Do I need to purchase the apps on each of my devices?

I recently purchased Pages on my Macbook and I am looking at purchasing Numbers, however, I am curious as to if I need to purchase the app once on my Mac and once on my iPad, or if one purchase covers my account completely.

Yes. They use different Platforms.
Mac = OS X
iPad = iOS

  • HT4009 I purchased the postcode search for Navigon, but now it just keeps telling me: "You can't purchase This item With This Account, You must purchase the app that this item is for before you can purchase the item". I PURCHASED NAVIGON 2 YEARS AGO!

    As said, I already purchased Navigon when it first came out. Since Garmin took over this app is worthless. Not only have I lost all my settings, but none of my in-App purchases work and I can't even enable them because my iPhone tells me I need to purchase the App.
    I've already tried the following:
    Shutting down the App and restarting
    Rebooting my phone (hard and soft)
    Deleting and Reinstalling the app
    Resetting my iPhone
    purchasing the InApp Purchase
    I'm at a loss what to do and for some reason I can't seem to find anywhere to get support on this from the itunes store.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    No, I had a similar issue before, but from looking on iTunes reviews, I'm not the only one experiencing this.
    I was hoping someone on here would have had similar experience and have some advice on what to do next.

    Hello Dylanshopes,
    It sounds like you would like to use different payment info than what is currently associated with your account. This article will help you change that information named:

  • Will my DVD installed iWork 09 update or do I need to purchase the new apps

    I have installed on my Mac mini iwork 09 (from a DVD) will I need to purchase the new iWork apps or will they update for free?

    I had the same problem and got it working. Here's what I did:
    Moved the iWork '09 folder from Applications to the trash (didn't empty it though )
    Sign out of the App Store and quit.
    Open the App Store and sign in again.
    Move the iWork '09 folder back to Applications.
    Clicked on Updates in the App Store, and refreshed the page.
    The three apps showed up with an Upgrade button instead of the price/buy app button. Had to re-enter my account ID and password to associate the apps with my account. After all that (and a couple hours before ), the apps started appearing in the App Store on my other computers.

  • I need to upload into configurator an app I got when it was free, however I can't PURCHASE the app as it thinks I already have it in my VPP account.

    I need to upload into configurator an app I got when it was free, however I can't PURCHASE the app as it thinks I already have it in my VPP account. I am using TWO MacBooks and TWO configurator profiles - one on each MacBook, BUT one school VPP apple ID in iTunes. I downloaded this app when it was free and put it into ONE configurator account, but I now want to put it into the other account on the other MacBook. I understand I need to pay for the app and get codes, however as it is already downloaded into my VPP iTunes, it comes up as downloaded and I don't know how to redeem codes or pay for it? Please advise. Thank you.

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

  • HT3702 I am unable to add my bank/card details in my apple account, every time i am getting a message that it has been declined. kindly help me in authorise my bank card in my apple account i need to purchase few apps, pls help me

    Hi,
    I am unable to add my bank/card details in my apple account, every time i am getting a message that it has been declined. kindly help me in authorise my bank card in my apple account i need to purchase few apps, pls help me

    What sort of card are you trying to use ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

  • I need to purchase an app. Can I delete my card details straight after.

    I need to purchase an app for my grandson. Can I delete my card details as soon as I have purchased the app.

    If I were you, I'd buy an itunes / app store card.
    Morrisons, Sainsbury, most electrical stores, WHSmiths etc sell them.
    I think you can get them in £5 intervals

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • I have a used macbook pro and i cant update the apps bought on the first owners account and i need to update the apps

    hi i hav a used macbook pro running mverics and i cant update the apps that were purchased by the preveous owner on a different itunes acount and i need to update the apps thanks

    It appears as if the OS currently on that machine was not the original OS? If so, you are running into this problem because the seller did not do what he was supposed to do - he was supposed to erase the hard drive and reinstall the original OS. And, if he got either the OS or any apps at the app store, they are not transferable as they are tied to his Apple ID forever. That is why you will have to pay for them using your own Apple ID. And, if he obtained the current OS at the app store, you may also run into another problem: you may not be able to reinstall the OS if needed as that is tied to the original Apple ID as well.

  • I purchased a Slingbox HD and purchased the app for my iPad 2. I am wondering if I can load the app on my old iPad?

    I purchased a Slingbox HD and purchased the app for my iPad 2. I am wondering if I can load the app on my old iPad without having to pay $30 again?

    Where did you download the app from?
    I can't find it at the iTunes app store. If you downloaded the app directly from the app developer's site, you need to contact them.

  • I bought an iphone 4s from someone and i dont know password of his Apple ID and i need to update the apps on my new iphone i need a solution please

    i bought an iphone 4s from someone and i dont know password of his Apple ID and i need to update the apps on my new iphone i need a solution please

    The only solution is to erase the apps and purchase them through your own iTunes Store account. You have no legal right to those apps - the license is not tranferrable - and cannot in any case update them without the orginal purchaser's Apple ID.
