Question

Cannot download a previously purchased app after switching computers

I switched from a Macbook Pro to an iMac. Afterwards, I was unable to open a particular app. iTunes App Store does not give me a download icon for this app when I click the Purchased link and search for the app.

When I search for my computer, the .ipa file cannot be found.

If you have the app listed (even though you might not have the actual .ipa file on that computer) in the Apps part of our Mac's iTunes library then it won't show in the Purchased link for redownloading. Try deleting it from your library and then see if it shows as being redownloadable via the Purchased link under Quick Links.
