Several apps are already installed, but a duplicate of the same app is trying to install

I just upgraded from a 4S to 5, and synced my phone to get all my music, apps, etc. Everything worked perfectly, except for a few of my apps duplicated. Like, one copy of the app successfully installed, and the other is stuck greyed out with "Installing" under it. How to fix this problem?

Try resetting the iPhone > iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
To delete duplicates, press and hold the app icon down until they all jiggle then tap the circle with an x then tap Delete. Do that for all duplicates.

  • I re-installed Mountain Lion from a USB stick, and now my Apps can't be downloaded.  The App store indicates that the Apps are already installed, but that is not the case. Now what :)

    I re-installed Mountain Lion from scratch of a USB stick, and now my Apps in the App store ca not be installed, the App store indicates that they are already installed, but that is not the case.  Now what?

    Ok, this is somewhat of a better work around I've found:
    Starting in the Australian iTunes store, I go through the process of signing into the UK iTunes store up until the point it asks for my credit card information.
    I then click the 'X' in the top left of iTunes to exit the store.
    Now when I click on my Apps Updates button it shows me what UK Apps I have that are available to update.
    You can't download these as at this point I've changed the store I'm viewing, but haven't officially switched accounts. Not to worry.
    I write down the names of the UK Apps to update.
    Then, use the 'search store' field in the top right of iTunes to search for one of the Apps.
    Once you've found it, click to buy it / download it.
    iTunes recognises that the App is already in your account and downloads it again for free….
    … now I'm HOPING that that App is now fully within my Australian account… unfortunately only time will tell once there is a new update for it.
    I'll let you know.

  • Apps have install option even though they are already installed!

    I'm talking about just the iLife Apps. I erased/installed OS X 10.8 on my mac mini and instead of using the app store to download the 3 iLife apps, I used my old iLife DVD so I can install iDVD (which I still use). Any tips on how to get rid of this annoying problem and have GarageBand, iMove and iPhoto show as update instead of install.  It's like it doesn't see they are already installed!
    Any help appreciated.

    Getting rid ot that irksome number. 
    You could try reindexing your HD.   The MAS uses the Spotlight indexing in determining what apps need updating.   Go to Systems Preferences / Spotlight/ Privacy; add your Hdd to the list then remove it from that list.   Spotlight will then reindex your HD.

  • Requires me to install programs that are already installed

    I keep trying to install Google voice but it keeps asking me to install it even days after I installed it. Same with the Netflix Microsoft Silverlight that is needed to play the instant queue. Why does it ask me to install programs that are already installed. I already uninstalled them and reinstalled them but that did not work either. PLEASE HELP!

    There's a new version 5.7.1.  If you click on install, it will install the new version in lieu of 5.7.

  • Pacman: check if optional deps are already installed?

    Hi All,
    When I install a package, pacman suggest that I install other packages as optional dependensies like this:
    (11/11) installing totem [###############################################################] 100%
    Optional dependencies for totem
    gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins: Extra media codecs
    gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins: Extra media codecs
    gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: Extra media codecs
    lirc-utils: Infrared Remote Control plugin
    libepc: Publish Playlist plugin
    libgdata: YouTube Browser plugin
    bluez: Bemused plugin
    grilo-plugins: Browse sidebar (remote media)
    pyxdg: opensubtitles plugin
    Some of these are already installed on my system. I think it would be usefull that pacman checks if these are already installed. I would like something like this output:
    (11/11) installing totem [###############################################################] 100%
    Optional dependencies for totem
    gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins: Extra media codecs (*installed*)
    gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins: Extra media codecs
    gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: Extra media codecs
    lirc-utils: Infrared Remote Control plugin
    libepc: Publish Playlist plugin (*installed*)
    libgdata: YouTube Browser plugin
    bluez: Bemused plugin
    grilo-plugins: Browse sidebar (remote media)
    pyxdg: opensubtitles plugin
    What are your thoughts on the subject?
    Best regards,
    Cedric

    I, for one, disagree. You see, hard dependencies are justified (as in there are some guidelines as to how assign them), optdeps are not (there can be cross-repo optdeps from lower-level repo to a higher-level one; if you promote optdeps to real deps, there can be dependency cyces, etc.). In pacman, otdeps = comments. So, I would really prefer to keep it that way.
    It could be implemented some security measures that optdepends wouldn't be removed if this optdepends are tied to other packages too - like real dependencies are. It could be implemented the same system for optdepends as is for real dependencies.

The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

  • HT5621 Hi I'm using my wife's email for my apple Id but now she has got an iPhone we r both using the same one ive tried gettin my own using my own email but it keeps telling me my email is already in use how can that be????

    Hi I'm using my wife's email for my apple Id but now she has got an iPhone we r both using the same one ive tried gettin my own using my own email but it keeps telling me my email is already in use how can that be????

    Are you trying to set up your own iDevice and that is why you want your own Apple ID?
    Do you realize that any content that you have already purchased using her ID will still have to be used if you want to update apps or download purchases again for free? ITunes and App Store content is tied to the ID used to make the purchase. Furthermore, if you use her ID to download a purchased app for free on your own device, you can lock yourself out of your ID for 90 days.
    Back to the question at hand .... Did she use your email address as the rescue email address for her Apple ID?

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data.  We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar.  How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

    You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

    FaceTime is not  available on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This is by government decree. The FaceTime app can't be downloaded or installed on these iPads.

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.
    Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?
