Why do I get the 'You have no purchases' when I obviously have?

When I select the Apps icon on the taskbar and get the Apps window, I select Purchases.  I then get the message "You have no purchases"!  Is something switched off I haven't clocked?

Hello, RedandBlackstripes
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
If previous purchases are not showing in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store there are a couple of possibilities.  These Apps were either purchased with another Apple ID or these Apps are hidden.  Here are a couple resources that will help you check for other Apple IDs and if these are hidden.

Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps

To view hidden apps, choose Store > View My Account, enter your Apple ID and password, click View Account, and then click View Hidden Purchases. To show a hidden app in the purchased apps list, click its Unhide button.
Cheers,
Jason H.

  • Why do I get the message "iPhone Not Available" when trying to make calls from my Mac even when both devices are clearly on the same Wi-Fi network?

    I am using a mid-2010 Mac Book and the iPhone 6.  I can't imagine that it is due to the age of my Mac because if it was disqualified, then we would not get the option to use it to take calls.

    I get the same message and stating that both the iPhone and Mac must be on the same network, which they are.  I was able to call from my iPad through the iPhone on the same network I'm using for the iMac and iPhone.  I've tried several settings configurations on the iPhone but to no avail.

    CS1 ownership is understood to also qualify for the CS2 download/installation, so if your machine meets the requirements for the software (check System requirements | Photoshop) I cannot think of a reason for you to be denied access to any of the programs in CS2 made available thru the following page - be sure to use the correct special serial number provided.

  • Can someone please help me figure out why I keep getting the "can not reach server" when I try to download the ebook? This is happening with Adobe Digital Editions.

    When I try to download the ebook I bough, the Adobe Digital Reader shows the following message: "can not reach server".  Can someone please help me with this?
    TO be precise, it says "licensee server communication problem"
    Thank you

    The thread running through your explanation has to do with connectivity to your server. (iCloud out of the blue asking for password, unable to message your boyfriend, unable to access e-mail). You said that you boyfriend restart his device and then the two of you were able to then imessage. My best advice for you would be to go to settings to reset to reset network settings. Once this has been done you then will need to enter the name and password of your wifi. ONce this is done you then can attempt to check to see that all passwords are enter correctly.
    Good luck.

  • Why am I getting a "Problem With Previous Purchase" when I haven't purchased anything?

    Sometimes, quite randomly when I open anything on my iPad or iPhone and try to update an app or something of the like, iTunes asks me to verify my billing information. It gives me the reason "There was a problem with a previous purchase." And asks me to enter my security code on my debit card. When I do, even though I have plenty of money in my checking, it tells me I was declined and refuses to let me update anything.
    I don't understand where the previous purchase problem is coming from, seeing as I have made no recent purchases.
    This happens quite often and after several days of entering it again and again it will randomly work and everything will be back to normal. Later, at random, it will happen again and this whole process will repeat.
    Please help me understand why this keeps happening.

    How fast is your G-Drive? Safest for video work is 7200RPM. It must be connected via firewire to work reliably with video applications.

  • HT201328 why do I get the message to enter passcode? what is this?

    Why am I getting the message to enter passcode when I first turn on my phone? What is a passcode? Never had to do this before.

    If you created a passcode during the setup after updating to iOS 7, that could be why you are seeing the passcode request. Do you recall creating a passcode after updating to iOS 7?

    Why am I getting the following error message? "You can’t open the application “Microsoft Word” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  I never used to have a proble!

    Only Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks. Microsoft support for the former package ended in April 2013. If you do not want to spend the money, you might download and try the donation-ware (free) LibreOffice Suite. No ribbon bar crap. Supports about any document created on Windows.

  • If I tunes indicates that I have 4.29GB free on my 4S, then why do i get the message that it cannot complete the sync because of inadequate available space?

    If I tunes indicates that I have 4.29GB free on my 4S, then why do i get the message that it cannot complete the sync because of inadequate available space?

    Not the case.  There is a sync issue.  I tried to un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). as suggested in another thread, but cannot remove the music from my phone (in an attempt to free up space as you intimated.)

    Why do I get a norwegian version of MUSE when all the other Adobe programs are in english version? I have setup the installer to English.

    Muse uses AIR and if that is installed in Norwegian, so Muse will show stuff in that language. You may simply need to reinstall Adobe AIR in English.
