Why do I have to buy an application twice? Once before the App store and now after the App store has the same application - Aperture

I have Aperture on my MacPro that was purchased before the App store was born. IT has been updated to the current version now. I also put it on my MacBookPro but it won't accept the same license - says it is invalid license. When I go to the App store, it says I can downlowd it for another $79.99, but if I try to do that, it says I already have Aperture on my laptop. So, I am stuck in a catch 22.

Nevermind. After reading other similar posts I think I figured it out. I'll have to delete my version of Aperture on my laptop and then reinstall from the App store - although I think I will still have to purchase again.

    If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app.   That will dispose of it.

    It may be that it is stuck loading. You will want to probably first attempt a Hard Reset (Home Button + Power Button for 5-10s until it restarts with an Apple Logo then let it load up) and see if this will get it working.

  • IOS 6: Upgraded 4s to the new OS and now videos within apps like Pulse and Safari have no sound. Checked notifications and options, restarted phone, still no go...

    I upgraded to iOS6 last week, and everything seems to be working well, except for audio playback within certain apps. I was wondering if this is in any way linked to the removal of youTube from the standard software. Within my news apps and Safari, I have absolutely no audio playback on videos. I have refreshed the 4S, restarted, and checked notifications, but no progress has been made. However, the sound is just fine elsewhere, including the youTube app, which I downloaded to troubleshoot. As of right now, if I search for a video within Safari, and it links to an embedded video, I get no sound whatsoever. If I pull up the same video within the youTube app, the sound plays just fine. Any ideas?

  • Why should I have to buy a bulky space black band I do not like (Hate after trying it on) to get the space black stainless steel watch

    Apple is going to lose a lot of sales over forcing you to buy combinations you do not want.  I went to the store to try one on. LOVED the space black stainless steel watch but the band that is attached to it is atrocious, bulky, heavy and uncomfortable.  So, if I want this watch I have to waste $499 on a band I hate and buy an accessory band I do like.  Well, I went in with every intention of ordering one.  Now, eh, I'll just wear the comfortable one I have.  Poor, poor choice to force bands on people.  I have six iPhone six's in my family, I got to choose, seven MacBook pro's of varying sizes and age, four iPads of varying size and age, and the new 5K iMac.  Now, the most personal item ever made is well, not very personal if I have to wear a bulky, uncomfortable band.  

    This is a user-to-user help forum. There is nothing that anyone here can do to help you. You could find the Apple feedback page and tell Apple in which case there's a chance that something might be done

    You purchased and Upgrade copy of Acrobat which has this requirement instead of a Full copy of Acrobat which does not have that requirement.  You need to go back to your Reseller or Adobe and explain that you purchased the incorrect version.

  • TS1702 i have purchaced many apps from the app store, and now after updating my phone to iOS 6, the apps sitting in my library in iTunes wont transfer to my phone anymore? Says that the apps can not be found. The appstore says i have no bought apps either

    I have previously bout about 30-40 apps from the app store. After a recent update to the newest version of iOS (and a reset back to factory standards), i find that i cant put any of the apps from my iTunes library, back onto my phone!? When i try, it says that the apps location cant be found!?  I tried going into the app store and in the app section going into 'Purchaces', in the hope that i could just re-install them from there (because i have already paid for them), but in there, it tells me that there are NO apps in my purchaces list!?  This is quite concerning because i have spent quite a bit of money on these apps, that now seem to be un-usable?!   Ican still put all my music on my phone through iTunes liuke normal, but Podcasts are doing the same thing as the apps?! Can someone please help me, or suggest what to do because im really getting frustrated.  I really like my iPhone, but if this is what is going to keep happening, i think ill change to an Android phone. . . . .

    Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
    Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
    Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
    Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
    If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

  • I have a iphone4 i updated it today to 5.1.1 and now i cant hear out of the earpiece

    i cant hear anything from the earpiece after i updated to 5.1.1

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you've been through ALL of these steps and you still have problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

    iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
    I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
    iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
    Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

    So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
    So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
    So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
    I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
    I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

  • Why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion

    why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion.

    As far as I know the only people not having to pay for Mountain Lion are the ones that have purchased a apple computer after the 4th of june or something. These people get a free upgrade. All others will have to pay for a copy of Mountian Lion.
    Do you maybe have a source, which states that others don't have to pay for it, where people that have bought Lion do have to pay?
    With kind regards,

  • HT204370 why did i have to buy the movie again if i allready bought it?

    why did i have to buy the movie again if i allready bought it? i want my money back

    You can't get a new DVD, which is what RG said. VUDU, the download service Walmart resells, is a different subject and not what RG was referring to.
    But what some other company can allow is irrelevent to the issue. From the iTunes Store, movies can be re-downloaded only in the US, and then only from those movie studios that have allowed it. This is not by Apple's choice; it's completely the choice of the movie studios.If your movie is not available under the Purchased section of your iTunes Store account, then redownloading is available only if you purchase the movie again.
    Regards.

  • Why do you have to buy the same app on all devices?

    If you have multiple apple products like iphone, ipad, mac..ect. I understand the different versions of the OS but still, I would think they'd have a bundle price or something. I've had to rebuy the same apps over and over. Is there any way around this?

    Some apps are universal, most are not.
    As provided, these are entirely different platforms.
    Just as you would have to buy a movie twice of you wanted to watch it on a dvd player and a vcr.
    You would have to buy the same video game twice if you wanted to play on a Wii and a playstation.

    You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
    You would have to live in the U.S and physically be located in the U.S in order ot use the U.S tunes store.  The same is true for each countrys itunes store.
