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

Yes - sync it with iTunes. You can also drag the App form the App section of iTunes to the iPad/iPhone once connected to your iTunes - this will force a sync.
You can also set Automatic Downloads on your iTunes on your mac and also on your phone/iPad. This will mean when you buy anything anywhere it will also download for the other places. I find it really handy.

How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable? The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device. I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

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 download previous purchased items from my itunes account to my swapped out ipod touch

We had to swap my sons ipod touch for a new one due to it being broken. I need to know how to reload the previous purchased items back onto the new one.

They should be on the computer. Just sync them as you did the last ipod.
If you failed to put them on the computer then redownload them using the instruction in the article your reference above.

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 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.

How do I download previous purchased apps on a new device without credit information.

Is there anyway to download my previously purchased apps from my iPad mini to my iPad 2 without using a computer? The problem is I lost my purse or it was stolen and I am waiting for a new credit card via snail mail. What do I do in the mean time?

You should be able to access them via the App Store app under the Purchased menu

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.

Hi...
You can't. Purchases cannot be transferred from one Apple iD to another.
You will have to repurchase the apps using your new Apple ID.

HT201272 How do I delete previously downloaded apps from the Cloud?

I have already deleted the app from my devices, and from iTunes on my Macbook, but when I look at the app store on my devices under Purchased Apps Not on my Device, it still shows apps that I no longer want.

You cannot delete it from your history, as it is a complete history of your purchases.
You can hide it:
