[QUOTE="terraform, post: 1553759, member: 111075"] Hey all, I have a weird problem. I was having tons of issues with my mid 2011 27" iMac, yet it passed all the ASD tests and DriveGenius tests. So I decided to clean install. It had been a while since I had done so, so I looked online followed the instructions (made a boot installer on a SD card, started from said installer, erased my Startup drive, then clean installed the OS) All seemed to be fine however when I went to the app store to reinstall some of my apps, the store showed some apps as "installed" which of course is impossible. Now when I right click on a file and open the contextual menu to "choose application" to open said file in I am also seeing old versions of apps and apps that are no longer installed on my system as options... does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to rectify this situation? much appreciated if so!
