Can in-app purchase be transfered to other devices?

I unlocked an apps puzzle on our iphone but the puzzles are still locked on the ipod touch?  When you purchase in-app unlocks is it for that device only or can you transfer the purchases to other devices?

It depends on the type of in-app purchase involved. If it is a non-replenishable item such as a bonus level pack it should be possible to apply the purchase to all your devices, and reapply it after restoring a device. They are not transferred or restored automatically, but if you attempt to make the in-app purchase of the same item you should find the content is restored for free.

  • In app purchase not transferring to other IOS devices

    Hi all,
    I did an in app purchase for 15 kid songs for my daughter from my iPhone 4s. The app itself transferred to my other 2 iPads but the in app purchase of the 15 songs did not transfer. Are there any suggestions to rocky if this
    Thanx for any input.

    Hello sthomp31
    Check to make sure that the In-App purchase can be downloaded again. The article below will assist you further. If you can still download it and not able to, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • In app purchases when transferring to a new device?

    Here is my situation.  My sons ipod touch is cracked so I want to transfer his data to my old iPhone 4.  My hope is that I will be able to transfer all of his apps and his in app purchases over to the new device.  So far I have backed up the old Ipod touch and then resored it to the iPhone.  So far so good but the in app purchases have not transfered.   Is there something I have missed? I just want to easily clone the one device to another.
    any direction would be very welcome
    Thanks

    Did you follow these instructions?
    iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    If you restore from iTunes backup all the apps have to be in the iTunes library in order for the apps date (includes in-app purchases) to go.

    Can anyone help. I-app purchases are restricted on this device
    Can't buy anything in the App Store  what can I do 

    You need to tell whoever restricted them to enable them under Settings->General->Restrictions. 
    You will have to provide the Restrictions Password that was set when it was activated.

  • HT5188 Can in-app purchases be made using the volume purchase program?

    Can in-app purchases be made using the volume purchase program? I'm an authorized facilitator and able to redeem using VPP in iTunes but want several in-app purchases that are not available outside of the app. Is this possible for the program manager to allow?

    Found an answer!
    At http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html, I found the following:
    Are all apps in the App Store eligible to be purchased in the Volume Purchase Program Education Store?
    All paid iOS apps are available through the Volume Purchase Program. This does not include in-app purchases.

  • If my PC has a virus, can it be transferred to other devices via icloud during synchronisation?

    After I created an iCloud account, and during the first synchronisation (ie when the Calendar, Contacts etc are converted to iCloud), my security software alerted me to the presence on my PC of the Win32/Claratore virus. Is it possible for this virus to be transferred to other devices when they are synchronised via iCloud?

    - I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
    - Try resetting the iPods. nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?
    Other apps?

  • HT201272 I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

    Title says it all...
    I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

    Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • If I put pictures on my IMac. Can photo stream send them to my other devices.

    If I put pictures on my iMac can photo stream send them to my other devices?

    Of course. However, note that you need iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 on your iMac, and that the other devices must be an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iCloud, another Mac with iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 and OS X 10.7.2 or later, or a PC with iCloud Control Panel.
    The first thing you have to do is to upload your photos to Photo Stream, but first you need to enable Photo Stream > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2710
    Then, to add photos to Photo Stream, open iPhoto and drag the photos you want to "iCloud" or "Photo Stream" in the iPhoto or Aperture sidebar. This will make that your photos appear on other devices, so just go to them and copy them to the internal memory, because Photo Stream deletes your photos after 30 days. If you have got an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can find your photos in the Photos application, and in a PC, you can find them in My Pictures folder.

  • In app purchase not transferring

    Hi,
    If I do an in App pruchase on my iPhone, will that purchase be accessable on say my iPad too without purchasing it again?
    Thanks,

    I actually just found this on Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4009
    Subscriptions and replenishable In-App Purchase cannot be transferred or synced to another iOS device. Non-replenishable In-App Purchases  and auto-renewing subscriptions can be transferred to another iOS device authorized with your iTunes Store account. For example, if you transfer a game from an iPhone to an iPod touch, only the game levels will sync over, the extra ammo and experience points will not be transferred.
    Wanted to use the PS Express camara bundle (noise filter) on both iPad &amp; iPhone. But at $4.99 for each device, no way.

  • Should in app purchases be transferred to new phone?

    I had a 3GS and now iPhone 4, on the 3GS I had the Navigon gps app which I also bought the in app extras (traffic and panoramic view) but I noticed those extras didn't transferred to the new phone, the app wants we to buy the traffic and panoramic options again.

    I've never done in app purchases, but I can assume that perhaps they are like just extra data the app allows you to buy and thus gets put in with other data files the app uses (eg: no new icon on home screens).
    Thus when you sync and backup it is part of the app data that gets backed up.
    If you didn't restore your new phone from your backup of your old phone then you didn't get your app data. If you just synced you just installed the apps not the data.

  • HT4009 One of my apps won't allow me to make an in-app purchase but all my other apps will

    I have several apps that I purchase in-app items from (extra lives, coins, etc...) I have one app that will only sporadically allow me to make in-app purchases. When it denies my request an error message appears advising me to contact the iTunes support store to complete the purchase. But 5 minutes later I can successfully make an in-app purchase on a different app so I know there is no issue with my payment method. How can I fix this problem?

  • I can't play music purchased from iTunes on other devices

    I purchased some songs via iTunes store today. I then copied them to my daughter's music player (a Mattel product) only, but they won't play. They show up on the device's folder when connected to my computer, but they don't show up or play on the device.
    I know they can only be transferred to three devices, but this is the first device for these songs
    Does iTunes block their songs from being played on non-Apple products?
    The Mattel Product is the Kids MP3 Boombox, Model # 1636110

    Not for recent purchases, but the songs may need to be converted to MP3 to work on non-Apple devices.
