Why does a free app "fly" to my dock when I download and install it, but when I re-download a paid app, it doesn't "fly" to my dock.

When I download a new app, it has no problem. With an app that was deleted and then downloaded again, it says installing. But when it's done, nothing it there.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

This may not be helpful but the only app I ever purchased (the upgrade to iPhoto 11) did not, for some reason, feature in my list of purchases for quite some time.


I knew I had bought it and 'about iPhoto' came back with the right version code.


Then I came across it (can't remember how) in a listing marked 'Hidden apps' or something like that, and managed to instate it into my purchase list.


Perhaps someone out there has had a similar experience and can clarify. It may be that this is what has happened to you.
