It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

  • Why does my app store say payment method decline

    why does my app store say payment method decline when i down load a free app

    Are you using a debit card?  I read somewhere that debit card are not being accepted by itunes.  Go to settings/itunes & app store, tap on the ID there then on view account, log in and check payment details to see if they are correct.

  • Why does my App Store say all my apps are up to date when they're really not?

    I'm in the process of updating my iPod touch 5G to iOS7, and before I do so, I would like to update all my apps to their current versions. However, no updates are showing in the App Store; it says they are all up-to-date when they really aren't. I had about 13 apps to be updated. Is this a glitch as a result of the Apple Store being increasingly optimized for iOS7? I haven't even updated to iOS7 yet; I'm still running 6.1.3. I can manually search for some of my apps in the App Store and update them way, but that's too much of an convenience. I'd like them all to be in the Updates section. Can someone help me out with this?

    Mine was doing the same thing, open the store and go to updates and the screen will then refresh and tell you Itunes terms of service have changed.  You'll have to agree to the new 54 pages of terms to get any updates

  • Why are egreetings telling me I need Adobe flash player when I have already downloaded the app?

    Why are egreetings telling me that I cannot view a card because I haven't got Adobe flash player when I got the app from the store recently, I am new to the iPad and being a silver surfer I could be doing something wrong. Please help.

    There is no Flash Player for the iPad. I don't know what you downloaded, but if it was from the iTunes Store, it wasn't Flash Player. If you search this or the Using iPad forum for "flash", you'll find a number of suggestions as to alternatives to Flash Player, such as Puffin, but whether any will work with the card site you wish to use I can't say; none of the solutions work with all sites.

  • Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
    Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
    For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
    Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.
    regards

  • HT204088 how to I find out the most recent deductions to my account from the app store (say, for a recent download for additional functionality on a iPad game)

    How to I find out the most recent deductions to my account from the app store (say, for a recent download for additional functionality on a iPad game). Much as I try, I can't seem to get to see my account in enough detail to see what I have spent downloading apps to the ipad.

    You need to punch in the passcode for any purchase right, not just for new apps??
    If one of the other students, or anyone else, got access to your iTunes Store account, necessary to make any purchases, then they'd have all the information they'd need to also make in-app purchases. But an in-app purchase can only be made through the account through which the original app was purchased. Either your son bought the game (free or paid) and then shared it with someone else along with the account information (necessary to authorize the app on someone else's device), or someone else downloaded the game as well, not just made in-app purchases.
    In any case, changing your iTunes Store password should now have cut off any such unauthorized activity, though of course if your son gives the new password out, you'll be back to square one.
    Regards.

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    Apple doesn't answer questions here. Everyone here is a user so we wouldn't know about why there is an issue with your account. If it is a bank card, then you need to check with the bank.

  • The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package

    The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package. Any thoughts? Obviously I cant download it again as the app store says it is installed. I cannot find the package on my mac, when I try and search for it!!

    Hi Hugh,
    Once you download Lion from the app store you still have to install it.  Its located in your Applications directory.

  • I am trying to download an app that needs 501 MB and my iPod has over 1 GB, but the App Store says that I do not have enough memory left.

    I am trying to download an app that needs 501 MB and my iPod has over 1 GB, but the App Store says that I do not have enough memory left.

    Do you have a question?
    That sounds right.
    Most apps require more than double the size of the app available in order for installation.
    Make more room.

  • HT5622 Why is the App Store declining my active Visa card when trying to download a fee app?

    Why dose the App Store keep declining my Visa card when trying to download free apps? The card information is accurate and there is money on it? It's driving me crazy!!!

    Is your card still in date? Is the info Apple have valid?
    i.e. have you made a purchase recently on the app store that was all OK?
    I tried to download an app on my phone the other day using credit that was already applied to my account from a voucher. It asked me to update my card details (which I didn't have on me) which was frustrating as I wasn't even paying by those means!
    In the end I went home and downloaded it from my computer and it was all OK. If you have itunes on your comp, try downloading through that and see if you have any joy that way.
