App store refuses to let me download again

I had to do a clean install of my computer and thought I could get my apps back from the App Store.  Not only did the clone/copy wipe out all my keychains, but the apps I did buy, such as iPhoto, are still showing up as installed, and there is no option to reinstall.  I didn't uninstall since I reformated the drive and didn't think I'd need to do that.  Anyone know any way of forcing the issue so that I can get what I paid for?

Since you are a resident of the U.S. and running iTunes 10.3 or later, you can re download past purchases for free.
Try here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Just make sure you use the same Apple ID.

    Is your data backed up?
    Are you running any non-Apple system optimization tools?

    How do I remove my credit card from my account and still download free apps? because that card is no more good anymore the App Store will not let me download any apps . I no longer have a credit or debit card.so PLS help

    On your iPad tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

  • My app store won't let me download none of the older versions of apps for my ipod touch 2g.

    My app store won't let me download any of the older versions of an app, but in my sisters case she can and she has an ipod touch 2g just like me. She was able to download kik, twitter, instagram, and some more apps that told me I had to have ios 4.3.1 or higher to download. and theres only one app I want and its kik, can someone help me figure out whats wrong with my app store, it would be a great help.

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • IPad App Store won't let me download apps

    iPad App Store not letting me download apps anymore?!?!?!

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • TS1702 I restored my iPod touch 1st generation and the App Store won't let me download apps I previously had.

    I got an iPod touch 1st generation and downloaded loads of apps, some paid some free. A few weeks ago I restored the iPod touch and when I went to download apps that I had already owned it said I needed a newer iOS.  It says I need iOS 4.3 and I have iOS 4.2.1 and when i tried to update it says I have no software updates.

    Do you have any of those apps saved on your computer, in iTunes?
    It is true that your 1st generation iPad is already now running the highest version of iOS it can. It cannot be updated further.  If the developer has pulled the older versions of their apps and now only offers versions requiring iOS 5 or 6 then you will not be able to run those apps any longer (unless you kept backup copies of the older versions in iTunes on your computer).
    Developers determine what version(s) of their apps are in the App Store. As many have updated their apps to take advantage of the enhancements in iOS 6 , they've pulled their older versions and no longer support them.

  • I have 1.7 g of space left on my Ipad but the app store will not let me download garage band on to my iPad with is only 808mb can some one tell why this is happening. Thanks

    Loads of space but not letting me download garage band on to my iPad and comes up with pop up saying not anough space on the iPad

    When the app is downloaded it will expand as all app downloads do. You are downloading a "compressed installer" in a manner of speaking. When the app expands it will be larger than the space that you have left on the device.
    App downloads on a computer work the same way,

  • What should I do if the App Store does not let me download apps

    I just got a new iPhone and I am trying to download apps but it won't let me. I'll type in my password and it still won't download! I need help

    Perhaps downloading apps is restricted on your iPhone.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions

  • App store won't let me download anything because I got a new apple ID?

    So I'm moving out soon and I've been sharing my apple ID with my parents. They wanted me to create my own account, so I did and it was going fine until I accidentally deleted the Twitter app on my phone. When I went to go download it again, it acted as if I was redownloading a purchase. But because I was using a different account on my phone, it said I wasn't authorized to download the app.
    I know I should have made my own apple ID when I first got my phone, but my parents didn't want me to, and now I'm really stuck. I can't update ANY of my apps or download things that I did on my other account. Is there any way I can like reset my phone without losing anything or am I just stuck like this?
    Thanks,
    Amanda

  • My App Store won't let me download free apps because there is a problem with the rece t purchase and she. I fill the credit card details in it is saying it is declined, I cannot download any apps until this is fixed

    I am trying to download FREE apps but I can't download any without billing information. Showing up and saying there was a problem with a recent purchase and when I put credit card details it is saying its declined, help? I can't download no apps until this is fixed?

    This is happening to me too. I'm looking for anyway to fix this its getting very annoying not being able to update apps.

  • App store won't let me download apps but wont let me reove billing info for FREE app downloads.

    I cannot download apps anymore. Free apps. I used a card of mine that had a few dollars on it to purchase two games that were 99 cents. I had close to three dollars. But now I cannot update or download my apps thanks to a SEEMINGLY bad billing account. Thanks, but its not bad. There is enough for it to be taken out, and still have money left in there. I've done the math. But because of this issue, I can no longer download free apps, nor update the ones I have. Nor will my account allow me to REMOVE my billing info. Can someone help me out please?

    If you were trying to use a debit card then they I don't think that they are still accepted in all countries,or your card issue may have declined the purchases. Do you have a different card that you could try so that what you owe can be paid, or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you can redeem one onto your account - if iTunes thinks that you owe money then you won't be able to download anything until what is owed is paid, or you've contacted iTunes Support and they've agreed that you don't owe anything

  • App store will not let me download the free Yosemite because a family member has already done so.  Can I get it under family share?

    I went to download the free version of OS X Yosemite, and when I clicked the "free" button a message appears saying that a family member has already downloaded it and the only option I have is to buy it.  Can I access the free version through family share? If i leave family share can I download the free version?

    We don't want you to leave your family!
    I think that the best thing would be preparing an USB loader of the Yosemite installer and then use it for new installation process.

  • The app store will not let me download lion

    i have tried to download lion a bunch of times and it will keep telling me i need two gb of space... my finder told me I have 80 gb left on my computer, how do I fix my problem.

    "Space" is hard disk.
    It is telling you, most likely, you need 2 GB of "memory"  or RAM.
    AppleMenu > About This Mac ... how much memory and what kind of processor?
