In app purchase not transferring to other IOS devices

Hi all,
I did an in app purchase for 15 kid songs for my daughter from my iPhone 4s. The app itself transferred to my other 2 iPads but the in app purchase of the 15 songs did not transfer. Are there any suggestions to rocky if this
Thanx for any input.

Hello sthomp31
Check to make sure that the In-App purchase can be downloaded again. The article below will assist you further. If you can still download it and not able to, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

In app purchase not transferring

Subscriptions and replenishable In-App Purchase cannot be transferred or synced to another iOS device. Non-replenishable In-App Purchases and auto-renewing subscriptions can be transferred to another iOS device authorized with your iTunes Store account. For example, if you transfer a game from an iPhone to an iPod touch, only the game levels will sync over, the extra ammo and experience points will not be transferred.
Wanted to use the PS Express camara bundle (noise filter) on both iPad & iPhone. But at $4.99 for each device, no way.

Can in-app purchase be transfered to other devices?

I unlocked an apps puzzle on our iphone but the puzzles are still locked on the ipod touch? When you purchase in-app unlocks is it for that device only or can you transfer the purchases to other devices?

It depends on the type of in-app purchase involved. If it is a non-replenishable item such as a bonus level pack it should be possible to apply the purchase to all your devices, and reapply it after restoring a device. They are not transferred or restored automatically, but if you attempt to make the in-app purchase of the same item you should find the content is restored for free.

In app purchase not transferring from iPhone to ipad

I recently bought a metronome app that has an in app purchase which I opted for on my iPhone. It works as expected on the iPhone. However, the same app on my iPad does not recognize the purchase... it prompts me to purchase the feature to enable it. I tried removing the app from the iPad then resyncing it but that's no help. When I check mu purchase histoty on my computer the purchase shows up but from the iPad, the in app purchase doesn't show up. Anyone with similar experience have any suggestions?

This "should" fit into the "non-replenishable" category that would work with all of the user's ios devices. The app is a demo that has the full functionality enabled with the in-app purchase. I suppose it is possible that the developer misunderstood the classifications and set it up as replenishable by mistake.
If this is the case, it could be avoided if Apple would simply clearly note in the App store which category the In-App purchase is . i.e, if a customer is paying $20 for an in app purchase, it may be OK with them if they can use it on multiple devices but not worth it if they must purchase it for each device. They should be able to find out which it is before buying.

In app purchase not transferred? :(

I have just got an iPhone 4 and restored all my setting from my back-up
All my application data was copied over, except for 1 application, which was Pac-Man CE which also didn't transfer over my in-app purchases and is asking for me to pay again
Why didn't it transfer my in app purchases? I don't want to have to buy it again
Cheers

Transaction is not finished in my app that contains in app purchase, how do I debugg? I have been in contact with the apple support and the script in Actionscript 3.0 worked perfectly until I added four more items as in app purchase.
Apple tell me:
I’m not seeing the application make the finishTransaction call. If this call is not made, the transaction is incomplete. The next time the user attempts to make a purchase, they will see the alert - “You’ve areleady purchased this item and you can download it for free”.
You state that only three lines of code were changed. That may be but maybe the existing portion of code is encountering a new situation that it didn’t expect. This is what debugging is all about. You may need to engage the services to help debug this issue.
Please guide me to solve this problem. I work in Flash Professional and compile to AIR 16.
Best regards

In app purchases when transferring to a new device?

Here is my situation. My sons ipod touch is cracked so I want to transfer his data to my old iPhone 4. My hope is that I will be able to transfer all of his apps and his in app purchases over to the new device. So far I have backed up the old Ipod touch and then resored it to the iPhone. So far so good but the in app purchases have not transfered. Is there something I have missed? I just want to easily clone the one device to another.
any direction would be very welcome
Thanks

Did you follow these instructions?
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
If you restore from iTunes backup all the apps have to be in the iTunes library in order for the apps date (includes in-app purchases) to go.

Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

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.

Notification about new purchase made on other iOS device

Hi,
I would like to ask if there is an option to get notification about new purchases made on other iOS devices? Autodownload feature is cool but it's an "all or nothing" situation. I don't want to download every app to my iPad what I bought on my iPhone and vice versa.
IF I remember well, when I set up my new iPhone and made a purchase on my iPad, iPhone asked me about turning on/off autodownload. But after that I have no notification. Or my memory is bad and it didn't happened.
Thank You for your help!
Janos
P.S.: I know it is not the perfect community for my question but there is no community such as "App Store", "iOS App Store usage" as there is one for Mac App Store.

Thanks for your answer! Yes, I tried that but that's not what I would like to use.
If I turn on "Automatic Downloads" for Apps e.g. or Books, it'll download all the Apps I buy elsewhere.
I would like to get only a notification like "You've downloaded XY app on an other device. Would You like to download it now?". Is there any option for this?

What is the full message it's giving you? One thing you can check is if you have restrictions set on your iphone go into Settings > General > Restrictions and scroll down to "In-app Purchases" and make sure that is turned on.

In-app purchase not using my iTunes giftcard

I purchased an in-app permenant update on my account. My account is not connected to any credit card, but it does have $15 from an iTunes giftcard on it. The in-app purchase was $1.99. After the purchase, my account showed the same balance, $15, but the app stayed updated. Will I be billed or will my account eventually be charged?

Some apps allow the user to purchase things. For example, you can purchase an upgrade to the app which removes advertisements; or "tokens" within a game so you can advance through the game faster/easier; or upgrade from what amounts to the trial version to the "pro" version.
You can disable in-app purchases from Settings->Store if you wish to disallow them in the future. Set appropriate restrictions within Settings to prevent someone else from re-enabling in-app purchases if needed.

My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices. Having to send and receive in SMS. What is up?

My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices. Having to send and receive in SMS. What is up? Anyone else having these issues?

There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.
