MacBook Air :: Cannot Use Previously Purchased Apps On It
Jun 24, 2012
I am an iphone and ipad user and have just bought a MacBook Air. I have transferred items purchased bought on the ipad and iphone to my library and all my apps are appearing in iTunes on my new MacBook. However I cannot seem to use/launch the apps? They are not appearing under Finder > Applications and do not appear on the Desktop as I would have expected them to appear. Where are these apps or can I not use them on the MacBook?
On my old IMac i purchased 3 movies and a season of a tv show. when signing into iTunes on my new macbook air it wont allow the download of theses movies or tv shows. it says to check the connection and the connection is fine. what should i do?
Purchases originally made from iTunes store on a PC, although they appear in Mac iTunes, are not available to play or sync on the Mac- says this computer is not authorized, although it is.
How do I authorize my 100+ previously purchased itunes music that is in protected aac form? It prompts that my computer is not authorized even though it is.
I have a lot of apps that were already on my computer before the App Store came out (i.e. Evernote, iWork). However, the App Store never picks up that they're already installed. It would be great if the App store could see that type of thing. Does it? If so, how do I get it to scan for previously installed apps so that it knows what to look for when there are updates or upgrades?

Trying to re-install Twitter from the Mac App Store. When I click "install" I get a prompt to type in my Apple ID (pre-filled with jonas.clement@hotmail.com; NOT ME). When I type my correct Apple ID and password in I get an "Error -4" message followed by "Unknown Error" message.
I have NO clue who jonas.clement@hotmail.com is. My account has not been hacked (at least no unauthorized purchases have been made). When I view my previously purchased apps, I see the whole list, Twitter, included...but I can't seem to download it.
Here's what I'm running:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 App Store 1.0.2 (63.1)
Here's what I've tried. Signing out of the App Store and signing back in.Signing out of the App Store and not signing back in until I try to download the App. Signing out of iTunes (trying everything). Restarting. What else is causing these errors?
My employer wants me to take a print out of all the apps ever purchased with their cost for our financial records. I scoured the internte but couldnt find any solution. All I can do is see the purchase history, but cant print it out. I tried printing my apps as songs, it does print a list but it doesnt give the the price.
i have been using my iPad and iPhone for a little over a year and have many many apps on both that I can easily update from device to device...I recently added the Mac Mini desk top to my work and want to sync some of the apps plus the info they contain on my desk top but can not figure out how to please help
I've been working with this problem and have tried almost everything. I have my macbook new reinstall with a clean installation of Lion.From that moment it is totally impossible to purchased apps to download or update from the appstore.I reset everything. (Appstore & Store agent)

The MacBook Pro that I have used for iTunes crashed yesterday, fortunately I have a Time Machine backup. I was informed that it was unlikely that I could repair the system given its age. With that understanding I began to restore my files etc onto our iMac system. I used the Data Migration tool and copied everything across.
For my music in iTunes I simply downloaded all of the songs from the cloud to the new system. All is well there. However I do not see any of the Apps that I have purchased previously on my older system. I was able to locate them on the Time Machine backup and I copied them to the following folder: Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Apps. When I restart iTunes they are not present in the Apps folder. How I can get iTunes to recognize these Apps or is there a way download purchased Apps from the iTunes store? I had the latest version of Mavericks installed
Running into the following problem. When I try to update some of my purchased apps, I get an error message stating that I need to sign into the account that I used to purchase the apps. I only have one Apple ID and use it to purchase apps. Now, I cannot perform any updates on these apps. I am worried that if I delete the apps and try to install them again through the Mac App Store, I will not be able to do so as I feel that the mapping between my account and the apps has been lost.

I have purchased many apps in the last year or two with my iphone using apple apps but when I try to find those apps for downloading to my macbook air, they're not there. It makes it seem as if I need to repurchase them again using the same account. Is there something I need to do to find them?
I've got more than one person downloading apps to my iTunes, and so I'd like to list all apps purchased by one account (meaning the same email address). How can I separate apps like this? I can't seem to find any columns that I can add to the Apps tab to sort apps in this way.

ok so every time i plug my iPhone 5s into my mac and open up iTunes to sync some music to my phone, i go to "music" and click the button "sync" at the bottom of the page in the iPhone music section. but all my apps gets transferred on my phone again even the apps that i deleted
Are apps purchased from iTunes only intended for devices, and not for iMac computers? I purchased two (AgingBooth & FatBooth), but the suffixes(?) are .ipa - not something my computer will open. I assume these downloads were intended for iPhone or iPad, but I thought I had selected for Mac Apps. Perhaps I would have to buy them from the App Store instead, but I just wanted to know so I did not make the same mistake in the future.
Just bought a MacBook Pro. Currently transferring my various files. I purchased Pages and Keynote on an older iMac via the AppStore. Can I somehow bring over these applications to the new laptop without having to "re-buy" them?
The mac App Strore seems to have forgotten all of my purchases. When I go to the Purchases page it says "You have not yet purchased any apps." However, it did tell me that I had two updates and then let me update them. While they were updating they also showed up on the Purchase page, buy when they finished downloading the Purchases page resumed saying "You have not yet purchased any apps." I tried signing out of my account and then signing back in but that didn't help. I have a @mac.com ID that I continue to use, so I tried signing in with the @me.com form and that didn't help. I tried signing in on another Mac, same results. I recalled that I had a couple of hidden purchases and when I went to my Accounts Details page it said that I had 2 hidden items, but when I clicked on the View Hidden Purchases link it said I did not have any hidden purchase. However, if I return the the account details page it still says I have 2 hidden items. I'm running 10.7.4 on a 15" MacBook Pro, last falls model.
Recently purchased music and video appears in Purchased playlist, but not in Library. Tried reboot, toggling Match, Genius and Store on/off, now running out of ideas.

I have been annoyed recently from how laggy and slow my macbook pro has been lately...is there anything i can do to speed it up or get it back to where it was?
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro, previously using a windows based laptop . When I've tried to upload some music from the macbook to my iphone 4 I keep getting a message that its synched with another itunes library and all the content will be erased. I've deauthorised the old laptop, how can I get some new music transferred over to the phone?
