Mac App Store get confused with partitions/external records

I have a MacMini with 2 HD.

One with El Capitan and the other with the Mavericks.

When I installed El Capitan, I realized Mac App Store by default update all applications even those of Partition of the Mavericks.

So I disassembled the Mavericks score (and changed the preferences) and

I re - download an app from the Mac App Store from my ElCapitan boot.

Once downloaded, it wasn't on the Applications folder.

But in a folder (volume) with the name of an external drive. (not plugged in during installation) I found it, by launching the application via LaunchPad and display in the Finder menu in the Dock.

This Application has been on this external backup drive, it is true. and the drive be connected at one time or another. But it is not plugged in during this installation.

I can see this Volume of fake in the Terminal, but not with DiskUtility.

If I plug the drive, I in /Volumes: ExternalDiskName and ExternalDiskName2!

How can I remove this fake (Ghost) Volume!

And why the Mac App Store is looking everywhere and not only on the system partition. It's a mess!

Thank you!

1. choose go to folder in the Finder Go menu and drag the folder /Volumes/ as the path to provide.

2. the Mac App Store will search any location indexed by Spotlight.

  • Mac App Store is writing updates on an external drive!

    Hi people,

    I recently added an external USB3 drive of my Mac Mini, which is in place and it works very well. It is journaled HFS +, property is 'ignored' and it is mounted in /Volumes as you would expect. (I also have to stress is the fourth disc I added in this way.) My main drive is unchanged, still mounted on / and is always presented as my boot drive in system preferences. It was also around 450 GB of free space.

    However, when I update an application such as Pages or via the Mac App Store numbers, it creates a folder in the "new" external drive and place the .app file here. Also, it creates a directory/library and places receipts in there, too. Applications updates do not appear in the Dock or dashboard.

    The behavior is completely recreatable and persists reboots of the system.

    I can't find an obvious preference setting to control the target disk. is it possible that I can configure or reset the Mac App Store to use my main drive?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help or advice.

  • Using more five computers with Mac App Store

    I have five MacBooks, four MBA and a MBP. These were bought over a period of five years or more.

    I'm considering buying a new iMac soon and wonder how it will affect my use of the purchased as well as the "free apps" apps from Apple (Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie and GarageBand).

    My Apple ID shows that I have five authorized computers.  I also have a variety of associated with the ID of Apple iOS devices.

    I intend to use the new iMac for editing movies mainly and a few Pages and Keynote work.  I have no intend to download a purchased applications currently in use with the MacBook.

    My question is that I'll be able to download the "free apps" using my existing Apple ID?

    I don't want to remove the five and start over.  I can live with having the iMac limited to the 'free apps '.

    Hello

    According to the Mac App Store FAQ...  Mac App Store: frequently asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support

    "Apps in the Mac App Store can be used on any Mac that you own or control for your personal use."

    So you use the same Apple ID on all.

    Yes, you can download free applications using your existing Apple ID

    If you use up your permissions:

    If one of your 5 permissions lies on a computer you do not use much more, Deauthorize it. If you have sold or transferred to a computer that used one of your 5 permissions, you must remove all your computersand then re - authorize each that you still use.

  • Each update of the Mac App Store downloads and installs twice

    When I hit "update" for an application on the Mac App Store, it downloads, installs and continues to show an update. I hit "update" again, let it download and install once more. Even after waiting a few minutes in between.

    It seems that when I click on "update all", apps always download and install both times, but automatically, without having to double click me. It is even clearer that this behavior occurs when one of the applications is open, I get the warning twice as much as the application runs.

    This has been going on during some time, perhaps at the time of the update to El Capitan.

    None of these applications are installed in several locations on my Mac.

    I tried the advice of following Linc on this thread and delete/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068, but it did not help.

    Please test after taking each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.

    1. open a search window by pressing the command-F key combination in the Finder. Select the Mac as the scope of research and the research of the app (s) in question by name. Delete all obsolete or duplicate copies that you find.

    2. If the search results appear to be inaccurate, rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now, there will be an indication that the indexing is in progress.

    3. triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.appstore

    A right click or Ctrl-click on the line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    4. If the previous steps do not resolve the problem, leave each app in question and uninstall it by following the instructions on this page. Alternatively, you can drag it into the Applications to the trash and empty folder. You have created the data files will be preserved. In Spotlight, check that there is now no copy of the application on your system. Download your purchase history in the App Store.

  • Mac App Store Photoshop elements 12-editor does not open

    I bought Photoshop elements 12 Publisher from the Mac App Store. The application has been downloaded and marked as installed.

    When I try to open the application, I get an error message and PSE does not open.

    I installed on a MacBook Pro running the latest OS X 10.9.2.

    The laptop has a 64 bit CPU Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM and a lot of free space on the disk.

    The error message I get is:

    "Adobe Photoshop elements than 12 editor does not open due to a problem.

    "Check with the developer to ensure that Adobe Photoshop elements 12 editor works with this version of Mac OS X." You may need to reinstall the application. «Don't forget to install the updates that are available for the application and OS X.»

    I tried to re - install the app via the App Store. However, after having to pay a second time for an application that does not work on my Mac, I did not so.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what can happen and how to solve this problem?

    Bruban

    Well, it turns out, it seems that I was right.  I just received confirmation in the family Custom Photoshop community thread that I started that in fact Photoshop Elements does not work on a case-sensitive volume.  If you have a case-sensitive volume, it is also your problem.  So, I'm leaving for the Mac App Store to see about a refund.  Wish me good luck.

    The problem is that it's very slow. I did everything I could to hang up:

    1. change the dns. fact.

    2 clear the dns cache. fact.

    3. set the certificate CRL off keychain. fact.

    4 restart the app store. fact.

    5 restart the computer. fact.

    6 change the router to 50 beacon interval. fact.

    7 reboot the router. fact.

    If only I have the IP or the domain name for the download address and ping it to I can know whether it is the latency time. If this is true, it is the fault of the ISP. I want to ping this address and solve this problem at the ISP.

    Restart your internet modem and restart the router again and your Mac then try the App store.

  • Mac App Store updates

    Hi all

    Is it possible also to disable updates for the App elements which are not installed?

    My page of Mac App Store update advises there is a date for Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

    When I select 'Update all' the Apple server responds with:

    "Update not available with this Apple ID

    This update is not available for this Apple ID either

    because it was bought by another user or item

    has been refunded or cancelled.

    which is quite reasonable, because I have never installed one of the iWorks components.

    The problem is that I can use is no longer the domain 'Update all' as the answer above stops all updates from happening.

    Thanks a lot for all of the recommendations.

    Neil

    Unfortunately no, but the workaround is to delete the App Store icon from the dock.

    In this way, you will not see the Red badge updated on App Store icon.

    Click and drag the App Store upwards and the dock until he goes, 'poof '.

  • Mac App Store update error
