Re: Mountain Lion App store question
Hello Paul, Try going to the purchases tab, then interact with the cell that says Installed. You should hear that the installed button is dimmed. Now, try hitting Option-Space. This overwrites the behaviour of OS X and forces the app to reinstall if it is not already. This also works on applications you have already installed and register correctly. When you have hit Option-Space, you can stop interacting with the cell and VO-left then right. It should then say that the button is now Pause.

Re: Mountain Lion App store question
Hi Esther, Pressing the dimmed Installed button does nothing. I did try the update option for the App store but that said that no updates were available. Am I correct in thinking that Lion let you re-install items previously purchased from the Mac Ap store? I could create a new App Store account as you suggest but that seems over the top. instead I have recovered a growl.app from my time machine backup and run that. It is growl 1.4 as desired but I don't think it has installed fully as the growl icon is not present in system preferences. Looking at the package contents for growl.app I found a launch growl.app which let me enter the growl preferences. This is all a bit of a hack but hopefully it will do the job. Best regards Paul Hopewell On 28 Jul 2012, at 21:19, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Paul, Does clicking on the dimmed button do anything? (Is it possible that the announcement of dimmed doesn't reflect true status?) What happens when you choose the Updates menu instead? I'd guess that if an app were purchased, but you somehow deleted it, the Purchased menu entry would be dimmed but if it were updated since it was deleted it would have an active button in the Updates menu. Since Growl had a version update just last month, this should work. Short of that, the only thing I can think of is to create another account that you associate with your iTunes ID for the Mac App Store. That should count as one of your iTunes account activations, but it should treat this as though you were starting up on a new computer -- everything should be downloadable. A bit weird if you have to move a downloaded app that way, though. This does bring up another potential issue about the Mac App Store: like the App Store for your iPhone, apps can come and go. I believe that the new version 4 of TextExpander won't be offered in the Mac App Store, because it doesn't meet the requirements for sandboxing. And I'm also wondering about differences between the version of DVDRemaster Pro sold through the Mac App Store and the ones that were purchased outside the App Store now that version 8 has arrived. It sounds as though Fairmount, the program that you need to deal with encryption (if you don't have the relevant bit of VLC already on your system), has been spun off to the people who make Mac DVDRipper Pro, so they're letting us get Mac DVDRipper Pro at a discounted price with a (paid) update to version 8 of DVDRemaster Pro (until July 31). But this must be different for the folks who bought this through the Mac App Store. HTH.
