Some installed applications are not recognised by App Store

Hi,
I have a few apps installed on my mac book pro. Trouble is that some are not being recognised by App store hence it does not check if an update is available for them. One of them is disturbingly FaceTime. It is part of Lion OS and I have no idea why it shows up as a purchase in my mac app store. The others such as Garageband, iMovie and iPhoto are showing as installed though..
can this be resolved?

Nohing wrong with what you see.
App Store usualy only shows updates for Apps that were bought/downloaded from the App Store.
The Facetime app in the App Store is only for OSX Snow Leopard but not for OSX Lion since it became a part of OSX with Lion.
Garageband, iMovie and iPhoto ar shown as installed in the App Store since they were part of the iLife suite that was preinstalled on your Mac when you bought it together with OSX Lion.

  • Is it possible to copy free apps that are not on the App Store anymore to multiple iPhones through iTunes sync?

    I have an old app on my iPhone that is able to run on ios7 but has now been deleted from the app store. I was wondering if iTunes sync would allow me to put it onto multiple iPhones with no problems - The iPhones that I want to copy it to are all the same (iPhone 5s), the app is on an iPhone 5s 16GB and I want to put it on an iPhone 5s 32GB.
    Thanks Tyler.

    Thank you.  Your reply is very helpful.
    I've never chosen to delete unused apps in my library because I was worried that if, in the future, one was of interest, that I'd have to re-purchase... so this is not the case then, right?  (I'd felt secure knowing that an app was stored on my computer... More than once, I've had to revert to backups and was glad to have copies of my apps safely stored away.) 
    I've been slow to adopt anything "cloud" so am not well versed on the benefits of using it.  So, just to be clear, if I delete an unused app in my local iTunes library, it will forever remain available in the cloud linked to my account, right?

  • Mavericks download not recognised by app store

    I have downloaded Mavericks but the app store does recognise the download. It says "download" under the Mavericks icon
    Do I need to reinstall? .. If so what is the best way?
    help appreciated as machine running slow

    "Download" is available if you want to re download Mavericks on multiple Macs.
    You can re download Mavericks to create a bootable drive > How to make a bootable Mavericks install drive | Macworld
    If you don't need to re download again, then just ignore the Download button.

  • HT2589 Apple ID not recognised in App Store

    My apple ID is registered to the UK.  I can purchase books and music without any problem but I cannot upgrade any previously downloaded apps as I get a message saying my Apple ID is registered to the Emirati store.  How can I resolve this.  I have double checked and my account is definitely registered to the UK. I think this issue started when I did the IOS 6.0.1 upgrade.

    Can you sign out of your device, then back in? Let me know if this changes anything.

  • Some applications are not opening

    Hi,
    Many of my applications are not opening. Sometimes when I try to open the application it doesn't even bounce in the dock.  Other times, applications will bounce in the dock and then stop.  These are crucial apps, like Mail, Pages, and iPhoto.  Safari and iTunes are working fine.
    Here is some information on my mac:
    I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro, 2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 250 GB HDD, and 4 GM DDR2 Crucial RAM. I am running the latest versions of Snow Leopard, iWork, and iLife. So my computer is up to date (software wise).
    Does anyone know what could be going on with my computer?
    I have already tried repairing the disk and repairing the disk permissions in disk utility through the OS as well as the install disc.  Is there anything else I should try doing before taking my computer into the Apple store?
    Thanks,
    Max

    That didn't work =/
    I'm still having the same issues even with a new account.

    Ok, that's plenty of space.
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

  • How can I reinstall deleted free Apps which now show as installed but are not actually there?

    How can I reinstall free Apps that I have deleted (because ALL stopped working) which now show as installed but are not actually there?
    I loaded a bunch of free Apps (maybe too many?) right after I got my 4s yesterday, and at some point I noticed that none of the downloaded Apps would work. The screen would blink when I tapped the icons, but the Apps stopped opening. Resetting the phone didn't help, so I decided to delete all the Apps I had downloaded and start over.
    I can get the "Purchased" list to show up by pressing Updates button (is there another way?) but the show as "installed" in greyed-out letter, so I can't figure out how to get them back.

    Your iPad screens aren't completely filled up are they? If they are, you will only be able to find them using the search feature on the iPad.

    I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

    The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
    This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
    Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
    I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
    I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

  • Rokr: "Some files and applications are not accessible"

    Help please? When using USB to connect to my ibook the phone gives me this message: "Coneced as Storage Device: Some file and applications are not accessible". I then go to my desktop and search through my phone to find no files not to mention not showing up in iTunes. Could someone please help?

    I am having a similar problem.
    My RoKr was connecting and syncing properly until I performed the latest software upgrade (which upgraded both iTunes and iSync). After the upgrade my phone does not show up either in iTunes or on the desktop. When I plug the phone it indicates that it is connecting as a storage device and some file/applications will not be accessible. However the phone does not appear on the desktop or in iTunes. When I go into iSync the phone is only recognized via bluetooth, the USB connection is not detected.
    I remain tuneless and await a solution...

  • TS1538 I have just installed Windows 8.1 and now my ipad and iphone are not recognised in iTunes, can anyone help?

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first post so if I've made any mistakes please forgive me. I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Professional however, now my iPad and iPhone are not recognised in iTunes. I have checked Device Manager and the iPad is listed, I also asked it to update the driver but it informed me that I have the most up to date version. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Skydiver119,
    Many thanks for your prompt reply however, I found this post and it worked perfectly. I hope it helps other users.
    Plug your Ipad USB cable into USB port.
    Go to your Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, then click Device Manager.
    Click on Portable Devices, and you should see Apple Ipad shown (or whatever apple device your using).
    Right-click the Apple Device your using, and choose Update Driver Software..
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.

  • App store shows apps installed but are not on my computer

    I recently installed Mavericks on my mid-2012 MacBook Air and was updating my apps but found that the App Store shows a several apps as installed but are not currently on my computer.  I saw a couple previous notes that addresses a special process to deauthorize/reauthorize iTunes which is supposed to correct this but the note was written in 2012 and also refers to a special right-click function that isn't working in Mavericks. 
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks!
    Jim

    Can you find the apps by searching for them by name in Spotlight?
