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!)

  • 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.

  • Mac App Store says that Lion can be installed,but it is already installed

    Hello,
    today I opened the Mac App Store and I clicked the tab ''Purchases'' and I saw that in OS X Lion it was saying to install it. But the problem is that I already have Lion installed in my iMac(v10.7.3). Why is this happening, is it a bug or there is a problem with my iMac? Thank you in advance!

    What you have purchased in the Mac App Store is the installer for OS Lion, not the OS itself. So you can still download the installer, it's just that you already have Lion.

    My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite.  They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

    How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
    WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

    Did you add or change your credit card details when downloading the app ? If so then you've probably received a temporary store holding charge, which should disappear within a few days : holding charges. Or have you made any in-app purchases within the app (what app is it) ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account), what shows under your purchase history ?
    As these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from the post's title.

    Hi Tahan007,
    Check these threads out:
    Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Cannot connect to App Store since 10.8.1
    why is my app store sign in saying connection failed?
    Also if you're running any anti-virus SW, you might try temporarily disabling it

  • App store it says I have downloaded Mavericks, but still have old software? helppppp

    I tried downloading the new mavericks, but nothing haooened except the app store saying that it is downloaded. So now where I click to install it says downloaded when I clearly have the old software still. I cheked everything and I am compatible to download the new Mavericks Software. Any ideas?

    Previously you said nothing happens & now you say it stops so it isn't very clear exactly what is going on. Do you get a progress bar next to the install button after you click on it? If so, by "stop" do you mean the progress bar appears to stall or something else?
    Also if you open the Applications folder in a Finder window & arrange the screen so you can see both that & the App Store window, when you click on the Install button, do you see the Install OS X Mavericks app appear in the Finder window, even briefly? (It may help to set the Finder view to list view & sort by date.)

  • App Store is showing I have 5 updates but when I go into updates nothing appears

    App Store is showing that I have 5 updates but when I go into updates nothing appears. I'm not even getting the message that all apps are up to date. I've shut down and restarted but that has not resolved the issue.

    Try updating from here:
    App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
    Note: You'll have to look out for apps that have the word "Update"

  • Why does the iMovie update keep reappearing in App Store Updates although I have already installed it?

    I installed the iMovie update version 10.0.8 when it became available 4/24/2015 yet it continues to appear as a new update ready for downloading and installation. How can I get rid of this, or is it even necessary to do so? In my dock, it shows that I have a new update that needs attention. I've never encountered this before.

    1. Search "This Mac" in the Finder for outdated copies of the app(s) that keep being updated. Delete any you find. Make sure the search scope is "This Mac" or you may miss some.
    2. If the search results seem to be inaccurate, rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
    3. If the above steps don't resolve the problem, back up all data, then quit each app in question and uninstall it by following the instructions on this page. Alternatively, you can drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash, and empty. The data files you created will be preserved. Verify in Spotlight that there are now no copies of the app on your system. Download it from your Purchases history in the App Store.

  • App Stores complains that I have not used my MacBook Air for a purchase. But I have !!!

    My MacBook Air is registered with Apple (tick).
    I have an ITunes voucher which I have redeemed from Apple (tick).
    I have at Apple ID (tick).
    Go to buy something (a game in this case for £3.99) on my MacBook Air via the App Store
    I immediately get prompted to answer my 2 security questions which I have never registered in the first place!!!! But my MacBook Air is registered with Apple !!! SO MY PURCHASE IS DECLINED !!!!
    Frustrated or what.

    Apple ID security issues -
    Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.
    1. Go to www.apple.com/support
    2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us
    3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for your issue
    4. Follow the onscreen instructions

  • TS1702 My App Store shows that I have 9 available updates, but the update screen remains blank. My ios is up to date, I have an active connection and can access every other section of the store.

    I Can't access upgrades that the app stores keeps notifying me about. The update screen is just blank.

    Folks can wait it out or I understand if you go to purchased and your list of apps you will see a little update banner on the ones that need to be updated. YOu can then download them manually.

  • App store insists that I update the Twitter app even though I've uninstalled it

    I first downloaded the app using an old account, now I just want everything aligned to my new account.
    Thing is, as soon as I give in and update it using my old account details, I'm told it needs updating again.
    It's not a big deal but it's doing my head in. Help!
    BTW, I tried talking to Apple support about this but frankly they were useless. I don't think any of them understood what the problem was.

    I'm told it needs updating again.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash then restart your Mac.
    Try the App Store.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
