How to download a previous purchase, it says open under the app

How do I download a previous purchase when it says open under app not the down load symbol

When it shows Open instead of download, it means that app is already installed. Click open and it will open the app. You can't download a previous version of the app, only the current version that is avialable in the store.

How come all the apps I've purchased in the App Store in the past that used to say Installed now say Open under the app?

The App Store
Yosemeti
Ever since anyone that has upgraded to Yosemeti from Maverick or Mountain Lion you now go to the App Store and all the applications I've purchased in the past once you bought them they would say "Installed" and now they say "Open"? Have they changed the rules in purchasing applications from the App Store? Have they made changes to the licensing policies?

No, they just changed the Mac's function to mirror the function of the App Store on the iOS devices. The two operating systems are moving cl;oser together in how they function.

TS1702 App upgrades will not load. It just says "waiting" under the app

My grandson got on my IPad yesterday. Now no apps will upgrade and I cannot download any new apps. It just says "waiting" under the app Icon

Here are a number of things that have worked for others in the past. Ignore whatever you tried if it didn't work - or feel free to try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How to download a previously purchased OS 10.7 to install over 10.5.8?

Hi there, at my previous job I was given a MacBook Air for development purposes. I paid using my own account $30 to buy OS X Lion (10.7) through the Mac App Store and upgraded the computer. Before leaving I reinstalled the original 10.6 on it and returned it to the company. Now, I have a MacBook Pro I bought a few years ago and it has 10.5.8 on it. I know I can't use the Mac App Store on that version, and being that I had already purchased the software under my personal account, I technically own it. I'd like to download it somehow to install on my computer. I'm not willing to buy 10.6 just to upgrade to 10.7 and I don't have access to any other Macs. If it helps I'm near an Apple Store. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

If you upgrade your computer from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6.8, then you may access your App Store account from which you can re-download your software.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

How to download a previously purchased movie on an Ipad onto another iPad, i am from the Netherlands

Purchased a movie on my ipad and now want to download the same movie onto my other ipad using icloud. However in The Netherlands I can only sync music and foto's as it seems?

Unless you actually purchased ownership of the movie, you cannot re-download a movie rental unless you re-rent it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I download itube but I can't see the icon.its says open in the App Store but I can't open it, I download itube but I can't see the icon.its says open in the App Store but I can't open it

I download itube but the icon didn't appear. Also inApp store it's says open but I can't open it

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
As far as the icon itself, have you checked all of the home screens (swipe right-left). Also - it could be in a folder (but shouldn't have been placed in off the bat).

HT201269 I thought I had a problem after my iPhone suddenly lost an app, I restored from a back up and am now missing some apps. They appear on my I tunes page and say 'open' in the app store, but aren't on the phone. Help,

I was using my iPhone and 'lost' an app. I restored my phone from an earlier backup, but now can't see some of my apps. They are shown as being on the phone in both iTunes and the app store, but clearly aren't on the phone.
Where have I gone wrong.

How to download a previous purchase for Mac to Windows 8.1?

I purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premiere elements just over a year ago for my old Mac Desktop. It was not very useful because my mac was quite old.
How can I switch to PC download?

You should be able to download the Windows version and use your serial number to activate (unless your license is platform specific - only recently has that been a factor to my knowledge)

How to download my previous purchases

I just received a replacement iPad. Now I want to get all of my Apps that I had downloaded before. How do I do this? Especially the ones I had paid for

          To access your iCloud library of purchases, do the following:
open the iTunes app, at the bottom of the screen, click on the
"more" button with three dots above it, click on the "purchased"
category that should be second to bottom, you will then be prompted
to select a category of purchased items (music, movies, or TV shows)
, after clicking the category you want, tap the content you want to download,
and click on the cloud with the arrow pointing down, it should turn into
"downloading." Also be prepared to enter your Apple ID at least once.
If you do not have an iCloud account, go in to Settings, iCloud and follow the
instructions.
                          Hope This Helps!

How to download an previously purchased app on a second computer

I have Lion on my iMac and now want to download and install on my MBP. Signing into the Mac App store using the same Apple ID on the MBP, when i go to my purchases its blank. Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance

have you logged-in to the store on the MBP?

I recently purchased an ipad and downloaded apps. They now all say "waiting" under the app icon but I'm connected. How do I fix this?

Anyone have an answer for this?

I faced this problem sometime ago.
If you let it download thru' the night, it should be completed by morning.
This "Waiting" problem will disappear after a few days.
I cannot explain why it happen.

HT201272 Why is downloading of previously purchased movies only allowed in the US?

I had a hard drive fail after a purchase and I'm being asked to pay again in the UK? This can't be right. Is there no way to get it back? If you can do it with programs, apps and music, why not movies?

Because the US movie studios are the only ones thus far to have granted the necessary permissions (and not even all the US studios have). Making backups of your content is highly recommended, even for items that at present can be re-downloaded, since the content owners can remove any item at any time with no warning.
If you didn't make a backup, you may have to buy the movie again, but you can contact the iTunes Store and explain the situation:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.
