Lion installed but Mac App Store says install

I have a 2009 MacBook and a 2006 iMac on which I have upgraded to Lion via the Mac App Store. Recently, the Mac App Store started saying "Install" next to Lion. I pressed "Install" and Lion re-downloaded and re-installed but the Mac App Store still says "Install" next to Lion but clearly Lion was installed before and after (10.7.3). ????

It may be that the Lion installer has been downloaded to your Mac but it hasn't yet been run.  Look for it in the Dock or in the Applications folder.  If you see it there, launch it to install Lion.

  • I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard. Now there is a new Xcode for Lion, so I downloaded the new one but the installed continued to be the old one. Now App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me to re-download Xcode. How can I proceed?

    I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard 12 days ago. After installing Lion I saw there is a new FREE Xcode for it, so I downloaded the new one but after installing automatically Xcode for Lion the Developer folder contained the old one. I deleted the old Xcode but the App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me re-download Xcode.
    How can I proceed? I'm guessing whether this problem will occur each time I buy an application from App Store.

    Yes, that's righ, Xcode installer was in the Apps folder. I assumed it had been automatically installed and the installer deleted after installation (the same way as Lion is installed).
    I tried also the procedure for redownloding applications, and MAS showed both Xcodes (Lion and Snow Leopard) and OS X Lion. We see that buttons for Lion and Xcode for Snow Leopard say 'Install' but Xcode for Lion says 'installed' because there is an Install Scode in the Apps folder.
    Thank you.

  • Tech specs says I'm eligible for upgrade. Mac App store says I'm not. Please help

    I have an older macbook pro. Model identifier 2,2. Tech specs says that I'm eligible but mac app store says that my MBP isn't. I already have Lion. This shouldn't be a problem. Please help.

    If your MacBook Pro is from mid-2007 or newer, you can still download Mountain Lion.
    You just have to purchase it at the App Store for $20 U.S.

  • How do i reload OS X Server on Mac Mini, App store says installed but no reset or reload, system tells me to reinstall

    how do i reload OS X Server on Mac Mini, App store says installed but no reset or reload, system tells me to reinstall?

    Reboot holding down the Command and R keys.  This will get you in to the Recovery partition.  From there you can reinstall the entire OS.  Please note, Server.app will not be included in the reinstall.  You will need to log into your App store account to download it.

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT4461 how do i install a purchased app that says installed but it's not on mac or iPad?

    how do i install a purchased app that says installed but it's not on mac or iPad?

    An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. 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.

  • The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates.

    The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates, but am not positive. Has anyone else expierenced this?
    I know it was a clean install where I deleted all the support files as well.
    (Running 10.9 on an intel i7 iMac.)

    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

  • I accidentally erased Lion from the mac app store

    I accidentally erased Lion from the mac app store "purchased" tab. I already bought it. How can i re-have it in that tab, in order to download the latest version and burn it ?
    Please help me, Luca.

    Go into the Mac App Store. Under the main menu, select "Store", then "View My Account". Sign in , then look under the hidden Purchases section, and un-hide the app you hid by "erasing" it from the purchases.
    Anamusic, that discussion is confusing, because it directs you to iTunes Store, which won't help the OP at all.

    I am trying to download an app that needs 501 MB and my iPod has over 1 GB, but the App Store says that I do not have enough memory left.

    Do you have a question?
    That sounds right.
    Most apps require more than double the size of the app available in order for installation.
    Make more room.
