I can't find the purchased tab in the app store app on my iPad

Ok well the purchased tab that is supposed to be in the app store app on my iPad isn't there and I'm trying to see the app that have been previously purchased so I can find some the old apps I used to have on my iPod and put them on my iPad. I have done it before but I can't remember how to do it now.

If you update to iOS 4.3.3 you should then see it in the App Store app. If you have iTunes 10.3 on your computer you can also do it there. Otherwise I think that you'll have to go through your purchase history on your account in iTunes on your computer.

I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone

I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone from the purchases tab.

It's still accessible. All you've really done is hidden the app. To restore it to the list, go to "Featured" in the Mac Store menu bar and then click "Account" in the side bar on the right, under "Quick Links". The Account Information page will have three sections. The middle section is "iTunes in the Cloud." In that section, you will see "Hidden Purchases: You have hidden X items" and to the right of that bit of text, you will see a clickable link labeled "View Hidden Purchases". Go ahead and click that link. Any apps that you have hidden, deliberately or otherwise, will be listed there. To unhide an app, click the "Unhide button" to the far right of the app's name.
Yea, it can be disconcerting to see an app disappear unintentionally. Apple might want to consider a menu button for viewing hidden purchases.

HT201272 Why aren't my previously purchased apps showing up in the purchased tab of the app store on my new ipad? I used the same ID as my old ipad.

I sold my original ipad and bought an ipad 2. I wasn't worried about losing all of the apps I had previously purchased/downloaded, because I knew that the app store has a "purchased" tab, from which you can download previously downloaded apps. I set up my new ipad 2 with the same app store ID. I went to the purchased tab, the loading circle went on for awhile then went away, but no apps showed up. What's the problem?
I would be really upset if I lost all of the apps I previously paid for or downloaded (probably about 80 or so), seeing as how the app store is supposed to remember my purchase/download history based upon the user ID.

Go to "Settings > iTunes and App Stores", touch the AppleID, sign out, and then sign in with your revised AppleID.

This service is ONLY available in beta version in the U.S.
"You could try going to the tab "store" then scroll down to "check for available downloads. I hope this helps!"
This will not work.

Can't find my purchased music in the clouds

I recently download music from iTunes. On my iphone5 and now I can't find it no where on my device

Is this downloaded music from itunes on your computer or using the iTunes store app on the device?

Why aren't my video purchases on the Purchased tab in the iTunes store?

I went onto the iTunes store. They said that I could download past purchases to my new machine, which is great. But, I can't seem to find any of my video purchases, which is what I need to get. I've found Music, Apps, and Books. Am I missing something?

actually its not a cropping effect of iDVD, it's actually a cropping effect done by the TV. if you play it in say...apple DVD player, you will see everything because computer monitors (unless you set it up wrong) don't crop images.
TV does this whole cropping thing (called "Overscan" in the industry) because back in the day (and to some extent still today), CRT TVs (the big clunky ones that aren't LCD or Plasma) are very sensitive to power ratings...if you turn on something that uses a lot of electricity...say a Vaccum, the CRT will actually shrink the video in size until you turn the vaccum off. This causes some consumers to think there is something wrong with the TV and they return it. The industry solved this problem by setting the TV tube to show display everything on the glass plus some on the internal cabin of the TV (which is the part of the picture you don't see). that way, when something draws a lot of power, the whole image doesn't shrink smalller than the display surface...it just fills it. Thus, giving the consumer the benefit of the doubt.
However, with the emergence of Plasma and LCD TVs, I'd say Overscan will be a thing of the past in a few years.

Can't find my purchased apps after changing the country ?

I Changed thr country in the setting of itunes , and i can't find my purchased apps , i need help

That is how it will show, all content is tied to the country as well as to the account, items will no longer show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps for redownloading for free.
For apps if you try to redownload an app from the main part of the store you should (based on what other people have posted) get a prompt saying that you've already bought the app and would you like to redownload it for free - try a free or cheap app and see if you get a similar prompt.
For media (music, films, tv shows) you will have to pay again if you want to redownload them.

I can't find face time tab on my iPad air

HT203167 I can not find previous purchases

I can not see previous purchases ,and I can not up date any apps

If you are trying to see your purchase history then you should be able to do that on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) drop-down menu.
If you are wanting to re-download past purchases then not all content types can be re-downloaded in all countries (e.g. music, films, tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all, and audiobooks and ringtones can't be re-downloaded anywhere), but what you can re-download whould show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes and App Store apps, and 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.

IPad (1), I don't see the "purchased" tab in App Store.

I just got iOs 4.3.5, and I don't see the purchased tab in the App Store, or in iTunes. I do however see it in the iBooks app. Is this because I'm using the oringal iPad? I've tried a restart, and deleting it from the multi-task bar. Any ideas?

No. I have the original iPad and it all works for me. It always has.
Lets try this next. If you haven't downloaded anything since the iOS update why don't you download any free app - anything. Even free apps show up in the purchased tab. See if you download an app maybe it will reset something and the purchased tab will show up. It's worth a try and there are tons of free apps. You could try the same thing with any free iTunes content like the free single of the week or a free movie trailer - just to see if the tab shows up.

Cannot see the "purchased tab" in iTunes app

A week ago, my iPhone 4 was accidently removed and deleted from my iCloud account, which means all the content was removed from it. And ofcourse i was not prepared, but i was stupid enough to not backup my music and all that stuff. And my music was gone. Then i found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 , where it's described how to locate and redownload your music from iTunes. But this tab is not showing up anywhere on my iPhone. And neither on my iPad (3rd gen). Any suggestion? :-)
Btw my iPhone 4 is running iOS 5.1.1

Try this from iTunes on a computer
Make sure itunes is up to date, click Help > Check for update if you are on windows.
When you click on iTunes Store in iTunes, and the store pulls up, make sure you are signed in to the itunes store (Should see your appleid or "Sign IN" at the top right of the store)
once you are signed in, the purchased tab is listed on the right with a big blue "NEW" bubble next to it
use that to download any missing content to your computer, and then sync it to the phone
if you do not see the purchased tab on the phone then you are not up to date with your os software, or you are looking in the wrong place
