Hello Paul, Try going to the purchases tab, then interact with the cell that says Installed. You should hear that the installed button is dimmed. Now, try hitting Option-Space. This overwrites the behaviour of OS X and forces the app to reinstall if it is not already. This also works on applications you have already installed and register correctly. When you have hit Option-Space, you can stop interacting with the cell and VO-left then right. It should then say that the button is now "Pause."
