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.

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 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?

  • IOS installed apps showing as not installed in App Store

    This problem seemed to start when I was unable to pay my Apple bill. As is usual, the App Store wouldn't allow me to download apps and updates but I signed out my account and then back in and all of my pending app updates disappeared and in the Purchased section, it showed all of my apps as Not Installed in the way of it displaying the iCloud icon rather than Open button. I figured this was due to my Apple bill being unpaid so I forgot about it. Now at the end of the month when I was again able to pay my bill, I did so and yet my apps are all still showing as Not Installed, I should note though, that my apps are installed, available on my springboard and are usable. So I signed out my AppleID and signed back in but still no change.
    I can just go through my Purchased list and press the iCloud button and it again recognises that the app is actually installed and then displays the Open button, but, I have maybe 300 apps installed on a Purchased list of over 1,000 apps so this would be a real pain.
    Is there any better way for me to reconfigure these apps so they return to normal state?

    Hello CCC,
    It is happening on the following devices:
    iPhone5
    iPhone5s (two)
    each have a "Family" generated iTunes account which has been associated to my iTunes account as the organizer. I would probably like to see it resolved on the iPhone5s (son and daughter) first and then the iPhone5 (wife).
    2. I am also experiencing issues with "Mail" using IOS 8 in that email will not delete from my inboxes (same devices as above)...
    3. I also have an issue with iCalendar not syncing events to my family members devices (iPhone5 and iPhone5S) using IOS 8. I entered my son's volleyball games into calendar on my macbook which is associated to my apple id as organizer and none of the other devices  associated to other family iTunes account received the updates. I have an iPhone5 as well and I received the updates.
    4. I am also experiencing issues with Family not recognizing pictures of family members which I have been trying to get fixed up.
    I don't think I have ever experienced this many glitches when updating to a new version from Apple before:(. I sure hope this is not going to be the new norm.
    I have also noticed that Health kit does not allow you to change the unit of measures within the application that it forces you to use the country's standard. This might be fine for younger individuals but as for me who grew up learning imperial and changed to metric halfway through school I would prefer the option to choose which unit of measure to use.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond,

  • CC App shows LR5 not installed even though it's installed and working

    I subscribe to the Photography CC Plan and I went to the CC App today looking for the LR 5.7.1 update.  The CC App showed LR5 as being up to date even though LR5 shows its version as 5.7.  I quit the CC App to see if that would force it to show the update but when I launched the CC app again, LR5 was no longer shown as installed but was listed under Find New Apps.  LR5 is most definitely installed and working and I know it's the CC version (rather than the perpetual license ) because it shows the LR Mobile sync features: 
    What's going on here?  I have tried quitting the CC App and signing in/out of my Adobe account. 

    Please refer to:

  • 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.

  • Apps bouncing in the dock when they aren't opened in Mavericks

    Why are applications bouncing in the dock when they aren't open.  I've had this happen with two different applications.  The only way to stop it is to do a restart, which seems like overkill.

  • App is saying it is installed, but they aren't installed so now i can't download them

    Sorry for the awful grammer on the topic. It's hard to describe.
    So anyways, I am trying to purchase Motion 5 and in the Mac App Store the download tab says installed. However it is not installed on my machine. Since it says this I am unable to download the app. any suggestions?
    Thank you

    have you ever in the past downloaded it?

  • Apps showing up as 'installed' on my phone but I can't see/access them??

    Since I updated my iPhone 4 a couple of my apps have 'disappeared'.
    The thing is they are still showing up in my appstore as 'installed' so I can't re-install them. I'm very confused. Help!

    Open the Contacts app. At the top of the Contacts list, tap on Group (if you see it), and then make sure all groups are displayed.

  • HT204088 I installed iphone 5 from iTunes backup but still have one app showing [ ! ] not installed can not find file . How do I get rid of this pop up

    I installed iphone 5 from itunes back up and get a pop up [ ! ] app not installed can not find file. I have looked through everything that have with "CANADA" in the app title. That is the only info there is.

    If you haven't found out which app it is then if you go into list view in the Apps part of your library do any of the apps have an exclamantion mark against them ? If they do then they are the one(s) that iTunes can't find the actual app file(s) for - if you delete that app from your library then if it is still in then you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or you can just download it directly on your phone via the Purchased tab in its App Store app

  • I can't install any apps, showed error of installing

    Sir,

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the method of holding the up/down volume keys until it fully shuts down, and then power up normally.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Also, is there anything more to the error message presented? Typically, it is better to have the exact and complete content of the error message rather than fragments.
    Also, what source of application installation are you attempting? BBWorld? Amazon? SNAP? Something else?
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. The apps I had previously installed are not showing on the screen. They are located in App Store icon. How do I move the icons so they are showing on the screen.

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. The apps I had previously installed are not showing on the screen. They are located in App Store icon. How do I move the icons so they are showing on the screen.

    You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.
