Does MAS show updates if apps are not installed ?

I got several apps from the Mac App Store but deleted some of them. In fact I deleted all traces of these apps even .bom and .plist files in "receipts".
Now updates of not installed apps are not shown in the App Store application. Is this due to the fact that these apps are not installed OR because I deleted the .bom and .plist files in "receipts" ?
Thx.

steps to find these "invisible" resources:
1) In Finder type Command F (Find)
2) In menu bar select "Kind"
3) Scroll down to "Other"
4) Wait a moment (menu has to rebuild itself)
5) Scroll down and select: "System Files"
6) In Finder type Command F (Find)
7) In menu bar select "System Files" and "Are included"
8) Type: "receipts"
voila ,with search results you will get the complete path which should be like: yourharddisk/private/var/db/receipts

  • Apps are not installing on the touch

    I recently run a software upgrade on my ipod touch 4g. it made my games stop working, so i reverted to a version from day before.
    that completely removed all of my apps and music.
    i am now trying to get it all back piece by piece.
    finally got some apps back into my itunes.
    when i try to sync the apps into the ipod, it doesn't install them.
    here is how i am doing it:
    1. download the apps for ipod touch using itunes
    2. click on my ipod touch device
    3. click on "Apps" up top
    4. I can see the apps in the little grid, under "Iphone and ipod touch apps" so i check off the apps i want to install on the touch.
    5. i can see the preview of my touch desktop change, with new game icons i am trying to sync. But when i press "apply" it attemps to do it.. the progress bar blinks for a while, than goes away and nothing is copied. the checks next to the apps are cleared.
    i don't see any errors..

    i just checked for updates and got this message: "this version of ipod software (4.3.2) is the current version"
    anyone know how i can troubleshoot why my programs are not syncing ?

  • Apps are not installing via iTunes,

    I think I am not the first person to have this issue, and Apple won't allow me to contact technical support about it because the ipad is a year old.  I made a video highlighting the problem in detail and the circumstances surrounding it, anyone have any ideas? This issue occured both before and after I upgraded to ios6.

    Did a full restore of my ipad last night, now at least nine different apps failed to install, and once they do it becomes impossible for any other apps to install.  Even tried deleting the app and re-downloading it from app store, still won't sync.

  • Some devices are not installed

    Hello:
          I think that I already installed all the drivers in my W520 but it still showing that some devices are not installed
    In "Other devices" I have the folowing four entries:
    -  Base system device
    - Biometric Coprocessor
    - F5521gw
    - PCI Serial Port
    Could someone help me to identify which drivers I still need ??
    Thanks for the help.
    Regards.
    Solved!

    Hi Turco:
    Download the "System Update" application from this link, install it, and run it.
    This Lenovo application will then fetch the four missing items you list and install them automatically.  It will also check to make sure all the other drivers are up to date.
    The 'biometric coprocessor' is probably the fingerprint reader.  The 'F5521w' is the cell phone modem.  I don't know what the other two items are.
    If you need a list of all the drivers available for your machine, you can get it (and the drivers themselves) from this link, which is the Device Driver File Matrix (DDFM) for the W520.
    But, honestly, it is a heck of a lot simpler, easier, and faster to just download "System Update" and let it do all the work for you.  In fact, you might even have that application on your computer already - just click on the Windows 7 orb (the coloured ball with the flag on it) and type "System Update" into the search box, if it is installed, you will see it appear in the results list.  If it appears, click on it and run it.

  • I updated to ios8 and tried to use Health Application. In Sources I get a message that other applications will show up on the list as they request permission to update your data. How does it happen? No apps are listed on my Sources section

    I have an answer to my question. There is a bug in IOS8 that prevents third party applications to talk to the Health Application. Apple is trying to fix it ASAP

  • My ipad updated to IOS 7 today and now some of my apps are not working properly

    I updated my ipad to IOS7 and now some of my apps are not functioning correctly.  Is there anyway to revert back to previous software?

    I assume that you are familiar with your iPad's portrait orientation lock feature and you have verified your iPhone is not locked in this manner.
    In case you're not familiar, please make sure this icon does not appear on your iPad's status bar:
    If your iPad is not in portrait orientation lock, then the app developer should be prodded into updating their app to fix this defect.  Generally speaking, the App Store indicates a way to contact the developer to inform them of such defects.

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

    None of the spreadsheet apps that work with Excel files offer anything like full native support in iOS.  Apple's own Numbers app pairs down features for the iOS version.  The hardware is simply not up to what a true computer is capable of, so all apps like QuickOffice, DocumentsToGo, Numbers and so forth offer reduced features from their computer-version counterparts.
    I think a custom app will be your only real choice, be it a fully standalone app, or something built in filemaker or some other db-based platform.
