Unable to re-install app

I deleted a game app but wanted to re-install. However, in the app store the function icon to either purchase/install indicates open. When tapped open, the function does not execute to open the game or download. The icon is missing from the pages in my ipad 4 as well. Any suggestions.
Action taken: Recently updated to iOS 7.1.2.
Attempted hard restart but still unable to open app.
Erase all content and settings but still unable to open or locate app.

Go to the Purchased section in the App Store and see if you can reinstall it.

I am unable to update installed apps after installing iOS5

After installing iOS 5, I can not update my installed apps.
Does anyone know of a way to resolved this problem short
of deleting and reinstalling the application?

After Updating iTunes to the latest SW, I connected my iPod Touch 3G to the computer then checked iTunes for any app updates, found those that could not be updated to the iPod alone - downloaded them - when complete iTunes synced to my iPod. Worked fine for me.
I have not installed iOS 5.0.1 - to many problems!!

Unable to download & install app from MacStore

Hi all,
i am unable to install Twitter app from Mac store. It says downloaded, but when i click install nothing happens and error message pops out.
Already tried to install other free apps and everything went well, just the twitter app failed. Running latest version of OSX Lion on Macbook Pro 13.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

TS1702 Unable to find installed app from AppStore

I just downloaded the free Genius Scan scanning app from the AppStore. I see the 'Installed' notification next to the app, but cannot find the app anywhere on my iPhone. I'm unable to download it again since it says 'Installed'

Swipe to the right on your home screento bring up search page. Type in Apps name and search, if it appears, that mean it is on your iPhone somewhere.
Have you used up all the pages with Apps icons? Max allowed is 11 pages and if you have exceeded, some Apps will not appear on pages but are still on your phone. Try reduce pages space by grouping icons into folders.

IPod Touch 4th gen unable to install apps

Not sure where to start really. OK basically my iPod touch 4th gen is unable to download apps from the app store or any content from the iTunes app, the only way I can get new content on to my device is to sync it with iTunes on my mac (which isn't convenient for me)
after about 3 weeks of running my iPod without any problems, it starts out of nowhere and it doesn't matter what firmware I am running (it has happened on 4.1 and 4.2.1) the only way to fix it is a full DFU restore even more annoying than not being able to install apps without my mac.
Here is the message I get: http://i.min.us/ijfOIK.PNG
Anyone know what is up with my iPod? I have an old Touch 2G as well and its never done this to me.
Note: i am not jailbroken, but i have a few friends and family members that are jailbroken and have never had this problem.
if anyone knows anything i would appreciate it as i am now on my 13th DFU restore thanks to this problem

Fix iOS Apps Stuck on “Waiting…” During Download & Install
Fix iPhone Apps Stuck "Waiting" During Installation

TS1702 When I try to install an app on my iPhone, I get either 'Unable to download / Install Application at this time' or on iTunes I get error 0xe000008

OK, So here's the case on my new iPhone.
A friend gifted me this app for my iPhone and it worked fine on my friends phone ( he downloaded it as well from my account and I authorized it temporarily so he could install it) but when I just tried to install the app on my iPhone, I kept getting an error, like I said in the title, either "Unable to download application (app name) could not be installed at this time" or on iTunes, I would get the error "unknown error 0xe000008" on iTunes, and the app would be un-launchable. I have tried many times to delete it and reinstall, I've tried tips from other users, disabling and re-enabling wifi, logging out and back in my Apple Store account, just about everything, even a fresh re-sync, does anybody have any ideas what to do, and what may be causing this?? This is seriously starting to frustrating me!
Thanks!

I downloaded a widget from apple and was unable to open it because a window appeared telling me that the developer was unidentified. How do I change the security preferences that allow me to only install apps from the Mac App Store?

TS1702 Unable to install apps with iOS 6

After i update my iPhone 4s with iOS 6, I am unable to install apps. Is there any other way other than what's mentioned on this article?

Just to clarify previous message.

Please assist.
Thanks in advance!

I am unable to install apps as my iTunes states my computer is already authorised, then it tells me to authorise it? Does anybody out there know how to fix this. I am sorry if there is already a thread regarding this but there is 224,613 running atm.

I have an iMac that has iTunes on it.
My iPad is a first gen but its almost upto date, I haven't updated it for about a month.
If anyone out there has some information I would appreciate it a lot.
I am only doing this as iBooks isn't working
Thanks in advance.

Removing the SC Folder worked for me. But as an after thought and another potential problem although I do not think it is related, I had movies authorized thru my wifes Apple ID and she changed her ID a couple weeks ago. This, I think, could have had a contributing factor although not sure.
You have to delete the SC Folder and then reboot and then go into iTunes, re-authorize if it asks, then I was able to sync the movies. Hope this helps a little.

I am unable to delete any of the installed apps on my iPad2. If I press on the icon i wish to delete, it merely starts shaking but does not show me the X sign for the delete.

I am unable to delete any of the installed apps on my iPAD2. If I press on the icon , it merely starts shaking but no longer displays the X sign in order for me to delete it.
I also notice that I am unable to display the HIDE tab if I swipe on any of my purchased apps.
I think this may be happening after I upgraded to iOS 6
Any help much appreciated, thanks

What app?

I can not update my installed apps from the App Store Update page. I can individually update from the App Store Purchased page. I tried a soft reset but still unable. Any suggestions?

You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.
