopard from the Appstore.

    So... I reinstalled OSX, mainly for the fact I wanted to... but now I'm trying to reinstall my Apps from the App Store, specificly XCode4, which is now titled "XCode for Snow Leopard" in my purchased apps... But I cannot download/install it. I get an "This is not available error" followed by a Error 100...
    Apple tech support is being utterly useless for this. Any ideas?

    Xcode ( 4.1.1) on the AppStore is now only for Lion.
    On the Developer Portal you can still access the freely available 3.2.6 package even without being a paying Apple Developer ( need only a Apple-ID to connect to the Mac Developer Portal for normal Users ) . 4.x was a paid app, so it is not accesible for average users from there nor from AppStore.

  • Downloading Mountain Lion from The Mac App Store.

    I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion for my Imac from the Mac App Store. If I put my computer to sleep, the download stops, can I put my Desktop to sleep or will the download still stop?

  • Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

    Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

    I am a paid member of the developer program, and Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard does not appear in the downloads area. I just joined today and received email confirmation, but perhaps this update to my account has not worked its way through to Apple's back-end yet. Nevertheless, it appears that Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard is not available any more to anyone, whether they are paid members or not.

  • 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.

  • I deleted an app downloaded from the Mac App Store, Mac App Store is showing an update for deleted app.

    I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year.  Its not a pirated copy or anything.  I deleted the app cause I never used it.  After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app.  When I click update, it just re-downloads the app.   Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it.  I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely.  How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks

    Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

  • About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

    Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

    You can change the settings in Security & Privacy to "Anywhere"...
    That should work... as to whether the printer driver will work, that's another question.
    Good luck,

  • I baught an app from the mac app store and it is damadged but I cant delete it and download a new one?

    I baught an app from the mac app store that is damadged. When I open the app it says to delete it and redownload it, but when I open the launch pad and hold down on the app there is no x beside it. I also cant drag it into the trash.

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

    I traied to remove cookies and still don't working.

    Regretably, none of the above solutions has resolved this problem for me.
    Whenever I try to perform updates (in my case, Xcode and iPhoto both want to update), I receive the following error:
    An error occurred during purchase.
    (of course, I am not trying to purchase anything, it is a free update)
    If I press Retry, the above repeats until I press Cancel, then I see:
    We could not complete your request.
    There was an error in the App Store.  Please try again later.  (20)
    I have been "trying again later" for three weeks now, with no resolution in sight.

  • Can't download from the Mac app store

    Hi, 
    I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Anytime I try to download an app free or paid from the mac app store it goes to my doc but it doesn't download it just sits there and says it's waiting. also when I have an update for an app I click on it and enter my apple id and pass to update and nothing happends.  the store worked when I first got it and then one day it just stopped.
    how can I fix this? Do i have to reinstall the app store? I am running the latest version of snow leopard on a core i7 macbook Pro (early 2010) I also checked my firewall settings and nothing is blocking it from working.
    Thanks

    Then I would first try trashing these files and folder;
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it and save to do later?

    I'm getting the free Lion download for new Macs from the Mac App Store, but am not ready to install it yet. It appears that apps (including Lion?) from the App Store automatically install themselves. Is there any way to save an App Store download (.dmg?) for later installation without having it automatically install? I asked Apple Support via chat, and they said it could be installed later but couldn't tell me how.

    The Lion download is different than small apps. What you get with Lion is an installer. But be sure to make an extra copy because after using the installer it deletes itself.

  • I get the message "Install Adobe Flash" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store. This is the first time I have gotten the message. What do I need to do?

    Hi Sandra,
    you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
    Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy.  There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:"  The default selection is 'Mac App Store'.  Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".

  • ""Install Adobe Flash Player.app" can't be opened because... not downloaded from the Mac App Store"

    I jsut upgraded to 10.9 and it is up to date and also my safari is up to date (no updates available for it). My safari is saying that my flash is out of date. when I follow the links it lets me download but when I double click to install it tell me "“Install Adobe Flash Player.app” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.". When I install the flash UNinstaller and try to install that, it tells me the same. I ALSO found the exact same problem when I tried to install the acrobat installer (some tried to download a pdf and the page told me that my acrobat reader 'might' be out of date). Any thought?

    You're running up against the GateKeeper.
    Download the offline installer: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X) by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As".
    Mount the DMG and when it opens, right click the installer and choose "Open".
    You'll see a warning. Click "Open" again.
    It will run from there.
