Purchased apps not free.

Hello,
I own an iPad mini and an iPhone 4S. On the 4S, I have many apps that I want to transfer to my iPad mini. I do not want to restore from a back up though. So I knew that on my iPhone, already purchased apps could be re-installed for free as long as I log into the account I used to purchase it. On my iPad, that is not the case, it says the app still costs $1.99, $.99, etc.
Anyone know a solution?
TIA, 3chu

Chances are since you had not previously synced your iPad to this computer before, it synced before asking if you wanted to download purchases, so it removed them. You can easily download apps you've paid for again directly on your iPad.
But the next time you sync your iPad to your computer, turn off automatically sync your iPad, so you can transfer your apps purchases. To turn off automatically sync, in iTunes on your computer (without your iPad connected), go to Edit > Preferences > Devices and turn off automatically synch iPhones iPads iPods
Now, connect your iPad to your computer via USB. When it is recognized on the right hand side of your iTunes screen, right click it once. Choose transfer purchases. Click on apply in the lower right hand side if the iTunes screen and your apps will now be in your iTunes Apps Library.

Purchased apps not appearing in history

Hi everyone,
I am writing you concerning a problem I have encountered with several apps on the appstore that, despite being bought, persistently refuse to appear on my list of purchased items. I have tried downloading them with different devices, even those that belonged to friends of mine, and the problem remained. It was impossible to find the apps in the purchase history.
The apps in question are the following:
- Phantom seeds
- Juniper's Knot
- The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
- Ghost Trick : phantom detective
- Ace Attorney : Phoenix Wright Trilogy HD
- Pictures at an Exhibition -Free Adventure Gamebook
- London Detective Story - English Version
The common element amongst all the above apps is that they are free (some of them do have IAPs however). My problem is that if the apps are ever removed from the app store, I will have lost access to the content I have purchased.
Please feel free to try to download these apps on your idevices and you will see that they do not appear in the purchase history.
Do you know how this issue can be fixes? The developers have declined responsibility and referred me back to Apple's customer service.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best,
P

There seems to be two problems with purchased apps not appearing. Both separate. For me, all I see is spinning circle until finally the app crashes. Everything else on the store works except the purchased app page. None of the posted solutions work for this type.
Others seem to be able to fix their problems with either signing out of the store and singing back in while, for some, just a hard reboot works.
Must be a bug somewhere that Only Apple can fix.

Hi, i have problem with my apple id when i want purchase app even free one, asked me for complete my card informations... but i don't want to use debit card because already i have gift card and charge it in my id... please help

hi, i have problem with my apple id when i want purchase app even free one, asked me for complete my card informations... but i don't want to use debit card because already i have gift card and charge it in my id... please help me.
when i unchek the card information it was show me an error!

Though you are being asked for card details it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you want to gift content). Have you tried entering your card's details to confirm the account ? You should then be able to remove it.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance
Is it a new account ? If it is then unless a new account is created by following the instructions on this page (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then you will need to enter card details (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

Transferring information from your current iPhone to a new iPhone

Purchased Apps not appearing in purchased section!

My iPad was recently wiped out. As a result, I need to reload all of my apps from the app store. When accessing the 'Purchased' section on the app store, my purchased apps do not appear. The screen is blank. If you randomly click on the screen, the individual app wll appear on a new screen. However, I have a large quantity of apps to download, and I will not be able to do that for every app. Help!

Purchased app not compatible since changing my N8 ...

Having gone through hours attempting to re-download all my apps and settings since installing belle (a nightmare in itself) quite a few of them are no longer available to me! One in particular that I use frequently is "River Cottage Every Day" a food app - this was a paid for app, so I am unhappy to say the least that it no longer works on my phone... Is there a solution that I am missing or a fix planned for this?

Hi,
Welcome to the Nokia discussion boards!
We're sorry to hear that you have been having trouble with re-downloading applications on your purchased list. Here are a few solutions you can try:
Why are some apps not available for Nokia Belle?
As Nokia Belle is a major upgrade, this also affects apps compatability and certain apps are not yet compatible. We are nevertheless constantly working with our developers to upgrade apps to Nokia Belle.
Also, with such apps like "River Cottage Every Day", it may be worth you contacting the developers of that application yourself here.
If I lose paid apps after the update to Nokia Belle, will Nokia compensate for that?
First, please check if the app is available for free redownloading from Nokia Store. If not, please contact Nokia Care who will provide support for apps that have been purchased within one year.
Hope this helps you in solving your issue.
Regards,
haZey

Why are the iWork apps not free FOR ME?

This might be a pretty old question, but lately I came to know that iWork apps were/are free for iOS 7 running devices, and my iPhone 4s which runs on iOS 7.1.2 and I activated it JUST 4 DAYS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 2013 (And many say, those who activated their iDevices after September 1st of 2013 are eligible to download iWork apps for free) is not able to get those apps for free. So is there any trick on refreshing/re-activating my account so that I get those apps (iPhoto, iMovie, Pages etc.) for free? Not being mean, but I feel so embarrassed for not activating my phone just after 4 days so that all those apps which I needed most would have been free (And ofcourse I did not know They would come for free if I had activated my phone afer 4 days ).

The offer for free iWorks apps is date dependent. If you purchased it prior to the eligible date, no, you are not entitled to them for free, and there is no trick to getting them. you will need to purchase them.

Delete purchased apps (Not hide)

Is it possible to delete purchased apps from my Apple-ID account, i know they can be hidden, but i´m looking for a way to delete them so they are disassociated from my Apple account?
At least for the free apps there should be that option.
Is this possible?

Okay, so lets try this question then... Is it possible to delete an Apple account, not just disassociate my devices? I guess thats not possible either, just as so many other things when it comes to Apple?

If they were purchased using a different Apple ID than the one your phone is signed in to in Settings>iTunes & App Stores they won't appear until you sign into the other ID. They also won't appear if they are no longer available in the app store.

Anyone still having purchased apps not showing up in devices?

Problem since iOS 6. Purchased apps list not showing or crashing on iOS devices.

Purchased section of the App Store does not show up, just crashes like the way apple is slowly crashing with all their mistakes over this past year.
Support has been a joke, just one mistake after another... For change can they actually fix something without breaking it or making it worse????

Removing purchased apps not on device?

How di remove unwanted apps that are in purchased but not n devise?

Sounds like it from this article:
support.apple.com/kb/HT1977
+If you normally sync applications to your device from one computer and then connect it to iTunes on another computer, iTunes will not attempt to sync applications from that library. Applications can only be synced from one iTunes library. If you are connected your iPhone or iPod touch to an iTunes library that you don't normally sync with, you can still transfer purchased applications from the device by choosing File > Transfer Purchases in iTunes.+
But since I don't have an iPhone, you might have better luck finding tricks on that in the iPhone forums.
