Lion appstore issues - shows applications installed when they're not

Hi folks,
Lion installed (mostly) successfully.
I'm having an issue with the app store:
I needed to reboot for another driver/software installation.
I used the "pause" buttons on the App Store applications being installed.
I rebooted.
I opened up the app store to resume the downloads
One application (of the two) had the status "Installed" the other's status was "Update"
The "installed" application was not installed
The "update" application says I need to log in with the account I purchased said software but it's not installed to begin with and I am, in fact, logged in with the only account I have and have ever used.
I cleared both the app store cache (in ~/Library/Caches) and the "storeagent" cache in the same directory.
To no avail.
Any ideas?

Here's what I did, but it won't work for everyone.
I hadn't installed Lion on my existing Snow Leopard partition - I installed from scratch on a new partition.
I was able to simply copy over the apps from the other partition (but it would have also worked if they were on another Mac) and then use the App Store to update them.
That resolved my issue, but it wouldn't have if I didn't have access to another Mac or OS X installation to work with.
Cache cleaning, preference deleting worked to no avail as you noted - so I don't think we found everything, there's got to be some setting/file sitting around in a folder we just didn't find. I had fully intended to try Onyx for Lion but when I first posted this, the Titanium Software website was down.

In other words, how does your explanation account for ED (enhanced definition)?
ED is generally considered to be 576p or 480p, but this is not universally accepted and these resolutions are often accepted as HD also. Additionally an ED signal uses non square pixels just as SD does so the horizontal pixel dimensions should be no more than 720. Exactly how the tv would treat these resolutions I don't know (yet).
If you have a copy of the source code for the function that displays the HD icon, please post it so I can take a look at it.
Why should I have such a copy and why is it relevant. The issue here is that the OP believes his video is incorrectly labelled HD which is not the case. There may or may not be anomalies in the way the tv attributes the HD label to some files (although it isn't the case for me), however the OP has incorrectly converted his source video and they are no longer SD, they are also not ED by whichever definition you wish to apply and any such anomalies should they exist are not responsible for the OP's files being labelled HD.

Applications Installed through task sequence not showing up in Software Center

In the task sequence we use for our OSD Windows 7 machine build, we have Custom-Install Application steps which install a number of of our Applications. Each of these Applications has the "Allow this application to be installed from the Install
Application task sequence action without being deployed" checkbox checked. All of the Applications have the following properties set:
Installation behavior: Install for system
Logon requirement: Whether or not a user is logged in
Installation program visibility: Hidden
When a machine is built using this task sequence, all of the Applications install successfully - they show up in Control Panel\Programs and Features, and they run correctly. However, none of them show up in the Software Center. I'm not seeing anything in
any of the logs that indicates a problem, and the Software Center remains empty even after running all the client evaluation cycle actions
Interestingly, if I add a couple of the newly build machines to a collection, then target deployments for the already installed Applications to that collection, after running the Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle the Applications immediately
show up in Software Center as installed.
Does anyone know if Applications installed through a task sequence do not show up in the Software Center by default, or could you give me some troubleshooting tips if this is not normal?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Why you deploy applications through task sequences? Task sequences are built and meant to be used with OSD, not application deployment.
To my knowledge, if you have application install step in a task sequence and you deploy that task sequence to a collection of machines, the software center on those machines only sees the task sequence itself, not the applications inside the task sequence.
If you want your applications to be shown in the software center, change the method of deploying stuff and deploy applications as they're are meant to.

App Store Says App Is "Installed" When It's Not

Hi,
I have just done a fresh install on Mountain Lion to my MacBook Pro after imaging my old Lion install.
I am now testing some apps but when I go to the App Store I'm told the apps I have purchased are "Installed" when they aren't - at least not on this machine with Mountain Lion. But they are on the older Lion image.
Can I 'reset' the apps status (or force installs) or do I need to do something more drastic first? I have removed the App Store plistfiles and rebooted but this makes no difference. I guess the app store believes them to still be installed on this machine. Which they effectively are but on a Lion image.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Not sure if this was the issue or not as I seemed to have found another 'workaround'.
Basically I downloaded a free app that wasn't installed via the app store and also restored an app that the app store was saying was already installed. I then ran them both and then immediately removed them using AppDelete.
Rebooted and relaunched App Store and all is now good.
Thanks for the reply. Maybe both our 'solutins' will help others.
Regards
Radar

Shows as installed, but it's not

Muse and Lightroom show as installed. But they, in fact, are not.
This likely stems from the way I initially set things up. I was using my traditional licensed software but have now signed up with the cloud account. Muse and LR installed but everything had to be uninstalled due to constant crashing. So I took everything off, thought I scurbbed my machine clean of all things adobe.
Now on reinstall, these two programs show as being installed but they are not. Other programs are installing fine and working well.
Thanks for help in clearing this up.
By the way, I'm on a Mac OS. 10.7.5 on a mid 2010 MBP

Thank you. while this did not directly help the situation, I did stumble upon the solution.
In the Applications/utilities/adobe installers folder there were the "uninstallers" for each application that is recognized by the application manager. I ran these uninstallers and it worked, even though for Lightroom it showed only having about 4KB of information to delete. Regardless, it cleared the problem and all is now stable.

My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not

My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not.plz help me

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

You might need to clean the headphone port (I was in the same situation and this worked for me). Dirt, dust, and debris accumulate in the port and eventually the computer registers the debris as headphones being plugged in. After cleaning the issue was resolved.

HT201314 I want to remove older updates from APP Store update page that will not install because they are not compatable with my OS Version 10.8.5

There are a couple of updates on my APP STORE page that are extremely annoying, they can't be installed because they are to old for my OSX version 10.8.5, I want to delete or remove them so that Spotlight stops telling me that I have 2 updates to install, when they can't be installed unless I revert to an older OS version.

Why does my volume say headphones when they're not plugged in

MY phone is saying the headphones are plugged in when they're not. There are no sounds except ringing. Help!

You may want to plug/unplug the headphones several times fairly quickly to see if that resolves the issue.

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
