HT201272 No apps are appearing in the "purchased" tab of app store

I bought a new iPad mini and am trying to download a past purchase, but no apps are appearing in my "purchased" tab in the App Store. It was a $89.99 app, so I am not buying it again. I have confirmed that I am signed in with the same Apple ID as was used to purchase the App originally. Any advice for how I can get this app back?

Hi lesliejane,
When you are looking at the Purchased tab, do you have "All" selected (as opposed to Not on this iPad)?
Did you do a search for the app when in Purchased>All?
Cheers,

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

try
In th App Store menu click on "Store" and "View My Account"
Under the "iTunes in the Cloud" section of the new window that appears there were 2 "Hidden Purchases".
Click on "View Hidden Purchases" and then click on "Unhide" on OS X Lion (assuming it is there - mine was).
It will now re-appear in your puchases section and you can re-download and install if necessary.

This service is ONLY available in beta version in the U.S.
"You could try going to the tab "store" then scroll down to "check for available downloads. I hope this helps!"
This will not work.

No. Apple does no tracking of lost or stolen devices.
If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, something which your iPhone certainly would support - any device that can run iOS 5 or later can - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to pay for it.
If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).

How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear in the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. If your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do it via your computer's iTunes.

Cannot see the "purchased tab" in iTunes app

A week ago, my iPhone 4 was accidently removed and deleted from my iCloud account, which means all the content was removed from it. And ofcourse i was not prepared, but i was stupid enough to not backup my music and all that stuff. And my music was gone. Then i found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 , where it's described how to locate and redownload your music from iTunes. But this tab is not showing up anywhere on my iPhone. And neither on my iPad (3rd gen). Any suggestion? :-)
Btw my iPhone 4 is running iOS 5.1.1

Try this from iTunes on a computer
Make sure itunes is up to date, click Help > Check for update if you are on windows.
When you click on iTunes Store in iTunes, and the store pulls up, make sure you are signed in to the itunes store (Should see your appleid or "Sign IN" at the top right of the store)
once you are signed in, the purchased tab is listed on the right with a big blue "NEW" bubble next to it
use that to download any missing content to your computer, and then sync it to the phone
if you do not see the purchased tab on the phone then you are not up to date with your os software, or you are looking in the wrong place

Final Cut Pro x not appearing in my purchased tab after download

Purchased Final Cut Pro x from the Mac App store last night and downloaded it to my Macbook Pro. I want to install it on my other Mac that shares an iTunes account, but it does not appear in the Purchased tab in the Mac App store. It has been downloaded and the tab to buy has changed to the installed tab. Does it normally take a while to appear or how can I fix this? (I have tried restarting the computer, software updates, and logging out and then back into the App store)

The same situation is happening to me I bought motion 5 first and the FCP X and the FCPX shows up as install but the Motion 5 shows up like its not installed, but in the purchase section FCPX does not show only Motion 5, and if I click on motion 5 to install it it tells me that it was not purchase in that app store that it was purchase in another app store, but my bank account shows up like if it was already purchase I am afraid to hit install in the motion tab install because it tells me if I want to buy it again.

How do i uninstall a purchased app (that no longer appears in the purchased app list in the store) so that i can repurchase and have the app appear as "purchased" so that i can get updates as the software is updated periodically?

I am looking for some help with the app store. I recently purchased an app (aperture) in the app store and subsequently apple refunded the purchase price. However, the downside of this is that aperture no longer appears as a "purchased" app within my app store account. Accordingly, i don't believe i will get updates as the software is updated periodically. Apple has instructed me to delete all my aperture files, reboot and then revisit the app store to re-download and it should let me pay for the app and redownload just as if i had never had the app before. However, when i go to purchase aperture, i get a warning that it has already been purchased and that i can re-download for free. That sounds great but again it won't appear in the "purchased" list in the app store b/c of the original refund from apple. I never thought i would have this much trouble trying to pay someone for a product!
Questions:
Is the app store looking to my hard drive for traces of aperture to determine whether it has been purchased or is it looking at some kind of purchase history within the app store?
Is there anyway to wipe my hard drive clean of aperture files or wipe clean my app store purchase history so that i can start over?
If none of this is possible, does anyone have a possible solution?
If i were to redownload aperture (currently for free since it won't let me pay) when a subsequent update comes out (say it goes from version 3.2.2 to 3.2.3) can i then elect to buy aperture, pay the fee and will it appear as a purchased app and allow me to get upgrades going forward? Would any data be compromised with this?
Many thanks for your help!

1. Do you have a backup connected to your Mac that contains the app? If so, yes the MAS can detect that and believes that the app is installed.
2. If the app no longer appears in the purchase history on the Purchased pane in the MAS, then it would seem that Apple has taken care of that.
4. Updates, such as you describe are free. Upgrades are not. An upgrade is a new paid version of the app, such as v 3.0 to v 4.0.

After restoring my device from backup, some of the apps I have purchased are missing in the purchase list

Hi,
i have backed up my device on iCloud and my computer.
After restoring my device from backup, some of the apps I have purchased are missing in the purchase list.
It seems that i need to pay for them again in order to purchase.
Can you please help?
Thanks,
Shirley

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you checked they are still available in the App store.
Did you purchase them all from the same account.

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 Season pass notice does not always download. It does not appear in the purchased items. I am responding to an email stating 'this week's TV show is ready for download'.

Season pass notice does not always download. It does not appear in the purchased items. I am responding to an email stating 'this week's TV show is ready for download'. Any suggestions?

Been having the same problems all week. And am got a generic, not-at-all-helpful response from my initial inquiry with support, then absolutely no response to my follow-up requests. There seem to be a fair number of people posting this problem, so not sure why we're being ignored.
Was able to eventually download the episodes manually via the 'purchased' link, but it's about 10 more steps than normal.
Also noticed that itunes isn't recognizing my purchases at all, not just season passes. If I go to a page of a show where I buy episodes individually, it doesn't show which episodes I have previously bought like it used to.

Unable to redownload an app from the Purchases tab - button not working

Hi!
I've emailed apple support but they weren't much help - a while ago the option to update Acorn 4 appeared under Updates (along with some other apps, which updated fine) - when I tried to update Acorn, I got an error message.
I talked to Flying Meat software on twitter, and they said I should completely remove the app (which I did, using AppCleaner) - and now it's appearing at the top of the Purchases tab, but the button to install it has no text on it, and doesn't do anything when I click it.
Any ideas?
I'm running the latest version of Moutain Lion.

How do I download an app that failed to download when the App Store says all Unfinished Downloads are downloaded?

How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?

Hi,
I am running a Macbook Pro (retina). Lately when I launch App Store and click on Updates the software updates for the software on the Macbook do not show up under the Updates tab. However, when I go to the Purchased tab I see there Update buttons next to programs that have updates ready to download.
How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?
Many Thanks,
David
