Hi..
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Why do all the programs i need say try instead of install i just got the student subscription

    all the major apps that i need say try instead of install or download, how do i fix this ????

    Hello lanibrown1808,
    I checked you account on my side and it looks fine. I can see you have Creative Cloud for Individuals subscription.
    It seems that you computer is not properly communicating with Adobe servers.
    Please refer the article: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html and try to reset the host file if in case of any Adobe entries.
    Please do let me know the status if it worked or not.

    Drag the iPhoto application from /Applications to the trash then empty your trash. When you go back to the App Store, iPhoto will have an install button.

  • I need to install dreamweaver. In Creative Cloud, it says "TRY" instead of "INSTALL". Why?

    If you had purchased Creative Cloud subscription .
    Then first of Sign out from Creative Cloud and Sign in using Email ID using which you had purchased subscription.

    Let me know if you still get Try option
    For Paid subscribes it will show Install button .
    For trial subscribes it will show Try button.

  • Some of the apps in my creative cloud are saying try instead of install. Why?

    Some of my apps say try instead of install. How can i fix this?

    @joelg16362543    
    There are different possible reason for this.
    Since you had changed the plan from Photography plan to CC full subscription.the status might not have updated or there may be Activation server connectivity  issue .
    1)First thing to do is Sign out from Creative Cloud and Sign in.
    2)Check Hosts , and let me know if  you can see any Adobe entries like 127.0.01 activate.adobe.com...etc ???
    3)Corrupt opm.db database file
    4)Corrupt license files , Firewall ,,,etc
    Follow first 2 steps and check ,.
    Still face same issue ,let me know

  • My CC desktop app now says "Try" instead of "Install"?

    This may be total paranoia on my part, but suddenly on my Windows 8 CC desktop app, everything says "try" instead of "install" but I can't find anywhere that the CC memberships (or more importantly my full membership) had changed. Is this just a different labeling or has something big changed with CC and I'm apparently totally clueless?

  • Lion OS Downloaded but Not Installed???

    Downloaded Lion OS to MacPro.  Rec'd install prompt, agreed to terms and hit install/continue.  It was not installed.  How do I find it to install again. App store says downloaded and no option to re-download.  I had/have OS 10.6.8 installed. 

    How do you know it isn't installed? Select About This Mac from the Apple Menu. What OS version is displayed?
    If the installer wasn't deleted then you will find it in the Applications folder.

  • App Store Says Download LION OS X Even Though I am already running 10.7.3

    In the app store under purchases on my MacBook Pro it says that Lion OS X should DOWNLOAD instead of installed. I already have Lion OS X Version 10.7.3 running on my computer. Why won't it say installed?
    What should I do? I've re-downloaded it and installed and it still says DOWNLOAD.
    I went to do a disk repair and it told me my HD is corrupt and I have an invalid directory item count twice (149 instead of 150) and (34 out of 35), invalid number of file hard links.
    I'm not sure what to do. I do have two users on this computer if that helps.
    Thanks.

    Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    This just downloads the Installer application. You don't need to have the installer Application on your computer if you have already installed Lion, so you can ignore how it says "download" and delete the Install Mac OS X Lion.app file from /Applications.
    It should only show you the download button on a Lion-running Mac if you hold the Option key while clicking Purchases, but I have seen several computers that work normally and exhibit the same behavior as you're experiencing.

  • How Would you Know if Mountain Lion is Downloading?

    Hi. App Store had me update the info in the billing section which I did. When I updated it and click done it came back to the Mountain Lion page still with the icon Buy App. I clicked that for a second time but it said (something like) that I I've already purchased it. I noticed there's the Mountain Lion logo on the Launchpad and it seems to be downloading but there seems to be no progress bar. It seems like it's not moving although we're only subscribed to about 1Mbps with our landline based broadband.
    Is it downloading and have I purchased it properly? I've forgotten what the icon display once you buy something because I don't purchase that often (the last was Lion from last year). I know once it's installed, the icon says installed but when you're downloading it should the app say "downloading" instead of going back to "Buy App"?.
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

    Hello:
    If you want to check the progress, go to the app store>purchases.  If something is downloading, the progress bar will be there.

  • Why "try" instead of "install" on some apps

    How come after this latest update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app  some apps that are not installed yet on my system are saying "Try" instead of "Install". I know that Indesign and Audition (and I thought all the rest) are included in my full CC membership, so how come some of them say Try while others say Install?

  • HT1145 I downloaded the Airport Utility 5.6 for OS X Lion and when I finish installing it sends a message that says "the instalation failed contact your software provider"

    I downloaded the Airport Utility 5.6 for OS X Lion and when I finish installing it sends a message that says "the instalation failed contact your software provider" And seems like thats the solution so I can use my time capsule.
    Thanks

    Thanks. Please review my post above to see that we asked five basic questions.
    Looks like we got two answers.
    Can you please provide answers to the other questions that we asked?
    1)  Are you trying to connect your Time Capsule to your modem using an Ethernet cable?
    2)  What is the make and model number of your modem?
    3)  Are you still using Lion (10.7.5) as you indicate in your profile, or have you updated to Mountain Lion or Mavericks?
    I understand that things appear clear to you there, but we cannot read your mind or see your network, so we only know as much about your problem and your network as you can tell us.

  • HT1338 I use gotomypc and since I downloaded mountain lion I am unable to launch the program.  It says I need to install java but when I go to "software update" it says there are no updates.  Any ideas?

    Ever since I updates to mountain lion I can' use gotomypc because it says I need to install java.  When I follow the instructions to install by going to software update there is nothing to update in the app store.  How do I manually install java?

    just found an answer on another feed
    Re: mountain lion java
    In spotlight, type in Java, and click on Java Preferences in the list - it will then start downloading and installingthe new version. (my java version is now 1.6.0_33-b03-424)
