If I already purchased apps from my iPhone with same account, where are they?

I have purchased many apps in the last year or two with my iphone using apple apps but when I try to find those apps for downloading to my macbook air, they're not there. It makes it seem as if I need to repurchase them again using the same account. Is there something I need to do to find them?

Welcome to Apple Communities
You need to purchase them, because iOS and OS X are different and requires different apps

    thanks

    Where did you put them?
    These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you.  You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from my iPhone 5s to iTunes library?sse

    I'm trying to update my 5s to OS 8. I've gotten a pop up window that states I have purchased apps that are not stored in my iTunes library. How do I transfer apps from my iPhone to my iTunes library?

  • Sharing apps from my iPhone with my iPad

    Just got an iPad2, and currently have an iPhone.  Can I share purchased apps across both devices, or do I have to purchase them for each device?  If I can share, how do I do this?

    There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
    All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - all music, movies, tv shows, books, etc. and 3rd party apps.
    Under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, select Sync Apps and the apps you want installed on your iPad below followed by a sync.

  • HT201322 How can I hide purchased apps on my Iphone with IOS 7?

    I've hidden unwanted apps on itunes through the mac, but they still appear in my purchased items on my phone with IOS 7? any thoughts

    It appears to be a bug. Try logging out of your account on your phoneby tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and hopefully they will not then show in the Purchased tab

  • Can't import from home share with same account

    Hi all,
    I have this really annoying problem that some of the content of my iTunes library on one computer cannot be imported to the other one, because "this computer is not authorized".
    That is, of course, bollocks.
    The scenario:
    MacMini Server = mac1
    Macbook Pro = mac2
    - Both machines have itunes signed into the same account
    - Both machines have home sharing enabled
    - mac2 is the "master", it's where I buy music etc. and mac1 is the machine I use to stream off at home, it's always on etc.
    When I purchase anything new, I can transfer those purchases just fine via the import function. However, I have probably about $200 worth of music in the mac2 iTunes which _plays fine_ on mac2, however, it is not transferrable to mac1 due to mac1 not being authorized (but it is).
    Is it possible I purchased that music with a different account and somehow managed to authorize mac1 to play it? If so, how can I find out?
    Cheers
    - Balt

    I will reply with the error message as soon as I can. Thanks!
    Good-O! I'll be watching for it.

  • Recovering Photo's from lost Iphone with same apple ID?

    I lost my Iphone a while ago,
    then 6 months later my laptop crashed and could not be recovered (where my storage was of photo's etc)
    anyway, I purchused a new iphone and i have the same apple id and itunes id.
    I was wondering if I would be able to get back any of the photo's that were on my iphone that was stolen? like if icloud would of backed them up online or itunes or something like that?
    thanks

    Photo Stream only holds 30 days of photos on the server. See as you lost your iPhone over 6 months ago Photo Stream won't help. If you have a backup of the phone before it was lost you can restore that backup to a new iOS device and retrieve whatever was in the Camera Roll at the time the backup was made.
    I assume you have no backup of your computer.
    Just because the laptop doesn't boot doesn't mean information can't be retrieved from the hard drive.

  • TS4036 iphone 4 will not restore purchased apps from icloud

    only my most recent perchases (30 days or less) and my I apps restored to my iphone 4 from my stolen 3gs backup. and the app center will not allow me to download my already purchased apps from icloud. This event was the 4th failure out of 4 Attempts to restore itunes back ups on devices since I went Apple. Solid backups are far more importantace than cool. Are any other brands more reliable than apple.

    If you can't redownload purchased apps to your device as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 , contact iTunes store support for assistance: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • HT201272 why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

    Try syncing the iPhone to iTunes. If it doesn't appear, then log in to your account and check Purchased.
