App Store says I downloaded an app but it never fully downloaded?
So I was downloading an app (keynote) but it never fully downloaded. Like it froze mid download. So I refreshed the iPad and when I checked, it was nowhere in my apps. So I went back to the App Store to re-download it, but when I found the app, the only option was to "open", as if I had the app on my iPad. So I clicked "open" but nothing happened, the iPad just froze and crashed. I keep trying and the same thing keeps happening. So then I went to settings and found the app there, but the logo is all weird. But there's nothing I can do about it there. So I went to Search iPad and typed "keynote", but nothing showed up, as if I didn't have the app. So, summarized, I want an app that I don't have, but I can't download it because Settings and App Store think I already have it.
What should I do?
(For what it's worth, this is all from a brand new iPad mini)
you can restart and try again
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
or if you sync with a computer you could try downloading it to it and sync it down
or you could try to hold your finger on top of the icon until it begin ti wiggle and have an X which if pressed will delete the app so you can redownload it as one can only buy an app 1 time all other attempters to rebuy it with the same appleid will result in a free redownload

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. -

That's strange....
Under Snow Leopard (which is the forum you posted in), updates are done through Software Update. Not the App Store. -
App store says I have two updates but noting displays
App store says I have two updates but noting displays? any one have any ideals, by the way this is happing on both of my ipad mini's.
Well, try this instead:
From Demo:
If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.
I'm sure things will get straightened out with Apple's servers. Just learn to be patient. -
I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine. Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store. Help.
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test. -
Installed an app but it never showed up??
Ok so I download an app but it never showed up on my iPod and whenever I went to the app store and looked through the purchased list, it said it was installed onto my iPod buuut it's not there??
Did you try to locate it using the "spotlight" function on the ipod? Go to your home screen and swipe to the right, this will bring up the spotlight search dialog.
You can also try to reset your Home screen layout in Settings/General/Reset->Reset Home Screen -
I am unable to view My Wish List on the ITunes Store After installing the updated ITunes. It shows an Error -1202 and says try again later. But it never works.
Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

The App store says mountain lion is installed but it's not
I have a brand new macbook pro. The store says it's done but in the Launchpad the mountain lion icon is still grey and showing a blank downloading bar. Should I restart my computer?
Basically, the App Store is telling you that the purchase is complete and the download is underway.
The ML download is 4GB and can take anywhere from 1-8 hours to download depending on your internet connection speed. A 1.5Mbps connection will take 7-8 hours, while a 10Mbps will take 1-2 hours.
Open the App store back up and go to the Purchases tab. It should show the download progress of ML.
The progress bar on the ML icon is not a very good indicator since it's so short. -
App store saying to download iTunes?
Ive been having this problem for weeks now. I click the app store icon, either says cannot connect to iTunes or it connects but instead of it showing the normal store it says to download the latest version of iTunes..? I'm all up to date on pc with iTunes and iOS 5.0.1. I'm also not receiving push notifications?
Can you connect to iTunes and the App store on your computer?
Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry! I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired. I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!! The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated! I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either. I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!
OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
The instructions how to do that are here:
Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

i have an iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.2 and the App Store says that there's an App update,but when I open it there's nothing to update (Facebook was already updating at the time) and it's just annoying,plz help
P.S: I don't think this has anything to do with iOS 7 since I updated it to 7.0.2 long ago and this problem was a long time after thatiOS. user wrote:

The notification will remain until the update completes. -
why didn't os x lion install on my Macbook Pro?
The installation should have been automatic when you downloaded it. Do you have the new lion features (like mission control, new scrolling bars, airdrop etc.)? If you do, there is no problem.

App Store says Xcode isn't installed, but it's on my computer.
I installed Xcode on the 6th of August, but now - 23rd of August - in the App Store > Purchased Xcode's button "install" is blue, and install when clicked.
What's wrong?Xcode 4.1 was released two days before the 6th of August, and it is the one I installed. Yesterday the App Store said that all my apps had been installed, which they had.
It must therefore be a glich. The problem is that I asked it to download, and it's taking an extremely long time, ranging between 1h 50mins to 1day 20h, so I can't launch it from the LaunchPad.
