App not installed App Store thinks that it is

Hi guys
Just bought and tried to install an app from ios App Store. After two hours it was still on 'installing' so I restarted my iPad.
When it reloaded the app wasn't there so I went back to the App Store to reinstall. The only option on the app is 'Open' and I can't seem to reinstall it.
Is there any way around this? The app was $10 and over 350mb so a bit annoyed right now.
Any help is appreciated.
Steve.

If you go  to Purchased under Store left hand side menu of  iTunes on PC ( can't help with Mac,sorry )
at bottom right hand side should say "download Previous Purchases "
Then on next screen Apps and top right  "not in my library" and you should see any apps you have already purchased (iTunes 10.5.2.11)but not currently in library

  • Apps do not appear in applications folder, app store shows that they are installed

    My system failed and I had my husband restore all the applications. He was installing Garage Band, iMovie ad iPhoto using the App Store. He paused the download of all the applications since the system had to to do a restart.  When the system came back up, App Store was reporting that the applications were installed, but when I looked in the applications folder none of the applications were in the folder.
    How do I restore these purchases?
    Thanks

    My husband was able to figure it out.
    The problem was that the backup of my old system was connected and the old applications folder was found by the App Store App store. So App Store thought that the application was installed even though the application folder was not on the system drive.
    The work around was disconnect the drive. My husband thinks that the the App Store should ignore any application that is not in the system Application folder.
    Thanks

  • I re-installed Mountain Lion from a USB stick, and now my Apps can't be downloaded.  The App store indicates that the Apps are already installed, but that is not the case. Now what :)

    I re-installed Mountain Lion from scratch of a USB stick, and now my Apps in the App store ca not be installed, the App store indicates that they are already installed, but that is not the case.  Now what?

    Ok, this is somewhat of a better work around I've found:
    Starting in the Australian iTunes store, I go through the process of signing into the UK iTunes store up until the point it asks for my credit card information.
    I then click the 'X' in the top left of iTunes to exit the store.
    Now when I click on my Apps Updates button it shows me what UK Apps I have that are available to update.
    You can't download these as at this point I've changed the store I'm viewing, but haven't officially switched accounts. Not to worry.
    I write down the names of the UK Apps to update.
    Then, use the 'search store' field in the top right of iTunes to search for one of the Apps.
    Once you've found it, click to buy it / download it.
    iTunes recognises that the App is already in your account and downloads it again for free….
    … now I'm HOPING that that App is now fully within my Australian account… unfortunately only time will tell once there is a new update for it.
    I'll let you know.

  • My Facebook App disapirs i try to put it back but the App store saids that is all ready installed but is not there, can you heló me? Thanks

    My Facebook App disapirs I try to put it back but the App Store raids that is all ready installed, but theta App it dind't show up, can you help me??? Thanks

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it (and/or reinstall it) after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • App store insists that I have something installed, but I don't!

    I think somewhere along the lines I deleted Numbers and Pages in an 'incorrect' way, trying to solve another problem. Now I find myself in a weird situation:
    1. App store says that I have them installed:
    2. It even says that they've been updated recently:
    3. However they are nowhere on my computer:
    I have tried everything:
    I've looked online, nothing.
    I've tried Appstore support, they can't solve it.
    I've enabled the AppStore debug menu and cleared cookies, reset the application, that did not help.
    I tried command,or option or shift click on the greyed out "Installed" button in the app store to try and force a reinstall, and that didn't work.
    I am stumped. Does anyone know what I should try next?

    That was an exciting possibility... but it didnt pan out. It sounds like something similar is happening but there is no backup that might be confusing things.
    Any other ideas? This is really mysterious (and frustrating!)

  • HT4461 If the Mac App Store thinks I've already installed (an updated Pages 5.0) application when in fact I'm still running Pages 4.3, how can I redownload it?

    Hi! a few days ago I updated to Maverick and updated several other programs as well, however Pages 5.0 somehow didn't install, so I'm running 4.3. The App Store thinks I have already installed it. The FAQs suggest I can redownload, they do not indicate how. How?
    Thanks!

    The older iWorks apps are in an iWorks folder the new apps are loose in the Applications folder. Are you sure the new Pages isn't there?
    You can redownload apps from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.

  • Good afternoon. Today I stopped to make a purchase in the App Store. wrote that the card does not fit, I live in Ukraine. Tell me what I should do.

    I've never seen such an error before. I think you're using the serial number instead of the redemption code?
    There should be a scratch off code on the back.

  • How do I transfer iWorks'09 bought in box to App Store, so that it is reflected as purchased and installed.

    How do I transfer iWorks'09 bought in box to App Store, so that it is reflected as purchased and installed.

    Sorry, that's not possible.
    The iWorks suite of software is installed from a disc.
    The apps from the Mac App Store are installed individually hence the updates are available from the App Store, not the Apple menu / Software Update like your iWorks software.

  • Deleted App - App Store thinks it's still installed

    I deleted an app purchased from the App Store and need to reinstall it, but the App Store states the app is installed, and won't let me download it. I've attempted clearing the app store cache, but no success. This is happening on a fresh install of Lion.

    No, nothing like that. I have a time machine backup of my documents directory, but it doesn't have any applications in it. Plus, the condition persists when with the external drive attached.
    Additional background: I had attempted to install this app (Scrivener 2.1) from backup, but it reported being damaged upon launch, prompting me to delete and reinstall from App Store. That's how this mess got started.
    Also, I've tried deleted the Doc db file and restarting the Dock with the thought that the App Store might be using that as a refernece for determining what's installed, but no joy.

  • I cant download iphoto from the app store saying that it belongs to another apple id and i would have to buy it but its not giving me an option to buy it what am i suppose to do

    Contact App Store support. They're the only folks who can help with account issues.

  • Why doesn't the App store recognise that I already have Facetime installed and want me to repurchase it?

    Why doesn't the App store recognise that I already have Facetime installed and want me to repurchase it?  I also canot upgrade from V3 to V 1.02?

    For some reason the Apple servers are having an issue retaining the bank card's CVV code (three digit security code) in the payment method area. Every time I run into an issue, whether in the iTunes Store or the Mac App Store, when I check my account info the CVV code has been missing every time!
    Try resolving the problem from iTunes, you have more access to your account details in iTunes. Sometimes it seems that when there is a problem with incorrect or incomplete information regarding your method of payment the Mac App Store's warnings get confusing.
    Open iTunes, enter the iTunes Store, then log in and review your account information. Make sure that the billing address is correct and that if needed, the CVV code, the three digit security code from your bank card, is correct. On your way out reset the notifications.

  • I am trying to download an app that needs 501 MB and my iPod has over 1 GB, but the App Store says that I do not have enough memory left.

    I am trying to download an app that needs 501 MB and my iPod has over 1 GB, but the App Store says that I do not have enough memory left.

    Do you have a question?
    That sounds right.
    Most apps require more than double the size of the app available in order for installation.
    Make more room.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • I opened netters anatomy atlas app but not want to purchase it then i go for app store but that neeter app page only opening what i do

    i opened netters anatomy atlas apps. but i didnt want to purchase it. then i went to apps store. but that netters app only opening. what i do to go to apps store

    If you are in the Enterprise program, apps can be distributed only to that company's employees. If you want to distribute to customers in general, you would have to be a member of the normal iOS developer program and either use ad-hoc distribution for up to 100 users, or go through the App Store. There are no other options I'm aware of, though you can contact Apple Developer Support through your membership resources and ask.
    Regards.

  • The The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded   What to do to get it back.

    the The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded  Will not download again.  How do I get my icon back.

    Well, App Store is system app. It might have been moved accidentally to a folder. You might be having an idea of Spotlight search when you swipe the home screen to the left most section, you can search "App Store" and you have the icon of the App Store.
    You can try to reset home screen layout by going to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout
    Keep in mind, this will reset all the app folders you've created in the home screen.
    If it still doesn't appear, you might have accidentally turned the switch ON to disable App Store in restrictions.
    Can be accessed by going to settings - general - restrictions - (Enter passcode if asked) - Turn on the Installing Apps and Deleting Apps switches to ON
    Let me know if this helps you out
