It's asking me to pay for Lion again, even though I already did.

I am running OSX Lion on this computer that I'm typing to you from. I paid for it from the app store.
I want to download it again so I can make a bootable copy so I can reformat my drive. When I go to the app store, its asking me to pay 29.99 for it, even though I already did.
I am 110% sure that I am signed into the same apple ID that I used to purcahse it.
I went to the purchased tab, and I saw it there, but it did not have any option to download it. Silly me, clicked the little "x" and now its not showing up in my purchased list.
What do I do?

Hi...
You may have inadvertently "hidden" the purchase.

I had to restore IPAD to original settings and lost all magazine subscriptions. Do you know how to get them back? iTunes is asking me to pay for them again...

I have an iPAD2 and an iPAD mini and tried to upgrade to IOS 7.0.6 but both froze and I had to restore to factory setting (backup also did not work!). I was able to get most of my purchased books and apps from iTUNES (through my computer) but lost all magazine subscriptions. iTUNES is asking me to pay for them again. Has anyone else had a similar problem and do you know how to restore the subscriptions without paying for them again?
Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. The applications were there but the magazines themselves could not be downloaded without paying... What I had to do was go in the application and find the "restore purchases" button. It was hidden within the account settings but it solved the problem!

GarageBand already downloaded, Mac App Store asking me to pay for it again!

I have a 2008 model of the iMac. It started out on Snow Leopard and came with an iLife '09 disc which had GarageBand. It is now running OS X Yosemite and I have updated all of my iLife apps except for GarageBand. I wanted to update it from the Mac App Store, but the App Store asked me to pay for GarageBand again! Is this supposed to happen? Is there any way around this?

No, there is no way around that, sorry.
To upgrade from your iLIfe '09 version of GarageBand to GarageBand 10.0 is a major upgrade - you can recognize a paid upgrade by the version number. If the first digits are different, it is a paid upgrade; only if only the digits behind the first decimal point change, it is a free update.
If you upgrade, don't uninstall your current version. You may want to use your GarageBand '09 loops and instruments with the new version. It has a very different set of instrument and loops.

My computer with all my files I purchased crashed, so can I download them back onto a different laptop without paying for it again as I have already pay for them?

Please will someone help me out

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Can i still buy a warranty for my ipad even though i already bought it?

Ive bought my ipad last week but i didnt buy a warranty with it, i bought it at target. But now i want a warranty in cause its damaged for any reason can i still buy one?

Of course. You can purchase AppleCare during the first year of warranty, or AppleCare+ during the 30 days after buying the iPad
In countries where Apple now offers AppleCare+, the old AppleCare plan is not available unless perhaps calling the Apple Store directly yields an exception. Only in countries where Apple does not yet offer AppleCare+ is the original plan, that you can buy at any time while the factory warranty is in effect, still generally available.
And for the original poster, you can purchase AppleCare+ up to 30 days after the purchase of the iPad, but you have to take the iPad to an Apple Store so they can certify that it's still in factory condition before you can buy AppleCare+.

I preordered a movie a while ago and received an email with the confirmation but now that it is available to everyone i can't seem to download it, it says that i have to purchase it again even though i already payed. HELP MEEEE PLEASE

help

You are sure that you've paid for it, it's been deducted from your payment method e.g. account's balance or credit card ? Pre-orders aren't paid-for when you pre-order them, you are charged when they are released and you download them - at any time up until that point you could cancel the pre-order, so you can't be charged until then.

he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

As advised, you need to call Apple about this.

Good luck.

You'll have to download again. You will not be charged if you use the same Apple ID.
Save the file somewhere before installing.

If what you previously bought is an iOS application, ensure that you’re signed into the iTunes Store with the Apple ID you used to buy it, or sync the device with an iTunes library which contains it.
If what you previously bought is a Mac OS X application, you can’t. The developer needs to create the two versions separately and may choose to charge for both.
