Purchased apps do not show up on my mac book air?

How do I sync my purchased apps to my new macbook air?  They do not show up in the app store under purchases.  I do see all of them in my itues account, but do not know how to sync them to my macbook?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
From what you say, you probably got those purchased apps from the iTunes App Store.
Those apps can only be used in iPhones, iPads and iPods touch, and the only thing you can do on a Mac is to store them, not run them. Anyway, if you want to download them, you need to open iTunes and redownload them > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

  • HT4928 my purchased apps do not show up on my mac book but they do if i log in on my iPad,they are not hidden either, why is this?

    I have purchased loads of apps on my Ipad including pages and numbers, I want to use then on my new mac book pro so i logged in to my app store account and none of the apps I can access on my ipad show up in my "purchased" area. they are not hidden under my account settings either, how do i get them on my mac book, I have logged in to the app store via my ipad and theey are all on there, am I being a dumb fool? this is the first Macbook i have ever owned and dont know my way around, any help please!?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Apps for the Mac and apps for the iPad are different and they can't be installed on the other one. Also, the iPad apps you purchased are on the App Store, and the Mac apps you purchase are on the Mac App Store, so you can't get your iPad apps on the Mac App Store.
    In your case, you have to buy Numbers and Pages for Mac on the Mac App Store, because OS X and iOS are different operating systems

  • ICal icon on my Mac Book Air displays a circled number at the upper right corner as does Mail for new emails - how do I find out what item(s) that number is referring to? And why does it show up on the Mac Book Air and not my 4S iPhone?

    A circled number appears in the upper right corner of the iCal icon on my Mac Book Air. What does it mean? How do I resolve it? Why doesn't it appear on my 4S iPhone via the iCloud?

    Glenn,
    That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification. Since OS X 10.7.2 is required for iCloud integration, I am not surprised that there are anomalies between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro.

  • TS1702 Some of my purchased apps are not showing in iTunes...

    I'm using the latest version of iTunes for Win8.
    1 day after restoring a backup on my iPhone 5, some of the apps that was previously loaded in from the restoration disappeared somehow. Later on when I tried to download the apps from iTunes, they did not show the disappeared apps at all. It showed on my iPhone that I did purchase these apps, however, it is not being shown on iTunes. What's going on here?

    Hello there, Gozieson.
    Since the apps are showing on the iPhone you might want to review this Knowldge Base article:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    If they are still not showing on your phone either, then this should help:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • All Purchased Apps still not showing up even after iTunes Update

    Even after getting lates iTunes update I am only see 88 of my purchased app versus 2134. Is anyone else experiencing a proble see their purchaed apps in iTunes?

    Yes, I am using only one Apple ID. The problem, since iOS 6, is the App Store purchased items screen just shows a spinning wheel until it finally crashes or gives the error message 'can not connect to Apple store'.
    I can see my purchased apps on the Mac iTunes but not on any on my devices that have been updated to iOS 6.

  • HT4483 Purchased apps do not show in ipad app store

    The IOS 7.0.6 update forced me to restore my iPad to factory defaults.  When I tried to  re-download purchased apps from the App Store, no apps showed on the Purchased Apps page.

    If you've been able to download apps on it then you are signed into your acocunt on it. You haven't changed countries since buying/downloading them ?
    Try tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and sign out of your account, and then sign back in (you should get a Sign In button where your id is currently showing) and see if your apps then show in the Purchased tab

  • Purchased apps list not showing up on iPhone 4S after upgrade to iOS6

    I have a 4S and reloaded from the factory image after having experienced the wi-fi problem.  Now I can't see the list of my previously purchased apps so I can re-download them. I ave tred several times with no success.
    I also lost the capability of seeing all my previously uploaded Photostream pictures, which I can see from my iPad no problem
    Any ideas on either issue? Thanks for your assistance.

    I had exactly the same problem, and after exhausting all the other generic tips out there, the following worked for me:
    Plug the phone into power, and restart by holding down the power and home buttons. Leave the phone plugged in to recharge to 100%. It appears to reset the battery calibration and things are back to normal.
    The key symptom was the phone restarting or powering down even though the battery indicator was at 20% or better.

  • External Hard Drive not showing up on my Mac Book Pro

    My WD 1TB hard drive is not showing up anywhere on my computer. It use to simply pop up on my background. 1 minute is was working and I unplugged it then i plugged back in to transfer more data over I forgot about and it wouldn't show up. I've also checked disk utilities and dont see it there. I've tried plugging in to other macs with the same issue. Any  help would be greatly appreciated. I have about 800 gigs of photos on this and dont want to lose it!

    SInce you said " I've also checked disk utilities and dont see it there. I've tried plugging in to other macs with the same issue. "
    That would indicate a problem with the external drive.
    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Can you hear the drive spin?
    - Do lights light on the drive?
    - If you go to About this Mac>System Report>Hardware>USB is the drive and/or enclosure listed?
    BTW, this is the Mac Pro desktop forum

  • Brand new superdrive not working w brand new Mac Book Air

    Hi, just came home from Apple Store today with new computer and superdrive, which is not showing up when plugged in. When I put a CD in it reads it for a few seconds then spits it out. I am on the road so getting to an Apple Store will not be easy for the  next week. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    A number of users have had this issue because the superdrive was upside down.  They were basically putting the CD in "upside down".   Silver side up.
    I Apologize in advance, just thought I'd throw it out there... 

  • HT1296 my iphone 4 will not sync with my new mac book air. It says that syncing failed to start. Any suggestions?

    My iphone 4 will not sync with my new macbook air. It says that syncing refused to start. Any suggestions?  FYI - all my apps and software are updated.
    Thanks,
    Jodi

    Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

  • Apple tv not recognising home sharing with mac book air

    Apple TV has worked fine in the past but now it is saying I need to turn on home sharing to find my computer. Home sharing is turned on my MacBook Air - nothing has changed since it last worked. I turned Apple Tv on and off again and tunrned home sharing on and off but still no go. Any advice appreciated.

    Hi there Keryn62,
    It sounds like you haven't changed anything, but you are unable to use Home Sharing between your Apple TV and your computer, even though you have verified that they are both signed into the same Apple ID. I would use the rest of the troubleshooting in the following article:
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My apps do not show up on purchased list on the iPhone!

    My apps do not show up on purchased list on the iPhone even I see them on iTunes store apps. That happened after that I changed my Appple ID email adress.

    Go to Settings/iTunes & App Stores and sign out. Then sign in with your new Apple email ID.

  • How do I get back lost apps that we're purchased ($50) but not showing up as purchased after IOS6

    I did the latest update and lost all my apps. It was not synced before the restore. How can I get my apps back that I paid a lot of money for? They are not showing up as purchased. When I go to the apps I know I purchased it does not show that it was purchased or installed ? Can I get those previously purchased back without paying for them again?

    As long as there is not another instance of that app on the device, you should. Just keep in mind, that as apps require updating, you'll have to sign in with different id's to update. Depending on how many apps and overall content is installed on your device, this could become confusing.

  • HT201272 I purchased Words with Friends on my iPad. I then purchased an iPhone, however, this app is not showing up under "purchased". How can I download to iPhone without paying for it again?

    I purchased Words with Friends on my iPad. I then purchased an iPhone, however, this app is not showing up under "purchased". How can I download to iPhone without paying for it again?

    Which version did you buy on your iPad ? If you bought the HD version then that is only compatible with the iPad, so you will need to buy the iPhone/Pod version (or download the free version) if you want to use it on your iPhone.

  • My apps are not showing up on new iPad when I sign in to iCloud

    I got the new iPad and when I log into iCloud to down load previous apps it's showing that they have not been purchased

    When you log into iCloud where? On your computer? If that is what you are doing your apps do not show up in there.
    If you want to set up the new iPad from an iCloud backup - read this.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
    Your purchased apps show up in the app store - purchased music and TV shows in iTunes, purchased books in the iBooks app - look in the purchased tabs of all of those apps for purchased content.
