App Store MAC Updates download and install, yet show as needing Update

I have, 4 times now, selected UPDATE on two apps that show as having free updates. they do so and tell me they are installing, and the buttons change to installed.
Then I quit App Store, to find the red button with 2 in it re-appears and I start the process again.
Never had this issue on iPad.

Ok...
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the LIbrary folder then the Caches folder.
Move these files to the Trash: com.apple.appstore and com.apple.storeagent
Now from the same Library folder open the Preferences folder. Move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder, open the Cookies folder. Move this file to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
If you don't see the com.apple.storeagent files, don't worry about it.
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference.

  • I did download Lion and everything is fine, but why in app store still stated DOWNLOAD and not INSTALLED, I already did 3 times and it still in DOWNLOAD label

    I did download Lion and everything is fine, but why in app store still stated DOWNLOAD and not INSTALLED, I already did 3 times and it still in DOWNLOAD label

    My guess is they changed that to Download for all the people who wanted to or needed to download it again. It's kind of a subset of Installed, now. I don't think it is a great solution, but that is what it is.

  • I can't find an app that is already downloaded and installed on my iPad.  Can anyone help me?

    My 5 year old has somehow hidden the Netflix app.  It shows that it it installed at the app store but I cannot find the app anywhere however it is listed in the settings.  Does anyone now how to find the app and get it back on the screen?

    Is it hidden via an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ? If not then you could try a reset and see if it shows 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.

  • PB Apps on BBW Downloading and installing But won't open.

    I've just bought a Playbook and installed the lates OS. When I went to Blackberry World to install some apps, they seem to download and install fine but then sit in limbo and won't open. This has happened to 3 free apps now.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The apps I installed are the Blackberry Tutorial, The Belgium Zip Code  Lookup and a Soltaire Game.
    The apps are visible on the App World screen as installed. But no icon appears anywhere else. Touching the app in the App World menu only provides a description. There is no loss of functionality with the rest of the Playbook.

  • Free download, and install question

    Free download, and install question.
    I need to buy a larger h/d, but till then I would like to put as many programs as possible on a external usb drive that I have hooked up to my PC.  I've been able to do this with some other programs, and would like to try it with my Adobe Reader and Flash.  When down loading and installing it does not give me the option to install in a defferent location other then my C: drive.  Can this be done?  Thanks you?

    From the MSI you have to create a MST (Transforms). In the MST create now the new property INSTALLDIR=F:\, where F: is your USB-drive. If you use then the command
    msiexec.exe /i [MSI] transforms=[MST]
    Adobe Reader should be installed to F:

  • I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed.  But there's nothing new to it.  Is there something I'm suppose to do?  I restarted the imac, no difference

    I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed.  But there's nothing new to it.  Is there something I'm suppose to do?  I restarted the imac, no difference

    Weird, that's not the one I was initially downloading but I think that is the one that installed, so I think that solves that.  But now the problem is that the one I was updating is no longer being shown.  It's over 1gb that had all the loops and instruments.
    Now when I try to use say strings lunar strings.  It tells me to download at app store.  It doesn't show.  I go back to garageband try again and says the instrument or loop is currently being installed.  But it's not.

  • Mac App Store works fine for buying/installing new software, but times out when looking for updates. Help?

    I just got a (lightly) used Mac Mini as a second computer (2010 model). Logged into Mac App Store with my Apple ID and tried to check for updates...received "An error has occurred - The request timed out" message. Was able to go to the main App Store page and download/install OS X Mountain Lion...then tried again and still got the time-out error. Any ideas of what is happening and how to get Software Update to work?

    Apps already installed by the former owner of the Mini are associated with that persons Apple iD. You won't be able to update any of those apps using your Apple iD. Those apps will have to be purchased from your Apple ID only.
    Apparently the previous owner had not upgraded to Mountain Lion as yet, or you would not have been able to download and install that OS X.

  • I downloaded and installed an app and my mac can't open it.

    I downloaded and installed Spider solitaire from the app store  and it can't be opened.  I am running ver.10.7.5 and it is up to date.  I also removed the app and reinstalled it as was suggested and it still does not work.  Truly a pain in the neck.I clicked on the suggested developer's website and it is all in korean or some other language and I can find no help.

    here is the message I get when I try to open it
    Spider Solitaire cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure Spider Solitaire works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

  • The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday.

    My problem:  The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday.  I have a Mac Pro with Mavericks and Final Cut Pro X 10.1 installed.  It seems to complete the update to the best of my knowledge.  It shows it to be Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content 1.0.  Is there a later version (a 2.0?)?  It seems it started when Mavericks updated.  Anyone else have this issue or know a solution to get it to update once and for all?

    hahah yeah i quit torrenting i have nothing but legit apps now.
    hope apple heard that!!!!
    your post fixed my issue
    but it did take more than deleting torrented apps, once your run a program with a MASReciept with someone elses Apple ID. that other ID is saved in all apps you got off of app store.
    You have to delete all apps that contain the MASReciept (the terminal command tells you which ones) then quit appstore then reboot download all apps again.
    it taught me to just buy my apps..

  • Having updated iWork 6.1, 5.1, 3.1 two times yet app store wants to download again.

    Having updated iWork 6.1, 5.1, 3.1 two times yet app store wants to download again.

    Software Update
    If you have Keynote 6.1 installed and working; ignore the update message, there is no need to download it again it just a minor bug in the update system.
    not opening Keynote files
    Most problems are caused by trying to open version 6 files in the version 5 application.
    Right click on the Keynote file select open with and choose Keynote 6.

  • How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari" bc I can't download the latest software?

    How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.

    I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
    In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:
