TS1702 Apps store says "Open", not "install"

Hi guys,
I have problem with my apps store in iOS 7
I installed some apps before, but the apps icon is missing after the download finish
I tried to re-donwload the apps in apps store, but it says "open", not "install", and when i press that "open" button, nothing happen
And i already tried to find my downloaded apps using spotlight search and nothing comes out
Anyone got same problem?

Hello Tom,
Thanks for replying. FCPX was on the hard drive in my iMac. After I had deleted FCPX as stated in the Apple article I powered iMac down, disconnected the Time Machine backup drive & powered up the iMac. Loaded App Sore.app to re-down load FCPX but the App Store will not let me because it thinks it is already loaded. I went through the FCPX delete procedure again to check if anything was still loaded, there was nothing to re delete.
Regards

TS1702 App store says open but app is not on device

I am trying to download Touch Arcade app to my iPhone 4s. It's a free app. When I goto the app store to download instead of a button that says "Free" followed by "Install", the button says Open. When I hit open nothing happens because the app is not on my device. I have used Search to locate it and of course it isn't there. I have only a few apps on my phone so it's not like Touch Arcade is buried under a folder.
I was able to download it on my iPad np. When I contacted the developer their response was, "that's strange the app store thinks its on your phone when it's not.". The end. In other words' treating me like an idiot and placing the blame on Apple of course.
Other than a full restore of the device, is there a way to fix this annoying bug?
Thanks.

Try here. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You must use the same Apple ID that you purchased the app with originally.

The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package

The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package. Any thoughts? Obviously I cant download it again as the app store says it is installed. I cannot find the package on my mac, when I try and search for it!!

Hi Hugh,
Once you download Lion from the app store you still have to install it. Its located in your Applications directory.

App Store says Xcode is installed but it isn't, so I can't install XCode

What can I say. I tried to install XCode but it did not finish. Now the App Store thinks XCode is installed. I need XCode for MacPorts to work. Does anyone know how I can tell the App Store XCode is not installed?

"Me too"
Yet another individual in the same boat. ***, Apple?! Why must getting software be so obscure & complicated? What happened to: go to website, download thing, install thing?
I had Xcode 4.1 installed. Wanted to install (yet another) package with MacPorts, but got complaint that Xcode 4.1 is inadequate.
So I go to App Store & tell it to install current Xcode…This, BTW, left me with nearly zero feedback that something was going on. Only because I have a menubar widget showing network bandwidth did I know it was downloading.
while waiting (who knows how long it was to be), I had to sleep my computer to take it with me to work.
Upon waking my computer, App Store tells me Xcode is installed. Great!
Back to MacPorts to install that package: it tells me that Xcode 4.1 is too old. ***!?
Then things get messy & I end up clicking on the circle-X "button" next to XCode in the "Purchases" section of App Store, thinking that'll allow me to install it…that's a dead end
I then try entirely removing "/Developer" & "/Applications/Install Xcode.app"another dead end
Trying all combinations of holding any/all keyboard modifiers (option/control/shift/command) while clicking on "Purchases" in App Store did nothing different than not holding any.
Now I'm left with no Xcode & no way to install it with App Storewhee! this is a fine pit I find myself in now.
What a lovely user experience! Please, may I have more?! <grumble> <fume>
In the end, I did resort to my "what happened to…" thought.
Problem Solved:
Go to http://connect.apple.com/ & login with your (free) dev account.
Locate the current version of Xcode (4.3.2 for Lion) & download the dmg
Install like a normal person. (copy the Xcode.app from the mounted disk image to Applications)
After a bit of cleanup (things like "/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version" were trying to access things that used to exist), I've again got a working install of Xcode.

App Store says Lion is installed but it isn't - What happened?

I have the appropriate qualifying hardware and software and downloaded Lion, clicked on proceed and App Store says it is installed but it isn't.
Any ideas?

Mac app store says iwork is installed, but its not.

The Mac App store says that Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are all installed on my iMac, but when I open them, they are the previous versions. Should I delete and try to re-install? What do I do? I've already restarted. Didn't work. Suggestions?

Don't delete them. That will not help and you will find that they have more features than the new iWork apps. You can have both version on the computer. You have to have the latest version of iWork 09 for this to work.
To get the new ones.
1. log out of MacAppStore
2. Change the localized language in the System preferences> Language and Text > Text. Make sure the new language is on the top of the list
3. Restart the computer
4. Log in and open the MAcAppStore. Now you should see that you can download the new iWork apps. Do so and supply you AppleID for the appStore.
5.When done change language again in the System preferences
6. Restart the computer
7. now you should have the stripped version of iWork. The old one will still be in the application folder too.

Mavericks installed but app store shows "download" not "installed"

I installed Mavericks on my new (Christmas 2013 Macbook Air) and updated all other apps associated with Mavericks. When I visit the app store it shows download on Mavericks app but all others show "installed".
I checked the app installed and in "about this mac" it shows I have 10.9.1. Why won't the app store show it is installed and should I do something else to complete the install?

Asked and answered a zillion times since the advent of OS X Lion as a direct download. Please do a forum search before posting.
The Mac App Store is about apps, not whether an OS is installed. What you got from the MAS was an app, the OS X Mavericks Installer. It self-deletes when it finishes successfully installing the OS. The reason it says Download is in case you need to download the installer app again.

Mac app store say iphoto ready installed but i dont

i want buy iphoto 11 but app store say installed ready how i do for buy my upgrade iphoto , how I contac whit app store for fix my downloads

Hi and welcome.....
Quit the Mac App Store (Command + Q)
Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes/Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click the *Reet warnings* and *Reset cache* buttons.
Now from the menu bar again click Store / View My Account. Click: Sign Out
Now launch the Mac App Store and try purchasing iPhoto 11 again.
If that didn't help either, install the 10.6.6 combo update available here.

Restart your Mac and try again.
If you still have problems, you can email Mac App Store Customer Service here.

App Store says I've installed pages 5.0.1 but I get 4.3 when I open it up. Docs from pages 5.0 won't open

I can open my old documents but new ones made on pages 5 won't open. I checked the app store and it says I've installed 5. Any idea why I'm having a problem???

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

App Not In Applications folder, but App Store says it's installed.

Anybody have any ideas on this?
One of my apps is missing from my Applications folder, so I went into the app store to try to re-download it, however the application store says the App in question is installed...
There is a 'free' version of the same app in the app store, so I decided to try downloading it, which works, but again the full version of the App is still missing...

Neither of these ideas apply...
Prior to exausting everything I could think of, the free version was not installed, and in fact had never been 'purchased' (it did not show up in my purchases list, and the button on it read 'free' instead of 'install')...
The first thing I did was a spotlight search for JPEGmini, with no results comming up.
I then went into the App Store which is when I found that it was reported as installed.
I proceeded to use the Terminal app to try and determine if a hidden flag had been set on the app in the Applciatons folder (rendering it present but invisible), but was able to confirm there was no applicable hidden item...
It was then that I 'bought' and downloade the free version, just to see if it would work. It worked as expected, and even upon deleting the app the 'INSTALLED' indicator in the App Store went back to an 'INSTALL' button...
I've since removed the free version but am still unable to install the full version...

App Store says Lion is installed, but in reality it is not, and now I'm stuck..

downloaded Lion, got an error message that it was not downloaded completely... then did some updates with the software updater.
went to app store to download lion again, it says lion is already installed. But i checked and i'm still running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
What to do next?

Do that i mean click purchase and see the procress may take time or you need retry also check your application folder if is lion install there like a app also click any mac app store window except purchase and thenholding option click purchase so you shall get a install option in lion and download it and install it again.

Deleted application, cannot redownload. App Store says 'open' application

Hi,
I tried to update 'Carcassone', but it got stuck on the 'installing' phase.
I deleted the app from the screen and went to the app store to redownload it.
In the app store the application and search for the application on the store. It locates it and I only have the option to 'open' the application.
Pressing the 'open' button does nothing. Tried soft and hard rebooting, the app store still gives me the 'open' option, and the application is not available on any screen on the iPad.
Any ideas how I can re-download the app?
Regards
Dom

If you search for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right), does that find it ?
You could also try closing the App Store app via the taskbar and see options it gives for that app when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

App store says FCPX is installed but it isn't

Final Cut Pro was not updating on my Mac Pro, version 10.0.0 was installed and the App Store didn't show any updates. So I trashed the application and expected the App Store to allow me to reinstall. However the App Store still says "INSTALLED".
Any advice for how I can get FCPX reinstalled and updated?
Thank you.
OS X 10.8.5

If you had it on more than one boot volume mounted in the Mac Pro, then you may need to dismount the other one to get MAS to now give it to you.

Why does the App Store say Numbers is installed when it isn't?

Numbers crashed after the last update so I removed it from my Mac but now the App Store keeps saying it is still installed and won't let me re-download it. Any ideas? (I have restarted the computer)
Thanks in advance...

Hi Sparkoids,
Perhaps you could try this. In Mac App Store, click on Account, then sign in, and "Reset all warnings for buying and download.' Then sign out and back in and try downloading again.
(Also, make sure it's the Numbers in your Applications folder that you moved to the trash, not the Numbers that you may have in an iWork '09 subfolder within Applications. You'll probably want to keep the version that's in the subfolder because it's got features that the new Numbers does not have, at least not yet. The two versions for the most part coexist happily on the Mac.)
