I purchased an app but it won't install

I purchased an app, it shows as purchased but when I hit install it comes up with an error message to say that it couldn't start. I have a Macbook with Lion. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks.

Hi, I just went to try installing the app again to grab a screen shot, and it has installed!
The laptop has been shut down and restarted again, it seems the info I found re clearing the cache has worked after all, but for whatever reason it needed to be completely shut down to take effect.
Thanks anyway!

How do I install purchased apps on ipad2? It says I have purchased the apps but they are not installed.

I have just purchased an ipad2 and purchased 2 apps. This is my first ipad. The ipad says I have purchased these apps but they are not installed. I don't know how to install them. Also I can only see them if I go to either the app store or the game center and click on purchased. I would like them to show up on screen that shows when I open the ipad but maybe that only happens when they are installed?

Did you purchase them directly on the iPad or on your computer's iTunes ? If on your iPad in the App Store app then have you checked to see if they are on a different homescreen by swiping the homescreen to the left ? If they are on a different screen, and there are spaces on the first homescreen then you can move them :
Touch and hold any icon for a couple of seconds until the icons jiggle .
Arrange the icons by dragging them (don't drag too quickly). You can't leave gaps between icons on a page
to move them to a different screen drag them (not too quickly) and then hold them so that they are overhanging the edge of the screen - after a couple of seconds or so the display should change to the next/previous screen (depending on which edge you are holding it) and you can then place the icon.
Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
If you downloaded them on your computer then you can either connect your iPad to your computer and sync them across, or go into the App Store app on the iPad and re-download them via the Purchased tab (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)

I've paid for extras on an app but it won't install them

I bought an app the other day and subsequently paid £30 for extra stuff but it won't install them. Help!?

Keep in mind, the total cost of the apps and in-app purchases may exceed the account balance due to any applicable taxes or fees.

Purchased PS LR5, but it won't install to my Mac OSX 10.6.8

the installer demands for OSX 10.7 or higher, but the Mac says "no updates".
Any body with a good idea?
Thank you in advance ...

Games I bought years ago, Texas Holdem and iQuiz will no longer transfer to my iPod Classic. They show in my computer "Apps" but they won't transfer. They no longer show that they can be "Re-Downloaded" from "Previously Purchased" they don't exist there.

TS1702 I have a book ready to download on my iPad (paid for) and it won't download. It just tells me to go to "purchased and download" but it won't. What can I do. P.s. I tried syncing

i cannot download a iBook that I have paid for. It just tells me to go to purchased and download but it won't let download

Thanks, I deleted a bunch of apps and some other TV shows I had on there. All of the other movies have an active download button so there is room for other movies, just not that one for some reason...weird!

My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

See if this helps:

I purchased a film but it won't play because iTunes says I need to authorize the computer, but when I do that it says the computer is already authorized. Huh - some system. Any ideas?

I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation...

I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation... What's causing this and how do I fix this?

What is the latest iOS for iPad 2? Is it iOS 7 or can you update to 8?
all I remember is that my iPad mini performed poorly under iOS 7. Try to update it to the very latest version. Also you will have to use iOS 8.1.3, because 8.1.2 is no longer signed in case you were trying to install that. You can get the latest IPSW from http://IPSW.me just enter in your device and it will forward you to the right Apple ios download link.
Another thing is keeping your device memory free, if you have a 16 gig device, it's harder to keep space free. my iPad mini is 16 gig, but all I can ever keep free is 1 GB so I keep it at that. Turn off "iCloud photo sharing beta" and that will help a little bit. also when you do a restore from iTunes, don't restore your backup right away, see how it performs fresh, and then add your apps back in one at a time you might have to sacrifice photos and other personal things for performance.

For some reason I am unable to download apps. I have downloaded several apps in the past but all of a sudden my I Phone 4S will not download. I have totally reset my entire phone but that didn't work. My account shows that I purchased the app but it just appears as a grey square on my home page. Even tried other apps but nothing. Any suggestions?

Try syncing the iPhone to iTunes. If it doesn't appear, then log in to your account and check Purchased.
You're in the Mac App Store Community, if my suggestion doesn't work, then repost in https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
