Re-install from USB thumbdrive (purchased - no app store)

Does anyone know how to re-intall lion after i've formated my harddrive in Disk Utility IF i purchased my OSX at the apple store via a USB thumbdrive and not over the app store? I can't get passed that point.

Hi ..
Yes, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
If that didn't help, some third party apps like Little Snitch can prevent the Sign In window from appearing > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

App purchased on App Store will not Install...

I'm on an Intel iMac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has 3 accounts on it, me, wife and Kids.
Wife purchased "Numbers" from App store yesterday in her account on her Apple Id. The App's Icon jumped from App Store into the Dock and the dock icon indicated that the app was downloading like it's supposed to. However once the download had completed the App was nowhere to be found and clicking on the dock Icon did absolutely nothing. A search of the Applications folder confirmed the App was not Installed.
Going back into the App store and looking in the Purchased section showed Numbers was purchased and the button said "Install" rather than "Installed" so we downloaded again with the same results. Have done this half a dozen times and Numbers just refuses to install.
I have downloaded other App's in her account without any problems. We did have a demo of iWork on the Mac a while ago but that was deleted, don't know if that may have anything to do with it. Have tried all the obvious like permissions repair etc. email to Apples App store support team was a waste of time, no useful information in there.
Any help would be appreciated...

Done that and it's definitely nowhere to be found. Have just been on the phone to Apple support for over an hour and still not sorted the problem. The wife has now gone to work and she won't tell me her Apple password so even though I have a few other options to try I can't untill later on.
Going to try installing later on in Safe Mode, see if that works...
Meanwhile... twiddles thumbs and hopes for any more advice.
Thanks all!

Did you allow for Local Taxes ?
If not... your iTunes Account my be showing that Money is owed.
No one here can see your Account Info as this is a User to User Forum.
Suggest you Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance
Use this Link > Apple Support iTunes Store Contact
OR... add another couple of Dollars to your Card and try the Purchase again.

Pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help

pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help. Am trying to work on document from office computer at home on laptop.
This is what the pop up says:
You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.
You can download the latest version of Numbers from the Mac App Store.
Thanks,

WS,
At first, it can be difficult to determine which version of Numbers you are using. The user interfaces are different, but if you are new to the apps you may think you are using the new version when if fact you have launched the older version. Make sure you are using Version 3.x. Then you won't get the message that you need a newer version.
Use Spotlight to launch Numbers. After typing Numbers into the search field, pick the result that says "Numbers -- Applications".

Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences/
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.

Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
three times faster than wireless.

I want to install os x lion but the app store doesn't offer a 'buy' option. Any ideas ?

Do you see a price next to Lion ($29.99 or local equivalent)? Click that to purchase and download it. You'll have to sign in if you're not already.
Also, your profile is wrong if you don't already have Lion (which IS 10.7).

Hola, buen dia, Ignacio. Saludos desde México.
To get the Mac App Store back you will need to manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo;
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
It is safe to install this over your current installation of 10.6.7. It will reinstall the Mac App Store, as well as fill in any gaps that your installation my have. It is a common troubleshooting step.

Cannot see my purchases in app store

Cannot see my purchases in app store. Screen blank but if I push randomly on the black part it shows the app??

First question, why you're showing the screenshot from the iTunes? I understand that the account is the same, but why "iTunes in the Cloud"?
Second, I don't have "Hidden Purchases" neither in Mac App Store nor in iTunes Store account. In iTunes account view there is only "there are two devices connected with this Apple ID...".
In Mac App Store there is no "iTunes in the Cloud" nor "Mac in the Cloud" anything like that.

The The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded What to do to get it back.

the The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded Will not download again. How do I get my icon back.

Well, App Store is system app. It might have been moved accidentally to a folder. You might be having an idea of Spotlight search when you swipe the home screen to the left most section, you can search "App Store" and you have the icon of the App Store.
You can try to reset home screen layout by going to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout
Keep in mind, this will reset all the app folders you've created in the home screen.
If it still doesn't appear, you might have accidentally turned the switch ON to disable App Store in restrictions.
Can be accessed by going to settings - general - restrictions - (Enter passcode if asked) - Turn on the Installing Apps and Deleting Apps switches to ON
Let me know if this helps you out

Gift cards can only be used in the App/iTunes store in the country in which they were purchased. You can only purchase items from the store of the country you are physically located.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
