    I have no idea as to why. Another option would be to connect to iTunes and select all of your purchased apps and drag them to the iPad.
    While you are connected to iTunes, you might also try right clicking on the name of your iPad where it appears under the "DEVICES" section in iTunes, and then clicking on Restore from Backup. Any data between the backup and now would be lost, but reloading from an earlier point where the problem did not exist may fix the issue. As a last resort, you could repeat the process but set it up as a new iPad. Once you sign into the store, the purchased tab should be there.

    How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

    It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear in the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. If your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do it via your computer's iTunes.

  • How To Delete A Old App From The Purchased Tab In Your App Store On You Apple Device.

    Hi , i Need Help On Finding The Way To Delete An Old App Record Out Of Your iTunes Dowload Log Which Is Located In The App Store.  I Know You used To Be Able To Delete The Record that You Downloaded The App, But If Forgot How. Does Any One Remember How To ?
    You Used To BeAble To Click On Purchased , & This Would Pop Up ,
    & This Would Pop Up & From This Page , You Would Be Able To Click On the App & Delete It From There . But i Cant Anymore !
    Does Anyone Know How To ?

    You can't permanently delete any items, bu you can hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab via you computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    I haven't tried it for a couple of weeks, but with iOS 7 after hiding an app on my computer's iTunes I was needing to log out of my account on my device by tapping on my id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in for it to then become hidden in the Purchased tab

  • HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

    Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab.  I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't.  Where are all my purchases?  I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices.  Help!  I really don't want to buy them all again.

    The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

  • TS4057 dating or showing up uMotion 5 and Final Cut X aren't updating or showing up under the 'Purchased' Tab. What do I do?

    Motion 5 and Final Cut X aren't updating or showing up under the 'Purchased' Tab. What do I do?
    I am running OS X Mountain Lion on a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mid 2010 model.
    Thanks.

    Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
    This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
    I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
    It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
    I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again.

  • TS3297 Icons in the purchase tab became invisible

    I'm using.the new iPad and thus the lastest system software. Suddenly all icons in the purchase tab in App Store became invisible. I can still click them if I touch a right point and I can grab apps if I use find and then the details are opened in a proper manner, however I can no longer see the whole list of my purchases. Tried many times but no luck. Any help will be extremely appriciated.
    PS. I'm not using iTunes on my PC at all.

    System Preferences > Dock.  Change the size slider
    If you want to remove items from the Dock, then drag them off until you see the puff of smoke attached to the icon. Let the icon go. This will not delete the application from the computer, just remove it from the Dock. Applications will still be available in your Applications folder.

  • I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone

    I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone from the purchases tab.

    It's still accessible. All you've really done is hidden the app. To restore it to the list, go to "Featured" in the Mac Store menu bar and then click "Account" in the side bar on the right, under "Quick Links". The Account Information page will have three sections. The middle section is "iTunes in the Cloud." In that section, you will see "Hidden Purchases: You have hidden X items" and to the right of that bit of text, you will see a clickable link labeled "View Hidden Purchases". Go ahead and click that link. Any apps that you have hidden, deliberately or otherwise, will be listed there. To unhide an app, click the "Unhide button" to the far right of the app's name.
    Yea, it can be disconcerting to see an app disappear unintentionally. Apple might want to consider a menu button for viewing hidden purchases.

  • I upgraded to iOS 5 and everything deleted. I went to iTunes, went to the Purchased tab, and got all my music back. But not my movies.

    I upgraded to iOS 5 and all the music had gone. But when I went on to iTunes, onto the 'Purchased' tab, I got all the music back from iCloud. But my movie wasn't listed. It was 'Paul' and it cost £10. When I look it up on iTunes, if I want it back it says I have to pay £10 again!!!! I am currently talking to Apple Live Chat Support and she is saying to write this up. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is correct.
    You only get one download of movies.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    Did you fail to transfer your movie to your computer before updating?

  • Cannot see the "purchased tab" in iTunes app

    A week ago, my iPhone 4 was accidently removed and deleted from my iCloud account, which means all the content was removed from it. And ofcourse i was not prepared, but i was stupid enough to not backup my music and all that stuff. And my music was gone. Then i found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 , where it's described how to locate and redownload your music from iTunes. But this tab is not showing up anywhere on my iPhone. And neither on my iPad (3rd gen). Any suggestion? :-)
    Btw my iPhone 4 is running iOS 5.1.1

    Try this from iTunes on a computer
    Make sure itunes is up to date, click Help > Check for update if you are on windows.
    When you click on iTunes Store in iTunes, and the store pulls up, make sure you are signed in to the itunes store (Should see your appleid or "Sign IN" at the top right of the store)
    once you are signed in, the purchased tab is listed on the right with a big blue "NEW" bubble next to it
    use that to download any missing content to your computer, and then sync it to the phone
    if you do not see the purchased tab on the phone then you are not up to date with your os software, or you are looking in the wrong place

  • Unable to redownload an app from the Purchases tab - button not working

    Hi!
    I've emailed apple support but they weren't much help - a while ago the option to update Acorn 4 appeared under Updates (along with some other apps, which updated fine) - when I tried to update Acorn, I got an error message.
    I talked to Flying Meat software on twitter, and they said I should completely remove the app (which I did, using AppCleaner) - and now it's appearing at the top of the Purchases tab, but the button to install it has no text on it, and doesn't do anything when I click it.
    Any ideas?

    This service is ONLY available in beta version in the U.S.
    "You could try going to the tab "store" then scroll down to "check for available downloads. I hope this helps!"
    This will not work.

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.
