HT201272 Attempting to "update"/reinstall previously purchased apps

In attempting to "update"/reinstall many of my previously purchased apps,  a "download" feature does not appear, only an "open."  I am only be able to access them via the iTunes/App store - I can open them, but not reinstall them.  Am I doing something wrong?  (I have a 4s, which was just updated to 6.)

All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps.
In order to install an app update with the iTunes account that was used to download the apps, you must use that iTunes account and password.

  • HT201272 Why aren't my previously purchased apps showing up in the purchased tab of the app store on my new ipad?  I used the same ID as my old ipad.

    I sold my original ipad and bought an ipad 2.  I wasn't worried about losing all of the apps I had previously purchased/downloaded, because I knew that the app store has a "purchased" tab, from which you can download previously downloaded apps.  I set up my new ipad 2 with the same app store ID.  I went to the purchased tab, the loading circle went on for awhile then went away, but no apps showed up.  What's the problem?
    I would be really upset if I lost all of the apps I previously paid for or downloaded (probably about 80 or so), seeing as how the app store is supposed to remember my purchase/download history based upon the user ID.

    Go to "Settings > iTunes and App Stores", touch the AppleID, sign out, and then sign in with your revised AppleID.

  • HT201272 How do you restore previously purchased apps in version ios 4.3.1?

    I restored the iPad from backup via iTunes and got my bookmarks back but not my apps
    I learned that as of 4.3.4 you can just go to the purchased button in the app store. But how to do this in 4.3.1?
    Please help

    Of course it does not work with 4.3.1.
    I showed you wher it says " iOS 4.3.3 or later,"
    Do you not see that?
    4.3.1 is NOT 4.3.3 or later

  • Unable to update apps on iPad mini. I have even restored the iPad and now I can't download any of my previously purchased apps.

    Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • HT201272 how to get previous purchased apps

    How can I get back previous purchased apps on my iphone 3gs?

    You should be able to do it as described on the page that you posted from, assuming that they are still in the store e.g. via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your phone, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (which you can then sync to your phone).

    I read online about a "clean reinstall" of firefox which seems to have worked! They should include direction on this on their page: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+you+open+it

  • Can't download updates and previous purchases

    App store is not downloading updates or previous purchases (from another computer). Clicking the Update or Install button, just changes the button to light grey for a couple of seconds, then goes back to normal dark grey, but nothing downloads.
    Any suggestions?

    To give a little more detail:
    I recently purchased two applications, Transmit and Keynote. They downloaded and installed just fine on my iMac. I then tried to install them on my MacBook Pro (recently bought new) and nothing happens when I click the install button next to the entries under Purchases.
    I have probably 10 other apps that installed just fine. I can even install any of them right now and it downloads and installs just fine. Only Transmit and Keynote (my latest purchases) it doesn't work. I can also "buy" and install new software and it works.
    If I log out and back in to my Apple ID account, it'll ask me for my password like it normally does to install software, but then again does nothing -- the button just flips back to "Install" after a second.
    There is no error message at all, although yesterday the very first time I tried to install the software there was some kind of server error. I tried quitting and restarting Mac App Store.
    I tried rebooting. I checked my Applications folder for Transmit.app or Keynote.app just in case there was something half downloaded or a trial version that could conflict -- nothing.
    I ran Software Update and everything was fully up to date. I also ran the combo 10.6.7 update.
    I tried deleting the appstore and storeagent files in ~/Library/Caches, ~/Library/Cookies and ~/Library/Preferences
    None of this has had any effect.
    I have contacted Apple Support. Hopefully they will have some advice to offer.

    I havent had any problems with my iPad2 until today. I cannot download anything from the app store or iTunes. Doesn't matter if it's a previously purchased app or a new one. Help???
    I just get a message--- after a long wait where the app icon says "waiting" that I can't connect to iTunes.
    Wifi signal is strong. All bars.

  • HT5085 Previously Purchased Apps No Longer Available

    Hi everyone,
    I've switched places of residence from Russia to Ukraine (subsequently changing required address information) in the Apple ID form after Ukraine had appeared in "the list of ICountries" using my new MacBook Pro (Retina). That went well. However, now I can't retrieve none of the previously purchased apps neither on my iPhone nor on my MacBook. On both devices, the iTunes' "Purchased" link leads to an empty list of previously purchased apps. Not fair, given that I had purchased a ton of apps in the past.
    My iPhone and MacBook are authorised, and all other configurations seem in place. I still see what used to be my apps in the Purchase History. Am I missing something? Or is it just how it is now?
    I'd be more than happy to get back my apps. Please help.

    When you change accounts to another country, you no longer can use past purchases from the cloud from the former. International restrictions here...

  • Why do all of my previously purchased app say they are no longer available?

    Each time I try to download a previously purchased app, a message says it is no longer available.  It even happens with my movies I've purchased.  Is iCloud down or something?

    There currently appears to be a problem with the iTunes Store. Try again tomorrow.
