Why does App Store show i haven't bought mountain lion???

I've bought the OX X Mountain Lion and truly installed. But I enter the App Store again. I see the price tagged on the Mountain Lion software which means I haven't bought yet? At the same time, I check the Purchased page on App Store. I can't find any purchasing record either. Anything else I bought is showed up. Why??? Please help me to solve it. Thanks a lot : )

Same thing has happened to me. I purchased and installed Mtn Lion (on this MacBook Pro). I even installed it on my home Mac mini. However, when I went to the App Store, it was not listed it in my Purchases list, and it has a purchase price button on the Mtn Lion app page. I restarted the computer(s), signed out & back in w/ correct Apple ID, trashed preferences, asked it to check for unfinished downloads, tried on other computers (one w/ Mtn Lion, one w/ Lion installed)...nothing worked so far.
Then I stumbled on the answer...
Go to the top Menu bar > Store and click on View My Account (accountname), then enter you password. In the following dialog window, you should see listed Hidden Purchases under the iTunes in the Cloud section. Click on the View Hidden Purchases and the next screen should show Mountain Lion as hidden...simple click Unhide. It should now show in your Purchases list as well as offer Download button on Mtn Lion info page.

  • Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

    Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
    Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
    Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

    You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
    If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
    Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
    If on a computer:
    I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

  • Why does App store kep reverting to german?

    Why does App store on my Ipad keep reverting to german? Have treid sevreal times to change it and it does state on settings etc UK.

    The language of the two stores (iTunes and the App Store) aren't controlled by Settings and they can't be changed - they will be in the language of the country where your account is based (if they aren't correct then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in).

    Why does App Store always crash when I try to open the appliction?

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why my app store shows the update for other account which i don't know

    Why my app store shows a Itsy updates for [email protected]? I've no idea about what it is.

    That is her standard answer to this known problem. And it is not a bug!
    You have a pirated app that is from the MAS and the app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from an app acquired with this person's MAS account. Get rid of your pirated apps to get rid of the issue.
    Whichever was that last app that you downloaded for free from somewhere, rather than paying for it in the MAS, is likely the culprit.

  • Why does App Store icon show updates ready, but no updates show on update tab

    My home screen started showing that I had updates on the App Store icon, three days ago. Next day it showed three, then four and now it shows five updates, but when I go to Updates tab, I get just blank screen.

    There are a number of threads on this topic, not only for iPad but for iPhone as well. Appears to be an issue on Apple's side (not on our device). Not all users are being effected (I've had no issues whatsoever, for example). Nothing specific to this is reported on the Sytems status page (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/), so the general assumption is that you need to wait it out.
    You might try a search to see if there any possible solutions or steps needed to re-establish the link to itunes/app stores. Sometimes after this sort of outage there are some actions that help get you reconnected more quickly. not sure if that is the case with this one.

  • Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

    I have 14 Apps that have updates available.  I was able to update a few using my Apple ID.  However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
    I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
    I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results.  This is fairly new problem.  I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone.  But not anymore.  I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
    Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
    Thanks

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

  • Why does app store keep asking for sercurity code

    Why does the app store keep saying invalid sercurity code when I keep putting in the right code?

    Hello!
    It might sound strange at first, but it might be related to your cookie settings in Safari. To see if this is true, open Safari and proceed to the Safari prefences by clicking on the Safari menu - to the right of the classic apple-menu -  and choosing Preferences.
    Click the Privacy tab.
    Make sure your cookie-preferences are NOT set to "never" or "block always"
    Set to your preferred cookie option, restart your computer once, and see if your issue has been resolved.

  • Why does App Store keep opening on it's own

    It comes and goes, but when using certain apps that have ads ( for me it's usually my wallpaper apps) the App Store will automatically open like I had touched an ad.  It's usually a King game like candy crush or something, but I won't even have my finger on the screen at all when it does it sometimes.  It gets bad enough that whatever I'm trying to do at the time becomes impossible.  It will open app store, I'll close it by double tapping and going back to where I was, and it'll happen again within seconds.  It's getting really annoying.  Anybody have a fix for this?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Why does app store ask me to update apps multiple times?

    For the last couple of days app store's been asking me to update an app, I.e. skype, facebook, twitter.
    but when I do the update, the info is exactly the same as the update the previous day and the app hasn't altered in the slightest.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks

    Do a search for the apps that are asking you to update and see if there is any other app showing up in the spotlight search. Example is if you search for Twitter and see another app under twitter named something else. If you do see this, I would suggest deleting the app that is showing up and reboot your device to see if you are still getting the update badge.

  • Why does App Store open when I'm using twitter?

    The App Store opens when I'm using Twitter. Anyone know why this is happening?  What can I do to stop it?
    Thanks.

    You didn't say how cold it is where you are, but this might help answer your question.   It would also apply to just about any phone out there - not just your iPhone.
