I downloaded mac os lion last night but didn't install. App store says I've installed it but I can't find where it is on my computer

why didn't os x lion install on my Macbook Pro?

The installation should have been automatic when you downloaded it. Do you have the new lion features (like mission control, new scrolling bars, airdrop etc.)? If you do, there is no problem.

Hi usmanladu,
You can redownload your apps from the App Store.

I just loaded snow leopard but removed the the mac app store icon from the doc and now I can't find it

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks

Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications.

Hi Just been into the apple store and the assistant told me about Pages / Keynote and Numbers for mac that can be downloaded for free. When I've searched on the app store there is only a paid version! can anyone confirm that there is a free version?

Make sure your Mac is set to English before you go to the App Store.
Be warned however thast Pages 5, with a few exceptions is actually a downgrade with over 90+ features removed:

App store says I have two updates but noting displays

App store says I have two updates but noting displays? any one have any ideals, by the way this is happing on both of my ipad mini's.

Well, try this instead:
From Demo:
If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.
I'm sure things will get straightened out with Apple's servers. Just learn to be patient.

HT1338 App Store says I have six updates but when I click on update tab I get blank white screen

That's strange....
Under Snow Leopard (which is the forum you posted in), updates are done through Software Update. Not the App Store.

Mac app store says iwork is installed, but its not.

The Mac App store says that Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are all installed on my iMac, but when I open them, they are the previous versions. Should I delete and try to re-install? What do I do? I've already restarted. Didn't work. Suggestions?

Don't delete them. That will not help and you will find that they have more features than the new iWork apps. You can have both version on the computer. You have to have the latest version of iWork 09 for this to work.
To get the new ones.
1. log out of MacAppStore
2. Change the localized language in the System preferences> Language and Text > Text. Make sure the new language is on the top of the list
3. Restart the computer
4. Log in and open the MAcAppStore. Now you should see that you can download the new iWork apps. Do so and supply you AppleID for the appStore.
5.When done change language again in the System preferences
6. Restart the computer
7. now you should have the stripped version of iWork. The old one will still be in the application folder too.

Mac app store say iphoto ready installed but i dont

i want buy iphoto 11 but app store say installed ready how i do for buy my upgrade iphoto , how I contac whit app store for fix my downloads

Hi and welcome.....
Quit the Mac App Store (Command + Q)
Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes/Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click the *Reet warnings* and *Reset cache* buttons.
Now from the menu bar again click Store / View My Account. Click: Sign Out
Now launch the Mac App Store and try purchasing iPhoto 11 again.
If that didn't help either, install the 10.6.6 combo update available here.

Restart your Mac and try again.
If you still have problems, you can email Mac App Store Customer Service here.

App Store says Xcode is installed but it isn't, so I can't install XCode

What can I say. I tried to install XCode but it did not finish. Now the App Store thinks XCode is installed. I need XCode for MacPorts to work. Does anyone know how I can tell the App Store XCode is not installed?

"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.

App store says there's a notification,but inside nothing.i have iOS 7 on iPad 2 and this just happened :/

i have an iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.2 and the App Store says that there's an App update,but when I open it there's nothing to update (Facebook was already updating at the time) and it's just annoying,plz help
P.S: I don't think this has anything to do with iOS 7 since I updated it to 7.0.2 long ago and this problem was a long time after that

iOS. user wrote:

The notification will remain until the update completes.

Fresh Lion install, but App Store says some programs installed

I've just done a complete wipe and reinstall of Lion on my Mac Mini (don't ask!), When I first loaded up App Store it said that two of my Apps were already installed! How can that be?! And can I do anything about it?
I've tried loggin out and back in. And I've done a deep level search for anything relating to the two programmes, but nothing shows up (I did a root level search).
The 2 Apps are EagleFiler and Skitch
thanks.

David ..
Since the App Store is relatively new there's likley to be bugs.
Providing feedback to Apple helps > Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
This tip helped another user but doesn't work for everyone.
Drag the App Store icon straight up off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ..
Now go to the Applications folder and drag the App Store icon to the Dock.
Restart your Mac, launch the App Store to see if that made a difference. It certainly can't hurt anything.

App Not In Applications folder, but App Store says it's installed.

Anybody have any ideas on this?
One of my apps is missing from my Applications folder, so I went into the app store to try to re-download it, however the application store says the App in question is installed...
There is a 'free' version of the same app in the app store, so I decided to try downloading it, which works, but again the full version of the App is still missing...

Neither of these ideas apply...
Prior to exausting everything I could think of, the free version was not installed, and in fact had never been 'purchased' (it did not show up in my purchases list, and the button on it read 'free' instead of 'install')...
The first thing I did was a spotlight search for JPEGmini, with no results comming up.
I then went into the App Store which is when I found that it was reported as installed.
I proceeded to use the Terminal app to try and determine if a hidden flag had been set on the app in the Applciatons folder (rendering it present but invisible), but was able to confirm there was no applicable hidden item...
It was then that I 'bought' and downloade the free version, just to see if it would work. It worked as expected, and even upon deleting the app the 'INSTALLED' indicator in the App Store went back to an 'INSTALL' button...
I've since removed the free version but am still unable to install the full version...

I can't authorize my computer! I just changed computers and I can't access my old purchases because I can't find where to authorize my new computer!! I can deauthorize the other computers, which I just did, but it can't find anything else

I can't find the "Authorize your computer" in the Itunes Store. I can't download my old purchases because it tells me I have to authorize the computer, but I can't find it anywhere!! I can enter my account and deauthorize the old computers, which I did, but nothing happens. I can't find the "Advanced" option anywhere either.

Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

App Store says I've installed pages 5.0.1 but I get 4.3 when I open it up. Docs from pages 5.0 won't open

I can open my old documents but new ones made on pages 5 won't open. I checked the app store and it says I've installed 5. Any idea why I'm having a problem???

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

I downloaded mac os lion last night but didn't install. App store says I've installed it but I can't find where it is on my computer
