Why must I pay to repurchase GarageBand in the App Store when I had it preinstalled on my computer?
I've been a long time GarageBand user and when I upgraded my old MacBook to the Mid-2012 MacBook Air 2 years ago I was happy to find GarageBand already pre-installed. Just recently I found out that an upgraded version of GarageBand is available. I just think it's silly to pay for something I've been using for years... Any way to get around this?
Currently running GarageBand '11 Version 6.0.5 on OS X Yosemite.

First of all, you do not need to upgrade to the new GarageBand 10.0 version. Your current version GB '11 is working well with Yosemite.
The newest GarageBand 10.0 is a very different GarageBand version and not a free update but a major new upgrade. It is more like Logic than the previous GarageBand version and offers new features like Midi Draw, smart instruments (drummers), arpeggiators, amp designer.
Other features have been discontinued, like Podcasts or sound effect instruments.
If you want the new GarageBand 10, you have have to buy it. It is only free with a new Mac.
If you decide to buy it, don't uninstall your current GarageBand, because you may want to be able to use both versions. GarageBand 10 can use the loops and instruments from the previous version, and you may need them to be able to open your previous projects.

Why has dr.web light ben removed from the app store
Why has dr.web light ben removed from the app store and from my shopping list?
Same issue but I'm still on my 5c. I originally thought the issue was due to it's new link to game center so I could be pushed ads like with how crazy taxi is now. Or at least requiring being online to use.
Im wondering if it's even worth paying for a game when eventually it will be turned into the freemimum model anyhow.
I hope someone has an answer for this. -
The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it. After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading. Is there a special, non-app store place where I am to go for this?
Also, I installed MacKeeper about two-three months ago and am questioning its performance. Looking for input as to whether or not this application helps or hinders my system.I'll back up Csound on the MacKeeper thing. In fact, I actually wrote the following about it:

Remove is ASAP. Do not use the provided uninstalled, as there are widespread reports of pop-ups advertising MacKeeper on your system after incompletely removing it. Try this:

As for VirusScan, Barney is right on the money that it does not come preinstalled on any Mac shipped new from Apple. However you have gotten it, your best bet is removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information that will help you understand and avoid Mac malware without relying on anti-virus software.

Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store?
Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store? Every review that is longer than 6 lines has three dots, indicating more, but nowhere to click to see the rest of the review.
Thank you. I only saw the word "More" on one review of one app that I looked at, and I knew to click on that. But many reviews of several apps had three dots at the end of the sixth line without the word "More". And it was obvious there was more written because it was, for example, left in the middle of a sentence.

TS1702 Why am I not able to connect to the app store. I'm on wifi.
Why am I not able to connect to the app store. I'm on wifi.
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -

Why should I "Sign in to download from the App Store"
Why does this pop up on my screen: "Sign in to download from the App Store" when I am NOT trying to download an app or anything? It interrupts my work, and looks questionable?

Thank you thomas_r. I did what you mentioned, and in System Preferences, it said: "The App Store keeps OS X and apps from the App Store up to date." I did not realize that OS X updates are now being done through the App Store, so I updated preferences so OS X updates will automatically download. I hope now I do not get these sign-in messages, and my computer stays up to date!
i have my App Store set so that nothing is automatically downloaded, and I have never gotten the type of popup you mentioned. Depending on your system, you could end up with unwanted upgrades by using the automatic setting. The App Store recently updated EVERY instance of Evernote on my Mac Pro, rendering it unusable on two io the drives. There are a few updates that you might not want at all, such as iTunes 12. Setting it on automatic gives you NO control.
It is a fairly dumb updater. I was able to retrieve an earlier version of Evernote from a backup, but was not pleased at the behavior of the update process. Even Adobe's updaters aren't that bad. -

10.9 is free, so you could upgrade to that if you wished
if that's not an option for software compatibility reasons, you'd either need to re-install it from the original disks (that came with the computer, or a seperate iLife disc), a backup, or purchase a boxed version from someplace like eBay or Amazon (Amazon has iLife '11 for $39) -
In the App Store, when you go into top charts then free column there are free apps but also payed ones
Which apps are you referring to ? If Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto and iMovie then they are free to people who have activated a device since 1st September 2013, and have iOS 7 installed on the device.

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.
Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said. -

Because all content that you download from the iTunes stores is coated with your Apple ID.
