Apps listed as installed while they aren't

Hi,
I reinstalled my late 2011 MBP 13 i7 via the recovery partition. Reason of the reinstall is beyond the scope of this post. After installation, I migrated my profile from an external drive. I did only migrate my profile and not the installed programs.
Now in MAS, purchased programs (Aperture for instance) and the iLife programs that came with the MBP are listed as installed on the Purchases tab. I am not able to redownload them. I tried all Option/command/control/shift/click combinations but the install buttons remain locked.
Yes, I am able to take the program from the backup disk but I do think this is not the correct way. Does somebody know how to fix it?

too bad, there is no external drive attached neither was it when I posted the above. Thanks for posting though
Creating a new user and trying it from there didn't help either.

  • Apps show up as installed while they aren't

    After doing a reinstall of lion my previously installed apps still show up in the mac app store as installed.
    Is there any way to reset my purchases or something so I can reinstall these apps?
    Edit, never mind, I had a backup drive connected with the apps on. After disconnecting, installation went fine.

  • My extensions have stopped working. They appear in the Add-on list as installed, but they don't load with Firefox.

    I have many extensions downloaded. They all worked earlier today, but now none of them are working. They appear in the add-on list as installed, but they don't load. I cannot find them anywhere in any Tools or Options. I use Speed Dial, Read It Later, etc., and they're all gone.

    You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

    Thank you

  • Restored computer thinks I have programs installed but they aren't

    I had to erase my Mac hard drive and restore it from my Time Machine back-up due to problems I was having. Even though I restored it from  Time Machine, my adobe Apps were no longer installed on my computer. I am about a week into a one month trial memebership. So I went online and reinstalled the Adobe Application Manager. It is saying my programs are up-to-date, but they're no where to be found on my computer. It wont let me re-download them from the internet either. I think it still thinks they are on my computer.
    Does anyone know how I can get these programs back on my computer?
    Thanks!
    Katie

    Nevermind I fixed it by erasing my hard drive again and restoring to the original operating system without restoring to my Time Machine back-up.

  • Are the apps listed on my Creative Cloud UI as "install" inculded in my plan as add ons

    Hello Everyone;
    I am sure that by my question you can tell that I am a beginner "Newbie" to all of this. I have been puzzled by this since the first day I subscribed and installed the cloud on my PC. Under the Apps tab some apps are listed as TRY and some as INSTALL. So, I was wondering if the Apps that are listed as INSTALL are optional add on's for my plan. I have clicked on them both and the APPS listed as INSTALL take me to a download page for that app, and the Apps listed as TRY take me to a page where I can download or buy that App. I am assuming that the download on the Apps listed as TRY are trials. I am sure that everyone here thinks I am the biggest NOOB ever but I don't like trial and error when I can avoid it. Any help from you guys out there will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

  • TS1702 I had updates for some apps I already had ,but the updates started installing ,and they have been in the waiting mode now for about a week. What do I do ?

    I had some updates for several apps ,when I installed them they went to waiting ,and ,have been that way for about a week,What do I do now ?

    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Have installed creative cloud, but while the apps read "up to date," they are not even installed and cannot be opened. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud/Adobe.

    Have installed creative cloud, but while the apps read "up to date," they are not even installed and cannot be opened. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud/Adobe. Horribly frustrating. This is my second computer for installing creative cloud. Does that make a difference?

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

  • Apps listed in iTunes don't install on iPod touch 4G

    I have several apps I've downloaded from the iTunes Store, but even after syncing the iPod touch, those apps aren't installed. They still show up in the Apps Library in iTunes, but not on the touch. All of those apps were listed as being compatible with an iPod touch, but are they not being installed because they're not really compatible, or for some other reason? I have iOS 4.3.1 installed

    Since I received your message I explored further into iTunes and discovered some other screens that display what's installed on my iPod. The apps that weren't installed were not checked in the list of apps. However, the box that says something about automatically installing all new apps was checked which was why I've not had trouble getting apps to install in the past. Now I know where to look.

  • In app store some applications are of very small size like 15-20 Mb and after installing them they become more than 100 mb. how to determine their actual size???

    The app store size is probably just the software, while the size on your iPhone includes data.
    You can determine the size on your iPhone by looking at Settings > General > Usage.

  • I have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

    i have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

    From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
    Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
    1. Restart the non-working iPad
    2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
    iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.
