App shows as installed but it isn't.

Did a clean install, redownloaded apps, this particular app shows as installed but it isn't. Any advice?

Interesting. It was 24th January last year when I bought my App Store 09 version. (My first foray into the App Store).
I don't remember whether it updated the original or replaced it but the only version in my App folder is 09, so it must have been the latter. Thanks for the star.

App store means installed but it isn't

I want to install the Kindle App out of the App Store but my Mac Book Pro needs more than a quarter hour to install. I just do an normal restart and now the app store means it is installed but i can't find it in the lunch pad or in the programs folder.
How i can to reset the app store, so i can install the app again?
Thank you for your help

Try here > Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
a quarter of an hour? It's only a 46.9MB file. That should not take a minute on a broadband connection. Maybe two or three minutes on DSL.
If a "resume" doesn't help, if installed, disable anti virus software then try to resume the download.
The Little Snitch app can prevent apps from downloading or any other network monitoring software.
And check Gatekeeper.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Select: Mac App Store and identified developers
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password before proceeding.
OS X: About Gatekeeper
Beyond that... restart your router and try again.

App Store says Lion is installed but it isn't - What happened?

I have the appropriate qualifying hardware and software and downloaded Lion, clicked on proceed and App Store says it is installed but it isn't.
Any ideas?

"Me too"
Yet another individual in the same boat. ***, Apple?! Why must getting software be so obscure & complicated? What happened to: go to website, download thing, install thing?
I had Xcode 4.1 installed. Wanted to install (yet another) package with MacPorts, but got complaint that Xcode 4.1 is inadequate.
So I go to App Store & tell it to install current Xcode…This, BTW, left me with nearly zero feedback that something was going on. Only because I have a menubar widget showing network bandwidth did I know it was downloading.
while waiting (who knows how long it was to be), I had to sleep my computer to take it with me to work.
Upon waking my computer, App Store tells me Xcode is installed. Great!
Back to MacPorts to install that package: it tells me that Xcode 4.1 is too old. ***!?
Then things get messy & I end up clicking on the circle-X "button" next to XCode in the "Purchases" section of App Store, thinking that'll allow me to install it…that's a dead end
I then try entirely removing "/Developer" & "/Applications/Install Xcode.app"another dead end
Trying all combinations of holding any/all keyboard modifiers (option/control/shift/command) while clicking on "Purchases" in App Store did nothing different than not holding any.
Now I'm left with no Xcode & no way to install it with App Storewhee! this is a fine pit I find myself in now.
What a lovely user experience! Please, may I have more?! <grumble> <fume>
In the end, I did resort to my "what happened to…" thought.
Problem Solved:
Go to http://connect.apple.com/ & login with your (free) dev account.
Locate the current version of Xcode (4.3.2 for Lion) & download the dmg
Install like a normal person. (copy the Xcode.app from the mounted disk image to Applications)
After a bit of cleanup (things like "/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version" were trying to access things that used to exist), I've again got a working install of Xcode.

How can I reinstall deleted free Apps which now show as installed but are not actually there?

How can I reinstall free Apps that I have deleted (because ALL stopped working) which now show as installed but are not actually there?
I loaded a bunch of free Apps (maybe too many?) right after I got my 4s yesterday, and at some point I noticed that none of the downloaded Apps would work. The screen would blink when I tapped the icons, but the Apps stopped opening. Resetting the phone didn't help, so I decided to delete all the Apps I had downloaded and start over.
I can get the "Purchased" list to show up by pressing Updates button (is there another way?) but the show as "installed" in greyed-out letter, so I can't figure out how to get them back.

Your iPad screens aren't completely filled up are they? If they are, you will only be able to find them using the search feature on the iPad.

Why my apps are not transferring from PC to iPhone 5? When I connected to PC the icon shows when I select apps it show 'will install' but it never show on iPhone, I re installed iTunes, deleted all apps and downloaded again but its not working pls help.

Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

App Shows as Installed in "My World" but no Icon on Main Screen

I downloaded and installed "Weather Eye" and "Solitaire" from App World on my Playbook. Both apps show as "Installed" in My World. However, the icons for these apps don't appear on the Tablet Home Screen so I can't launch them.
Is there something I have to do to get these icons to appear on the home screen?. Or perhaps alternatively have I configured the Playbook to prevent this from happening. If yes, what setting do I have to change?
Thanks for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

on Playbook press power button and both Vol + - buttons for 10 seconds to reboot it.
and see if it persists.
or you can delete the app and reinstall it again after a reboot

"Your app is being created but it isn't ready to be used yet." Access Services error

Hi All,
I have configured my environment to be able to create custome Access Apps by using this guide:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2013/07/14/access-services-2013-setup-for-an-on-premises-installation.aspx
I have followed everything to the letter (except the "Configure for Apps" optional section as I had already done this).
However whenever I try to create a new Access App I get the "Your app is being created but it isn't ready to be used yet." message and if I browse to the site contents of the url I am targeting it shows the app as installing but it will never complete.
The logs don't give much more information than what is in the message displayed except the following entry:
MossPackageManager.InstallPackage: Timeout before installation completed for the SPApp '94d0d6b0-cfd7-4ab6-8c7e-403ea6db0231'. Elapsed time: '1' minutes
Is there anything that I may have missed/configured incorrectly?
Many thanks in advance :-)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not create the Access app.
Based on the log message, some service application may not be created well.
You should double check whether the following service applications had been created well.
Access Services
Access Database Service 2010
App Management Service
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service
Secure Store Service
There is a similar thread for your reference.

An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

Reboot holding down the Command and R keys. This will get you in to the Recovery partition. From there you can reinstall the entire OS. Please note, Server.app will not be included in the reinstall. You will need to log into your App store account to download it.

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

Thanks for the added information, the screenshot did not get posted but that is ok.
These steps should resolve the issue on your Mac:
Double-click on the link for Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 at Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
Check if the Install link is now available in the Adobe Application Manager.
If not, install and run the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove any traces of Premiere Pro. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
The Install link should now be available in the Adobe Application Manager.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The Mac App Store (MAS) can see its apps installed on mounted partitions and ext/int HDDs. Is there a backup of your previous installation mounted on your Mac with these two apps? If so, that is why the MAS sees them as installed.
Two ways to get the apps on your reinstall of Mt Lion;
1. Locate the apps on the mounted drive and drag & drop the apps to the Apps folder on your Mt Lion boot drive
2. Dismount the mounted drive with the apps, so the MAS doesn't see them and download them again from your list on the Purchased pane
