HT202159 How do you reinstall an app that says its already installed but just sitting on my launch pad with a blank download bar underneath I can't reset it or delete it ?

My son has downloaded batman lego but it just sits on the desktop with a white box underneath and nothing happening
In the app store it is saying it has already been installed
We cant delete it in this stage and its not loading either any ideas would be great

First check your Applications folder to see if the app was installled there.
If not, from the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads.
If that doesn't help, try re downloading the app.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original download.
If you hae anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that before downloading apps.

    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • How do you reinstall an app that won't open

    I downloaded and installed Dragon Express for my Macbook Pro.  It shows being installed but it won't open when I click on it.  Any suggestions?  I thought I might uninstall it and reinstall it but when you go to the App Store it shows that's it's been installed and it doesn't give you the option to install it again.

    Clearing Display in Console worked the first time but failed thereafter as the app failed to launch on the second and subsequent times.
    I still want to know how to uninstall an app and then reinstall it.  You would think this would be an obvious option but I don't see it.
    Someone please advise.

    Disney Mickey Mouse Vol. 1
    I just tried this on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.0). I did an iTunes Store search for "Mickey Mouse"...
    After the search result:
    1. Panned over to "Disney Mickey Mouse Vol. 1"
    2. Tapped the icon
    3. Tapped on the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
    At this point nothing happened no matter how many times I tapped the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
    I then:
    1. Tapped the Search button at the top left which took me back to the initial search results.
    2. Tapped on "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Vol.1" (a totally different title)
    3. Tapped on the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
    Then I was presented with the options dialog which includes "Gift"
    I then went back to:
    1. "Disney Mickey Mouse Vol. 1"
    2. Tapped the icon
    3. Tapped on the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
    At this point, I was now presented with the options dialog which includes "Gift"
    So in my case, going through the motions with a -different title-, then going back to  "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Vol.1" fixed it for me.

  • How do you reinstall the app store on a mac computer?

    I accidentally deleted the app store on my macbook pro. How do you reinstall the app store app on your computer?

    There is no Mac App Store on Mac OS X 10.6.5 or earlier.
    On Mac OS X 10.6.6 through 10.6.8, run the combo updater for your OS version or a newer Snow Leopard one.
    On Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, and reinstall the OS.

    That large yellow font is very hard to read.
    The App Store app can't be deleted but can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions
    Have you tried using the Spotlight search. Maybe you just can find it.
    If you go to Settings is ther a Setting for the App store?

    i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • App Store says Lion is installed but it isn't - What happened?

    I have the appropriate qualifying hardware and software and downloaded Lion, clicked on proceed and App Store says it is installed but it isn't.
    Any ideas?

    "Me too"
    Yet another individual in the same boat. ***, Apple?! Why must getting software be so obscure & complicated? What happened to: go to website, download thing, install thing?
    I had Xcode 4.1 installed. Wanted to install (yet another) package with MacPorts, but got complaint that Xcode 4.1 is inadequate.
    So I go to App Store & tell it to install current Xcode…This, BTW, left me with nearly zero feedback that something was going on. Only because I have a menubar widget showing network bandwidth did I know it was downloading.
    while waiting (who knows how long it was to be), I had to sleep my computer to take it with me to work.
    Upon waking my computer, App Store tells me Xcode is installed. Great!
    Back to MacPorts to install that package: it tells me that Xcode 4.1 is too old. ***!?
    Then things get messy & I end up clicking on the circle-X "button" next to XCode in the "Purchases" section of App Store, thinking that'll allow me to install it…that's a dead end
    I then try entirely removing "/Developer" & "/Applications/Install Xcode.app"another dead end
    Trying all combinations of holding any/all keyboard modifiers (option/control/shift/command) while clicking on "Purchases" in App Store did nothing different than not holding any.
    Now I'm left with no Xcode & no way to install it with App Storewhee! this is a fine pit I find myself in now.
    What a lovely user experience! Please, may I have more?! <grumble> <fume>
    In the end, I did resort to my "what happened to…" thought.
    Problem Solved:
    Go to http://connect.apple.com/ & login with your (free) dev account.
    Locate the current version of Xcode (4.3.2 for Lion) & download the dmg
    Install like a normal person. (copy the Xcode.app from the mounted disk image to Applications)
    After a bit of cleanup (things like "/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version" were trying to access things that used to exist), I've again got a working install of Xcode.

    I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!
