Windows 8 and User Rights - Access store but not install other programs

Hi, I wonder if someone can help,
I am trying to find out if it is possible through Active Directory to set up a group policy so that a user will be able to install apps from the windows store but be unable to install any other applications. I have seen that the store can be enabled or disabled
from windows server 2012, but have yet to find out if this is sufficient to allow store installs but no other external applications.
THanks

Hi Jon,
In addition to Martin’s reply, regarding Applocker, the following articles can be referred to for information.

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
Can I simply download it and not install?
What if the App gets updated before I download it?
Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
Thanks.

There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it and save to do later?

I'm getting the free Lion download for new Macs from the Mac App Store, but am not ready to install it yet. It appears that apps (including Lion?) from the App Store automatically install themselves. Is there any way to save an App Store download (.dmg?) for later installation without having it automatically install? I asked Apple Support via chat, and they said it could be installed later but couldn't tell me how.

The Lion download is different than small apps. What you get with Lion is an installer. But be sure to make an extra copy because after using the installer it deletes itself.

I need help ASAP, edits are showing in PS, but not in other programs

I hope someone can give me an answer. In only one folder, I have edited JPEGs that show edits in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop, but not in Windows Explorer. I discovered this when trying to burn them on a disk. Is this something related to a setting in Bridge and is tehre a way to fix it so it accepts all the changes. Thank you!
P.S. I am using CS4

Uh huh...that's to be expected unless you actually opened and processed the images through Camera Raw and Photoshop. All you've done to this point is edit the metadata settings, not the actual pixels. To see the final edits in other apps, you'll need to process the files and resave them as completely edited files. Bridge will properly diaply the metadata edits...but nothing else can.

Why am I continually being asked my security question on my banking application when I use either Windows XP or Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.13 but not on my Windows XP system with Firefox 3.6.3?

I have three computers, two run Windows XP. One of the XP systems has Firefox 3.6.3 and the other has 3.6.13 installed. The banking application login acts normally with Firefox 3.6.3 but each banking login requires the security question answered with Firefox 3.6.13. This happens on both the Windows XP system using 3.6.13 and the Windows 7 system using 3.6.13. Testing Internet Explorer on all three computers does not show the same problem with the security question.
I am unable to trace this starting with any particular Firefox update due to initially thinking the problem was with the banking website.
The login webpage is https://you.usersonlnet.com/asp/USERS/Common/Login/NetLogin.asp

I believe I've solved this issue by carrying out the following action:-
First cancel all “send and receive” operations in OutLook. Next remove all emails from your "Outbox" (by either deleting them or moving them to the “Draft” folder). Next shutdown OutLook and then click on the “Start” button on the lower left-hand side of the Window’s taskbar, then click on “Run” now type in “regsvr32.exe inetcomm.dll” without the quotation marks, so it looks like this:
regsvr32.exe inetcomm.dll
Note the space between .exe and inetcomm.dll and hit “Enter” on the keyboard.
The computer will execute the command. If all goes well in a few moments a dialog box will appear and state “dll registered successful
I have not had it hand since ... cross fingers ;)

UbikReader update in App store but not installed on Macbook Pro

I have an update showing as available in the App Store (UbikReader, by UbikLabs), but I have never installed this application on any of my Macs. I have used both Spotlight and EasyFind to search my macbook for UbikReader & UbikLabs -- and nothing is found.
If I click the Update button next to the app, it will autofill the credentials for the app it would have been downloaded with ([email protected]). A quick google search shows that this account has been compromised and the password is floating around on the internet. I'm assuming someone/something attempted some sort of an install but it never completed.
My question is this.... if I don't have the app installed, I can't delete it; without using the widely available credentials, I can't Update the app to remove the notification... How can I remove any left-over from an application that doesn't appear to have been installed on my cmputer and/or my account? I would like for it to stop showing up as an available update in the App Store.
Thanks!

I found the solution for my issue in a similar post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21055428#21055428. The recommendation worked for me and the App Store is no longer showing an available update for UbikReader. Thanks to seventy one for the recommendation/fix!
"You could try reindexing your HDD. The MAS uses the Spotlight indexing in determining what apps need updating. Go to Systems Preferences / Spotlight/ Privacy; add your Hdd to the list then remove it from that list. Spotlight will then reindex your HDD."

AirDrop and Firewall - works one way, but not the other

This is strange:
I have AirDrop on two computers and each of them 'sees' the other (on the AirDrop radar).
When I drop a file, it tells me that it's waiting for the other computer to accept it.
On the other machine the dialog pops up and asks if I want to save the file.
This ist all good.
When I try this the other way round, I do not get the dialog to save and finally the sending machine expires.
When I switch off the firewall on the receiver that does not accept files, it works flawlessly.
However: the other machine has the firewall enabled all the time, and receiving does work there no matter what.
This is all bad.
Somehow the firewall seems bugged. The gui does not allow for a lot of experimenting and I am not very good at the console.
Can someone tell me how to get the firewall to be on and still be able to accept files via AirDrop?
"ipfw flush" did not help.
Thanks for the help!

It's the firewall settings. It seems like a bug, because in the firewall I had Finder set to allow all incoming connections.
Do the following:
- System Preferences, Security, Firewall, Advanced settings
- Remove the entry for Finder by selecting it and press the minus button
- Check allow signed software
- Uncheck block all
It's working for me now.

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I just paid the $9,99 a month to have access to Photoshop and lightroom. I am having trouble installing the programs and when I installed on Photoshop it said "trial"- this isn't suppose to be a trial but a resource I pay for monthly for a year right?

What turns the trial into the live software is signing in. If you sign in with the Adobe ID that has the subscription, the trial becomes live. First check your account on Adobe.com to make sure that the subscription is live.

I downloaded the 30 day free trial of Photoshop on 9/11, but have not been able to open it, or even find it on my computer. I do have the Adobe Create Cloud icon, and when I click it it list PS as downloaded and lets me access tutorials, but that is all.

Please let me know how to open and use PS.

Hi Homerguy,
If you are using Mac, please open the finder window click on go and choose applications and try to launch Photoshop from there.
If windows, please navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and double click on the Photoshop.exe file.
Thanks

unable to log into iMatch using Apple Id and password. Msg says i have valid Id for store but not iMatch. What to do?
Is there a way to reset iMatch username and password?

An Apple ID which consists of a non-Apple address can perfectly well be used to create and sign into an iCloud account (most Apple ID's take this form). Your problem is that you can't create an iCloud account on Windows: you can only do it on a Mac or an iOS device. Once created on one of those you can sign into it on Windows using the iCloud Control Panel.
