I already tried this and it did not work. This from a clean install, twice.
Yeah the hiding purchases thing works, but I want to install the apps lol! or at least some of them and I sort of can't. I'm hoping apple will fix this as i will not be able to use evernote until they fix tis. Yes I could migrate but not all of us have a back up drive to migrate to or they might be installing ml on a clean drive. I will keep these instructions in mind in case my app store ever goes poof. Take care all and hope this gets fixed.
