Is it possible to redownload apps i bought a while ago

ok so i bought apps a year or so ago and then upgraded to a new pc and now itunes wont let me download my apps it says all apps have been physically downloaded what gives how do i fix this as i never backed up my apps

No. Apps are always tied to the ID they were purchased under.and can't be moved to another ID.
Log on as the old ID and that should allow you to get it.

  • I've recently change my Apple ID email so I've recently  went to the App Store to download some apps that I've bought a while ago and none of them are showing. I've also searched for the app and wants me to buy it again.

    Do you remember the old Apple ID and password?  If so try using that.
    Otherwise contact support at the App Store:

  • A movie I bought a while ago will no longer play, instead it just shows a black screen and no audio. All of the other movies in my library play fine. Any ideas as to whats going on or how to fix it? Thanks for any help.

    Hi 22chill,
    I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

  • TS1702 why does itune store ask me to buy the apps I bought several years ago?

    I bought iwork and other apple apps one year ago. However, I was ask to pay for them again today when I tried to  download from itune store. Please help me to fix this.

    If they were bought via the same account (and you still in the same country) then you should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iOS device, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

  • Can't find a movie I bought a while ago

    Bought it on one mac, viewed it on my iPhone. Then somehow, it's gone from both. I can't find it locally by searching the title name. I can't see any way to get it again from the iTunes store.
    Did I just flush $15 bucks down the toilet? If so, I'm remembering now why just buying the DVD is better in the long run...

    yes. It was synced to my iPhone for a while after I watched it. Then at some point it got unchecked, and didn't realize that if you un-sync it from an iPHone, you delete it somehow. I figured it was still on my hard drive somewhere.

  • Redownload apps on new phone

    Hi all,
    I recently bought a N97, and also downloaded/bought some apps from ovi store. But because of a failing gps on my first N97, I now have another N97. I managed to migrate contacts etc using bluetooth, but my apps are gone.
    I thought ovi would have something to redownload bought applications, but appearently not.. How can I get my bought apps back?
    The same applies for games from n-gage...
    Everything is done through accounts, why isn't it possible to reinstall apps and games? Or am I missing something?
    Thanx in advance!

    Might want to check which Itunes/Apple id was used to download the APPs. Right click on the APP in the library and go to info, it will tell you which account was used to get the APP. If it is a different account than what you expect, just authorize the computer for that account too. Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 for more information.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • How do I transfer to other person the apps I bought?

    Hi, folks!
    I´ve bought an McBook Air and gave my iPad 1 to my daughter. Since I´ll not use the apps I bought for the iPad (in fact a lot of them), and probably will not buy another one, I´d like to transfer the apps to her. It would be possible? She has an account at App Store for her iPhone.
    Thanks.
    AA

    Teh only way she can keep access to those apps is to continue to use your APple ID (Or the ID they were bought under). Which also means she can't keep her iPhone as it is and sync anything with the iPad.
    She either keeps your ID on the iPad and keeps two different ID's for two different devices (something she'll have to be aware of when she syncs them or buys other apps) or she'll need to wipe the iPad and start over with her ID. (which means she'll lose your apps)

  • My download did not work. how do i get the app i bought?

    How do I get the app I bought but download failed, but is marked downloaded?

    Hey there petertoledo,
    It sounds like an application was downloaded from the Mac App store but it is not working correctly, and you cannot redownload it. Use the following info to delete the incomplete/non working application first:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph11356
    Uninstall apps
    To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
    To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your computer. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
    Then download it again from the Mac App Store with the following article:
    Mac App Store: Finding your purchased apps

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Redownload apps..?

    I bought creative cloud today and downloaded some apps. In the apps section on the creative cloud window it says that InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator are all up to date. However I can only find InDesign on my computer and am unable to download Photoshop and Illustrator as my laptop seems to think they are already on here!? Is there a way I can redownload them?! Or any other solution....
    Thank you!!

    I should specify that I can redownload apps through the update tab in the App Store. However, I've been able to redownload apps by going to a specific app and it gives me the option to "Download" instead of "Purchase".

  • Hi I bought the oxford dictionary app a while ago and it worked fine . Now with the new iOS it starts and closes instantly. I don't want to buy it again. Who can I turn to?

    Hi I bought the oxford dictionary app a while ago and it worked fine . Now with the new iOS it starts and closes instantly. I don't want to buy it again. Who can I turn to?

    Try closing the app via the device's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then 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.
    If the app still doesn't work then try deleting the app from your device and redownload it (assuming that it's still in the store) via the Purchased tab in the App Store app - or resync it from your computer's iTunes (if you don't have a copy of the app in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library then copy it over via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases before deleting it).
    If that also doesn't get it to work then contact the developer.
