How do I purchase an app that a family member has already purchased?

I have family sharing enabled on my iPhone, and let's say for some reason I want to buy an app that one of my family member has already purchased. How do I do that without disabling family sharing?

You just purchase the app. Are you running into some sort of issue when trying to purchase it?
Cheers,

App store will not let me download the free Yosemite because a family member has already done so. Can I get it under family share?

I went to download the free version of OS X Yosemite, and when I clicked the "free" button a message appears saying that a family member has already downloaded it and the only option I have is to buy it. Can I access the free version through family share? If i leave family share can I download the free version?

We don't want you to leave your family!
I think that the best thing would be preparing an USB loader of the Yosemite installer and then use it for new installation process.

How do I re-download apps that I deleted but did not purchase?

Is there anyway for me to re-download apps that I once deleted but I did not purchase? I've seen help for those who purchased apps, you go to the 'purchased' area in the App Store, but that didn't work for me because I didn't buy them.

How did you get the games if you didn't pay for them? Even the free apps in the app store go through the purchasing process and are tied to your Apple ID. If you paid for them you are still able to log into the app store using your Apple ID which they were purchased with and download them again.
If you received a used device or one as a gift the apps may be tied to someone else's Apple ID and still need the password for that account to install and run them.

How can I fixed an app that says An Error Has Occurred and it does not reinstall because the download was damaged?

I don't know why but I can't download Borderlands GOTY. I tried and it says this product is damaged please reinstall borderlands GOTY. I tried once again and it said the same thing. Then I tried a third time and now it won't install. It just says reinstall app in the Purchases list.

Restore it with a TimeMachine backup if you have used it previously.
If not delete all references to it, empty the trash, clear browser history, try a different browser.
Maybe try a faster internet connection to successfully download.

HT2736 What if I gift a movie that the other subscriber has already purchased or been gifted?

Is there any way to see the other users purchased or gifted movies prior to gifting them another copy???

The money will be lost, since there's no way to exchange or return a gift. The giver is not automatically refunded if the recipient does not use the redemption code. It's therefore best to confirm that the intended recipient does not already have the item before giving the gift; I know that's not as much fun, but it's safest.

How can I remove apps that I downloaded and removed from "purchased" at App Store?

How can I remove some apps that I downloaded and removed from "purchased" list at App Store??
Thanks Vic

You can't remove apps from the purchased list. It's impossible. You can hide them but not delete them from the purchased list.
Tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles then tap the X on the icon to delete it, tap the home button to stop apps from wiggling.

HT6389 If I purchased an app that is "Not Shareable", does that mean that no one in my Family Group can download it? Even if they want to purchase it again?

I have several apps that opted out of Family Sharing. I understand that, but what makes no sense is that a family member can't purchase the app because I downloaded it in the past.
Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Open the itunes store on your computer and click Purchased under Quick Links. You can get it from there.

I just made a new account and i placed the account in my ipod but now its asking me submit a payment method which i do not want to place because i do not want to purchase any app that requires money. how can i use my account without giving a payment metho

now asks me to put in my payment method. i do not wish to place it in because i am not looking forward to purchase any app that needs to be paid for. How can i use my account but not give in my credit card data?

Create a NEW account/ID using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
Thank you.

How can I delete an app that was purchased?

Delete an App Store app: Touch and hold its icon on the Home screen until the icon starts to jiggle, then tap the "x" . You can’t delete built-in apps. When you finish, press the Home button.
Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge

How do u uninstall the apps that already been purchased?

How do u unitalled the apps that already been purchased?

Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. You cannot delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music/iPod, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they won't show in the Purchased links : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

I just purchased the new Nokia windows phone. How do I delete an app that I installed but really don't want to keep?

I just purchased the new Nokia windows phone. How do I delete an app that I installed but don't want to keep?

You are welcome! I played with the 928 in a Verizon store and really liked it. Besides the great camera and Nokia Maps, I'd be pretty excited about Nokia Music, too. As I understand it, this free app lets you create playlists from its entire music library, which can be stored on your device to listen to any time.
There are a few members on the WP board who are really knowledgeable about Nokia and WP, so let us know if you have more questions.

ITunes not showing devices, how do I transfer an app that I purchased to my phone?

I just downloaded the 64bit iTunes for Windows 7. And I've just purchased an app that I want to run on my android phone. The tab "Devices" is not showing up and is missing and therefore iTunes does not recognize the phone. How do I get the app from iTunes to my phone? Also, how would I get any music to my phone if the its not recognized.

I am having a similar problem. laptop crashed and we needed a new harddrive. Reinstalled itunes, downloaded "purchased apps" in itunes, then found I needed to "transfer purchases" and have done so and then backed up ipad in itunes.
However, I still have apps that I purchased that wouldn't download in ipad and said would be available on computer in itunes. I see them there, but all app boxes are greyed out and I cannot select those boxes. If I somehow got it un-greyed, where I could check those boxes and uncheck the others, it wouldn't just add those, right - it'd delete the others?
Also, if I hit "sync apps" then it says it will erase ipad and apply the library, so I'll lose all info in apps. In theory, I could (I'm guessing - tell me if I'm wrong and can't do this) tell it to go to the "back up" and sync, right? But, It literally took 24 hours to "back up ipad", and I dont' want to have another whole day to restore to back up. And, oh yeah, those apps aren't on the back up copy, so I'd not get anywhere but frustrated.
How can I get these apps on without losing my data?

HT201272 Purchased an app that is in my app library on iTunes but it will not transfer to my iPad when I sync. How to I do this?

I purchased an app that is in my app library on iTunes but it doesn't transfer to my iPad when I sync. What do I do?

It depends on the iPod shuffle model... Assuming your shuffle is the 4th gen (or 3rd gen) model, do you use automatic syncing or the manual method (drag and drop song on iPod in iTunes)?
