How do I recover a purchased app that is now missing from home page?

Had not synced iPod to computer since app purchase, so app did not show up in iTunes library on computer. Since I purchased this app (but the icon perhaps was deleted) how do I get it back?  Surely the purchase is documented and there is a way to recover the app.  I've tried everything!

    It is easy to download items you have purchased from iTunes again; this article will walk you through it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You want the "Apps on iOS" section.

    how do i install a purchased app that says installed but it's not on mac or iPad?

    An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

  • HT1420 How do you recover a purchased app?

    Hello,
    How do you recover a previously paid app that does appear under "Purchased" when you click on the 'App Store' app? Note that I have a printed copy of the "Purchased History" which does show the "Locabulary Pro 1.0" app purchased on 4/12/12. Thanks.

    You can search this app and install it

  • How do I recover my purchased apps?

    I reset my iPad2 (to factory settings) and logged back in and lost all of my purchased applications. I logged back in with my Apple ID and now all of my purchased applications are missing from the store. How do I recover them?

    One way is to open the App Store on the iPad, click "Updates" on the bottom, then "Purchased" and retrieve them from there.  (This assumes you have signed in to the App Store at Settings > iTunes & App Stores).
    Another way would be to simply sync your iPad to iTunes on your computer, where you have presumably stored your apps during previous syncs.

  • How do i uninstall a purchased app (that no longer appears in the purchased app list in the store) so that i can repurchase and have the app appear as "purchased" so that i can get updates as the software is updated periodically?

    I am looking for some help with the app store.  I recently purchased an app (aperture) in the app store and subsequently apple refunded the purchase price.  However, the downside of this is that aperture no longer appears as a "purchased" app within my app store account.  Accordingly, i don't believe i will get updates as the software is updated periodically.  Apple has instructed me to delete all my aperture files, reboot and then revisit the app store to re-download and it should let me pay for the app and redownload just as if i had never had the app before.  However, when i go to purchase aperture, i get a warning that it has already been purchased and that i can re-download for free.  That sounds great but again it won't appear in the "purchased" list in the app store b/c of the original refund from apple.  I never thought i would have this much trouble trying to pay someone for a product! 
    Questions:
    Is the app store looking to my hard drive for traces of aperture to determine whether it has been purchased or is it looking at some kind of purchase history within the app store?
    Is there anyway to wipe my hard drive clean of aperture files or wipe clean my app store purchase history so that i can start over?
    If none of this is possible, does anyone have a possible solution?
    If i were to redownload aperture (currently for free since it won't let me pay) when a subsequent update comes out (say it goes from version 3.2.2 to 3.2.3) can i then elect to buy aperture, pay the fee and will it appear as a purchased app and allow me to get upgrades going forward?  Would any data be compromised with this?
    Many thanks for your help!

    1. Do you have a backup connected to your Mac that contains the app? If so, yes the MAS can detect that and believes that the app is installed.
    2. If the app no longer appears in the purchase history on the Purchased pane in the MAS, then it would seem that Apple has taken care of that.
    4. Updates, such as you describe are free. Upgrades are not. An upgrade is a new paid version of the app, such as v 3.0 to v 4.0.

  • How do I find a purchased app that is not showing up in the purchases tab?

    I am trying to help a friend install OS X 10.8. She purchased it about 3 months ago but wasn't too sure about installing it. Today, I looked up the order number, and it is confirmed that it has been electronically delivered via e-mail. I couldn't find an e-mail with a link to the purchase, so I assumed it would be in her purchases page in the Mac App Store; however, when I visited her purchases page, it has no record of any purchases. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can locate it, or who I should contact to receive help with this?

    It sounds like she may be using a different account then the one that was used to purchase 10.8
    If you cannot locate the purchase, contact the iTunes Store so they can help you figure out which account it's attached to.

  • How can I delete a purchase (Mavericks) that has not downloaded from my account?

    How can I delete a purchse that has not yet downloaded (Mavericks) from my account? I contacted App Store support and my responder claims to have deleted Mavericks from myaccoount. He didn't; it is still there, under the purchases tab-in the cloud. Thank you.

    Hi Dah-veed
    Thanks for your response. But it doesn't make sense. Mavericks wouldn't download, and although I decided that I wasn't ready for it yet (incompatibility issues), I would like to be ale to get it (OSX) in the future, and if it shows as 'purchased', I won't be able to 'start over' fresh.

  • I have an app that is (now) deleted from app store, can i get this onto ym brothers iphone from mine?

    The app cartoon HD, i have on my ipohone 4. Can i somehow get it onto my brothers iphone maybe via my itunes backups or something? thanks

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • How I retrieve a purchased app that was taken down?

    Hello. I would like to discuss with this problem that I have just encountered. Recently, I've chosen a back up storage and then iCloud was restoring my iPhone. There was a link of the app showing that it was there then suddenly it vanished off the iPhone screen. I've tried to restore it again and again. Same thing happened, link of the app was showing and then in a matter of seconds, it vanished. I checked my apple account(I have also checked in the hidden purchased apps, I got zero results) , the app that I have purchased for $3.99 was no longer existed. They said that the developer of the app(Yu Zeng) took it down, due to lack of office use. I really loved that app and I paid good money for it. So the question is,"How do I retrieve a purchased app that was taken down? Or "Is it possible to retrieve a purchased app that was taken down?" If there is any solution to this matter, please do tell. I really need a lot of help!
    Video Downloader Pro is the app that I really loved.

    How can I remove and replace a purchased app that is malfunctioning.?

    Delete the App and redownload it...
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle.
    You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner.
    Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    ( You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.)
