Why the Aperture 3 in app store as installed when it is not?

I have Aperture 2.1.4
I bought this in 2009 when bought my Mac Book Air as preinstalled software.
I looked at the Aperture 3 app for download but it is displayed as "installed" which I am not.
Does that mean I will have to pay extra to obtain my upgrade version through the normal channel and I cannot obtain through Apps store?
Is anybody in similar situation as me not able to get the latest Aperture 3 through the Apps store because we have Aperture 2.1.4
Regards

I'm thinking you would just uninstall AP 2.1.4 following the directions at the bottom of the page for 'Removing reciepts and reinstall Aperture' here (but not reinstall):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
Note - I would suggest removing the Preferences file as well.
There are also tips for upgrading your AP2 library at this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3945
As well as the bottom of this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518
Note - I don't have experience with the Mac App Store version of Aperture 3 since I have the boxed version, so there may be something I am missing (as in removing all trace of the program prior to installing AP3?).

  • App Store in French when I am not in France!!

    I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 6 and found it that it has automatically changed my App Store language to French!! I live in Middle East with the address at App Store of India. Where is it detecting the non-existent French connection from??? Can anyone tell me how to change it bak to English?

    Launch the App Store app. Tap on the featured tab (first tab bottom). Swipe down to your Apple ID, tap on it. Tap View Apple ID (first in the pop up window). Enter your password. Tap on Country/Region (next to the Flag). Make the change in the next screen.

  • App Store shows INSTALLEd when it isnt...

    I just reformated my iMAC HDD after a crash and installed the OS nice and clean
    When I click on APP store - all the games show a prompt to "INSTALL".
    The one program I really need says "INSTALLED" and is grayed out.
    It cant be installed cos its a fresh install... on a wiped disc..
    Whats wrong?
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    It cant be installed cos its a fresh install... on a wiped disc..
    Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click iTunes/Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: *Reset Warnings* and *Reset Cache.*
    Make sure you aren't loggin to iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / View My Account - Sign Out
    Launch the Mac App Store. See if it still says Installed for that program.
    If it does, you can contact the MAS Customer Service here.

  • Why CC Panel Show Muse CC as installed when it´s not?

    That´s what´s happening. I don´t have Muse and any trace of it neither but still showing in CC Panel as installed and up to date. And in consecuence I can´t install Muse CC. Please help!!!!

    Deryck:
    I recv'd the following from Vikas Sharma with Adobe which you may find helpful:
    This is an ongoing issue with Adobe Application Manager which causes it at times to not sync with Adobe Muse when it is uninstalled. I see that Adobe Muse is also not listed as a program in your Programs and Features window to uninstall any remnants of the same.
    Please use the following link to download and install the latest version of Adobe Muse for Windows: http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_win
    Please try the above suggestion and confirm if this helps fix the issue. Look forward to hear from you.

  • Why am I told Bing is already installed when it does not exist on my computer????????

    I removed Bing from my computer as I did not like it much. Since Google has now become such a useless piece of junk I decided to re-install Bing but each time I try I get the following message.
    Quiote:
    Firefox could not install the search plugin from "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/54407/bing-20090601.xml?src=category" because an engine with the same name already exists.
    This engine does no show up anywhere on my computer except for an XML file in Firefox/searchengines. I have deleted them but it makes no difference. The files do not show in Tools\addons nor in about:config. Please don't tell me that Firefox is become as useless as Google...............I don't want to have to use IE.

    Bing should be installed as one of the default search engines (bing.xml in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder)
    If the file is there and you do not see it in Manage Search engines then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default search engines.
    If that didn't help then delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks

    why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks?

    Sorry no mind readers here so you have to tell us details, context and any error messages - just stating an abstract problem that could have thousands of causes is not enough
    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what has changed since it worked? How are you trying to open it (clicking on the icon in the Dock, double clicking on the application in the applications folder, ???)?
    Anything else you can tell a total stranger who can not see you or your computer to let them assist you?

  • I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

    I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

    The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
    That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    Same problem here in Brazil.
    It seems to be a problem with logging in App Store in the Mac (Yosemite 10.10.2).
    When I tried the very same userid and password I was able to login in to use my iCloud account from the same computer and also from my iPhone.

  • HT203421 Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work

    installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work properly. Applications show up in the App Store window to be updated but in fact most of them do not download and install. Some 3rd party software does download and install but most Apple and HP Applications do not. They appear in some cases in both the Ready to update or install list and in the "Installed in the last 30 days list". In some cases when I click on "Update" it shows in the "Installed in the Last 30 Days list" but it is not installed.  In the case of the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 beta down load, it momentarily show up like it is downloading but then disappears and does not install.

    I am now using Yosemite 10.10.2 and am trying to install the beta Download Yosemite 10.10.3 hoping it will resolve my problem but starts to download from the App Store snd then quits.

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

    If you go to System Preferences > Network do you see other networks listed on the left panel?  Is the lock in the lower left corner closed?  If not, highlight your network, then close the lock so you block other networks.

  • Why does the South African App Store have so little apps. And why are they no games?

    I live in South Africa and the App Store is pathetic. There are no Games at all. Why is the U.S App Store SO much better? I feel like I wasted my money on my iPad.
