Sarah Whilst it's true that the behaviour of the App Store is as I described yesterday, it's also true to say that the App Store is still very flaky. I was one of the many who voiced the opinion to Apple via its many forums pre-release that Mountain Lion wasn't ready for public release. I stand by that opinion. The operating system itself isn't as stable as it should be. The app store is extremely flaky. But Apple is one of those organisations who, sadly, sets deadlines to things and won't adjust that deadline no matter what. However, it is important to understand the behaviour. Some applications are not compatible with Mountain Lion not because they aren't compatible, if that makes sense. They are not compatible as far as the App Store is concerned because the applications haven't been signed. This is true of many applications which would otherwise have been perfectly compatible. That may not sound logical, but it's one possibility as to why your application install butt ons are dimmed.
And Sarah, I remember a conversation which we had privately a couple of weeks ago on this subject. You then said that you weren't going to upgrade to Mountain Lion until these problems were fixed. Clearly you've changed your mind, as you are, of course, perfectly entitled to do. :-) Anyway, I am still in communications with Apple and, if I get any info back from them I will let the group know.

In fact most of my install buttons are dimmed. and it says "installed, dimmed" not "install" as if the app is already installed. is this what you are seeing? I checked on a web page the thas a list of compatible apps for ml and the apps I use that are in the app store are on said list. so they should indeed install. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
