Cannot replace damaged app

I have an app - Memory Clean - which was recently updated on the App Store. After the update was downloaded/installed, the app failed to open. I received an error message that it was damaged and that I should reinstall it.
I therefore deleted the app and all of its various related files (thank you, Hazel), went onto the App Store and tried to download it again.
However, the App Store will not do this. It tells me that the app is "installed". In fact a careful search of my entire computer shows that there is no app or other file called Memory Clean or anything similar to that - which makes sense, because I deleted the damaged copy.
Is there some way to "reset" my App Store account so that it refreshes its records of what is installed on my computer?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Is there a backup drive connected that has the app installed on it?

How to replace an App purchased by another Apple ID?

There is a free app purchased from an abondoned Apple ID while other apps are from the current Apple ID. So, I want to download the free app again with the current Apple ID. But there are data with the app, so deleting it and download again means the data will be erased.
How can I replace the app using the current Apple ID and retain all data? (I have Time Machine backup).

You cannot.

You need to Delete the Old App and then get it again using Your Current Apple ID.

Cannot download an app purchased on the web store

Hi,
Yesterday I purchased Logic Pro X from the web business store. The purchase process appears to be "completed" in my Orders page on the Apple website. As of now, I cannot see the app among the Purchased apps in the Mac App Store, nor I can see a button anywhere to download it without repurchasing it.
Does anybody has an idea of how to download this app?
Thank you,
Paolo

David, thank you for you hint. I was starting to suspect that purchases made in the business store need some time for the burocratic part, and is not as immediate as purchases made inside the App Store. Quite odd, since all other software purchases I do with other companies result in immediate download. Probably, Apple do not have enough computers to replace all the paperwork...

Cannot find install.app

I had to have a new hard drive put into my Mac mini. I am trying to re-install by boxed set of Adobe Creative Suite master collection 5.5 but cannot find install.app on any of the three disks. Can anyone help? Thanks.

There's something else I have just remembered. The master suite collection was a student edition that I had the platform changed for, from Windows to Mac. This explains why the serial number on the box doesn't work. It had to be cancelled. So now the situation is that I need to track down the serial number it was replaced with. Thing is, I can't remember what Adobe did. I have relevant emails still, but only saying they have cancelled the old serial number (that's on the box) nothing about a replacement one.
Any thoughts?

When on Facebook (for example), Firefox is not allowing me to open pictures; when using apps, the bottom of the screen is missing so cannot utilize the apps. All working on Safari; just downloaded new Firefox 4, so seems to be a problem with this version?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
*You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

I cannot get the apps off my 3gs and onto my 4s.

I cannot get the apps off my 3gs and onto my 4s. When I try to "sync apps" on the 3gs, it threatens wipe them all away - says it will replace apps on my phone with apps in my library - but then shows no apps.

Hi
Is't it so that a Canon CyberShot-Camera is a Still Camera that can take Video clips ?
If so
Import into iPhoto (video goes here too)
then in iMovie import

I have just got a new iphone 4 today. I put the wrong email in when the guy set it up and now have a different apple id to the one i have at home and want to use. Can I change the set up on my phone as i cannot activate my apps etc as email i gave wrong.

Hello I got an Iphone 4 today. The guy set it up for me in the shop and i couldnt remember my apple password so i set up phone using my work email. However I have given him the incorrect one and now at home cannot access the apps or itunes as I cannot verify my apple id. Can i now change it on my phone to the one i use at home? I have worked out how to change it on the computer but dont know were to change it on my phone is it possible? Help.... sal

when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

I cannot update my apps to both my iphone4 and ipad2.

I cannot update my apps to both my iphone4 and ipad2. They both have the same apple id. I Cant update for almost a month now. But i can download new ones. Pls help. I have done the logout-reboot-login thing but still it cannot update. I also checked my itunes n there are no items stalled, no restrictions, etc. Really appreciate your help. Thanks

One thing that might work is .... Go to the purchased tab in the app store. Tap on an app that needs an update. That will take you to the app description page. Tap on the app icon in there and see if you can download the update. Could be very time consuming, but it might work.
This is a recently talked about trick that might work. Its more for the "Cant' connect to the iTunes Store" issue, but you can try it.
Go to Settings>General>Date and time. Change the date and time to some time in the future and see if that helps.
Lastly, you can always update the apps in iTunes on your computer and them sync them to the iPad.

I have the iPhone 4S and I cannot get my apps to download. I will click free then install and then it will ask for my password. Once I enter my password correctly it will verify my password an then it won't do anything. what should I do?

I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!

I cannot download any apps on my Iphone. It keeps telling me to go to Itune store and change my billing informationa and I have done this and it stiil says the same thing and won't let me download any apps.

I cannot downlaod any apps on my IPhone. It keeps telling me to go to the ITune store and change my billing information and I have done that and it still won't let me download apps.

If you don't have access to that AppleID and want to receive future updates, you will needto purchase the applications ) what i want to do now ? please tell me

Either use the Apple ID you used when you originally purchased the applications or you will have to purchase them using your Apple ID. If you did not have the other Apple ID, then you have the applications illegally or they were improperly included with a computer you purchased from someone else.
