Downloaded app for free, pay to re-install when not?

I downloaded a good number of apps while they were free and recently had to restore my phone, erasing all of my apps. Now they are full price. Do I have to pay the full price to download them again if I downloaded them for free?

All your Apps should be in your iTunes Library on your computer, either because you download Apps in iTunes, or because you've used the "File > Transfer puchases" option in iTunes to transfer Apps downloaded on the phone.

  • Can i download apps for free?

    can i download for free?

    If you've previously downloaded an application from the iTunes App Store or its creator has decided to make it available for free, it's free.

  • I can not download Apps for free, ask me payment method.

    Hello, I have bought and I downloaded Apps Free Apps. But now when I want to download free Apps, asking me to fill in my credit card details.
    Why?

    Maybe this will help:
    http://www.labnol.org/software/apple-id-without-credit-card/19299/
    In short:
    "When you are creating a new Apple ID for downloading U.S. specific apps, it may happen that the ‘none’ option is missing on your Payments screen (see the screenshot above). How do you then create an Apple ID without a credit card?
    Well, there are two ways to create Apple IDs inside iTunes. You can either go to Store – > Create Account or simply download an app and iTunes will prompt you to create an Apple ID. The ‘none’ option for payment will only become available if you take the latter route."
    Hope it helps.

  • I deleted my iphotos app by mistake. i was wondering if there is a way for me to download it for free instead having to pay for it again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iPhoto comes for free with every new Mac, so you don't have to pay.
    If your Mac didn't come with DVDs or it came with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Mac App Store, log in with the Apple ID you used to register the computer, go to Purchases and download iPhoto free of charge.
    If your Mac came with DVDs or you bought iLife in a DVD, insert the DVD and reinstall iPhoto. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

  • Can I download What's App for free?

    Can I download What's App for Free in IPod Touch?

    You can download it on your computer. However, about two years ago the developer updated the app and the updated app is only  compatible with iPhones. Thus, it will not install on an iPod (or iPad).

  • HT201272 why i was charged again to download app i did pay for it already before?

    why i was charged again to download app i did pay for it already before, this heppend with the delete contact app, i did pay for it few month ago , and did try to download it again it charged me again!

    Maybe you went back to the store and repurhcased it. To downlaod past purhcases for free, you need to use your purhcase history.

  • I can't download an app for free even though I bought the app on another device.

    I downloaded an app on my iPad 1 a few years ago and recently I bought an iPad mini, but the problem is I can't download the app for free! Even though I logged in the same account app store tells me to buy the app. What do I have to do so that I don't have to pay twice for a same app?

    If you are using the Purchased tab where your purchases are listed to re-download it then you shouldn't be charged. If you are being asked to enter your credit card details when trying to download it via that tab then that will be for account verfication purposes - you are currently in the country where your account is based ?

  • When you get the new iPhone 5S they say it come with al the iWork apps for free install already. But if i restore from back-up from an old device which doesnt have any iWork apps would I still receive those iWork Apps?

    Hey Davin12,
    Yes. The apps are not pre-installed, but rather you are prompted to download them the first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7:
    About Free Apple Apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913
    iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated or purchased after September 1, 2013
    The first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7 on your qualifying new or factory refurbished iOS device, you will be offered iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for free in addition to other free software from Apple. When you tap Download All and sign in with your Apple ID, the apps will be downloaded to your device and added to your store account. If you tap Not Now when you see the offer, you can go back to each of the apps in the store and download them one at a time for free.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Have a iPhone 5s and can't Download iwork apps for free

    I bought my iPhone 5s since 1 year (after september). There i get the iWork apps for free. But now they cost money.
    Some Information :
    Now I´m on iOS8
    I have changed one time my email-adress
    My iPhone 5s is registered on my apple id
    I hope you can help me, because i have tried so much...

    I had the same problem on my iPad Air: i deleteded the apps before IOS8, then after the upgrade iWork was not on the cloud for free anymore. Thanks to your question I remembered I changed my appleID after the download of iWork. So I had to login with my previous appleID on the appstore and i could download them again for free. Maybe it works the same for you (but I'm not sure since you say your iPhone it's registered on your appleID). Give it a try.

  • Can I still download iwork apps for free with a new apple id?

    I bought a new ipad,iphone and mac. all activated for the first time with the same apple id. i can download all iwork apps for free at that time because the devices were bought after iwork is free for "new" devices. later on i'm thinking of creating a new apple id, can i still download iwork apps for free with the new apple id on all my 3 devices?

    Once they've been downloaded they can't be downloaded again using a different Apple ID.

    Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto and iMovie are free only with new devices, a refurb does not count.
