Cloud shows in itunes when downloading app again

Hello, i have an app that wont start. I deleted it off my phone, and tried to remove it in itunes also, but when i go to download the app again, it shows a cloud for the link to download, instead of the usual "install". So im assuming i keep downloading the one on the cloud and not a brand new fresh copy of the app, because after multiple deletes of the app, it still doesnt work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

iCloud doesn't back up your apps.  That cloud symbol simply shows that it is available for re-download from the App Store.  It's always a fresh copy of the app directly from the App Store when you install it that way.  The only time you get an 'old' version of the app is when you're syncing from your iTunes library on your computer.

    :-) the problem is solved. Thanks to a great typ in one of the other discussions with alt+cmd+S iTunes looks again like something I recognize. After removing the iPod from iMac and also from the connecting "holder", turning it on ad off, rebooting the iMac, maggic happens and the iPod now shows in iTunes and everything works just fine.

  • Apple ID has been verified but getting ID/password error when downloading app

    Apple ID has been verified on Apple ID site - but getting ID/password error when downloading app.

    Hi Wantedhelp,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  If you are having trouble logging in to the App store on your iPad, I would first suggest you restart the device.
    Then go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click “Manage your Apple ID,” and try to sign in with your Apple ID. If you are unable to sign in, follow the steps provided there to reset your Apple ID account password.
    Then in the iTunes & App Store settings, sign out of your account, sign back in and try to purchase or redownload the app again.

  • My brother reset my ipod, so when downloading everything again I got charged, is  this supposed to happen?

    my brother reset my ipod touch 4th gen, so when downloading everything again I got charged, is  this supposed to happen?

    You don't get to download music again for free.
    Unless you are in the U.S. then you can use the beta version of the cloud.
    What exactly has happened?

  • I want to download an app, but whenever I click on it, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! What to do?

    I want to download apps, but whenever I click download, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! How do I fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • My iPad has stopped asking for my apple I'd password when downloading apps.  I want it to ask for password because my kids keep downloading apps without asking.  How do I rectify this?

    My apple I'd has stopped asking for my password when downloading apps to my iPad.  I want it to ask every time.  I edited it unknowingly and I need to change it back.  Please help! Thx

    Assuming that you've got the relevant iOS version on the iPad, then you can change it from a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need to be re-entered to immediately via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing

    Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes, when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing on the Samsung tv which takes forever too watch.
    Hope someone can advise if I am doing something wrong.
    My laptop is directly under the tv however my modum is in another room so it is operating through Wifi.
    Thank you

    Restart all devices and the router to see if it helps.  May or may not.
    If you Purchased in iTunes on the laptop ensure you are playing back on AppleTV via the Computers icon not under the main TV Shows icon which will reload from the web.
    I would move the laptop away from the TV in case it's causing interference to teh wifi though clearly an AppleTv might have the same issue but is designed to sit next to the TV.
    If you were playing via Computers and it's still slow you could connect an ethernet cable between AppleTv and laptop, keep wifi on the laptop for internet via the router, and enable intrenet sharing over ethernet in System Preferences > Sharing so AppleTV can do an internet authorisation.  Hopefully restarting iTunes/router will just do the trick though.
    Do you have any non-Apple security software eg NetBarrier, if so try disabling to see if it was detecting AppleTV as an intrusion threat due to multiple connection attempts.

    My phone was doing that when I first got it, but try reseting it & see what happens. Maybe you dont have enough signal when downloading the apps.
