Install button appears for already installed apps

Hello.
After updating to Yosemite all my installed AppStore purchases appear as non-installed.
When I click "Install" button, AppStore redownloads an app (I see the installation progress) and "Install" button changes to "Installed", but when I reload "Purchases" page - "Install" button appears again.
I assume this is an issue.
I tried to delete AppStore cache vie CleanMyMac but it didn't help. Also after reading several topics in this community I have to specify that Spotlight is disabled on my system (if it matters).

It does matter, quite a lot in fact. The App Store relies on the Spotlight index to tell what is installed.
If you need Spotlight disabled for any reason, add only the problematic locations to the privacy tab in System Preferences > Spotlight.
Never disable it completely or add the whole system disk to privacy.

Why doesn't the add button appear on the contacts app

Ever since I updated my iPod to the latest version the add button has gone from my contacts list

Go to Settings>iCloud and make sure Contacts is on. Same for Calender too if yo want to add events.

How to set password login window appear for 'Mac Mail' app?

This is possible, when we remove the email password from my keychain using account preference. But some of our client wants login window password which is different from email password.
Is this possible??

no. but if you protect your iPhone with a password, I don't think you need a separate one just for your email.

Button Entrance Effect Issue - Button appears, disappears, then fades in!

Hi.
I feel really dumb that I can't figure this out. I just got Adobe Captivate 6 (we were using 4 before, thus I missed 5 and 5.5) and had fallen temporarily into bad company in another authoring tool that I won't name, but rhymes with "LordyTime".
Anyway...
I am trying to do something fairly simple...just add an animation effect to a button so that when the button enters (about 4 seconds into the slide timeline) it fades and grows.
So, I placed the button on the stage, I right clicked it, and then I said "Apply Effect". I then clicked the "Add Effect" button and selected "FadedZoomIn" from the list. It added itself to the effects timeline starting at 00:00 and ending at the end of 00:01.
When I preview the slide, however, the button appears for a very short "blip", then disappears, then grows and fades as expected.
I can't believe that Adobe intended this to be the way that the effect works...so I'm thinking I'm missing something.
Help? Lilybiri, are you out there?
Thanks.
Rob

I'm here but bit overwhelmed due to several circumstances
Are those shape buttons? With the patch of October, this glitching appeared for shapes to which you apply an effect. I got a hotfix but it is not distributed publicly. Perhaps try to contact Adobe, or if you have a subscription this will certainly be fixed in 6.1. Cannot check, do not have the new release myself.
Sometimes a workaround, where you apply a short fade in to the shape will solve (but not always) the problem

Why can't I get the "Install App" button in the app store to work for OX Mavericks?

I am trying to install OS Mavericks and I can not get the "Install App" button to work in the App store. When I double click it runs for 2 seconds and then stops. I am running OS Lion 10.7.5 now so I should be able to install and run OS Mavericks. What am I doing wrong or can anyone tell me what I need to do? Thanks!

Single-click the button.

When I click on "view in itunes" in IE 10 for an advertised app, it takes me to Apple Store but says I need to install itunes first even though it is already installed.

One of my apps disappeared as an icon! When I double tapped my home button it showed up at the bottom of the page. When I held my finger the red edit button appeared on app and I hit it! App is gone. Can't redownload as shows installed. Help!

One of my apps has disappeared from my screen! I tried double tapping home button and the app showed up in the icon bar. I tapped and held the app and the red edit box appeared in left corner of app. I then hit the red button and the app went away. I tried to redownload but the app store shows as a purchased and installed app. Not sure how to recapture the app. Help

You did't delete it. It's still there. You just deleted it from your history (a handy thing, 'cause it drains battery with what you would call RAM-usage). Swipe from screen to screen to find it. The only thing you might have lost, is any unsaved data in it (depending on tha kind of app it was e.g. Pages). It is the equivalent of quitting the application on a computer.

I am not able to update any apps, when I tap on update, installing, appears for a second and 'update' appears again.

On my iphone5 , When I tap on update, installing, appears for a second and update appears
Again and it does not updates, this happens on my ipad2 and iPhone 3 also.

Settings>General>Software Update is currently only available for IOS 5 and above.
If your are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software

HT4759 After installing update to new version... All games and apps that were on 6 version now have a cloud with an arrow pointing down next to them.... Upon clicking the cloud a circle rotation appears for a minute then back to the same symbol no change

What does the cloud symbol with arrow pointing down signify? After update to ios7 the majority of games and apps in App Store now have this symbol and upon clicking on a rotating circle appears for a minute ....then gone .... Then back to cloud symbol woth arrow down.... No change?

Hey Smlfamily,
Thanks for the question. It may be best to restore from a back up from before the update. This will restore your applications, as well as the layout of your home screen (the placement of your icons). To do so, see the following (based on if your backup is with iTunes or iCloud):

Adobe Creative Cloud app not displaying already installed apps and can't install new apps Mac OS 10.9

Hi,
I've been using the new Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for a couple weeks now perfectly fine, until yesterday. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects quite extensively. This morning, I opened the Adobe CC app and all but Adobe Acrobat Pro show installed. The other already installed apps have buttons to "install" but clicking this button shows the "Exit Code: 7 - Unable to complete Silent workflow" error in the logs. Ive tried disabling my Sophos antivirus program and restarted several times. The already installed applications themselves seem to function normally, they open and work projects. I've even tried to uninstall one of the already installed programs (Bridge) and it fails to uninstall, saying I need to restart my computer and disengage my anti-virus, which I've done. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Adobe CC app as well, and have the same result. Help.

So I've completed the solutions listed in the help article with no changes. Here is how it has gone with each solution listed in the article. Also, it is not clear in the article whether these steps are to be done in sequence or may solve the problem individually, but since Solution 1 fails for me, doing them in sequence was impossible.
Solution 1: Mac OS: Run the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove the program listed as up-to-date.
This does not work because uninstalling any of these applications does not work. As I stated in the post, the uninstaller for all of my adobe applications (photoshop, bridge, indesign etc) throws the same error each time saying I need to: restart my computer (done) close all applications (done) and disable my antivirus (done, which was fully engaged when I installed the apps originally with no issue) and disable my firewall (done, I don't use one). Not sure what I'm missing on that, plus its a real bummer that I need to reinstall all of my CC apps even if the uninstaller did work because my creative cloud app won't recoginize they've been installed.
Solution 2: Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
This did nothing.
Solution 3: Download and install the latest version of Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app from Creative Cloud for desktop.
This did nothing.
Solution 4: See the steps listed in Solution 1 to remove all installed Adobe Creative software. Once all Adobe Creative software has been removed, use the CS Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal. You can find details in Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
This did not do much because I can't uninstall the software to begin with.
What am I missing?

Recently when I install apps, the icon does not appear on the menu screen, also, it shows that it is down loading at the app store and when complete, I can not open it or reinstall it. Help Please o,

Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.

What is process ton install already paid Apps on new Ipad2?

Hi,
I bought some applications on my first Ipad2. After I changed it to a nw one (the first one had the famous backlight leaking problem), I had a problem with an app. The creator of the Apps said that I should delete my app and install it again. Then after that I should just buy the books again and they will not charge for it.
Is this correct? Because when I click on buying the book, it stills asks for my creditcardnumber.
Can I just go on and enter the cardnumber. And then they will not charge me for it again? Or how does this work? I suppose that everything bought is related to my Appleid or is not?
Thx,
David

It's only just appeared (I think since Monday's announcements). Apps that are still installed should be on the 'All' button at the top, the 'Not On This iPad' should just be the ones that you've deleted. And I'm assuming that the buttons only show apps related to the currently logged in Apple Id.
The App Store in iTunes (version 10.3 which I've managed to get on my Mac, but my PC shows 10.2 as the current version) also now has a Purchased link on the right-hand side of the store front in the 'Quick Links' section. There doesn't yet appear to be a 'delete from history' option (and there have been threads from people wanting to know how to remove entries), and I don't know whether one will appear - I wonder if it's maybe more likely that something like a 'hide' button and an associated 'hidden' tab will appear for those apps that you don't want to clutter up the 'Not In My Library' in iTunes or 'Not on My iPad' on the iPad
Thx for this great info.
I also hope they will add a "delete" or "hidden" button very soon. And if it is so new, they will tune it up very soon I hope. Cause it is very strange that I can see al the tested/installed apps, but not the one I bought.
I just saw that my Itunes is version 10.2 (PC) and it is as you say the latest version, and to see the purchased stuff it need the 10.3
Well I am sure they will update it soon for the PC people.
As I mostly use the AppShopper and not connect the Ipad to my PC (only every two or three weeks), I don´t see this stuff. But thx to people like you I get great information :-)
This afternoon I will try and buy the app and see if they charge me or not :-)
Thx again King_Penguin for your help and great explanations (as usual!).
Regards,
David

Already installed apps re-install themselves spontaneously!

Already installed apps re-install themselves spontaneously!
Yesterday, I installed iPhoto and iMovie. I didn’t use them in editing photos or videos but I opened them after installation to make sure that they were downloaded correctly and completely.
Today, I installed iBooks then opened it after completion of downloading and everything was alright. When I went back to my home screen I found that both icons of iPhoto and iMovie are dark with a download meter on them and the word “loading” below (as if I was downloading them for the first time!). I went to my settings and found both apps already there but when I went to “apps made by Apple” in the AppStore I found them started installation. I waited till completion of this second installation for both apps and when I launched them they didn’t show the welcome screen that appears after fresh installation or new update, i.e. they opened directly to their home screen.
Could anyone explain this to me?
BTW: the device is a brand new iPad running iOS 7.0.4 and I have only installed iWork apps + iPhoto + iMovie + iBooks.

Why uninstall then reinstall? and to fix what?
Both apps launched normally after installation for the first time, and in the next day I installed iBooks which also launched normally but when I went out of it I saw iPhoto & iMovie started redownloading themselves spontaneously.
I found that the icons were automatically rearranged alphabetically, so I thought that the apps were just refreshing their icons or something like that, but the installation process proceeded and I waited till its completion, then I opened both apps and everything was fine.
My question here is what caused this weird behavior?
Is it a bug in iOS 7.0.4?
Is it something related to iBooks?
Did the reinstallation process replaced the existing files without consuming my storage memory?

How can I install apps on a device that has a "for work" app installed?

Hi, I have an iPod touch version 4.3.5 (ML1). Model is MC540C.
It has been provided for me from work, but I can use it as I wish.
The apps that are installed are:
Facetime
Music
Photos
Camera
Videos
YouTube
Stocks
Notes
Weather
Utilities
App Store
Game Center
Settings
Contacts
iTunes
Safari
Maps
Mail
Calendar
"one app installed by company"
The last app is needed for when I do work. It doesn't need to run on the background. When I'm doing work, I need to input some information in that app, and sync it to my company's server.
I would like to install some apps (free) of my choosing. But I'm coming across a hurdle...
I choose "App Store" in Home.
I search for a free App (for example the Google Search app by Google Inc)
I'm taken to the app's info screen. I tap the blue "Free" button.
The button becomes a green "Install App" button.
I get a pop-up box saying
Apple ID password
[email protected]
[password]
How can I install apps of my choosing without having a "work app" get deleted? This work app was installed on the "[email protected]" Apple ID.
Thank you.

Ingo2711, when you did this:
I logged out of my AppleID on the iPod, took it to his computer, synced it, which erased all of my apps. I installed the default apps plus one app that he bought using his account info.
You made his computer the syncing computer.
When you did this:
Connected to my Mac and iTunes and tried to sync one of the apps I bought with my account. The app shows up on one of the pages before you start the sync, but once you apply the sync, it does not transfer.
And, of cause, no restrictions set at all.
You changed syncing computers but you can only sync apps (and some other things like photos) from only your one syncing computer.
