Install option not available in App Store for some apps

Why is the option to install not available for some apps?  The app info shows up but the install button is not there.

The button should read either the price of the App, or Free if they are free. Alternatively if you have purchased/downloaded the App in the past but deleted it from the device, it should have a button with a cloud icon.
Pressing it will initate download and installation.
Is none of this the case?

  • Why doesn't the download button appear on the App Store for some apps?

    Hey. So, I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.4. And the download button doesn't appear on the App Store for some apps. So, I would be happy if someone could help me with this problem..

    Remove the App Store app from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the App Store app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    Try the App Store again

  • I upgraded MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) to yosemite. I have no more access to Finder, App Store and some apps. Since I have no access to App Store I cannot download the missing  parts. How can I get access to App Store?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
    Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.

  • HT204266 Searching The App Store for Specific Apps?????

    Apple products have changed my life for the better. Apple websites?... well let's just say that I find them difficult to use. Take the App Store, for instance, having just purchased an iPad I am interested in purchasing some apps to use on it. Alas when I check out the listings on the App Store I am unable to find the apps I am interested in. First off I am unsure which category to look in...would bird identification guides be listed under sports or reference? I checked both and neither appears to contain the birdwatching guide I am interested in, iBird Pro. Is there any way to conduct a search of the App Store for a particular app? I tried typing iBird Pro into the search window and it found nothing...
    Thanks

    Michael,
    Problem Solved! If you can believe this if you go to the iTunes Store and click on the Browse Apps Store link at the bottom right corner of the page you will be brought to a page displaying the various App Categories (Books, Business, Catalogs, etc). In the upper right hand corner of this page there is a search box. I had typed iBird Pro and then birdwatching into this search box and got the No Suggestions Found error message. Today I spoke with a support person at Apple and together we discovered what the problem is. The search box on this Browse App Store page DOES NOT SEARCH FOR APPS in the App Store, rather it just searches on the Apple site. To search for apps you must do so through the actual iTunes Store site.
    I pointed out to  the rep (a very nice lady) that in labeling the option "Browse App Store" they are leading the viewer to believe that clicking on the link actually brings you to the Apps Store Page and thus should allow you to perform an Apps Search. She allowed as to how she supposed one might think that, to which I replied that it's not exactly "intuitive" to realize that clicking Browse App Store just brings up a dummy/model but non operative site.
    Her reply to this?
    Well it's intuitive now that you know it...
    Bill Gates, are you listening?
    Thanks again for your help.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me download certain apps. They show up on itunes but not on my phone, if I download the app from my computer it loads on my phone then immediately disappears. The 'FREE' button is white in the app store for certain apps. PLEASE HELP!

    I'm so frustrated and in desperate need of help, I don't know what else to do! Certain apps such as Tumblr (I've previously had the Tumblr app on my phone) and Vine will NOT dowload on my phone. I've tried deleting all apps from both my iPhone and iTunes, I've tried restoring my phone then backing it up, I've tried downloading the app from iTunes while my phone is plugged into my computer, etc. When I search the apps in the app store they show up but the 'FREE' button is white and unclickable, it's very frustrating. When I download it from iTunes while my phone is plugged in I can watch it download, but when it's done it immediately dissapears from the screen and from my phone. When I plug my phone into iTunes it say I have the Tumblr and Vine apps, but I assure you, I do not. I have deleted and tried to add them so many times but it never works. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Only half of install button visible in app store for two apps

    Only for 2 apps that may have been removed accidentaly (by my son) the install button in the app store is only partly visible, grey, and does not respond to clicking.
    Hard reset didn't help. Just before this happened i updated from ios5 to 6.
    Please advise how to get these apps back.

    I just figured out that it has everything to do with the restrictions that I had set up for my children.  I had set it up for the apps to be for 9+ and the ones that had half an install button that was greyed out were for older. Hope that help!

  • After ios 8 update on ipad mini. None of my apps connect to app store for in app purchases.

    In app purchases worked before ios 8 update was installed on ipad mini. Restrictions are turned off. Can login to app store and purchase and download apps. Can't do in app purchases. Anybody else have this problem?

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

  • HT2589 Unable to use my Apple ID in the App store for free apps without card details

    I set up an AppleID independently of setting up an iPad. I tried to download the free iBooks app and came to a screen asking for the AppleID and then requiring that I enter a payment method. I have seen in forums that this is a common problem. I have updated the os to 5.1. I have tried to log in to iTunes on my pc but with the same result.
    Is it yet possible to set up an App store account without payment method using an existing AppleID?

    Hi ...
    The iBooks app comes pre installed on an iPad.
    If you can't locate the iBooks app, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    If that didn't help, swipe left of the Home screen. Type   iBooks  in the search field.

    Hello Lynds1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message

  • HT204053 When I am purchasing from the app store for free apps my card is not being accepted. It's the same account I keep putting in the 3 digit security code. It still is not accepting it therefore cannot update my games.

    Please can someone help me. I have been using my present account card for almost 2 years. Recently when purchasing free apps from store, I put in my password, then it takes me to my account to enter the security code for my card I do this and I have even re-entered the new card and it's still not accepting it.
    Hence I cannot update or buy until I do this. The same thing happened with my daughters account and had to use her dads card.

  • Why is Paper Saving option not available in Windows 7 for network printer HP OfficeJet J5750

    I have an HP OfficeJet J5750 printer connected to my desktop running Windows XP via a USB port. I just purchased a new laptop running Windows 7 that is connected to the network through a wireless connection. When I print from my laptop I am unable to change the printer's preferences to be able to print multiple pages on one sheet, as in the paper saving option. Why is this? How can I access this option?

    Hi,
    Those are not programming mistakes, but those are limitations of the product, please check the printer specifications below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02858465&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
    As you may find under Paper-handling specifications > Paper tray capacities, Tray 2 only support Plain Paper.
    Maximum DPI is only only supported on Photo Paper, therefore those limitations are applicable.. these limitations are also listed on the Printing Specifications section above, Maximum DPI is listed as 4800 by 1200 dpi:
    Color print resolution: HP enhanced photo quality with Vivera inks (up to 4800 by 1200 dpi Optimized on HP Premium Plus photo papers with 1200 x 1200 input dpi)
    As well that can be find listed within the Print photos on photo paper or the Print borderless documents sections, you may simply search for Maximum DPI within the user guide as a reference:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03026243.pdf
    Those are not an issues with the printer but those expected limitations fully meet the product specification.

  • Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store with free apps

    Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store for free apps on my I pad?

    Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.

  • HT204266 My new iPad.    I entered my Kuwait credit card details in the app store and now when I try to install a free app, it says not available in Kuwaiti store. What should I do. I amnew iPad

    I purchased iPad 3. While trying install application,it says it is not available in Kuwaiti store. I entered my credit card details to complete the configuration . What is the issue.

    Even free apps have limits on where they can be downloaded. Either the app maker does not want to release it in Kuwait or (more likely) he/she does not have the rights or permits to release it in Kuwait.
