HT6032 Purchase instruments again in GarageBand 2.0 when it was previously paid for?

It says here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6032) that if we purchased a previous version of GarageBand, we can restore the missing instrument. However, I tried tapping on the Already Purchased and logged in my credentials but still unable to get the full version of GarageBand on the iOS. I called the Apple Support and they told me I need to purchase AGAIN!?!? THis is contradicting what is mentioned in the article?
Come on Apple! This is not the way to make money. Why do I have to RE-pay for an app that I have already purchase before with full functionalities and then with one update, you took thme away and ask me to pay again. It is just not right.

Apple Support doesn't support iTunes Store issues and often doesn't really know what they're talking about. The iTunes Store has no phone support. Presuming you downloaded the new version of GarageBand using the same iTunes Store ID and password you previously purchased the instruments under, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
If you used a different Apple ID, that's probably why it's not working. You'll need to either delete GarageBand and try to re-download it using the ID you purchased the instruments under, or repurchase the instruments.
Regards.

  • HT201272 I downloaded an album but one of the songs is corrupted, it only plays for about 4 seconds. When I try to re-download using the iTunes Store and "Purchased", it won't give me the option to download it again. How can I get the song I PAID for!!??

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    I can completely understand your frustration...and I wish you the best of luck.  But as a Finance Manager, trust me, a person with great credit taking a ding on their report for an amount of such will have a heck of an impact...more than you probably are aware of.  Will it stop you from having credit extended to you...probably not...but it will have a significant impact on your score and 99% of all lending institutions don't rely on human eyes to view a credit report...it's all automated.  A credit score is assigned and an interest rate it reflects such.  Very little a human can do to get it altered...trust me, I know.
    Fight a good fight with VZW if you so desire...but don't take a perfect credit score and ruin it over this situation.  Even if VZW at some point corrects this issue...getting a TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax to correct an error is tough...really tough...you'd probably have better luck finding a ship at an airport than having them actually correct an error.  I know $7K is a lot to hand over...especially if you're unsure of getting it back...but as crazy as it may seem, and I know it does, excellent credit takes years to build and only 1 bad month to ruin...and it lingers for YEARS!  Again, good luck!

  • HT4009 I purchased an upgrade inside the free app, however it shows I paid for the free app & now I can not download the full version.  What should I do?

    Finish the download on your computer in iTunes and then sync the app to the iPad and then delete it. You will probably have to let it fully download before you can delete it.
    You can try restarting the iPad and see if the download will resume - Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Yoy can try  this as well and see if the download will resume. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Look in iTunes and see if there is a pending download in there that might be causing the delay. If there is a download there, try to finish that one first.

  • TS1702 in app purchases - who is responsible if I don't receive something I paid for?

    I purchased some in app currency and it failed to deliver as my iPad locked up.
    I checked my account and it was debited.
    Whenever I try to go to the "Report a Problem" point, I just get railroaded round in circles.
    Who is responsible and how the **** do I contact them.
    The game was Skylanders Lost Islands and the developer is Activision.  Their website is as useless as Apple for support assistance.

    By the way, that is not the f-word they have crossed out.  It is a refererence to the devil's home.  Apparenlty not appropriate these days.

  • My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

    My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • HT6032 If I paid for full version iOS7 Garageband, why are iMac Garageband sounds still locked?

    Hi all
    My issue is that I purchased the full Garageband App for iPad on iOS7 but my iMAC shows that the full sound set is still locked. I can transfer ideas from iPad to iMAC as Garageband songs no problem. I can use the full sound set on the iPad but just not on the iMAC.
    I tried contacting Apple directly but have received no reply or acknowledgement.
    I use a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo iMAC with OSX 10.9.1
    My Garageband on the iMAC is version 10.0.1
    Can anyone tell me if I'm entitled to Garageband on the iMAC without paying again?
    If so, how do I fix the problem?
    Thanks!

    I can understand your irritation, but as I see it, it is not really a break in Apple's policy, it is just a very unfortunate and misleading naming of two very different products.  I suggest to use the feedback form and write your post above to the developer team. This way, they will know about the problem. Use the form below:
    Apple - GarageBand iLife - Feedback
    When I buy a product in one device, I don't expect to have to pay for the same product in another device or computer (especially when they have exactly the same name!)
    Just a few notes on this:  You can use GarageBand iOS on many different devices, as long as they are able to execute the program. My GarageBand iOS is running on an iPod Touch, an iPhone 5s, an iPad 3, with only one purchase. All devices are able to run the iOS operating system and have processors, that can execute the code.
    The same goes for GarageBand iLife. It will run on any Mac with an Intel processor, that can run a reasonably new version of MacOS X.
    Have you noticed, that both GarageBands do really not have much more in common than the name? The iOS version for mobile devices is mainly a program to play and perform music using the iPad sceen , e.g as a musical touch instrument - as a guitar or keyboard, and you can jam along. The Mac version is better for arranging and mixing music or editing tracks and adding effects, but it does not support playing music very well. You need real instruments.

  • Do I have to pay for the In-App-Purchase of the new GarageBand-version if I already paid for GarageBand before?

    Hi there!
    I am using GarageBand for some months now and I´m really happy with that software. Yesterday the new version (2.0) was released and it is now for free. However if you want the whole bundle you have to get the available in-app-purchase. This however means having to pay once again for something I already paid for, correct?
    Or is the in-app-purchase for free to those people who already paid for the app?
    Thank you very much!

    Just tried - sign in to the account you used to buy the software and click restore purchase. The old Garageband users are automagically given the full version by internal systems of Apple.

  • I have bought garageband when it released for $5. Have done several songs on it. Now that it has gone freemium, none of these songs opens because "they use instruments that are not installed". Am I supposed to pay for it a 2nd time?

    Shouldn't I be expecting the instruments that came with the $5 version I bought long ago, would remain mine to use, after Apple decides to go the freemium route? I'm feeling ripped, here, and not happy at all that I have to buy GB a second time (it's another $5) so I can access the old songs made on the app.

    How did you upgrade to GarageBand 2?
    When I updated from the previous version, all previously bought insruments were automatically there,
    like described in this review: http://www.maclife.com/article/ipod_and_iphone/garageband_20_ios_review
    If you’re upgrading from a previous paid version of GarageBand, you’ll automatically get the full instrument set, otherwise some of the instruments appear dimmed out, requiring a single $4.99 in-app purchase to unlock everything. We really wish that Apple would provide some other premium add-on features to enhance its abilities – perhaps a decent compressor and equalizer – but you can still bring your iPad compositions directly into the desktop version of GarageBand for further sweetening, and the new support for AirDrop makes collaboration with other users in the same room fairly painless.
    You must have made something differently - did you uninstall GB 1.4 first?
