HT203167 How do I re-install my music and apps that I paid for after I reset my phone???
My debit card has no money on it but I've already purchased music and apps why won't it let install the music and apps I paid for after I reset my iPhone??? I'm sure there is a simple solution to this I'm a new iPhone user so there are a lot of things I need to learn to use this phone properly!!! It is saying that my card is declined but I already paid for the things I want to install,it won't even let me install the free apps.
After you reset your iPhone, did you enter your Apple ID into it during setup? The same Apple ID with which you made the purchases? If so, you will be able to reinstall the apps without repurchasing them.
When you go into the store and locate one of the apps you previously purchased, after a moment, the purchase price should be replaced with iCloud download button. That indicates your Apple ID already purchased that app and you need only tap the cloud button to redownload and install it.
If you have done local backups to a laptop/computer, and you cable connect your iPhone to that laptop/computer, you can use the Apps tab on the device screen to manage the apps--reinstall them.
If you had data in the Apps, whether that is retained will depend on how the particular App stored the data. If it is backed up iCloud, you will get the data back once you download the app and launch it (may take a few minutes).
EDIT: Same applies to music you purchased (including free purchases, on both apps and music).

How do I share in the music and apps that my children have purchased, but maintain my own identity?
You don't. Everythng downloaded with one Apple ID can not be transfered to another Apple ID. So you would need to buy it a second time. This is one of the Pit Falls of the whole Download only model.
That is why I refuse to buy things like music or movies that are tied to a specific User Name, ID. -
Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?
Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs. -

How do I back up my music and apps?
I've just authorised my iPhone for my new iTunes installation on a new laptop. Now, I wish to back up everything on my phone to it.
However, all I see is a Sync, which apparently just wants to transfer stuff from the laptop to the iPhone, not the other way around.
The Backup option just seems to backup my messages, contacts & other data.
I can't work out how to initially get all my music and apps onto the laptop.Click here and follow the instructions.

How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
HT1529 How do I recover previously purchased music and apps?
How do I recover previous purchased music and apps?
You need to be logged into iTunes using the same Apple ID (iTunes Store account) you used when you oiginally purchased the songs from the iTunes Store. You can check the Apple ID used to purchase a particular song by doing a Get Info on the song and looking for Account Name on the Summary tab of the Info window.
If you are still having problems, you should contact iTunes Store support, starting at this link

I accidentally deleted an app. that I paid for from Amazon in 2012. How do I get it back without having to pay for it again?
You purchased it directly from Amazon, not the App Store? It was a downloadable application, or one that came on physical install DVDs?

Ok can anyone tell how I can get the apps that I paid for on iTunes and the app store using my I pad because I don't have a computer and when I try to redownload the apps it keeps asking me for my card number and when I give it my card info it says that it's an invalid number when I know that it's not
If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -
i restored my ipod after backing it up but now all my music and apps that are in itunes on the computer will not sync across
Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
