How can I see what apps I've purchased on iPhone

I tried to buy an app on my iPhone. It says I am accessing the App Store on a "new device." This phone is pretty old (iphone 4) and I've downloaded tons of apps on it so this is making me a little nervous.  But maybe I've never paid for any apps on my iPhone--I can't remember for sure, but I thought I had.  If I haven't paid for any apps before, would this make it show up as a "new device" in the app store?
Is there someplace I can go to see the history of what apps I've paid for in the iPhone App Store?  (I tried going to my Mac Apps account, but it only lists apps I've purchased for my laptop.)
The reason I'm being so cautious is that at one point I accidentally created a second Apple ID and it was complicated getting that sorted out. I don't want to go through that again.  So when I'm prompted to do things that don't seem logical, I'm very hesitant to go along with it.  Thanks for any help.

It should be OK to do that, but I'm puzzled as to why it is asking you to. You haven't erased it, or changed computers?
Try this: On the phone, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores. Is the Apple ID the same as the one you viewed on your computer?

  • How can I see what apps are running on my iphone 5?

    Is there an app that will show me the apps running and also allow me to close apps that don't need to be running?

    Double tap the Home button, this brings up the Multi-Tasking bar. Any app running in the backgroud will be listed. Tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle. Tap the red minus sign to remove the app from the Multi-Tasking bar.
    Note: very few apps are actually running in the background...they must be designed to do so. Almost all apps listed will not be running, but rather in their last used state.

  • How can I see what apps are running on a non-startup disk

    I recently changed over to a larger drive from my older startup drive. I want to erase that original drive and clean it up. When I go to Disk Utility and erase it says "erase failed, could not unmount disk". I try to eject it and it says "HD is in use".
    I figure I just need to see what's running on that drive and stop it somehow, or if there is another workaround?

    If you're willing to use a command in Terminal, try this, where "old_disk" is the name of the old disk. (If the name of the old disk contains any spaces, prefix each space with a back-slash.) It will show you each file on the old disk that's open.
    sudo lsof | grep /Volumes/old_disk
    Spaces doubled for readability. The character just before "sof" is a lower-case letter "L". You'll be prompted for your administrative account's password.

  • How can I see what I'm shooting with my Iphone in realtime on my Ipad

    Hi Everyone,
    In a few days time, I need to make a short film with an iphone.
    And in order to make things easier, I would like to connect my Iphone to my Ipad, preferably via BLUETOOTH ('cause I'll be shooting on the streets where there is no WIFI and my to have my Iphone function as a camera and a WIFI hotspot doesn't seem like a really good idea).
    So basically I'm trying to figure out how to connect my Iphone and Ipad to each other via bluetooth
    which
    allows me to see what my camera is filming on my iphone in realtime (or with a little delay) on my ipad.
    The Ipad kind of has to function as a second screen/ mirror screen/ remote monitor...
    So, if anybody has any suggestions on how to fix that? Or is aware of an App that does exactly that, which is out there, than I would love to hear all about it...
    Thanks in advance !

    There is no way to do what you want to so. No such app exists and there is no way to connect the two devices via Bluetooth for the purpose that you want.

  • How can I see what apps automatically downloaded to the other iphone?

    Hello,
    I have two iphones associated with my apple ID.  One for me and one for my son.  He is with his mother half the time so to be physically next to the phone is not possible at the moment.
    I noticed on my phone that I got two apps that he downloaded.  However, I downloaded an app that I don't think he should have.  I saw in my Settings > itunes & App Stores that Automatic Downloads for Music and Apps were both set to ON.  I don't use the iCloud.  Is there a chance that my son has this app on his iphone now?
    If this matters - I am on iOS 6.0.2, iphone 5 - he is on iOS 5.1.1, iphone 4s
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the reply KiltedTIm.
    Is there a way to view what was automatically downloaded on his device?
    Is there an easy way to convert the items that were downloaded to his own ID when he gets one?  If not, can he still use the apps that were downloaded using my Apple ID?
    Thanks so much!

    You can see which devices are currently set up and/or logged in by signing in at iCloud.com on your computer.  Then click the Settings icon or select your name from the top right, then select iCloud Settings. A list of devices using your account will be displayed.

  • IPad stolen. Can I see what app data was backed up in iCloud?

    Hello,
    My ipad was stolen.
    How can I see what app data was backed up on icloud?
    Thank you
    - Jim

    Unfortuantely, you can see what's in a backup without restoring it to your device.  You also can't selectively restore just certain apps.  Also, your apps aren't really stored in your backup, only your app data is.  When you restore the backup, the app data is restored, then the apps are redownloaded from the App store, along with your other purchased media, assuming they are still available.
    What you could do is back up your iPad to your computer (connect it to your computer, open iTunes, then go to File>Devices>Back Up and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases), then erase it (Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings), restore the old backup (go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Then you could either live with the restored backup and all it contains, or erase it again and restore the iTunes backup you made earlier (connect it, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).

    1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?
    2) I am having problems with an app syncing data with pc - how can I fix that? It is mobile noter.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
    For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

  • HT204053 How can I see whats in my Icloud account

    How can I see whats in my icloud account

    You can see all of your data from within the apps on your device that are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, etc.).  You can also see some of it on icloud.com.
    To get an idea what is using your storage, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.

  • How can I see what is on my cloud?

    How can I see what is on my cloud? Also, I keep getting asked to manage storage when I am watching videos that I have bought through the store. I have bought lots of cloud space only half of which is used. Is my device too full of pictures or videos and how do I know if they are on the cloud or stored on the I tunes store where I bought them from?

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How can i see what devices are connected to my icloud?

    I want to know if pictues from my mac are on any other devices. How can i see what other devices i have connected to my icloud?

    My brother asked me for my account one day but i don't know if he used it to connect icloud or to just download an app. I just want to see if his device is connected to my icloud and if so, i want to disconnect him. So is there any site or anything i can do to see what devices are connected?

  • How can I tell what app makes up the "usage"?

    Under General Settings, you have the option to view usage. How can I tell what app is using that "usage"? It is not data, just time active.

    Go to the AppleStore and download BatteryDoctor.
    This will help you to see which apps take a lott of your battery level.

  • I think someone bought intunes merchandise with my account. How can I see what they bought to make sure?

    Is anyone here?
    I think someone bought intunes merchandise with my account. How can I see what they bought to make sure?

    There are fellow users here, you aren't talking to Apple on these forums.  You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View My Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - not sure whether that shows in-app purchases as I've never made any.  You can also check to see if you have any auto-renewing subscriptions .  If you don't recognise the charge and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
