HT201272 How can I download previous APP purchases onto my laptop?

I have authorised my computer and after much searching I still remain clueless as to how I can access the apps I have bought from Apple in the past using my ipad.
I have checked for automatic downloads and it has not downloaded any of my apps...Please Help!

If you are logged in with the same account then they should appear in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes (or you should be able to copy them over from the iPad to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases) - you can then take a backup copy of them in case you need to restore your iPad in the future (you can't use iPad apps on a Mac)

How can I download previous iTunes purchases onto a new iPod using someone else's computer?

Hi,
I've brought an ipod shuffle and need to download my itunes purchases but I don't have access to my own computer for another couple weeks. How can I download from itunes? I'm getting a message that the friend's computer I'm using can't use a different apple ID for 90 days - I'll be long gone by then and back with my own computer!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Multiple people can indeed use multiple Apple IDs on the same computer in multiple user accounts as long as they do not use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-download any past purchases. However, if you'll read the KB article I posted a link to you'll see that for the purposes of those services a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. If the OP associates their friend's computer with their Apple ID and downloads purchases from the purchase history the owner of the computer will be locked out from using iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-downloading any past purchases.
It's not that the friend will be unable to use iTunes at all, but what the OP wants to do will associate their friend's computer to thier Apple ID for 90 days which may cause the friend some inconvinence.

How do I download previous app purchases?

I am trying to setup my new iPod (latest version) with all of my old data from my previous iPod 4g. This has worked to a certain extent. I have got everything from my old iPod, except for music and apps on the new iPod. I can see all of my music purchases on iTunes and can easily download them on my new iPod. However, I cannot find the apps. I have configured iTunes so that I can have the tab to access the apps, but there is nothing in it. I can go to the previous purchases through the app store on my iPod 4g (there is everything I have ever purchased, even from 3 years ago), but cannot access them through iTunes or though the app store on the new iPod, even when signed into my Apple ID account. I also logged into iCloud on the internet, using my Apple ID and there is still no way to access music or apps through iCloud. I have the latest version of iTunes, my iPod 4g is up to date (iOS 6.1.3), and my new iPod (lastest version) has iOS 7. How do I get my previous app purchases onto my new iPod?

How can I download previous iTunes purchases from older apple id after my Mac is associated with my current one?

I have 4 MacBooks running MtnLion, iPad3, iPhones 2,3gs,4,and 4s,Time Capsule, and Apple TV....
I have 2 Apple IDs [email protected], and [email protected]
Almost all of my media is associated with gmail Apple ID. I want to retrieve my previous purchases, but don't need this Apple id aside from that.
All of my computers and devices are associated with [email protected] id (I've set automatic downloads on all devices for [email protected])
Now itunes will not let me download purchases I made on [email protected] for 60 days.....
I actually wiped my 15" Mac pro, installed MtnLion and set it up with the me@gmail Apple ID (both icloud and itunes) just to get my previous itunes purchases. I downloaded about half, and then got sidetracked. Now when I go into itunes on it and try to download the rest, it says this computer is associated wth another apple id and can't download for 60 days!!!
I tried deauthorizing, but to no end.

How do I download an app purchase onto my iPad?

I purchased an in-app upgrade that didn't download but I was charged anyway. When I sent to my account to report a problem, I got a message that I had to download it from iCloud. When I go to iCloud, I can't find anything that has to do with downloading an app I've already paid for. Can anyone help?

If you don't see it on your purchased list to redownload it, you'll have to contact iTunes store support for assistance: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

How can I download previous music purchases in iTunes

There seems to have been a glitch in one track of an album purchased from the Store. On advice at an Apple retail store I deleted the tracks from the album (with the intent of re-downloading the album hoping for a clear download) and yet when I check available downloads I am told that all purchases have been downloaded. Any clues?

HT201272 How can I download ringtones previously purchased?

I purchased various ringtones from the iTunes store now I'm trying to download to my new iPhone and I can't find them. How can I download ringtones previosly purchased in the iTunes store? Thanks

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in the store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

HT201749 i seem to have deleted font book. how can i download this app back on?

i seem to have deleted font book by mistake. how can i download this app back on? i can't find it on the mac website...

You can custom install the Font Book directly from disc #1 that came with your computer when it was purchased. Follow the onscreen custom install instructions.
If you’d like to reinstall applications that aren’t offered in the Custom Install screen—applications in the Utilities folder or in the Bundled Software folder for example—you can use Pacifist - http://www.charlessoft.com/

How can i download an app from iTunes store, that exists just in a "swiss store". Because my account isn't allowed to download apps from other stores than a slovene. ???

You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

I have two drives in my macbook pro. How can I download my apps to my second data hard drive instead of my OS SSD drive?

I have two drives in my macbook pro. How can I download my apps to my second data hard drive instead of my OS SSD drive? Is there a way to point the default directory in the app store to a different hard drive? Certainly for a Mac Pro this makes sense.
