In app purchase not showing on both devices

hi, hoping someone can help... I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad 3.
I Had a free app on both devices. I upgraded to the full app (paid) on my iPhone and expected this to show on my iPad automatically. It hasn't!
When I try to use functions that are only available in the paid app on my iPad, it asks me to pay again! I have entered my apple ID just in case and it takes me to another screen to confirm I wish to pay - obviously at this point I cancel as I shouldnt have to pay again?
I've reset my iPad, uninstalled the app on both devices and reinstalled it, I've signed out of the AppStore and signed back in.
Help please!

Are you sure that the app was a universal app meaning that it can be used on both devices and would therefore be available to download again for free on either device. Some apps are iPhone only and iPad only, even though they are the same app.

  • HT4009 in-app purchase not showing

    I've been billed but the in-app purchase (itunes confirmation along with the purchase order id) but its not showing up within the game. I've contacted the game creators (popcap) but is there anything else I can do? (not heard from popcap yet).

    Hello there, broazny.
    It sounds like you're not seeing your in-app purchase for a particular App.  The following Knowledge Base aritcle offers up some great reccomendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    If you don’t see your in-app purchases - Apple Support
    Restore your in-app purchases
    You might need to restore purchases in these cases:
    You remove and reinstall an app.
    You install a purchased app on another device using the same iTunes Store account.
    Some in-app purchases like game currency or hints are consumable, meaning they run out as you use them. You can only restore non-consumable purchases. Learn about different types of in-app purchases.
    To restore a non-consumable purchase, open the app you made the purchase in and look for an option to restore. You might find it in one of these places:
    Main menu
    Settings or Options
    In-app store
    Not all apps have an option to restore. If you don't see it, follow the steps in the next section to contact the app developer.
    If you try the restore option and nothing happens, or you get an error, follow these steps: 
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID you used to make the purchase. Sign in with a different Apple ID if you need to.
    Check the restrictions on your device to make sure in-app purchases are allowed.
    Check your purchase history in iTunes on your computer to make sure you were charged for the purchase. 
    Restart your device. 
    If you were charged for the purchase and still can't restore, contact the app developer for support. 
    Contact the app developer
    Contact the app developer for support in these cases:
    You don’t see an option to restore purchases.
    You can’t find a consumable in-app purchase you made.
    You restored an in-app purchase and still don’t see it.
    iOS apps
    You can contact an iOS app developer using your computer or iOS device.
    Follow these steps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Open the App Store.
    Search for the app or find it in Purchased.
    Tap the app.
    Tap Reviews.
    Tap the app's support link under App Store Ratings.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Why do in Ap purchases not show on multiple devices (i.e. 7 Little Words)

    When I buy a new puzzle on 7 little words on my iPad that puzzle is not available on my iPhone.
    Is there a reason why I wouldn't get this on both devices after I purchase it on one?
    When I go to my new device & click to but the same puzzle it actually buys it & doesn't just download it as expected.

  • New In-app purchases not showing up in multi-issue Viewer

    Hi all,
    We created a multi-issue Viewer and got that approved together with the first in-app purchase (folio).
    The app is free and downloadable from tehAppstore and the folio can be purchased from within the app as is to be expected.
    Last week however, we've uploaded three new folio's and the have all been approved by Apple last night but they are nowhere to be seen in the app.
    Is there a known delay between approval and visibility in the app?
    Regards, Roel.

    I'm having the same problem. Latest folio, which is 'ready for sale' as an in-app purchase and 'public/retail' in Folio Producer, is not visible on the content viewer. It was only approved by Apple last night - is there a delay?

  • App Store app Purchases not showing INSTALLED apps

    Hi all,
    just updated to iTunes 10.5 and noticed that the App Store app on my devices has stopped showing apps that are INSTALLED when looking at the Purchases section, only apps that are not installed appear in the list with the Cloud icon next to them.
    Below is a link to another thread that I have posted on that has a little more info:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16327542#16327542
    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Regards..,

    Yep. I have the same issue on both my iPhone 4 and iPod 4g. It occurred about a month ago (before ios5 or iTunes 10.5).

  • Remote App: iPhone not showing up under devices

    I have the older iphone and have the newest versions of iTunes and the Remote app.
    I have the "Look for iPhones" under devices checked
    I have sharing checked.
    I changed my firewalls to the third radio and allowed incoming for iTunes.
    I've tried starting the Remote app first, and then opening iTunes and vice versa.
    Yes, they are on the same wifi connection.
    I'm stumped. Why isn't my iPhone showing up?

    Suffered for 50 minutes on this one today!
    Finally got everything to work by digging a truck-sized hole through my firewall.
    In my case I had to enable Bojour service- was for some reason disabled in my windows startup, can re-enable by Start>Run>services.msc and make sure Bonjour is set to automatic and start it.
    Also had to open up my AVG antivirus firewall settings and make sure Bonjour was not blocked.
    Also had to set my iphone's wifi ip address as a 'safe network' in AVG firewall settings.
    ALSO had to go into my router settings and specify a new application rule for routing: In the case of my D-Link DGL4300 I chose Advanced>Gaming>Add Game Rule, then gave it 'itunes remote' as name, chose my computer ip for the IP Address, then 3689 for TCP and 5353 for UDP, and Allow All. Saved that.
    Restarted iTunes and whattya know, it just worked (and I was never ever asked to enter that 4 digit passcode anywhere, soooo have no clue what the point of it is).

  • HT4009 In app purchase not showing up in game:legend of the cryptids

    I am playing 'legend of the cryptids' and purchased gems thru the game.  I have yet to receive the gems and every time I load the game it asks me for my password for itunes.  I've gotten billed twice for the gems and I have the receipts for both.  this is where it sends me when I try to 'report a problem'

    I have been having the same problem for two weeks.  LOC credited me for the gems but I have had the error messages ever since the transaction failure.  Everytime I sign in I get the two error messages and it keeps asking me for my apple ID/password same as you.  I have talked to both Apple and LOC a multitude of times trying to get the errors cleared out, to no avail.  I feel your pain.  I am sure we are not the only ones experiencing this problem.  Just dont expect a quick fix.  It maybe awhile before it gets resolved.  Somewhere there is a server sending us the error messages.  Either @ Apple or LOC.  I requested that Apple and LOC support talk, so that they can team up to figure out what is causing this problem for us.  Sorry your going through this, but good to know Im not the only one!

  • HT4009 In-App purchase not showing up even though I have a digital receipt...?

    I have a receipt that I purchased an item in-app but it never downloaded to my ipad. Went to see if I could redownload the item, but I'm going to be charged the price for the item again. [It's just a comic] I'd prefer to not get charged again, thoughts?

    The necessary links/menus you need to navigate to after clicking the Report a Problem link can be a little tricky to find. See
    Refunds from the App Store or iTunes Store
    Hope it works out for you (:

  • ITunes app purchases not showing on iPhone ?

    I have read through topics and there is nothing the same, update recently to ios4 , credited my iTunes account with a voucher , downloaded a album and three songs, none of which are showing on my iPhone in purchased playlist or anywhere on the phone. The money has been debited and I even have confirmation receipts. I rang the iPhone apple support line and after 35 mins on hold was told to email support as they could not help me. I have now sent two emails and was promised a reply within 24 hours, it's now been over 50 hours and I am getting extremely annoyed. I had no problem with os3 as this is how all my music was purchased as I don't use a computer regularly.

    Same issue here! No help from anyone. I even repurchased a song at my expense and after download it just vanishes! Is this an ios4 glitch? I don't see any similar posts either.

  • Anyone still having purchased apps not showing up in devices?

    Problem since iOS 6. Purchased apps list not showing or crashing on iOS devices.

    Purchased section of the App Store does not show up, just crashes like the way apple is slowly crashing with all their mistakes over this past year.
    Support has been a joke, just one mistake after another... For change can they actually fix something without breaking it or making it worse????

  • HT201272 I purchased Words with Friends on my iPad. I then purchased an iPhone, however, this app is not showing up under "purchased". How can I download to iPhone without paying for it again?

    I purchased Words with Friends on my iPad. I then purchased an iPhone, however, this app is not showing up under "purchased". How can I download to iPhone without paying for it again?

    Which version did you buy on your iPad ? If you bought the HD version then that is only compatible with the iPad, so you will need to buy the iPhone/Pod version (or download the free version) if you want to use it on your iPhone.
