How do I restore an in-app purchase from a backup?

I purchased and downloaded a number of issues of Popular Science magazine. These would have been backed up over the cloud.
I subsequently deleted some of these from my iPad to free up space.
Since then, the Popular Science app has been removed from the Australian App Store.
Am I able to restore individual in-app purchases from a backup? And, if so, how do I do this?
If not, what's the impact of restoring a full backup from, say, 12 months ago? Does this mean I've lost all app data in the period since? I'm thinking that this option would not be practical and am hoping that I can pick and choose from a backup a la Time Machine on OS X.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It works the same way as a credit card so on the back you have your security code. You type in the card number and then you give it your security code. You should be able to purchase what ever you need.

  • How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

    First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it.  All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this?  I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
    Thanks!

    Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
    But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

  • How can I transfer all the apps purchased from one account to another?

    Good day,
    I'm just wonderin' can I transfer all the apps purchased from my old account to a newer one?

    No, apps (plus other content bought from Apple such as music and films) are tied to the account that bought / downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

  • How can I restore the iPhoto app deleted from applications by accident?

    I am trying to restore the app iPhoto that was deleted. I restarted the computer using the Mac OS X v10.2 upgrade Install disc 1 and the response was, "you have a newer version of this system on your iMac" or something like that. How can I reinstall the original app or even an updated version that is compatible with OSX 10.2.8 (6R73)?
    Thanks

    Use the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

  • HT201250 How do I restore photos stored in iPhoto from old backups?

    I'm desperate for some photos I downloaded a few days ago and they were missing the next day.  I'm not sure if they were back up or not and have no idea where they went.

    If your intention is to recover additional photos from those already in your iPhoto Library and intend using a "Restore" from Time Machine or another source, first keep a copy of the original "iPhoto Library" with a different name, to avoid over-writing.
    You can hold the Opt key while opening iPhoto to see what libraries are present on the system and select one to see the contents.
    If you want to merge the two libraries, there is a facility in "iPhoto Library Manager" to do so.  It has other functions, to search for duplicates etc. I have not tried this and am not sure how successful it is at keeping album structures and photos with the same name but different contents.

    Always keep external backup copies of originals during such operations.

  • Hi, i downloaded call of duty black ops on my iMac, and i had in app purchases, and it asked me if i wanted to restore them, but an error occured and I had to click cancel, now I don't know how to restore the in app purchases, does anyone know?

    hi, i downloaded call of duty black ops on my iMac, and i had in app purchases, and it asked me if i wanted to restore them, but an error occured and I had to click cancel, now I don't know how to restore the in app purchases, does anyone know?

    The developer would know, at least they should help troubleshooting.

  • How do I Family Share in-app purchases?

    How do I Family Share in-app purchases?   The free app only allows certain areas to open. An in-app purchase unlocks the full app capability.  I cannot Family Share the in-app purchase. How do I do this?

    There is a way to get around it, as it worked for me!
    I turned on family sharing for my son. Now I have set up an Apple ID account for him too. His ipad was under my Apple ID account but I have since restored the ipad to factory settings, setting it up as his own now (you don't need to do this step, but I chose to do it so everything on his ipad is under his account now).
    When I logged into the App store on his ipad, using his Apple ID account I can access the apps that I have purchased (I being the main account holder). However I had the same issue as you, that I couldn't family share the in-app purchases.
    To get around this on his ipad, I logged off from the app store with his Apple ID account and then logged into it again using my Apple ID account. Therefore I could download the original apps that I had purchased for him + the in-app purchases. Then I logged out of the app store using my Apple ID account and logged in again using his Apple ID Account. Bingo now the full app is on his ipad!
    Then I synced his ipad to the itunes library on my PC, so the apps are now in his library. It would be also wise to do a backup so you don't have to repeat this process again.....
    Cheers

  • I have recently re-installed i-annot open because of a problem" response when I try to get into my files. After the re-install I still got the same message from 'pages'.  How can I restore the 'pages' app?

    I have recently re-installed i-Work because I was getting a "pages cannot be opened because of a problem" response and I was unable to read any of my documents or open any attachments from my e-mails. After the install, 'pages' still will not open and gives the same response. How do I restore my 'pages' app?

    I've never seen this error but I'd assume that it can be fixed the same way many Mac application errors are: open your Library folder and look inside the Preferences folder for the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist file and throw it away.

  • HT201272 I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store

    I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store?

    You can download the current versions of the apps from the store e.g. via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading. But you may find that the current versions require higher iOS versions than you have on your iPod - in which case have you not got copies of the older versions of those apps on your computer's iTunes or on a backup ?
