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 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.

  • How do i reload OS X Server on Mac Mini, App store says installed but no reset or reload, system tells me to reinstall

    how do i reload OS X Server on Mac Mini, App store says installed but no reset or reload, system tells me to reinstall?

    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.

  • 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.

  • I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s.  It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone.  They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone.  Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back?  Thanks!

    I updated via my iPhone 4s.  The apps were on my iPhone 4s.  That's all the information that I have.  The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc.  But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts.  No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc.  They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone.  Thanks.

  • App Store - iphoto download but will not install - error occurred...?

    I downloaded iPhoto from the app store but when it finished downloading it did not install.  I tried to go back into the app store to install it and 'an error has occurred' shows beside the 'install' button.  I have restared, signed out, signed in, cleared all warnings without avail.  Can anyone help?

    Problem solved...
    Ran Disk Utility --> Repair Disk Permissions
    Signed out of App Store, Signed In
    Went to Applications and clicked the little 'x' in the top corner of the iphoto app
    Cancelled download
    Restarted download within App Store

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 - want to replace with iPhoto '11 but App Store says Installed

    I have a MacPro at home and a MBP which I also use - I have the 'old' iLife 09 which provided iPhoto in ver. 8 form [updaed to 8.1.2 in 2010] - I went to the App Store to get iLife '11 to update fully and it says it's Installed.
    But I checked on my MacPro and it's not installed there. Nor is it on my MBP -- how can I get it from the App Store and install it on my MacPro = it won't let me. Thank.s

    Try rename iPhoto.app in the Applications folder. Change it to something like iPhotoold or somesuch. Then try again.
    As always, before updating anything, *back up first*

  • I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard. Now there is a new Xcode for Lion, so I downloaded the new one but the installed continued to be the old one. Now App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me to re-download Xcode. How can I proceed?

    I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard 12 days ago. After installing Lion I saw there is a new FREE Xcode for it, so I downloaded the new one but after installing automatically Xcode for Lion the Developer folder contained the old one. I deleted the old Xcode but the App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me re-download Xcode.
    How can I proceed? I'm guessing whether this problem will occur each time I buy an application from App Store.

    Yes, that's righ, Xcode installer was in the Apps folder. I assumed it had been automatically installed and the installer deleted after installation (the same way as Lion is installed).
    I tried also the procedure for redownloding applications, and MAS showed both Xcodes (Lion and Snow Leopard) and OS X Lion. We see that buttons for Lion and Xcode for Snow Leopard say 'Install' but Xcode for Lion says 'installed' because there is an Install Scode in the Apps folder.
    Thank you.

  • I have been download lion last night and it stopped. i tried again but APP Store show installed. How can I retry to install?

    I have tried to install lion last night and it stopped by slow internet connection. I paid through App Store and i tried again today but APP Store show installed. How can I install again?

    If you cannot resume the download, try to start the Installation Application in your /Applications Folder. If that does not work, delete the Installation Application and try to reload it. If that still does not work, contact Apple would be my best tipp

  • Hello  I upgraed my iphone to ios 7 but its dosent work like app stor dosent install any brogram or update programs and its slow and stuck plz help me

    Hello
    I upgraed my iphone to ios 7 but its dosent work like app stor dosent install any brogram or update programs and its slow and stuck plz help me

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • "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.

  • Messages.app no longer connects to Jabber after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2

    Messages.app no longer connects to my company's Jabber server after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2 (even though I never purchased that app). The Remote Desktop app can not be found anywhere on my machines.
    I suspect the Remote Desktop update because Messages stopped connecting on my office MB Air after the update but still worked on my home iMac. Next day the iMac received the update and Messages stopped connecting on that machine too.
    Messages attempts to connect for several minutes (it's been trying for 30 mins as I type this) and just hangs. Occasional I get the following error message:
    Error: Messages lost the connection to the Jabber account 'account'. A network error occurred.
    I've tried:
    - Deleting and recreating the Jabber account in Messages.app
    - Toggling on/off SSL (SSL required by our server)
    - Toggling on/off auto detect server and port (port 5222 on our server)
    - Deleting every plist, cache, etc., I could find in the Library for any IM client I've ever used
    - Checked that Keychain trusts the Jabber server SSL certificate (it is a self signed cert)
    - Tried connecting from three completely different networks including the company VPN
    - Multiple PRAM resets
    - Setup a Google Talk account in Messages - works fine
    I'm at a loss...
    Kurt

    I installed and setup Adium. Adium works but Messages.app still does not connect to Jabber.

  • My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

    My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

    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.
