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.

HT201272 How do I redownload my purchased apps to iTunes on Mac

I had all my iTunes apps, video, music etc stored on an external hard drive.
The drive broke down and so did the backup.
So when I open up iTunes now, I see the apps but when I ask to "find in finder" I obviously get an exclamation mark.
I was able to rebuild all my music and videos but am stomped with the apps.
I want to redownload my purchased apps to iTunes which is the last step in reconstructing my iTunes library
I tried the procedure outlined in the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 but got stomped at step 4:
of: "To download previously purchased:/ Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer/Using iTunes 11 or later"
which states: "After you've signed in, click the Library button located in the upper-right of the iTunes Store."
There is no Library Button.
Anyone had the same problem and solve it ? If so, please help !
Thank you !
PS: I am using iTunes 11.01

With iTunes 11, if you have the left-hand sidebar showing (option-command-S) like on previous versions of iTunes, then the Library button won't show - instead you can select your library via that sidebar.
To re-download, on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage there should be a Purchased link under the Quick Links section. Click on that and you should go to a screen where you can select the content type (music, apps etc) and be able to re-download them. If you still have the 'pointers' to your apps in your iTunes library (i.e. where you are getting the exclamation marks) then iTunes will assume that you already have them somewhere and won't let you re-download them - so try deleting one of them first and you should then be able to re-download it via that Purchased link, and you can then do the same for the others.

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

Thank you, but that does not work in 4.3.1
Any other suggestions?
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

HT1977 how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account?

how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account? It bothers me a lot when I try to syn my device to a new computer and all the apps i've ever purchased get downloaded to a new computer even the ones I never use anymore.

Sorry, but you can't permanently delete an app. You can hide them:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
but the app will still sync to your computer if the app is present on the iPad. If the apps are downloading directly to your computer and hiding doesn't do the job, you'll need to turn off automatic downloading.

How can i move my purchased app from apple id in russia to ukrainean app store when i change country

I had my apple id in Russia and had a lot of purchased apps there. Recently i had to change a country of my apple id to Ukraine. So i have a question how can i move my purchased apps to apple id in Ukraine?

You have been mislead. Other users report that what you have been told by the Hack is not true. The apps will appear to have disappeared, but if you try to update an app at first the MAS will appear to be selling you the app, but if you continue, as if to buy the app, the MAS will realize that you previously purchased the app and download it for free. You can test this for yourself using a free or inexpensive app.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

Hello swethachavali,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Make sure that you are authorizing your computer with the same Apple ID that you used to purchase those apps. Please review the following article for more information:

I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad?

I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad? I assume they didn't back up to cloud since that came with this update. I can see all my purchased apps but no way to transfer them back to my ipad from whereever they are. Wish itunes was more user friendly. Help please.

If you are running iTunes 11 and if you didn't figure this out yet, when you launch iTunes - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen. Once you can see the sidebar, iTunes looks so much more familiar.
The "new look" iTunes doesn't appeal all that much to me, I just want the functionality that I have always had. It's still there, its just been hidden with a lot of fluff and visual wow that I really don't care about .... Just my opinion.

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID?

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID? A good example is if you are forced to change your email, which you use as your Apple ID. what if it is a security app and you lose a lot of data if you lose the app? Why are the apps tied to the Apple ID rather than the user? Why is it impossible to globally change the Apple I D?

All content is tied to the account, but you can change the primary email address on an account e.g. you can log into your account via the Store > View Account on your computer's iTunes and there should be an Edit button to the right of your account id on your account's page, or similarly on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and view your account. Or you can update it by logging into it via this page http://appleid.apple.com . You shouldn't lose any content on the account if you update it.
After updating the account you may need to log out of your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for it to be 'refreshed' on it

HT4461 how do i install a purchased app that says installed but it's not on mac or iPad?

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.

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

How do I transfer my purchased apps

How do I transfer my purchased apps & music from iPhone 3G to iPhone 5 & iPad?

As long as the apps are still in the store then you can redownload them directly on both the iPhone 5 and iPad via the Purchased tab in their App Store apps, and (depending upon what country that you are in) you may also be able to redownload your music purchases on them via the Purchased tab in their iTunes store apps.
But if you want the apps content from your 3G and not just the apps, then you will need to go via a computer's iTunes e.g. connect the 3G and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy the apps and songs etc over to your computer's iTunes, then take a backup of the phone (File > Devices > Back Up) and then restore that backup on the iPhone 5 and/or iPad (restoring will replace all current content on them).
Going forward you don't have to backup to a computer, you will be able to backup to iCloud (the 3G is too old to support iCloud, so you can't back that up to it) :
iCloud : http://www.apple.com/icloud/
How to backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
Ideally though you'd have a computer that you could copy your iTunes downloads over to so that you can take a backup copy of them (and you could also back the iPhone and iPad up to a computer). There is no guarantee that any item will remain in the store for future redownloading, the content provider (app developer, record company etc) could remove their item from the store - and ringtones and audiobooks are currently one-time only downloads from the store, so without a computer you won't be able to them from one device to the other. A computer isn't needed, but it would be preferable to have one.
There are also minimum specs that a computer needs to meet to be able to sync an iPhone 5 to - from http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html :
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
