Had to replace defective iPhone, do I have to buy apps again?
Had to replace defective iPhone, do I have to buy apps again? Will they sync from iTunes with different iPhone?
yes - they are tied to your apple id not a specific iphone - also you can always download apps that you have already purchased from the itunes store without being charged again - there is also a purchase history on the itunes stores where you can download them from for free
i dont believe this is true for things like music or other media on itunes

There are many apps I purchased for my android phone that are exactly the same for the iPhone, do I have to buy these again or would the license transfer?
Yes you need to buy them again. Apps written for one device will not run on the other.

How can I switch my primary apple ID and not have to buy apps again?
I would like to switch my primary ID to another one because I don't have access to that email address anymore. I have few apps which I bought under that ID which I'd like to keep if possible. Furthermore, I'd like to use the original apple ID for my icloud account and use the new ID for the same device for itunes store. Is this possible? Thanks.
This may help.

After restoring ipod due to a forgotten passcode, do you really have to buy apps again?
My 9 year old daughter locked herself out of her Ipod touch by setting a passcode she cant remember. If I restore the ipod, does she really have to re-purchase the apps?
No. Just redownload them. See:

I recently had to replace my iphone 4s and i lost all of my picture that was stored in photo stream how can I retreive them?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Any photos in photostream in the cloud will be returned to the new device when you log into your account and enable photostream, the photos in photostream in the cloud may not mirror the photos in the photostream album on your old phone.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device. -
I just had to replace my iphone because i lost my first one, when i sinced with itunes it is outdated by a full year. every thing since 6/25/10 messages contact phone history etc is not there. how do i get it current, all updates etc where done on lost one???

it backs up every time you connect? correct?
Not if automatic syncing on connection is disabled in iTunes preferences. Then the phone backs up only when manually syncing or manual backup. Check this pref setting:
iTunes Prefs > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. It that is selected, you have to manually sync or backup.
In that section you should see a list of all iPhone backup stored by device. What is the latest one showing? -
I bought a 16gb iphone 5 about 3 months ago and got applecare. yesterday I had to get on a different plan within the same company so i traded in my phone and got a new 32gb iphone 5. can i transfer my applecare to this new phone or would I have to buy it again?
As this is a WW forum with different AppleCrare offerings you need to specify which Country
as in North America has AppleCare+ and everywhere else AppleCare ,very different products
So to avoid incorrect guidance suggest you specify Country -

You can redownload your iTunes store purchases, but you'll need a backup to recover the playlists.

Hi All,
I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?

ClareAll of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again. -

I had Iphoto on my computer when i bought it and now had to reinstall a new hard drive do i have to buy it again?
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

I've had to open itunes on a new computer as my last one died and i didn't have backup. but i've noticed many of my purchased songs have not come back to my itunes to download, which means i have to buy them again. Can anyone help me? Most of my purchased music was there ready to load, but about ten weren't. thanks.
Were they originally bought with a different Apple ID?

Hi, i bought numbers for my mac air in august. do i have to buy it again for my iPhone 5?
hi, i bought inumbers for my mac air in august. do i have to buy it again for my iPhone 5?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
There are two differents Numbers versions: Numbers for OS X, and Numbers for iOS.
For your Mac, you purchased Numbers for OS X, so now you can install Numbers on all your Macs as many times as you need for free. However, the iPhone 5 uses Numbers for iOS, so you have to purchase Numbers for iOS in order to get this app onto the phone
