Bought an app on my iPhone, do I still need to pay for it again on my macbook?
So I bought iStudiez pro on my iphone and I've synced all my apple id on all my devices. Problem is, I'd like to also have this app on my macbook but when i looked it up on the mac app store, its not available to download for free (because the price tag is displayed) so my question is, is this normal because I was udner the impression that once you buy an app, its available for download on all your devices provided I use a singular apple id.
Any clarification is very much appreciated. Thanks

You've been given a false impression.
The iOS devices and the Macs run on two different operating systems. Most developers who develop an app for both operating systems usually charge separately for the apps. An app that you buy for an iOS device, can be downloaded and installed for free on any other iOS device that you own. Any app that you buy for your Mac, can be downloaded and installed for free on any other Mac you may own or have in your control, such as a Mac issued to you by a school or your employer.

I have paid for the additional games in my first iPad, when I download it again from purchased history, and execute it, it prompt me a request payment dialog. The truth is, I have paid it previously? Is it a normal for this kind off apps which is lite (free), and paid for upgrade would not have the previlage for second device?
Hi John,
I agree with you, I downloaded it using the same apple id, and it is free even though for the first time downloading. We need to pay when we wanted to buy additional game/flash cards, but for my ipad2, when i select the one I have been purchased before for the additional cards, it prompt request payment... I am doubtful whether it will charge or not.....

I bought a season pass, but iTunes says I still have to pay for a specific episode
I purchased the season pass for Big Bang Theory, Season 7 a while ago, and up until now, I haven't had any issues. However, when I went to download the latest episode that came out last night, it only has the option to purchase the episode. I tryed going through the purchases menu in the store, and every episode except this one came up as already bought. I cannot use iCloud download either.
First go to your iTunes menu, STORE, login with your AppleID (if you have not done so), then Authorise your computer under the same STORE menu
Now , go to iTunes store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the top right window. Go through all the tabs to download again for free. -
If I have already paid for Lightroom 5 do I need to pay for it again? I bought the program outright.
I paid around $100 for Lightroom 5. If I pay the $10/Month for Photoshop and Lightroom 5 do I loose the ability to use Lightroom 5 if I decide to cancel my membership?

I purchased Words with Friends on my iPad. I then purchased an iPhone, however, this app is not showing up under "purchased". How can I download to iPhone without paying for it again?
Which version did you buy on your iPad ? If you bought the HD version then that is only compatible with the iPad, so you will need to buy the iPhone/Pod version (or download the free version) if you want to use it on your iPhone.

i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?
If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

If I have purchased an app on my iphone. can i download the app to use on my macbook pro without paying for it again?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iOS apps are different than Mac apps, so you can't use a iOS app on a Mac. You have to purchase that app in the Mac App Store in order to use it with the Mac. They are different operating systems and require different apps -
I purchased a game on my ipod touch. I restored the device to factory settings last night and when I synced all the apps back, the game is now in the demo version. How do I unlock it ? I hope I don't need to pay for the full version again.
PES 2012 is no longer available in the US App Store and only on the British App Store currently.

That (an app no longer available) happens sometimes.
Your only way is if you have the appt on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case move it to your iTunes library and sync. -
I bought a song on itunes a while ago and I couldn’t back up my ipod because I needed more storage. Once my ipod was updated, ALL of my memory was deleted (since it wasn’t backed up) and I couldn't get my song back without paying for it again. Is there a way to retrieve it without paying for the second time?
Just follow these instructions:

I want to download an app on to my mac that is on my iPod but it ask to pay for it again. What do i do so I can get it without paying again?
If what you previously bought is an iOS application, ensure that you’re signed into the iTunes Store with the Apple ID you used to buy it, or sync the device with an iTunes library which contains it.
If what you previously bought is a Mac OS X application, you can’t. The developer needs to create the two versions separately and may choose to charge for both.

I have ordered 2 Playbooks. Do I need to pay for 2 apps for the same one?
So will I need to pay for one app on one tablet and pay for the same app on the other tablet as the tablets are mine and my sons. sorry I'm new to this.
thanks in advance.What are you talking about? It's a 3rd party App. Apple is not going to include ANY 3rd party app on an iPhone. If you don't think you should have to pay for it, talk to the developer. I'm sure they'd love to know that you don't think you should pay them for their work.
