How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad??

How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad?? I have an ipad and it was open by another person's Apple ID and all the applications too. Now I have change the Apple ID by my name and I wanted to update the apps and I can't remember if the apps were free or not, and I don't want to delete them without knowing if they are free.

When you buy an app the app is permanently allocated to the AppleID account you bought it through.  You can then download that app on up to five devices,  as many times as you want, without buying it again.  So deleting an App is not a big problem, you just log into your account in iTunes again, find the app, and instead of showing you a 'BUY' button it shows you a 'DOWNLOAD' or 'INSTALL' button.
If you change the AppleID account  you use in your iPad then Apple will think you sold the iPad to someone else, and all the apps with that name will stop working anyway.
But you can change the name and email address for an AppleID account, without moving to a new AppleID account, by following these instructions:

  • HT204088 We entered an app store gift card # onto our ipod. How do I know if the purchases are getting charged to the gift card vs. my credit card? Also how do I found out what the balance left on the gift card is?

    How do I know if the app purchases are being taken from the app gift card vs. my credit card?
    And how can I see the balance remaining on the gift card?

    If the card has been redeemed then its remaining amount should be on your account, the card itself is now effectively zero. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
    As long as you are buying content for yourself then purchases should be deducted from your balance - if you are gifting content then that can only be done from a credit card.

    Yep, it does matter. You won't be able to update or get anything until this is fixed. Contact iTunes support to see what's wrong:

    Upgrading the OS does not remove your apps and purchases.

    You say you have iOS 7. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

  • I just bought mountain lion off the app store,but now I think I already have it. Is this possible? Would I be able to buy it if I already own it?

    The App Store will permit you to purchase Mountain Lion regardless of whether your MacBook Pro already had it installed when it shipped from Apple.
    If you bought Mountain Lion from the App Store, you will be able to install it on as many additional Macs as you may have. If you only have the one Mac and have no plans to acquire any others that did not ship with Mountain Lion, then there was no need to purchase another copy.

  • How can we know that the Rule is Generated or Not?

    Hi,,
    After creating the Risk , its suggested to click on Generate Rules Button to Generate the Risk.
    But my question is that how we can know whether the risk is already generated or not..??
    Any table or any change history for this.
    As I can see even after generating the Rule the last update date for the risk is still the same.
    Someone please help me !

    Hi,
    Rule ID numbers are just identifiers for different combinations in same risk. It is just serial number assigned to the combination.
    Example:
    Risk: RISK01
    Function: FUNC01                         Function: FUNC02
    Action:      ZU01                              Action:     XU01
                     ZU02                                              XU02
    Rule ID: 0001 for ZU01 and XU01
    Rule ID: 0002 for ZU01 and XU02
    Rule ID: 0003 for ZU02 and XU01
    Rule ID: 0004 for ZU02 and XU02
    But if you remove action ZU02 and XU01 in your update
    Remaining
    Action:
    ZU01                        
    Action:
    XU02
    Rule ID: 0001 for ZU01 and XU02
    So it will just update the respective risk with same rule id assignment to new combination.
    To achieve more clarity try to build one risk in you system.
    You can definitely go into the risk to see if the new rule generated has changes reflected as per update or not. Try this all with example so you would have clarity.

  • Ipad Air restore off Icloud backup. How do I know if my apps are taking too long in the "waitting" part of the reboot?

    For some reason my Ipad Air decided it wanted to create used space on it's hard-drive today. It suddenly went from using 7GB to 11.5 GB. I couldn't find the solution so I decided to restore my Ipad from a backup last Thursday. Now all my apps appear but it is taking forever to download them, it wont change from waiting to downloading?
    Suggestions?
    My main question is, how long does it take in each process till backup is 100% Complete its downloading around 7GB of storage, when will my apps stop "waiting"

    Your camera roll photos - those that you take with the iPad or save from emails and websites - are in your backup.
    If you use iCloud for backups, restore from your iCloud backup after you restore the iPad. If you restore with iTunes, restore from that backup after you restore the iPad. You can read more here.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    But the bottom line is that if you have never backed up, there is no way to save the photos now.

  • How do I know if the caches are doing what they should be?

    A while back my computer suddenly slowed down a lot. I downloaded an activity monitor program to see if I could identify the problem. I found that no matter what was running or not running, the file cache always takes up any remaining memory I have. I keep seeing people saying on forums that the caches speed your computer up, they save time by saving app info, it doesn't help to delete them, etc. And yet, my computer takes ten times as long as it should to do anything. Is it possible that way more things are trying to be cached than there should be? People keep saying they are there to speed up the computer, but no matter what I do, it seems like that is the problem. Is there any way to verify that the cached files are the problem, or if it's something else?

    Ok, here is the EtreCheck report. Here it is saying I have a significant amount of free RAM, but I don't know if there is a difference between virtual memory and RAM.

  • HT201493 What good is the notify button when Find my Friends doesn't allow location services always? Only will notify you when the app is on and then you can already see them...

    aanyone found out the best way to use this feature of the app? I want to be notified on the lock screen but I can not get that to happen at all

    I have found the solution.
    In order for person A to be able to click the 'notify' button to be alerted for person B
    Person B must be signed into the same icloud account they are using for find friends.
    You can't be using one apple ID for icloud and another apple ID for find friends.
    It appears this service uses iCloud for the geofencing side of things.
    I have tested it on my iphone 4 &amp; 5.
    Please let me know if this solves your problem.

    Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?
