If I purchase an app/game on my desktop iTunes, and then delete it

and then delete it from my phone later, can I re-download it (for free of course) on my iPhone's iTunes store???? Or will it charge me again?
Because I know you're free to re-download apps you've already purchased on desktop iTunes, I just want to make sure mobile iTunes is the SAME protocol
Thank you so much

It will be a free re-download.

I got an iPhone 5 today and the apps I had backed up on cloud will open for a second then close. I have shut down and restarted, added another app to sign in to itunes and then manually added each app but it hasn't worked yet. Help!

HT1386 Because of limited internet on my iphone 5, i download updates to apps thru ITunes and then sync them to my iphone. Lately, the apps download properly and the sync seems to go thru, but on my phone, they keep saying they are updating and it never

Because I have limited internet package on my att iphone 5, I update apps on my computer thru ITunes and then sync them to my phone. The downloads seems to go thru and then install. But when I turn on my phone, the affected apps continue to say they are updating and it never goes away. I do not have wifi but when I am connected, the apps don't update. Help!!!!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Someone else bought an app on the store. I had already purchased the app before on my other computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again on MY account but...........

Someone else bought an app on the store on my new computer. I had already purchased the app before on my old computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again through MY account. When I click INSTALL it asks for ID, but it shows up automatically with the other person's ID, so I delete that and enter mine instead. I then click SIGN IN, but then it says "Unknown error", then I click OK, then it says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get rid of all info of other people's IDs so I can get the app through my account again?
The app that I'm trying to download actually might have been a pirated app. But I deleted it, so why is it not letting me get it through my account?
Please help!
Thanks

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support.
Did you try deleting the app and redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad, and contacting the developer of the app ? If you did contact them and you didn't get a reply 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

HT5622 Sir, yesterday I'm trying to purchase an app but there is some problem and 300 bukes dedeticted from my account , why?

HT201272 i downloaded a free app and then deleted it it is in the app store when i click on it it says open and tap again it goes to another screen tap on it it changes from free to install but doesnt do anything

i installed a free app and then deleted the app. under apps the app is still listed and says open, but when i tap on that it goes to another screen and when i tap on open it changes to free when i tap free it changes to light green install and tap again goes to all green install and what do i do then do not see anything to click on to make it install. what am i doing wrong. this is for a iphone 5s

The 'open' indicated that the App Store though that it was still installed on your phone.
Have you tried closing the App Store app via the phone's multitasking bar and seeing if you can install it after the phone has restarted ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar. You should be able to redownload the app by tapping on the cloud icon next to it in the Purchased tab in the App Store app
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Just configured my first iPad. Was sure I said no to iCloud , but now having tried out a few apps and then deleted them they seem to exist in iCloud. Why would this be ?.

They don't exist in iCloud.
iCloud is Apple's service for backups and App data storage / syncing.
Purchased Apps, when removed from the iPad will still appear in your Purchased history, and you can still download them from "the" cloud which is just a generic term for Apple's App servers.
Purchased Apps can de re-downloaded for free from the "cloud". To allow you to do this Apple keeps a historic list of all your purchases so you can download them again should you ever need to without charging you again for them.
This has nothing to do with the iCloud service you can choose not to use. For Calendars, Notes etc...
It is independent un unrelated.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. how do I fix this?

I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized. How do I fix this?

Hi stuartbonk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
Log in to the administrator account.
Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
Enter your iTunes account name and password.
Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
Quit iTunes.
After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
OS X
Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
Choose Go > Go to Folder.
Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
Restart the computer and open iTunes.
Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.

Hey there TowneJ,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that’ll likely resolve the issue that you’ve described, where deleted files appear to be taking up space on your iPhone 5.
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

my downloaded apps are not opening, they flash and then shut down. This hapened after i upgraded to the 5.0. How do i fix it!? I've tried everything

You need to resync you applications or redownload them for free via app store. They may be read by your phone, but they are really not there. Re downloading will fix this.

I had my schools iPad connected to my laptop on iTunes and then i looked at my iPad and i didnt have any of my apps. How do i get them back?

I had my schools iPad connected to my laptop on iTunes and then i looked at my iPad and i didnt have any of my apps. How do i get them back?

U must have synced with your library on your laptop thereby erasing the school apps , the only way to get them back on is by taking it back to school and get them to reinstall them back on using there library.

If I purchase an app/game on my desktop iTunes, and then delete it
