Not recognizing previously purchased ipad apps

Hello,
I'm having all sorts of problems. I purchased Catan HD for my Ipad a few days ago, and did it by downloading to Itunes then syncing with the Ipad along with several other apps.
Well, Catan HD had several in app options that I wanted to purchase but the game wouldn't let me saying there was an error. So I decided to log out in the "Settings->iTunes & App Stores" and log back in after turning it on and off, and it gave me the message that "this application was bought with another ID." Well, looking at previously purchased items in iTunes, it's right there that I purchased it from iTunes with my @me.com account. So I deleted it and thought I'd try re-installing it.
Now, if I go into iTunes in my iPad to download directly, it wants to charge me all over again. It should realize that I have already paid for it. So, what gives? Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

I separated most of my Applications into folders hearing that that's how they'd be sorted in the upcoming OS X Lion,
I'm pretty sure that these groupings are a feature of the Launcher in Lion and it has no effect whatever on where the apps are stored in the Applications Folder.

  • Mac App Store not recognizing previously installed Apple applications

    Mac App Store is not recognizing previously installed Apple applications (Aperture 3; iLife'11; iWorks'09) as already purchased and installed. These were installed either via download from the Apple Store or from install discs. Prior to the 10.6.7 update, at least some of these applications were recognized as already installed by the Mac App Store. This is no longer the case.

    However, it now says that the software that came with my Mac Book Air (iLife) and other software must be re-purchased!
    No, it doesn't say you must re-purchase them. You can continue to use those apps as they are. There is no requirement for you to re-purchase them. If you wish to have lifetime updates, you can purchase the version on the app store which will give you that. However, you still have the same license to use those bundled apps the same as everyone else.
    This is wrong, at least for the Mac Book Air 2010 and forward purchases because of Mr Jobs announcement back in October.
    What did he say that makes you think that?
    No! Apple must make good on this. Why should Apple give me iLife with an MBA and tell me that I'm getting an App Store and then deny those software to be excluded from being "installed"? This is wrong.
    No, you are wrong. You received the standard bundled apps that were bundled with every other Mac. The App store only reports on apps actually purchased from the app store (apparently correctly, now). Your bundled apps were not purchased from the Mac App Store. They were bundled with your Mac.
    Apple reps (you guys here)
    They are not, at least the ones you wish to talk to.
    MUST escalate this issue for computers/software purchased from that October announcement and understanding.
    Why? You didn't buy a "Mac App Store" bundle with your Mac. As I explained above, you received applications bundled with your Mac. They still work. You have not been cheated in any way.

  • It says "this device is already associated with another apple ID" and it will not download previous purchases.

    It says "this device is already associated with another apple ID" and it will not download previous purchases. This is a new iPad 4 as my last iPad 4 was stolen. How can I fix this issue, can I fix this issue?

    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset and Erase all Content
    This returns the iPad to its original state then setup the iPad as new.

  • HT203167 I can not find previous purchases

    I can not see previous purchases ,and I can not up date any apps

    If you are trying to see your purchase history then you should be able to do that on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) drop-down menu.
    If you are wanting to re-download past purchases then not all content types can be re-downloaded in all countries (e.g. music, films, tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all, and audiobooks and ringtones can't be re-downloaded anywhere), but what you can re-download whould show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes and App Store apps, and via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

    Try resetting your iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • You are not authorised to purchase from app store

    I downloaded a free app. Then I wanted to buy the full version and it keeps giving me this  "you are not authorised to purchase from app store". I'm entering the pass correctly..
    I recently renewed my credit card recently, and I updated my payment info in app store.
    I tried to sign out from the acc. And sign in again . I did not work.

    Are you sure you didn't change the store location by accident or maybe enter your new card number or security code incorrectly by mistake?

    Depends on where you got it - if it came on yoru compujter then you need to have accepeted it in the App store - and it will be in your purchases when you log in with the Apple ID that you used to set up your computer - it mahy be hidden - if you do not find it unhide applications in teh App store

  • You are not authorized to purchase from app store

    I downloaded Virtual City Playground from Mac app store. During playing this game, I want to buy Invest Points，but there always appears  "you are not authorized to purchase from app store"
    Does someone can help me?

    Hi..
    According to the support page for that app...
    I am playing Virtual City Playground on my Mac and I want to buy invest points. When I try to make an in-app purchase, I get a message saying “You are not authorized to purchase from the App Store”. I have checked my App Store account and it works properly. My internet connection is stable. Why I can’t make this purchase? 
    Please be informed that in-app purchases for Mac are available only starting from 10.7.0 (OS X Lion).
    According to your profile, you are running v10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

    Always a good idea to check out all the support information on the app developer's website before downloading.

  • Apps won't sync to phone- not is previous purchases. Problem with apple id?

    Previously purchased apps show up in itunes but not in itunes store. They were deleted from phone during upgrade and say not authorized during attempt to sync. I'm using same Apple ID but still can't sync apps. I think this may be somehow the problem as I tried to change the email address associated with my account. I changed it back but now all record of my apps (and giftcard balance) is gone except for the fact that they show up in itunes. Any ideas on how to get my apps back on my phone? Can I somehow check what apple id my apps are authorized for?

  • Why can I not hide iPhone and iPad app purchases made from my iTunes account using the Mac version of iTunes?

    I have applications on my iPhone and iPad that I don't want to show up on the family sharing menu (i.e., kid inappropriate stuff). When I follow the instructions from apple support for hiding apps, my iPhone and iPad apps cannot be "X-ed" out by hovering the mouse over the app icons in iTunes. Why can't I hide these?

    You should be able to hide them, it's just that the 'x' is invisible (I assume that it's a bug with the current version of iTunes) - click on the app's top left corner where the 'x' should be, and it should become hidden.

  • I just made a new account and i placed the account in my ipod but now its asking me submit a payment method which i do not want to place because i do not want to purchase any app that requires money. how can i use my account without giving a payment metho

    now asks me to put in my payment method. i do not wish to place it in because i am not looking forward to purchase any app that needs to be paid for. How can i use my account but not give in my credit card data?

    Create a NEW account/ID using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • Purchased Coldplay album not in previous purchases

    I pre-purchased Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto album, and it downloaded when the album came out, and I recently synced all my music to my phone and wasn't able to play it in my car today.  I went to the iTunes app on my phone where it had some coldplay singles and songs which I had purchased, but not Mylo Xyloto.  When I got home I checked itunes and it didn't have the album in my "Download previous purchases" section either.  I found the m4a files in my media folder and added them back to iTunes, but it still doesn't show that I purchased the album before.  I do have the reciept for the album pre-order in my email.  How do I get the album added to my previous purchases?

    I am having this same issue. I emailed iTunes support from my receipt and have not had any success on iTunes support even acknowledge there is a problem. This has been going on for 2-3 weeks. Now iTunes support wants me to call for help and possibly be charged for support. I am really frustrated at this point that iTunes support doesn't act like there is an issue and just wants to push it off to another dept. Really poor! :(

  • Can't download purchased iPad apps

    I have searched these boards, Google, other boards, and have tried all of their suggestions but have had no resolution.  I have 11 iPad apps that cannot download in iTunes.  Everytime I open iTunes, they all try to download and fail instantly and I'm met with the error in the picture:
    I've shutdown my virus protection software, accelerators, etc...  I've tried the Parental Control trick, renaming the roaming folder to old and copying the preferences, command prompts, and I've been having this issue before and after updating iTunes.  It's just these though, I have been able to download new purchases since this and did two today with no problem!
    If there's any other method that I've missed that can be provided, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • Touch id option not available when purchasing an app
