Reset installed apps on the app store

Hi,
i formatted my 15 inch retina macbook pro last night and reinstalled mavericks on there however now i cannot installed my old purchased apps because the app store is registering them as already installed.
I have tried clicking on purchases whilst clicking the options button however it does not even show up on my purchases.
is there a way to reset it?

Unmount/disconnect any partitions or drives that may have the apps installed. The MAS sees its apps on mounted drives and partitions.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID.

Re install app store on iphone 3

need help to re install App store as accidently deleted it and cannot download new apps. thanks

That's a pre installed app that cannot be deleted.
Try using the search screen to the left of your Home screen.
If you can't find it that way, then restore the device.

Failed to install App Store on my Mac Book 5.

I followed the instructions to download app store on my mac. I went to Software update, and updated my system, then I restarted my macbook without seeing any dialog to install App Store. After restarted my mac book, I was looking for App Store. I found it in downloads, and I deleted it and emptied my trash can by accident. So I failed to install App Store and try to update my system in order to download the app store again on my Mack Book; however, it says "Your software is up to date."
SO how can I get the App Store after updating the software, but failed to install? I want App Store, and I am Snow Leopard. It's been trying nuts for trying to figure out how to get the App Store.

What instructions do you refer to & where did you find them? As has been mentioned by several other people, the Mac App Store is a part of the OS 10.6.6 update. Apple does not offer it as a separate download. Even if it were available as a separate download, it will not work with any version of Leopard (OS 10.5) or any version of Snow Leopard less than 10.6.6.
Click on the "About this Mac" item in the Apple menu. In the window that pops up, right under the words "Mac OS X" you will see the version of the OS you are running. If it says you are running 10.5.8, then you are running Leopard, not Snow Leopard, & Software Update will only offer you updates for that OS version. To upgrade the OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard you must buy a retail copy of Snow Leopard & install it. Once you do, Software Update will offer you updates for that OS version, including the 10.6.6 one that includes the Mac App Store.

Hi umawi,
I understand that you are trying to reinstall an app from the App Store, but you are unable to accept the new Terms and Conditions for using the App Store. I have a few suggestions for you that may help you resolve this issue. First, I would like to recommend that you restart your iPhone and then see if the issue persists:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559
If the issue is still present, try clearing the Safari History and Website Data, which is explained in the following article:
Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265
To clear your history and cookies from Safari in iOS 8, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Clear History and tap Clear Cookies and Data.
If it is necessary to take the above step and clear Safari information, you may want to restart the phone again before checking to see if the issue is cleared. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari" bc I can't download the latest software?

How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes.

The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.

I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed? Can the Apple store do it? How long? What cost?

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

How to install App Store on my macbook pro?

Hi I have del the app "app store" as i can't open it,so i decided to del and install it back but I jus can't find the app.Can someone pl's advice.Thank You

Try installing from the Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo
If that doesn't reinstall the App Store for you, open you can extract the App Store.app from the v10.6.7 combo .dmg folder using Pacifist

Have OS X 10.6.3 and am unable to install App Store to install Lion or Mountain Lion Software to update to Maverick....HELP!!!!

I recently purchased the Lion and Mountain Lion software to upgrade my MacBook Pro enough to be able to install Maverick (I realized now I only need Lion but oh well). I'm currently running on OS X 10.6.3. I have codes to install Lion using the App Store, however don't have the App Store installed. I cannot install it, as it says I must be running a version of OS X 10.6.6 or higher in order to install the App Store......Am I just completely screwed here??? Does anyone know another way to install this software without the App Store?! Thank you!!!!

1. You don’t need Lion either.
2. Run the Software Update pane of System Preferences or install the 10.6.8 combo updater manually.

Is it possible to install App Store apps without an internet connection?

My wife and I both use the same Apple ID for everything. If she were at home, this would be a no brainer; but she is now stationed in Afghanistan. She currently does not have access to the internet.
So...is it possible for me to download some games from the app store then copy them to a jump drive so that she can install them on her lap top over there? Her new laptop was 'authorized' through our iTunes account before she left the states.
Thanks for your assistance.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Simple drag & drop apps that are mostly what are available in the Mac App Store (MAS) should be fine to burn to CD/DVD or a USB thumb drive and install on another Mac. I would test the apps to make sure that it works for those that you wish to send to her.
I wouldn't put any weight to the BS about fine print. Apple's terms of use for the MAS are that you can install the apps on all of the Macs that you own or that are in your control. There is no restriction on the location of those Macs; home or office, USA or Afganistan!

How do I re-install app store?

Had the "do not" symbol on my app store program. couldn't pull it up. I deleeted the program and can't find where to re-load it.

Care to share which OS you are using? If your MBP came w/system DVDs, you can custom install from DVD #1.
Did you check inside your Applications folder? That is where the original app is kept. You did not mention from where you deleted the App Store app.

Lion installed, App store asked to install

I purchased and installed Lion last weel. No problems. But tonight I noticed on my App store Purchesed list that the status says "Install" instead of "installed" like every other app I've purchased and installed?
How can I remedy this?

I hope so because right now when I check for an update to Lion
Im afraid the software updater does not see Lion in my system but I can't really be sure.
Updates for Lion are not available from the App Store. No wonder you are having problems.
Lion updates are only avaiable from your Apple Menu (Apple icon top left in your screen) > Software Update...
You can have Lion updates download automatically.
Open System Preferences > Software Update then select the Scheduled Check tab.
Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly form the pop up menu next to: Check for updates:
Select Download updates automatically
You will be advised when those are ready to be installed.
Updates available from the Mac App Store are only for third party apps you have downloaded and installed. Not Mac OS X (Lion) updates.

Installing App Store

I have Installed MAC OS Lion. from the App store.
Somehow the app store was deleted from the Computer. How can I reinstall it. I tried Update but nothing.
At a loss as to how I can get App Store App back on My I MAC

It was "somehow" deleted? In order to be deleted, you would have had to try to delete it and then been asked if you were sure you wanted to delete it, and then you would have had to enter your administrator password.
Anyway... I'd recommend that you download and install the 10.7.1 Combo updater and hope that reinstalls the Mac App Store application, but I can't find it. It's possible that Apple hasn't posted a 10.7.1 Combo yet, and might not do so at all.
In that case, your best bet is to reinstall Mac OS X Lion from the Install Mac OS X application package. If you don't have a backup of that, either, you can perhaps borrow it from a friend on an external device. If you can't do that, boot into your Recovery HD (restart while holding Command-R on your keyboard) to redownload and reinstall Lion.
If all else fails, you can purchase this:

App not installed App Store thinks that it is

Hi guys
Just bought and tried to install an app from ios App Store. After two hours it was still on 'installing' so I restarted my iPad.
When it reloaded the app wasn't there so I went back to the App Store to reinstall. The only option on the app is 'Open' and I can't seem to reinstall it.
Is there any way around this? The app was $10 and over 350mb so a bit annoyed right now.
Any help is appreciated.
Steve.

If you go to Purchased under Store left hand side menu of iTunes on PC ( can't help with Mac,sorry )
at bottom right hand side should say "download Previous Purchases "
Then on next screen Apps and top right "not in my library" and you should see any apps you have already purchased (iTunes 10.5.2.11)but not currently in library
