OS X Mavericks - iTunes/app store account not showing past purchases

Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks (the install crashed and corrupted my HD so had to do a clean install), the app store and itunes store past purchases are not showing, or in the case of the itunes store it shows that there are 331 purchases but the list is blank and there is no option to restore/download.

Hey there yvrbill,
It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID in iTunes but when you try and download your previous purchases the list is empty.
I want to recommend signing out of the iTunes store, then restart your computer.
To sign in to or out of the iTunes Store:
In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
From: Sign in or out of the iTunes Store

After restarting your computer try to download your previous purchases again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities,
All the very best,
Sterling

  • Itunes app store is not showing screen shots (windows 7)

    Hi,
    Over the last few weeks it seems the app store isn't showing screen shots when i click to see more info about the app.  I've been looking at ipad apps, sometimes i get some screen shots but mostly i dont. I've read a thread about resetting the cache in preferences but this didn't work.
    Its really harsh not being able to see screen shots before you purchase.
    Any ideas!?
    Thanks!!!!

    Having the same issue as OP.  iPad only apps don't show any screen shots in iTunes or on the Web, but i see them on iTunes Connect.  Mac App Store applications are showing their screen shots just fine as are iPhone apps.
    Does this have something to do with widescreen on iPad, retina display??  We used high quality screen shots for our applications, the best quality the developers guide mentions.
    We double checked the Developers Reference Guide for specifications on screen shots and tried 3 of the suggested formats(JPEG, TIFF, PNG) with reso 1024x768 px but nothing has changed since thursday (june 23rd) last week. 
    0%       iPad applications show screen shots on the iTunes store for me as I write this.
    100%   iPhone applications show screen shots.
    100%   Mac App Store show screen shots...
    Anyone have any more to add? suggestions?
    I have already entered a bug report for this.
    Here's a few things that have worked for others althought they have not worked for me.  These are pulled from this community forum.

    I just found the problem, open iTunes and select Preferences > Advanced > Reset cache. This helped me, I been having the same problem for the past week.

    I tried doing
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Reset cache
    but that didn't work for me even with restarting iTunes afterward.
    However, here's what did fix the problem. Launch
    /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences
    Under the 'General' tab click both of the "Restore Defaults" buttons.
    Changes take effect after re-launching iTunes.

    iTunes uses the same Web Engine as Safari to display the store, so the Safari update could be the issue.
    Try running Repair Permissions, it is in the Disk Utility software that is in your Utilities folder.

  • Itunes/app store reviews not showing up on iPhone 4

    Is anybody else having trouble reading the reviews for the app store and itunes? I can see the number of starts and number of reviews, but when I try to read them my iPhone 4 doesn't show them. I am able to read some reviews, but for the most part it doesn't show them. I'm trying to find out if the problem is with my iPhone or the app store/itunes.

    Same here. When try to read review it will kick me back to my phones home screen.

  • Aperture purchased in app store does not show in purchased list.

      It shows as INSTALLED if looking at the app on it's individual page, but can't redownload it when it is not in the purchased list.  How do I fix this?
    It crashes on launch and I can't reinstall it.  If I move the app to the trash, the indivual page shows the purchase price instead of INSTALLED.  The other apps I have purchased show on the purchased page.

    Well this is getting very intriguing now. Unfortunately I can't see your computer's screen to verify it's not something simple... ie just not seeing the item.
    If what you say is true, then this may be something engineering may want to look at. Whatever the case, let's contact iTS and start some correspondance with an advior for now.

  • Hi everyone   I'm a new iPad user (ipad2) and have tried to download a few apps. I already have a iTunes/app store account but often when I try download a app I get a message that says "your request could not be processed"?

    Hi everyone
    I'm a new iPad user (ipad2) and have tried to download a few apps. I already have a iTunes/app store account but often when I try download a app I get a message that says "your request could not be processed"?

    It  could be a problem at the other end, try again tomorrow. Also , try resetting your iPad by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears and then let it wake up, maybe that may help.

  • Since I uploaded the new OS X Mavericks the App Store, Messages, Notes, Calendar, Maps and Preview will not launch/open. In Finder cannot find my files. Most crucially cannot upgrade OS X Mavericks software. I had two apple ID's, the old one not used

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    Welcome to the Apple community Todc.
    Besides signing out of the account, you will need to delete the apps on the device that were purchased under that ID.

  • How to upgrade to aperture 3.5 when the app store does not show the update. I did buy aperture 3 on DVD not thru the app store. what to do?

    I can not open aperture databases anymore as osx10.9 keeps telling me i have opened it with a newer version, which i have not but i understand from other discussions that thru the upgrade of iphoto osx automatically thinks that you have opened with aperture 3.5. the app store does not show me the update as i have not purchased the program thru the app store but on dvd. what to do?

    If you are running MacOS X 10.9 and Aperture is installed in your Applications folder and simply called Aperture, not Apertre 3 or something, the AppStore should be showing you the update.
    Have you already updated to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page  Aperture 3.4.5?
    Try to update manually to 3.4.5 and then reboot and sign again into the AppStore with your AppleID and look at the Update page.
    For some forum members it helped to set the main system language to English U.S. to make the update finally show.

  • Problem signing up for iTunes app store account without a credit card (cred

    I'm trying to test my friend's (free) iTunes app, and followed Apple's own instructions to get an app store account without a credit card:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
    Unfortunately, every time I try to enter my info in iTues and submit, the response is "Your credit card was declined". This is VERY frustrating as I'm choosing 'none' and trying to sign up WITHOUT a credit card, there is no credit card to be declined?! Help?

    You can only choose None for credit card if you switch to USA AppStore.
    Just while registartion choose USA.
    You should google more

    Hi Sockatume,
    Few days back I wanted to download BBM for iPhone to which I was diverted to New Zealand App Store automatically.
    So whenever I tried to download apps from the AppStore it said, I wasn't in the region which I should be that is India and being in different region I can't download any app.
    So I followed the instructions as above. After updating the region and the proceeding pages of the instruction. There was a deduction of money.
    I didn't buy any gift card or anything neither I went to that page.

  • TS1702 Updates in App Store is not showing the Apps list

    After updating iOS to 6.1 in my iPhone 4s, while tapping 'Updates' in App Store, it is not showing the Apps list, though over the icon it is showing that 11 Apps has got Updates available.

    hi
    i've had your same proble,
    you have to go on settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign out.
    after this restart your device:
    Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home buttonat the bottom center of the face at the same time.
    Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
    Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
    ok, now go to settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign in again
    ... for me it worked
    bye bye let me know if it works even for you!

  • TS1646 My credit card works on iTunes on my PC but not on my iPhone 5 iTunes/App Store account. Any ideas why?

    I am using the same credit card, and when I download an app on my PC in iTunes it loads fine, but using the same card on my iPhone 5 it declines any purchases. I have checked the card, re-entered it and checked the billing zip code. Any ideas why this is happening?

    Hi nezniezken!
    First of all, Explicit tags will only appear if your music or song is downloaded via itunes on ur idevice or itunes app.
    For example, your friend downloaded a song from itunes with an explicit content and you get or copied it to transfer to your idevice also... itunes application (pc or mac) will read it as an explicit one, but in your idevice it will not, unless you log in the apple id email account your friend used to download or buy the song to your idevice and download the purchased song. in that case u'll get the explicit tag
    Using metadata, mp3tags, or any softwares that adds "explicit tag" will only be read by Itunes app. but not on your idevice.
    Ways to check if you have a purchased music or song from itunes.
    1. All music from Itunes are M4a or AAC file.
    2. There should be a "Purchased By" and "Purchased Date" including the "Email (apple id account) and name" used for downloading the said song or music.
    (Right click the song from your library, Click Get Info and you should see it.)
    *If you have a friend telling he/she has a song bought from itunes and it is an explicit one, you will know the truth. If it has Explicit tag on his/her idevice then its bought from itunes, but if not.... he/she is lying.
    *If your friend bought a song from itunes and you tried to copied it (an explicit song for example) you will also see the "PURCHASED BY" PURCHASED DATE" "EMAIL AND NAME" etc. but u will not see the Explicit tag once you put it in your idevice, but itunes app will read it as an explicit one,
    There are many sites that are doing piracy, meaning... they are buying the song/album from itunes then upload it over the internet so other people may download it.
    I hope i helped you nezniezken!
