What is the install button on the purchases page

I bought and installed Lion(10.7.3) in August 2011 but I still see an install button on the purchases page.  Need I go through another installation process?  If not what is the purpose of this button.
Thank you in advance.

You no longer have a copy of the Lion installer on your Mac because it self deletes after it has been run. That allows you to download it again should you need to use it.

    I have an error when installing apps on my mac from the apple store. It says "return to the purchase page and try again"... I think it is something to do with the installation process itself. I have tried to clear apple store cache, restarted apple store from debug menu, double checked my apple id account and etc..but doesn't work anyway.

    I'm having the same problem and went as far as to delete and reinstall the AppStore and still no dice.

  • HT202159 Pixlemator had less than a minute to finish downloading, then stopped.  I go to the purchase page and it says install.  When I click on install it says there was an error and tells me to go to purchase page.

    Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try re downloading the app.
    If that didn't help, open Sysem Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Select:  Mac App Store and identified developers
    If that area is greyed out, click the padlock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password.
    Then try downloading the app.

  • TS1702 What was the purchase I made that showed on my credit card?

    What was the purchase I made that showed on my credit card?

    We are fellow users, we won't know. You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, though I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions. If you can't find the charge or don't recognise it, and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • "Use the purchases page to try again" App store update error in Mavericks

    When Mavericks came out, I did a clean install of the OS. The first thing I did upon logging in, was reverting iTunes back to 10.7 before I opened it so it wouldn't update my iTunes library files and make them incompatible with any version lower than 11 (I went backt to 10.7 some time ago).
    However, this seems to cause a problem with the App store - specfically updating apps. Whenever I try to update anything, I get this error message:
    After going to the purchases page, it then looks like this:
    And so after trying to update it from the purchaes page, I still get this error message:
    The only work around I have found to work is to update itunes to version 11, update the apps, then downgrade back to 10.7 again. This is a hastle so I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Obviously the app store in Mavericks needs iTunes 11 installed for it to work correctly - so I was thinking, was there a way to trick OSX into thinking that I have iTunes 11 installed when I actually have 10.7? I'm assuming there must be a file somewhere included in the version 11 install that the app store looks for to work with?
    Any advice/help would be appreciated!

    Ok,  time to troubleshoot then.
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Run the terminal app in your Utilities folder
    Copy & Paste this command exactly and hit return:
    open $TMPDIR../C/
    In the Finder window that appears, place the com.apple.appstore folder into the trash.
    Restart the Mac App Store and see if things work now.

  • Firefox crashes the second I purchase on Ebay. When Firefox reopens, it brings me to the purchase page again making me think the transaction did not go through. Later I find out the transaction did go through.

    Crashes the second I purchase on Ebay. When Firefox reopens, it brings me to the purchase page again making me think the transaction did not go through. Later I find out the transaction did go through.

    This is all very confusing and frustrating. You recommended that I install the latest updates for:
    1. Shockwave Flash security (but do not tell me the number for the latest update)
    2. Java Plug-In version 1.6.0_07
    3. Flash version 10.0
    However, you do not tell me how install these. I also woke up early so I could access your Chat service from 6:00 - 7:00 am Pacific time but it is not available. I have also not been able to find a contact phone number to get my problem resolved. I regularly purchase on ebay and have had this problem for all 3 purchases I made in the last week. I need to purchase several other items in the next few weeks before I leave the country for 2 months. I need to get this problem resolved immediately. If someone can call me, my phone number is 720-***-****.
    Thank you.

  • I got message "OS X Yosemite failed to download" "Use the Purchases page to try again."

    i got message "OS X Yosemite failed to download" "Use the Purchases page to try again." when i download OS X Yosemite
    i got this message when i downloaded 869.7MB and i can't download more than that
    what should i do??

    This seems to be working for me. VPN using https://www.getcloak.com/ - 30 day free trial. Crossing my fingers since the download isn't done yet.
    I had a hunch that my ISP was the culprit. I cannot download anything from the appstore that had more than 1 gig filesize. Xcode, mavericks, yosemite. They would all stop and give the "failed to download....use purchase page..." error the moment the appstore starts downloading.
    None of the changing DNS, emptying of cache, on/off appstore, or restarting worked.
    I'm on an iMac, Maverick.

    It can also be an iTunes issue. Many of us, including myself, are not used to the new interface of iTunes 11 and would find ways to downgrade the available iTunes 11 back to iTunes 10.7 in Mac OS Mavericks. The only issue with downgrading (using AppZapper and Pacifist) is that you will not be able to update/install apps from the App Store after rebooting the Mac.
    If you happen to have downgraded your iTunes in this method, then uninstall the iTunes 10.7 and reinstall iTunes 11 again - the App Store should resume its download/update function without any issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to clear the "purchase" page?

    I have the Purchase page full of APPs fr.o.m. Years ago, ( got them on my iPod).
    Can I and if, how do I do it?
    Thank you

    Currently you can't, it's a record of your purchases/downloads and is used to allow you to re-download for free : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
