My iMac restored. how do I retrieve Apps allready downloaded and paid for?

iMac, processor speed 2.7GHz, memory 16 GB, capacity, 999.35 Gb
iMac bought by my son less than 2 years ago. Gifted to me after he retored iMac to factory settings. He had downloaded 2 Apps, Pages and Numbers, they are not on the machine now. I updated OS to Yosemite. Can I retrieve apps without further payment.

Legally he bought the apps. So you'll have to buy them yourself.
However, one of the new features in Yosemite is the Family Share. So he should be able to "invite" you into his Family Share plan and then you'll be able to see the purchases and download/install them. But I honestly don't know if this will work on past purchase or not. It's worth a try though.

Can't find the app I downloaded and paid for!

I downloaded the Wall street journal app and it is not showing on any of my iPad screens! When I go back to the app store it says it is downloaded. Any ideas on how to find the app?

Try a reset and see if it appears after the iPad has restarted : 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

How do I retrieve all the itunes I paid for on my replacement phone, I never backed up my previous one before it broke

How do I retrieve all the songs I paid for through itunes on my 3gs, I never backed them up on my previous phone before it broke ?

You need to download and install iTunes 10.3 on your desktop. Log in to your iTunes account.
On the left side of iTunes is an entry under STORE called "Purchased". Click on it, and a list of everything you bought opens in the right window. There's a button at bottom left "Download Previous Purchases".
Note: Until iTunes 10.3 and iCloud beta you could not do this. You would NOT have been able to get your music back. Please use iTunes to back up your iPhone, or you risk losing everything.
And to anticipate a possible response: the pre-10.3 situation was NOT an Apple decision - ti was because the music corporations would not allow re-downloading.

I have recently purchased a macbook pro and i gave my macbook to my wife, how can she recover the apps i bought and paid for so she can use the Pages, Numbers and Keynote

If you bought/paid for them in the Mac App Store, you would just need to sign in to the MAS with the Apple ID you used to purchase them, go to purchases, and click install.
As for the limited licensing that Bordy brought up, the TOS for the MAS states:
"Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use."
If you installed them from an iWork disc, just pop the disc back in and reinstall.

I just downloaded and paid for Premiere elements but now want the combined Premiere and Photoshop elements. How do I do this?

My headline says it all. I would like to turn my Premiere Elements order into the combined Premiere and Photoshop Elements download offer. I have already paid for Premiere Elements but would like to take advantage of the combined offer for only another $40 or so. How do I do this?
I only downloaded and paid for the Premiere Elements package about two days ago.

Did you purchase Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe Direct? If so, are you within 30 days of that purchase? If the answer to both of those questions is Yes and it appears to be, then you should explore
Contact Adobe Chat clicking on the following link
Contact Customer Care
Premiere Elements
Membership, Account, Payment
Payments, Invoices, Orders
Chat Panel
If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
Under the conditions mentioned at the beginning of this reply, I am speculating that Adobe should be able to give you your money back for the Premiere Elements 13, allowing you to purchase Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements which are sold together, but are still really standalone products. How Adobe opts to do that is at its discretion.

What do you mean it's lost? Did you actually put it on the new computer?
Simply installing iTunes and logging into your account does not cause content to magically appear.

TS4036 When I backed up my phone I lost the ringtones I had downloaded and paid for, how do Iget them back

when I backed up my phone I lost the ringtones that I purchased how do I retrieve them?

Have a look here... Here-

HT201209 I have downloaded and paid for an app that is not working. It has no sound.

I have paid for and downloaded a book app - for my grade 2 students to use. It downloaded fine, but has no sound. It is "Go away, Big Green Monster' by Ed Emberley - I have deleted and downloaded it several times - but it still has no sound? What do I do to fix this problem or get my money back?
My next question is that I have bought and put in an itunes card to use on my ipad - but when I buy an app the ipad is still using my credit card and is not redeeming my itunes gift card - what to I do so that my gift card is used rather than my credit card?

If you open the App Store and go to Updates (on the bottom) and then Purchased (near the top), you will see your app there and you can download it again.

HT201359 I have downloaded and paid for two album which haven't been uploaded to my I tunes. How do I get them on or get a refund?

I tunes won't give me my music I paid for..

Hello,
    Do you remember any of the names of the yoga classes you downloaded?
If you do try searching your iPad for them using the search function.
    On your iPad's home screen, use one finger and slide down to revel the search box, and then type the name of one of the classes. It's possible that the files are located in a different area.
     Also is your iPad sync'd to another computer in your house? Are these audio files and video files? Can you download them again from yogadownloads.com ?
    I hope some of these ideas work for you, good luck.

I downloaded and paid for a Adobe PDF Pack and received my invoice and order number, but my computer request a serial number. How do i get a serial number

I need assistance with my Adobe PDF Pack serial number

PDF Pack does not have a serial number. And you do not install it.
You just sign in and start using it.
So your problem leads me to think you may be trying to install something entirely different - perhaps Acrobat Pro.

I am going to have to restore my iTunes to a prior date, how can I retrieve apps purchased after the chosen restore date?

I appear to have "lost" many of the songs, and videos, in my iTunes. The songs/videos show, but when I attempt to access them, it says it can't find the file and offers to search. In the search the song/video shows, but is greyed out. If I restore I tunes to a prior date, how do I retrieve apps that were purchased after the chosen restore date?
Thanks,
Dale

Icloud is made up of many services. you may choose to use or not use any or all of these services. One of the many services it provides is that it allows you to redownload past purchases.
"I prefer to keep all of my information on my Mac, and a local backup drive."
As you should. That is why, if you have lost your comtent, you should redownload that lost content from icloud to your computer and back it up, using the directions I provided to you.
"lso, I don't recall setting up a iCloud account. "
Does not matter at all. You do not need an icloud account. Forget you ever heard the word icloud. Perhaps if we stop using that word, you will understand. Itunes now allows you to download your past purchases again - instead of the one download only rule that has existed orior to now. You can download your purchases to your computer again.
You seem to be getting hung up on the word icloud, so imply forget you heard it.
Follow the direction in the link I provided to download the songs, etc that you have lost. Once downloaded, they will once again reside on your computer where you can back them up and sync them to device as you always have.
nothing at all changes.
Hope this helps.

Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.
