App Store shows I downloaded Yosemite, but it failed

When downloading Yosemite, it fails, but the app store won't let me download it again as it shows that I downloaded it already.  Any way to tell the app store I need to download it again?

Hi ..
Make sure your Mac can run Yosemite >  Apple - OS X Yosemite - How to Upgrade
Even though it's a free download, try the instructions here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or you may just need to resume the download >  Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
Prior to downloading Yosemite you may need to do the following:
Disable anti virus software if installed
Check your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options

  • I purchased iPhoto after installing Yosemite, but App store shows the download is "waiting"

    I purchased iPhoto after installing Yosemite, but App store shows the download is "waiting", with a greyed out box that says pause.

    Hi exyankee,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, an app is stuck on waiting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • HT202879 I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago.  Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version.  The app store shows the download.  HUH?!?

    I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago.  Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version.  The app store shows the download.  HUH?!?

    I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
    Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.

    Go back to the App Store app and find the app you're having problems with. Then look in the description for the contact info for the developer. You might also find an email link within the settings of the app. Contact the developer to find out if they are working on this issue.

  • Can't update--App Store shows I own Logic, but doesn't offer update

    I'm running 10.0.1 and want to update to .3.
    The app store shows Logic Pro X as purchased, but only offers me the option to install.
    I've tried re-starting and installing all security updates, but the situation remains the same.
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto says "installing" in app store, on iMac with Yosemite, but it never gets installed.

    I have an older iMac, 24" from the late 2009 era, have upgraded to Yosemite, but now iPhoto won't open.  It says that I need to go to the app store and install the new version.  When I do that very thing, iPhoto says, "Installing" in the gray box that used to say Install, but it never seems to finish installing.  What can I do to fix this?

      What can I do to fix this?
    Start over.
    Find iPhoto on the Launch Pad, hold down on it, till the LaunchPad items start to wiggle, then click the cross to uninstall iPhoto.
    Restart your Mac, then try to install iPhoto again.

  • App Store shows I an update but no app is listed

    There is a notification that there are two updates in the App Store. When I open the App Store to see what updates are pending no apps are listed.

    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

  • 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

  • An app I downloaded is no longer showing up on my screen. The app store shows thar it needs to be updated, but the update bottom is colored light, not dark.

    I downloaded Pandora a while back. My 12 year old nieces were playing with my iPad and now the Pandora icon is not on my screen. The app store shows that it needs to be updated, but I can't do it. What can it do to recover my Pandora program?

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my query is not so much about the sale of the company and the dream. I agree with you on that point. Good for them. My frustration is that this old app has now caused a glitch in my Apple App Store icon. I have a red badge with one update and it is referring to the old app that has been sold that needs to be updated. When I try to update the app it says no longer available for purchase. So I have since deleted that app in hopes that it would resolve the red badge issue. It has not. Somehow, that old app and the new app with the same name but by a different company has caused the glitch. I have reset all settings on my iPad, I have rebooted, I have deleted the app and still the red badge with the one update for the old app is there. Hmmm. . . I guess I need to take this into the Genius bar or wait for ios 7 in hopes that it will fix the glitch. Thanks again for your help.

  • 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

  • Mavericks installed but app store shows "download" not "installed"

    I installed Mavericks on my new (Christmas 2013 Macbook Air) and updated all other apps associated with Mavericks.  When I visit the app store it shows download on Mavericks app but all others show "installed".
    I checked the app installed and in "about this mac" it shows I have 10.9.1.  Why won't the app store show it is installed and should I do something else to complete the install?

    Asked and answered a zillion times since the advent of OS X Lion as a direct download. Please do a forum search before posting.
    The Mac App Store is about apps, not whether an OS is installed. What you got from the MAS was an app, the OS X Mavericks Installer. It self-deletes when it finishes successfully installing the OS. The reason it says Download is in case you need to download the installer app again.

    The upgrade I'm interested is for OS X  v.10.8.5...
    ...The App Store page shows 2 different upgrades:   
    Mountain Lion  (10.8.5)  Software Upgrade,  and
    Yosemite FREE upgrade
    If the App Store is showing 10.8.5 as an update, what do you currently have installed? The final update to Mountain Lion was 10.8.5, and since the basic OS installation of Mountain Lion is no longer offered in the App Store, that would suggest you're currently at an earlier version of Mountain Lion - 10.8.x where x=less than 5. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting the 10.8.5 update. There is also a Supplemental Update for 10.8.5 and that may be what the App Store is offering.
