I first noticed this red circle with a 1 in it and understood from scanning the Discussion pages that it referred to an update pending for one of my downloaded apps. Sure enough, this was the case and I updated the app. However, the red circle is still there with a 1 in it. If I open the app store, the number disappears from the icon, but once I close the app store, the red circle comes back, still with a 1 in it. I have only ever downloaded three apps and none of them are for online games, which I gather can cause the appearance of such a red circle. how to get rid of it?
My mail icon on the sidebar has a red circle with #'s in it even though I have read all of the mail. How do I get rid of it so it only turns up red when I have new mail?
i tried several things like zapping the PRAM, open firmware, and taking out RAM. also took out my pci wireless card and usb card. nothing helped, but eventually it booted up. i thought that the hard drive was probably dead but i couldnt boot off a tiger install disc when i tried.its been having problems starting up everyday since then. sometimes it will boot with the circle spinning and just stay there. other times it will boot with some junk on the screen and the restart message underneath, boot up with no spinning circle, or have the apple change to a circle with a slash through it
All of a sudden a notification badge has appeared on the Apple Store icon on my MacBook Pro dock. While it seems there is an update for an app that I once downloaded, there is no indication as to how I can download the update.
The app store icon has the little number 1 on it referring to an iMovie update which unfortunately I can't download because I don't have the latest OS. Why doesn't the little number disappear after I try to update and get told I don't have the right OS? Is there some other way to get rid of it, or will I live with it for the rest of the life of my MacBook Pro?
I installed weather simple app, the app will not open and there is a red dot on my App icon. I tried to move it to the trash and it says it cannot be moved cause its open.
I tried to open my mac app store a few days ago but a question mark showed up on top of the icon, than the icon just disappeared and now I can't find it anywhere. How do I get it back?
I moved my App Store Icon into my Trash quite some time ago. I tried to restore it, but haven't been successful. I get this message: "You can't open the application App Store.app because it may be damaged or incomplete." I can't get it back through my Apple icon in upper left. It's not there. I can't find it through Finder. My software is up to date.Â
My operating system is Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. I don't know if that means I have Snow Leopard or not. I do not want to upgrade to Lion because it will cause previously purchased third-party digital scrapbooking software to quit working. How do I get the App Store Icon back? Everything I can find about getting it seems to be driving me to Lion. I can't even FIND the App Store anymore.
just upgraded to snow leapard and got new app store on my dock but bought some apps and do not know how to load them to the iphone. I usually would sync them through itunes but they are not in there.
How do I get rid of the red badge on my App icon in the doc? It's there to tell me that a new version of Aperture is available. However, this version won't download because it works only with Lion, so the annoying badge persists. How do I remove it?Â
How I made it appear there I dont know. I followed Mac's website advice on keeping the ".ds_store" files from being created again but am still left with an icon on the desktop. If I put it in the trash, it reappears, with a copy left in the trash. If I try to put it into something else, a message pops up saying it "cannot be replaced because it is invisible."
I was mailed a .sitx package with a font-testing app (I�m having trouble getting certain fonts going in order to use a Norwegian-Chinese dictionary on my PB, and one of the people involved in the project mailed me the .sitx and asked me to check out the fonts and mail him a screenshot).
I unstuff, then get a new icon on my desktop, called FontTest.sitx.cpgz. The icon is a white sheet of paper with a zipper.
When I then double-click on this new icon, it just unarchives to give me a new sitx - a sort of version II of the original file, this time called FontTest 2.sitx.
After updating to Snow Leopard, I get the spinning circle thingy no matter WHAT apps I'm running every 5 mins or so. I've tried rebooting and everything - anyone else having this problem? If so is there a solution?

I then tried alt boot up... the screen shows mac hd and network connection dropdown. I choose the network and press on upward key.. nothing happens. When I tried a safe mode using shift key it shows the error ....

ive tried resetting safari and even restarting the macbook but i dont know what can be causing it.

I recently just purchased a new macbook less than a week ago. This is also my first mac that I have ever owned. I just noticed today that when I turn the brightness all the way down, or when I go away from my computer and my screen turns black that there is a circle in the middle of my screen which I can still see what is going on in the background. Its not like its bright but you can still notice it.
I'm reinstalling OSX Lion and I got as far as Command- R and the computer restarted and has been on a blank screen with a circle with a line going through it and the cursor has been spinning for about 50 min now....it never gave me an option to click reinstall What is it doing? Is it removing the current OSX?
