How do I install an app when the app indicates it is already installed, but it is not?

I am trying to install NFL 2011, but the app store indicates this app is already installed, but it is not. The "install" button is already faint.

Have you checked all your homescreens and folders for it, and if you type in its name on the spotlight search screen (slide the first homescreen to the right) does that find it ? If you've got the maximum number of screens full (which I think is 11) then you can only access the extra apps via the search screen.
Also, depending on whether the app has an age rating, have you set restrictions via via Settings > General > Restrictions.
Another option is a reset and then see if it appears after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How do I install InDesign CC when the app overview says "up to date" even though I haven´t installed anything yet?

It sounds like maybe you installed a trial at some point in the past and trashed the application folder rather than doing an uninstall?
Have you tried the cleaner tool:

All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, whether or not they are free. To do in-app purchases in that app you will either need to log in with the account that downloaded it, or delete it (which will delete its content) and download it with your currently logged in account if you want to do IAPs on that account.

When I try to install QuickTime, I get the message "newer version is already installed". How can I do?

When I try to install QuickTime, I get the message "newer version of QuickTime already installed". I uninstalled QuickTime. I have also gone into the registry and deleted all references regarding QuickTime. I really don't want to have to reinstall Windows just to be able to install QuickTime. I have used QuickTime for years and want to use it again. What do you suggest I do?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

How to import for other mac when the initial set up as already been done?

I've just got a new macbook from my organization but the IT people have already set up the system in order to install some applications. I know that when you open a new system, you can choose to import data from your old computer but how can you do this when the set up as already been performed without importing the data from the old computer? I don't want to reinstall the system since I would loose all the new applications and the IT people don't want to reinstall them.
My old laptop is an Ibook G4 1.07 with 10.3.9 and the new one is a macbook 2.16 GHz with 10.4.10.
Thanks for any help
Thierry

Hi Thierry,
You can connect the two Macs in *target disk mode*, see this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
and copy any file you need from the iBook to the MB.
Start with the safest though:
Use the "import" functions in all applications that offer this possibility.
Only with the files that you can't import through GUI, you can go on further and copy the Applications Support files, the Preferences, etc
(usually in Home/Library, some rare cases in Macintosh HD/Library).

How do I stop Messages notifications when the app is closed?

Messages have an annoying tendancy to still "come through" even after I've quit the program, popping up in the right hand corner of my screen until I attend to them. How do I stop this from happening? There are many times in the day when I'd like to not receive messages from contacts/friends/families and just concentrate on work. I can turn my phone off, silence it, etc. to stop messages from coming through there, but on my computer, where I am working, turning off the device in question is not an option. With Messages on Mavericks, quitting the program doesn't seem to do the trick.

Alternative.
In Messages > Preferences > General Section.
Untick the "When I Quit, Set the Status to Off Line"
This will stop the IMAgent Support app "listening" to the servers for new messages.
It works best if there is a Buddy list account as well as iMessages (such AIM or Jabber).

It should work. Make sure you are installing the same version. If you continue to have a problem try contacting Adobe Support thru chat:

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them? I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

How do I Install or re-buy iPhoto for my Mac when the app can't lunch?

How do I Install or re-buy iPhoto for my Mac when the app can't lunch?
The App Store does not let me buy iPhoto from scratch nor update it. I used the original Applications Install DVD to re-install iPhoto, and the icon appeared but the app could not be used because iPhoto 2.1 is not compatible with the Mac operating system OS X (10.9.2)? I thried to update manually through apple support, and a notification of unauthorized licence did not let it happen. What is this? What happened with my iPhoto? What can I do to solve this and safe my photos? I'm willing to pay for it, but even the app store say that it can't becuase it was suppousely bought through another account? Please help!

Not launching is probablay not a software issue - it is probably a data issue
No - iPhoto 2 version 2.1 is not compatible with Mavericks - or pretty much anything else - you need to purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store

How can I install an app from the App Store to all the iMacs in my lab?

Hi,
I'm using ARD to administer an iMac lab. I know how to install packages using ARD, but App Store apps require an Apple ID. I want to install free educational apps (not paid) on every machine in my lab.
Should I make a new Apple ID for myself as administrator, or for the school? Or can I use my own?
How do I automatically install an App Store app on every computer? Do I have to manually enter my Apple ID and password on every machine or is there an automated way, as with packages?
The current version of ARD (3.6) doesn't seem to have been updated with the App Store in mind. There should be a way to enter my credentials and automatically "sign" the apps, then deploy them with one click like regular packages.
Or, is there a limit to the number of seats that can run an app downloaded under one ID, even with free apps? In that case, how the heck do I get a free app installed on every machine?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job). What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software. (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.) The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance. I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers. When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install. We did! But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)
