I tried to install the Watch ABC (a free app) on my iPad from the AppStore. It would not download. I attempted to install it a second time, and got the message "You've already purchased this, so it will downloaded now at no additional charge." Any advice? This is a fee app so I do not understand the message referencing a purchased app. I get the cloud symbol, but it will not download. I closed the App Store app and restarted my iPad, but to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen. Not the main one. Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

I've tried to download an app that I used to have but deleted. I get the message "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional charge." BUT it won't download.
Are you certain you have enough memory left on your device to accommodate the app? Also, are you certain that an iOS 8-compatible version has been released by the developer? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then try downloading it via an iTunes sync.

Has anyone ever lost a ringtone that they purchased and downloaded a ringtone and then it just completely disappeared? When I tried to download it again I got the message "You've already purchased this item; are you sure you want to buy it again?"

iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie. When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
I follow the instructions, but the download still doesn't resume - err = 11111
Any advice?Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.

'You have already purchased this item, would you like to buy it again?' ISSUES
This has happened to my twice now. I have bought songs on itunes, then at some point deleted the song from my itunes library and told it to hide it in the cloud or whatever. I only do this so that the songs that are not in my itunes library do not show as being in my itunes library.
Then, at some point I will decide that I want that song again. So, I go into itunes store and search for it in purchased, and it does not find it. So I then search for it in itunes store again, and it shows it there with the 99p next to it. So, I click on it to buy it, and it shows the message 'You have already purchased this item, would you like to buy it again?'. At first, I clicked no, and was back to square 1, without a song and it still showing the 99p next to it. So I did a search on google and found an article that said as far as I understand to just click buy and it would offer for me to re-download it for free.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090803000006AAKNkBB
So, I did that and it charged me for it.
Like I said, it has happened to me twice now, where I remeber buying a song, then hiding it in the cloud, and having to buy the song again. What can I do to stop this?? Is it a bug that I have to buy it again??
Thanks for your help, DannyYou read a very old article that applied only to apps.

HT201272 You've already purchased this In-App Purchase
I'm trying to make a purchase inside of a game I'm playing on my iphone 5. I've done this many times already, but yesterday I tried to make a purchase and I received the message "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase but it hasn't been downloaded." The item I purchased is not available to me and I don't know how to download it. In the past, when I made in-app purchases, they went through immediately. There was no separate downloading.
I've synced my phone to iTunes on my computer and there's nothing that I purchased in need of download that I can see.
Can someone tell me how to deal with this message?I am using consumable product so I can purchase multiple time but same problem

You've already purchased this item, but it hasn't been downloaded.
I don't have App sync on (have tried it with App sync on and off), my Mobile Applications directory on my Mac is empty.
When I go to update my apps per the iPhone's App Store program, they download and then I get this message:
+You've already purchased this item, but it hasn't been downloaded.To get it, open iTunes on your computer, select Check for Purchases, then sync your device to your computer.+
I did this, yet the problem remains. Have restored to factory settings and after installing my apps again, the next time one updates I get this error and despite my following the directions above, the error persists. Anyone know of a fix for this little circle?Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon.

I need help. I'm trying to buy an in app purchase for FarmVille 2: Country Escape. And it says "you've already purchased this it hasn't been downloaded. I am using iPad Air and it's up to date.
Hi Neha
I'm afraid I got stuck again with the popup "You've already purchased this... " as well as the occasional prompt for my Apple ID password.
(I do make the call to finishTransaction on each callback i.e PURCHASE_TRANSACTION_SUCCESS, PURCHASE_TRANSACTION_CANCEL and PURCHASE_TRANSACTION_FAIL)
When I print out the list of pending transactions, I can see a number of them with the "...error: Cannot connect to ITunes Store:2 originalTransaction: null"
My question is, what happens if for some reasons the call to finishTransaction doesn't work (I'm guessing this is one of the scenarios that happened here)?
Just having the call to finishTransaction in the callback doesn't necessarily mean it will be successfully exceuted all the time.
What would you suggest in this scenario?
How would I know how to process those pending transactions? At this stage, I have no info on whether those transactions were successful etc?
I'd rather not have to interfere with Apple's handling of transactions but clickin on the popup button to download it doesn't seem to have any effect... Is this only a Sandbox issue too perhaps? *hopeful here
Thanks! -
I am trying to download UCbrowser which is fine on my iPhone 5C but unable to download on my iPad2, It shows on cloud but I couldn't download, I tried to change date but still no go, It says "you've already purchased this so this will be downloaded now" but never downloads
Close the App Store app, reset your iPad and then try again.
To close the App Store, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I want to gift a season that I have purchased. When I select the season I am not given the gift option, only "you have already purchased this season" Help....I'm trying to give Apple money here!
Another poster said that if you sign out of your iTunes Store account, go to the item you wish to gift, and select "gift" and go through the purchase process, it will then ask you for your account information and send the gift. I haven't tried this myself, but it's worth a go.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

Apps - Download All Free Updates - You have already purchased this item
I have an iPad and iPhone, and over the past few months I've noticed that iTunes keeps getting confused when trying to download app updates.
So right now if I run iTunes, it shows that there are 16 updates in Apps. I click on Apps and then click the "16 Updates Available" link at the bottom right. This opens the "My App Updates" view. I then click "Download All Free Updates" and get a prompt that says:
You have already purchased this item
You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu.
This is confusing because:
I have no idea which of the 16 app updates it is talking about
I'm not told why it has not been downloaded
Check for available downloads doesn't do anything.
I can get around this problem by manually downloading each update individually, syncing and trying an update again. But after a few weeks I get more updates and the problem starts all over again.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Cheers

In iBooks,what does it mean when it says: you have already purchased this item. To download it check available downloads in the store menu?
Apologies if I seem rude but isn't it obvious?
you have already purchased this item means you have already purchased this item - you don't need to buy it, you've already bought it.
To download it check available downloads in the store menu means to download it check available downloads in the store menu. So if you look at your top menu bar (in your iTunes programme) select the Store and from the menu that appears, select Check for available downloads. My guess (and I realise I'm risking my reputation here ) is that when you click on that, you will see a list of the items you've bought which will include anything you haven't yet downloaded to your iTunes. I assume there will be an option with that list to download those items.
I would like to thank the person who thought of the idea of taking different words and putting them in a certain order, so that those words form a sentence, and that sentence can then be read by other people and those people understand. Genius!
