App Store :: Mac-App Disappears Directly After Downloading
May 31, 2012
I had a demo version of djay 4 installed and today I decided to buy it from the AppStore. Before I clicked buy I moved the demo version to the trash, but didn't emptied it. I bought the app and it downloaded than installed. Immediatly after the progress bar was full the icon disappeared (launch pad). It's not even in the program folder nor can be found by spotlight (even if searching whole mac).
I tried deleting the cache of the AppStore, reverting the demo of djay 4 from time machine so it can be replaced by the AppStore file. I tried renaming the settings folder of djay and also restarted the Macbook, nothing helps. Sometimes the App Store says that djay 4.0.5 is already installed when it's clearly not, but what instance is telling that it would be?

Does anyone know if it is possible to download the Software Update files directly from Apple? Back when I used to work on Windows machines, I'd download Service Packs and burn them to CD, so I could avoid the time it took to download them for each individual machine that I set up. I would like to do the same for OS X. After a fresh install, there's always this 600+ MB file that takes forever to download. It would make my setup tasks and disaster recovery much quicker if I had the packages on CD.
When trying to download .dmg files through my browser (for example- when downloading the trial version of iWork on apple.com, or when trying to download the app from this site: http://postbox-inc.com/ ), my screen will usually say "thank you for downloading" or "your download will start momentarily," but the download doesn't start. I have this problem with both Safari and Firefox. Are any of you guys out there experiencing a similar problem? If so, have you been able to fix it?
I just made a clean Install, and I cannot reinstall Final Cut X that I purchased while running Snow Leopard. How can I get it back without buying it again ?

2) get the application in a hard format such as DVD?

I entered my payment info to purchase Aperture 3 from the Mac App Store and then expected it to download immediately. Instead, I am getting the spinning grey wheel. Not sure if payment was processed or what to do from here. I don't see Aperture in my downloads folder. Should I close out and start again?
I have a problem with adding new apps to my iPad. (This has worked before). With my Ipad I can search in the app store, choose an app, and enter my credentials for downloading or updating an app. After inserting my credentials, the new icon of my new app appears on the screen. On this moment an error appears, in dutch "Verbinding met iTunes store mislukt" meaning, "Connection with iTunes store failed".
- restart of the ipad (Home button and power button together until Apple logo appears)
- new appleID
- Contact with the apple support desk
- Email with the american support desk
- Connect to another WIFI connection point
- upgrade to the latest OS.
There is an internet connection, because Safari, and email are working fine on my iPad.

How to download SD video's from the ITunes store without making it complicated?
Right now, I am buying HD versions of videos so I can play them to their greatest on the Apple TV. I don't however want the HD version of the video on my iphone, SD is fine and doesn't take up huge amounts of space. Right now, I have to go the ITunes store on my iphone, search for the movie and then scroll to the bottom and click "Available in SD" and then click download.
Surely there has to be an easier way?! I should just be able to go to "Videos" on the iphone, and then download in SD, but it will only do it in HD and I cant afford to have a single file taking up 4gb of space.
Since I restored the permissions in my OS X Lion, since my mac wouldnt start, i can't use the mac app store anymore. So i deleted it from my system assuming it was possible to re-download it. It turns out now that i can't find a mac app store download anywhere. Only in an update package which i downloaded but this refuses to install because im on a newer os x version.(My mail app also is empty, so is my address book, all since i restored permissions, so i could use some help there as well)

Recently, I tried updating an app on my Macbook Air, specifically Red Crucible 2. I clicked update, it started downloading, reached 10 MB, then started downloading from the beginning again, and it kept looping. I have 23 GB free, so I'm sure it's not an issue with free space. I tried downloading other updates and the same thing happens again, it reaches 10 MB then starts downloading again!
An error occurred while downloading the app os x lion. Now when I go back to purchased apps and try to download, it just says "an error has occurred" and the download button is gray (not active). How can I reset it so it will download?

I just purchased Final Cut Pro X. All I see at the top of the window is a little spinning circle. No indication of how much is still left. Is this normal? When I purchase a song on iTunes it gives me a progress bar. How long should I wait?

I was trying to download bioshock the game from the app store and it gets about 75% through and then gets an error message "mzm.nvyhpxhw.pkg could not be extracted". I have tried many times and the same thing keeps on happening, what should I do?
I tried to download an app from the app store for the first time yesterday - Keynote - onto my MacBook Pro. I don't know the system details?The first time i tried, it said 'installing' for a long time, until I accidentally deleted it from the dock at the bottom of the desktop when trying to look for details. I went back to the app store and tried to install it again, and it has now said "waiting" for the past 24 hours, and the bar under the icon hasn't moved. I am connected to decent speed internet at a University, so don't think that is likely to be the problem.

I have 3 Macs within my family that I would like to upgrade to SL. Sounds like the Family Pack upgrade would be a great purchase.
However, if at some point, I want to reinstall SL on a SL-loaded machine, do I need to reinstall Leopard, to get Snow Leopard to recognize the upgrade?
