How can I redownload an app I bought?

I bought the latest version of Growl on the App store, then later forgot I already had it and used the Growl uninstaller to remove it, thinking to buy the latest version...duh. Now on the app store it says it is already installed and I can't seem to find a way of re-downloading it to reinstall it. The app store is a pain this way. Are downloaded apps kept somewhere locally after purchase? This would help when reinstalling is needed. I always keep a copy of a new/updated app in a folder in case of need, but haven't figured out where apple puts this on the OS, assuming it does...

For re downloading Lion >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
so I can make an image to boot the MacBook to reinstall the Lion.

I was having privledge issues and could not get the Mac Book iTunes to work.
Are you referring to your Apple ID / iTunes account?

    If you bought/paid for them in the Mac App Store, you would just need to sign in to the MAS with the Apple ID you used to purchase them, go to purchases, and click install.
    As for the limited licensing that Bordy brought up, the TOS for the MAS states:
    "Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use."
    If you installed them from an iWork disc, just pop the disc back in and reinstall.

  • How can I redownload music I previously bought?

    I have a number of tracks that I have purchased through my account on itunes. Recently, I lost everything on my computer, which of course includes my music. (I have it backed up on my ipod which is set up to act as storage as well, but it's been lost for months which obviously *****.) I don't know if it's the new itunes format, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to redownload my music! When I'm in my account on itunes, it says I have one item that is ready to be downloaded, but I've never heard of it before in my life!
    Any help on this matter would be awesome.

  • How can I reload some apps I bought from App Store

    I am experiencing some problems with Ipad2. I accidentally deleted some apps. I have tried to re download them but the system is very very slow.
    Can anyone help please?

    There is nothing else that you can do other than to download them again. Try using another WiFi network that has a faster connection speed. If you were syncing with iTunes and the apps are in iTunes, sync them back to the iPad. However, if you were using iTunes and syncing your iPad, you would and should know that already.

    Hi everyone,
    I downloaded several apps from Ovi store, but since upgrading my phone's firmware (at Nokia's request) I have lost my purchases, and can't redownload them. Does anyone know how I can access them again?
    I tried contacting Nokia support via their UK website, and initally got a very friendly response, but as my request was bounced between several departments emails became less frequent, and eventually the correspondence stopped. Furthermore, my requests for updates on their progress have been repeatedly ignored.
    That was nearly three months ago.
    I provided all the account, purchase, and technical details Nokia asked for within a few hours of Ovi support requesting them, but have had nothing in return. Does anyone know how I can get support to listen to me? If anyone from Nokia reads is reading this, could you please process my request? Or at least give me an update?
    I'm normally a huge fan of Nokia's products, but unfortunately have to report that their "support" is amongst the worst I have ever encountered.
    For the record, the apps I purchased were Tetris, Bejeweled and Best Timer.
    Regards,
    Andrew
    Hello FluidDruid,
    I have sent links to download your purchased applications Bejeweled, Tetris and Best Timer to your device. Please send me a pm if you need anything else.
    Thank you,

    Thanks!
    It's a shame that it took a post on a discussion board to get this resolved, when going through the correct channels failed, but everything is working now, so that's the main thing.

  • TS1702 How can I return the app that I bought for my iPhone4S almost three months ago.

    How can I return the app I bought almost 3 months ago? Is this to late to return??

    Apps are not returnable. They're also very difficult to wrap.

  • How can I redownload music I bought on my iphone?

    How can i redownload music I allready purchased on my iphone?
    Is there a way to see a list of music I have allready bought and then redownload it?

    What types of content that you can re-download depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it's still in the store) .
    What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    What you can re-download will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone (and the App Store and ibookstore in the iBooks app), and on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store home page.
    If you can't re-download it then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

  • I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first, So im trying to redownload the music and ringtones i've bought off of itunes. I found under purchased my songs how can i redownload all the ringtones i bought off itunes?

    I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first so im trying to redownload all of the songs and ringtones i purchased i found my songs but how can i redownload all the ringtones i have already purchased.

    Apps can be re-downloaded for free (instrutions here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Media (musiv, films, tv, tv shows) can only be downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backups of your content, especially purchased content. You can try contacting Apple via the Lost or Missing Items under the Music Purchases tab on this page http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/ - but Apple are under no obligation to let you re-download any content (and if they do it may be on a one-off basis, and you might not be able to do so again in the future)

    I bought an app for my macbook pro. How can I share that app, which is ipad compatible, to my iPad.

    You should check with the software publisher. Although you will need a separate iPad version of the program, some publishers make the iPad version cheap or even free, knowing that you have to buy the Mac or PC version to get the most out of the iPad version.

  • How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad

    How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad

    Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with your id. But if there is any content on the iPad from his account then you are probably better off resetting back to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings and starting 'as new' with it - content is tied to the id that bought/downloaded it so your account won't be able to download updates to any of his apps, and unless his account is authorised on your computer's iTunes and his content is on there then it will be deleted when you sync to it.

  • TS1702 Just bought  iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one game. How can I get the app on this iPad? It does not even show up in purchased apps.

    Just bought an iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one. The app does not appear in my purchased apps. How can I move this app over?

    Some apps do indeed come off the market.  The vendor stops selling or supporting them for whatever reason.
    That is likely what happened.
    See if the app is still in the App Store.  If so, you can download it.  If not, it is gone.
