Can previously purchased apps be downloaded for free to another apple computer?
Essentially, I'm thinking of purchasing an app called HyperDock. I want to know if I do so, will I be able to install the app on my MacBook Pro, AND my iMac? Or will I have to pay for a second installation of the app?
You are allowed to purchase all App Store items on up to 5 devices you own. So yes, you will be able to download the app you purchase to both the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
Where this falls down at times is if you purchase an app for an iPad, and the same app is available for a Mac model, such as the iMac. These devices use completely different hardware. Even the OS is different. So the vendor has to write the app from scratch twice. Sometimes they will allow you to get both versions for one price, but usually, you have to purchase them separately.

I cannot install a previously purchased app without paying for it again. I am using the same apple ID. I cannot figure out why the system is requesting me to pay for this app a second time.

Can't download previously purchased music to new iPad "Associated with another Apple ID"
Hi There,
I have a brand new iPad Air and can see my previous purchases in the Music app. But when I try to download (by clicking the download/cloud icon) I get a confusing error:
"This device is already associated with an Apple ID".
The thing is, this is a brand new device - how could it be associated with another Apple ID?
The only other Apple ID on the device is the one used for iCloud - could this be confusing things?
Does anyone know how to get music onto the device?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
BenThanks Amish,
Dang it, I accidently marked your question as the answer from the email notifcation and can't change it.
I purchased it from Apple and have been in contact with them for over a week. Unfortuantely, they insist I'm logged in using differnt accounts despite me sending screen shots to the contrary.
I'm posting here becauase I'm getting nowhere with Apple - it's like they're stonewalling or the person I'm dealing with (Russ) is assuming I'm an idiot.
I've been using Apple products for 25 years, look after an OSX server (have also maintained a Microsoft SBS server) so am quite familiar with computers and user accounts.
But this situation has me stmped - both in terms of why it doesn't work, and why I can't get Russ to understand that I'm not logged in using a different Apple ID.
He keeps senindg me links to iTunes terms and conditions - I can't listen to music purchased from Apple on my Apple dvices also purchased from Apple. How can iTunes Ts & Cs justify that?
I've decided to a go a differnt route and report a problem via iTunes and see if I get a more helpful support guy. -

Can I purchase iPad apps from my Apple account via an internet cafe computer, transfer them to a stick to move onto my Mac which is in a non-internet location? Is so please let me know how.
FESrThe list of ports and servers is available here. Anything beyond that would depend on what you're trying to purchase and would probably require information not publicly available.

I can't get apps to download for iCloud?
The circle spins but then the iCloud icon comes back and nothing downloads. How do I fix this?
Sign out of itunes and app store, restart iphone, then sign in and make sure you have enough space on the phone. Do not try to download more then one the first time. Do not try to download more then three at once ever.

HT201272 Attempting to "update"/reinstall previously purchased apps
In attempting to "update"/reinstall many of my previously purchased apps, a "download" feature does not appear, only an "open." I am only be able to access them via the iTunes/App store - I can open them, but not reinstall them. Am I doing something wrong? (I have a 4s, which was just updated to 6.)
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps.
In order to install an app update with the iTunes account that was used to download the apps, you must use that iTunes account and password. -

I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?
The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again. -

Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.
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. -
