Purchased button is missing

Hi everyone! I understand that since Summer 2011 a "purchased" button was added to the iTunes store in the iPad and iPhone.
Well, not for me. The button is simply missing. I reached Apple support, and they recommended me to restore the iPad, which I did, to no avail. The button is simply missing. Below is a screen shot of my iPad's iTunes. what can be wrong? Why is the button missing? Thanks!

I had this very same problem tonight on an iPad (first generation) with iOS 5.1.1.
I quitted and reopened the iTunes app several times but the Purchased button never showed up.
Then, half an hour after I noticed the problem, I opened the iTunes app one more time and saw the Purchased button in the bottom navigation bar!
I'm still seeing some strangeness, though, like the position of the button, that's at the far right of the navigation bar and not just before the Downloads button as it should be. It seems somehow broken, too, since the screen that should show me the songs I purchased that aren't already on my iPad reports two items in the left column and says that all available music has already been downloaded on the right one.
Perhaps occasionally missing Purchased buttons are the symptom of a temporary iTunes in the Cloud service issue. It could even affect only some specific accounts, it has not to be a general one.

ICal button is missing iPad 1. Any ideas?

iCal event (+) button is missing so it has rendered iCal useless. It is a recently bought iPad 1 with up to date software.
Any ideas will help!
Ian

Download the current version to a computer, sign into the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID on the iPad, go to the Purchases tab, and try downloading it from there. If you can't do it that way, not unless you have a copy of a compatible version, which may not exist.

Purchased "Moneypad app" missing in App Store. I've used that app for more than a year and all my financial records are in it. I have the backup but I need the app. How can a purchased app go missing??? Is that even legal??

I've used "Moneypad" app to record my financial transaction for over a year and I got an update today. After updating all the icons where misplaced and there were a lot of bugs in the app. The update said "Restore original app icon". So I decided to delete it and reinstall the app but now i couldn't find the application in the itunes store both through my Macbook air and my iphone 5. What do I do now?? how can a purchased app go missing? Is it even legal to delete apurchased app from the itunes store?? What happened to my money and the worst part is my records cant be used in anyother application but "Moneypad". There were 2 version of the app in the store. One was free and the other One was paid. The free app is still there but the paid One is gone!! Please respond to this issue as soon as possible! I need it to record my daily transactions or it would mess up my work a lot! Thankyou.

I did buy it long back! and now,I downloaded the free version and it requires me to buy it again to make it pro. and NO I dont have a copy of the application with me! I juz have the backup of the app data with me! and "
MoneyPad√ " is the trial version. The original version which was Rs.220 in India when i got it was named "MoneyPad" without the mathematical symbol. Please is there any way i could get that application back?? I purchased the application and i've got all rights to own it! and what do you mean by "App developers can remove their apps from the store at any time"? So Can I upload some stupid app claiming to be something else and costing around $100 and delete it as soon as someone purchases it??

There is no 'purchased' button in iTunes...

I purchased a movie in iTunes Store on my Mac, but when I locate the same movie in iTunes on my iPad, it is not marked as purchased and I don't want to pay for it twice, though I do want to watch it on my iPad, otherwise I would not have paid extra for the HD version
I found the guides here on apples site, where I sould use the 'purchased' button to access previous purchases. The only problem there is that I do not have a purchased button in iTunes on the iPad. I have it on my iPhone, but the playlist only displays purchases made on that unit, not on my account.
Is there really now way to get items purchased on my MBP onto my iPad without having to sync the device and transfer content in iTunes? Should it not be some sort of function, like in app store, where previously purchased/installed apps are "free" to install on you other devices?

Thanx for clearing that up!
Wow, so the amazing cloud-storage solution, access all you stuff everywhere, doesn't really include Sweden, we don't get the full benefit of the store since we have a limited selection compared to other countries, now there are limitations to services we actually pay for and we cannot use the high-speed 4G wireless network due to technical issues.
This is bull! Someone should loose a nut for not solving these issues, especially since the new iPad runs about 600€ here... Should probably have gone for an mb-air instead
Thank you anyway

Where on earth has the wish list purchase button gone?

It does not actually say "Buy." You just click on the price.

Free/purchase button doesn't appear in app store

there is no free or purchase button in the app store. also cannot purchase anything in itunes (no button). signed in with apple/itunes. also the apps can't be moved or deleted. when you hold the app down, it doesn't shake.

OK but I was trying to bypass the app store and use Software Download, did it redirect you to the app store?
Try this which sorts out recent issues:
delete keynote from applications folder
delete the file: .com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist from: users > home > library > preferences
shut down the mac
restart and press shift key imediatly after the chime sound
keep shift pressed until the apple logo appears
let the mac run while on the gray screen it is repairing the software and will take 10 mins or so
when the desktop appears go to applications > utilities > disc utility > first aid and repair permissions
reboot normally

I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive. I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location. After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.

I may have found an answer here:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

HT201272 I have deleted a song from my library and want to re-download it. When I access my purchased items in the iTunes store, the song has the 'purchased' button next to it and won't let me re-download. Any suggestions for things to try?

While you can redownload most past purchases without charge, you can't redownload movies without paying again. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

Is there any OSS notes to implement OR we required to set up some PF status to match above requirment.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Sridhar

If I follow you, no. That's the way it works. The buttons are composited with the background so become part of it. I'd rethink the design.
Basically, you don't want the highlights to determine the color of unselected buttons. You'll always have fringes and jaggies. Having a non-transparent color set for the unselected state kind of does what you want, but won't look the best.

HT201272 My computer died and although most things I bought came back when I logged in with my account,some audiobooks I have purchased are now missing. Ev en itunes tells me I have previously purchased them, but I still can't down load them. Any clues?

Ym computer died and although most things came back when I logged into my account, some audiobooks I have purchased are now missing. Even itunes tells me I have previously purchased them, but I still can't figure a way to download them. Any clues?
Thank you in advance

You cannot redownload audiobooks.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.. Copy them from your backup copy of your comptuer.

IOS App Store purchase buttons greyed out

So, we have two iphones and two iPads. Today, I upated one of the iPads to 6.0.1 and now, in the APP STORE, all the purchase buttons are screwed up. First, they are no longer rectangle - they are square and only showing the first few letters. Second, they are greyed out - can't depress them. All my other devices work fine, just this one. I've tried shutting down all the apps in the task bar and hard resetting the machine. I also tried logging out of my apple id and re-logging back in. Nothing works.

I solved it. I forgot that installing iOS 6.0.1 screws with your settings - randomly on each device - four devices I've installed this on and four different results. While going through settings, RESTRICTIONS were activated which presents installing apps. Also, had to relog back into Messages and Facetime. VERY un-Apple.

Previously deleted songs have greyed out "Purchased" buttons, and the items are not in the "Purchases" list.

I have several songs I deleted on an unknown date that I want to redownload. As I stated in the title, the songs I am looking for are not in my "Purchases" list, and when I search for the album the song is in the song has a greyed-out "Purchased" button. I get the same result on my iPhone, which was bought long after I deleted these songs (I assume).

It is possible that you may have deleted the tunes.

Where is the "File" "transfer purchases" button?

Where is the File>Transfer purchases button in itunes? Can't find it anywhere!

You should have a File drop-down menu at the top of your computer's iTunes - if you are using a PC with iTunes 11 on it then try pressing Alt-F and the File menu should appear (on iTunes 11 it's File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)

Purchased button is missing
