After restoring my phone my recently purchased apps became unavailable, how would I get them back?

A few days ago I bought some apps since I got iTunes gift cards around christmas.
Earlier this morning my phone was playing up, not syncing properly etc so I tried to completely reset it as if it were a new phone however when I tried to install some of the apps I bought last week they were nowhere in my library on my laptop. I ignored it thinking that they would appear on the appstore as bought and I'd just have to install them but I'm being asked to pay again.
I have the receipt ID, but I was wondering if there was a away aorund having to contact apple to have the problem resolved.
Many thanks.

Hi Rikano,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would try downloading them again as per this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If that doesn't work or the apps aren't showing on that list, then reporting to iTunes Store might be a good next step:

Aren't they in your iTunes library? If so, sync them back to your phone. If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

I sync'ed my iphone apps last night on a "new" computer. Since it was not regrestered on that computer, iPhone would not sync any bought apps. Went I went to use an app after trying this almost all my bought apps disappeared. How do I get them back?

I tried syncing my Iphone4 apps on a "new" computer. I was told that the computer was not registered with iTunes and could not back up all the bought apps. When I went to check on the iPhone after this I noticed (have been blind not to) that almost all of my bought apps were missing. After I registered the "new" computer and sync'ed my apps nothing removed showed back up. How do I get these apps back?
I tried syncing on the "old" computer and all the apps were grayed out with some unchecked. Since they are grayed out I cannot unchecking and sync them.
The difference between the "new" and "old" computer is the OS. New has Win7 old is XP.

An iPhone can only sync to one computer at a time. When you synced to the new one without first copying your iTunes library from the old one it deleted the apps because they were not on the new computer. You could have transferred them from the iPhone to the new computer before the first sync as described in the manual, but now it is too late for that.
Fortunately, you can redownload apps without having to pay for them again as long as the iTunes account is the same on the new computer as it was on the old.

The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:

If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:

By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

You need to talk to clash of clans first. The game should have a support link.
If they can't/won't help you then you turn to iTunes support.
There seem to be a lot of issues with in app purchases in this game because not a day goes by that someone doesn't post a thread asking something similar.

You can get iTunes purchases back by:

For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

Maybe you have multiple accounts that's why your purchase history is empty. You can try checking for possible Apple IDs that's existing for you or you can ask for assistance from support.

I updated my iPhone 4s with the ios 7.0.6 software and lost all my ringtones I purchased through Itunes. How do I get them back?

Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

Did you sync to a different computer than the one you had previously synced to? If so you need to sync to the original computer. Otherwise you can just restore the last backup you made on the previous sync.

Either sync them back from from your iTunes library, or redownload them (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
