Apps aren't bought?

My siblings use the same itunes account as I do, and they bought an app.  now, however, when I go to the app store to get the same app, it says it hasn't been bought and I have to re-buy it. what should I do to make sure I won't have to pay money?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Open the App Store app on the iPhone, sign into the account and go to the Purchases pane and click Not On This iPhone. Is the app in the list?

  • Bug? My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future.

    My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future even though I can see them on the month, week and day view. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried it all. I called the apple support and they checked on their iPads. They all did the same and they couldn't help me. They suggested trying this way. I'd like to be able to plan a few years ahead and the year view would make thing so easy!
    Is this a bug?

    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • How can I find a list of apps that I bought in the App Store?

    Is there a way to see what apps you've bought? Or do you have to go by the receipts they send you? I trashed those. Just curious how much I've spent on apps so far.

    Log into your iTunes Store account and look at your Purchase History.
    Regards.

  • I bought a MBPro which came with Lion installed,i also wanted to have a copy of installation disc so i used mac app store.Normally if an app is already bought there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer.I've charged for this download is it normal?

    Hi ,i bought a MacBookPro which came with Lion installed on it (i have registered my mac book pro right after i bought it), i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash, so i used mac app store to get it.Normally if an app is already bought (for iphone app store) there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer, than the app store lets the buyer to re-download/re-install the app.I've charged for this download afterwards, because i was using virtual credit card, there was not enough money transferred to that card during that download but the app store let me download it anyway. I haven't charged before the download, the app store first let me to download it then it requested that amount of money for next download wich it was a free app. Can anybody enlight me? thanks

    Hi ...
    i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash
    If you have problems with your Mac you use Lion Recovery
    However, you can create your own installation disc >  How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
    Since Lion came pre installed on your Mac, the App Store doesn't not recognize that as a purchase so you if you want to re download Lion to create a boot disk you will have to pay for it. You can then re download Lion on all your authorized Macs for free.

  • How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

    How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

    You should be able to download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes.
    If it doesn't show there then was the purchase successful e.g does it show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If not then it might just be a holding charge, and not a 'proper' purchase charge.
    If it does show on your purchase history, but not in Purchased for redownloading, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

    Hi,
    As you said, after the cache of the browser cleared, the old version code still display in the debugger.
    It would not be an expected behavior as the browser still gives the old version code even the code works in a new way.
    What if you inspect the code in other machine?
    If the outcome is the same, it is recommended to create another app and do the test again in case it is an issue of app development.
    Feel free to reply with the test result if there are any progress.
    Thanks

    Apple charged me £20.99 for in-app purchase for an app I just bought an hour ago while I did not bought any in-app purchase. How could I make claim and refund this money?

    If you didn't make an in-app purchase within the app then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    You may also want to turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off'

    Hi everyone,
    I downloaded several apps from Ovi store, but since upgrading my phone's firmware (at Nokia's request) I have lost my purchases, and can't redownload them. Does anyone know how I can access them again?
    I tried contacting Nokia support via their UK website, and initally got a very friendly response, but as my request was bounced between several departments emails became less frequent, and eventually the correspondence stopped. Furthermore, my requests for updates on their progress have been repeatedly ignored.
    That was nearly three months ago.
    I provided all the account, purchase, and technical details Nokia asked for within a few hours of Ovi support requesting them, but have had nothing in return. Does anyone know how I can get support to listen to me? If anyone from Nokia reads is reading this, could you please process my request? Or at least give me an update?
    I'm normally a huge fan of Nokia's products, but unfortunately have to report that their "support" is amongst the worst I have ever encountered.
    For the record, the apps I purchased were Tetris, Bejeweled and Best Timer.
    Regards,
    Andrew
    Hello FluidDruid,
    I have sent links to download your purchased applications Bejeweled, Tetris and Best Timer to your device. Please send me a pm if you need anything else.
    Thank you,

    Thanks!
    It's a shame that it took a post on a discussion board to get this resolved, when going through the correct channels failed, but everything is working now, so that's the main thing.

    Howdy Hestersfree,
    This can be done through the App Store on the device that you'd like the app installed on.
    Apps on iOS
    Open the App Store on your device.
    Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates from the bottom navigation bar. 
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download button.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
