Purchasing wrong app while trying to re-install app?

My computer died so I had to get a brand new one.
There is no "re-download all purchased app" button (which i don't under why it hasn't been implemented)
I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 to re-download my apps.
Now, I have a lot of apps I've purchased. This is painstaking.
I have to re-purchase the app before I get notification I already paid for it.
What if I accidentally purchase an app assuming I've already purchased it to reinstall?
I still have tons of apps to re-install, and paranoid I might buy something on accident.

I mentioned that my computer died.
And this is one of the reasons why maintaing a backup of all important data on your computer's hard drive is important - stored on an external drive or some other external media is important, which should include your iTunes library.
Again, iTunes also includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone.
There is zero notification that you already paid for an app until you try to purchase it.
A price to pay for not including your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data. If you don't start doing so, the same is likely to happen. It isn't a matter of if but when your computer's hard drive will have a partial or complete failure.
You can view your purchase history with your iTunes account with iTunes on your computer.

    While trying to re-install Mac OS X, appears the following screen:

    You should be able to install Mac OS X 10.7 or later on your 2011 MacBook Pro without issue, if it came with 10.6.3 as your signature suggests.  Mind you, any 2011 MacBook Pro must use the original 10.6 installer disc labelled MacBook Pro if it desires to have 10.6 installed on it.   The retail installer disc will not work on that model, nor will one from another age MacBook Pro, or other model labelled installer.  Also
    10.7 came both on USB Flash drive and Mac App Store installer versions.   Both required either 10.6.6 minimum be pre-installed, or no Mac OS X operating system on the drive or partition it was to be installed on.
    10.7.1 through 10.7.5 combo could be installed only once 10.7 had been installed.  A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.7.  Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
    10.8 came only on Mac App Store installer.  It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
    10.8.1 to 10.8.5 combo could be installed only once 10.8 had been installed.  A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.8.  Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
    10.9 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
    Both 10.9 and 10.9.1 had a serious security vulnerability, which only 10.9.2 addressed.
    10.9.2 combo could be installed only once 10.9 had been installed. 
    For all three Mac App Store releases, the partition to be installed on had to be GUID partition formatted according to Apple Disk Utility.

  • HT1386 While trying to update an app I keep getting a "cannot connect with iTunes store"message

    For some reason my iPad say I cannot connect with iTunes store while trying to update an app. I've tried all I know. Any suggestions?

    I am getting the same message. This is what I did to update my apps.
    Go to the App Store and search for one of the apps that needs an update. When the app appears in the search - there should be an Install button next to the app icon. Tap on it and see if the download will start. It worked for me.
    After over two years of owning iPads and never having had this happen before -  this is happened to me twice now in the last two weeks. It's weird, but it happens.

  • I have created my apple id.Now when I m downloading any app it is asking my credit card details again forget that I hv made multiple payments while trying to download the app but the app is not getting downloaded.It is sowing the msg cant connect to itune

    I have created my apple Id.Now when i m downloading any app it is asking my credit card details.I have made multiple payments while trying to download the app.But the app is not getting downloaded,it is showing the message cannot connect to the i tune store.What should i do to download the applications.

    Ok, first of all don't keep purchasing the application, and if you've purchased it multiple times, contact iTunes billing department immediately.  They SHOULD only send one actual confirmation in and the rest of the "pending" charges will drop off (how long that takes is up to your credit card company, not iTunes), but you should be sure.
    Second, sometimes when they are uploading a lot of new stuff at certain times it can cause the store to screw up, or any number of other reasons could be a factor why you can't connect to the iTunes store, be it on their end or on your end even.  Wait a little bit and try again via "Check for available downloads" or via your "Purchased" option on the iTunes store main page.
    IF the app you purchased isn't there and you are sure your credit card was charged, then you will need to contact iTunes to find out why you can't download the app.

  • I had this problem: "cannot connect to itunes" while trying to download an app so i went to the settings and i kinda messed it up that now i have not apps or itunes icon on my ipad! :( can anyone help me?

    I had this problem: "cannot connect to itunes" while trying to download an app so i went to the settings and i kinda messed it up that now i have not apps or itunes icon on my ipad! can anyone help me?

    First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • My Mac OS X does not restart while trying to update/install

    My Mac OS X does not restart while trying to update/install iTunes. It allows me to click on Restart button, then just the screen saver shows up, waited 10 -15mins and nothing happens.  Had to force shut to try again, same thing happens.

    As a test, try opening the PDFs using Preview and see if they will print correctly from that application. If so, then it is likely an Acrobat problem. If they still don't print correctly, it is like a file problem.
    You can also try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

    You need to reinstall the App Store.
    Use Lion Recovery to do that.

  • My iphone4s can not update the apps while it could download the apps. It shows that the update can not access to itune store.

    My iphone4s can not update the apps while it could download the apps. It shows that the update can not access to itune store. I don't know how to deal with it...

    Many people (including me) are having the same problem at present. There are other threads in the message board with the same complaint.
    There is nothing you can do about it except wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • Trying to re install apps

    I had to restore my IPAD and am trying to reinstall some previously purchased apps but they will not install...just say "waiting"
    I have tried deleting and reinstalling, restarting the iPad...no help..

    Michael ..
    Make sure you are using the same Apple ID used for the original download of both apps.

  • Mzcommerce.jmssenderror_message and error 11111 while trying to download a app.(Minecraft PE)

    So I tried to download a app,minecraft PE, and it said mzcommerce.jmssenderror_message. I then tried to download it on computer and error 11111 came up.This happened after i tried to update minecraft to 0.5.0,and it repeatedly failed, so i uninstalled it and tried to reinstall..Any help?

    Add one more disgruntled user to the list.  First noticed that I couldn't download upgrades on my iPhone.  It would prompt for password as normal, would briefly show "waiting" on the app icon and then just stops with app store still showing update.  True deleting the app and installing from iTunes.  This worked, but iTunes library had old version of app so it still showed an upgrade.  I then deleted the app from the phone and iTunes and that is when I started getting the 11111 error.  I've since discovered that I can download any new content to any of my linked iDevices, but cannot download any type of previously purchased content.  No previously purchased music not on device, no previously purchased uninstalled apps, no installed app upgrades, etc.  ALL show up in purchased content lists, but when you attemp to download it appears to be starting and then simply fails with no errors on the iDevice(s).  I've also tried signing out of my account in settings - store, performing a hard reset and then signing back in, but alas, no success.
    C'mon Apple, obviously a problem that is happening to numerous users and it started happening to us all at the exact same time.  You got us iAddicted, now give us our iFix.

  • I downloaded a free game to my ipad. Then I deleted it, and a few months later downloaded it to iphone and bought inapp purchases. When I tried to re download app on ipad, the inapp purchases don't show up.

    A few months ago I downloaded the same app for iphone and bought in app purchases. Now I can't get it on ipad. Think it reverts back to first time I downloaded it. Won't show that I purchased inapp purchases.

    The in app purchases you made were removed when you deleted the app.

    Hi Jerry,
    I agree with Nikhil, I think you have posted partial ULS log, we could not find effective errors for the issue.
    For Provider Hosted app in SharePoint server on-premise,
    the TokenHelper class will try to access your Azure Security Principle by default.
    Did you have a valid Azure account?
    If not, the issue may be caused that you don't have a valid account, to resolve this issue, you can use
    a valid Azure account or not going to use Azure Platform for hosting the app as the article
    below.

    This may be because of my inexperience with the Lenovo App Store, but whenever I start the Store app, I get an empty list of current and available apps. I did download and install Firefox cleanly, but no other installed apps are shown by the Lenovo Store app. I expected to find a list of pre-installed apps with potential updates to many of them. Am I missing something?

    Thanks to both of you. I have used the Android Market with my Samsung tablet, and it is very easy to work with. I was just afraid that Lenovo had some exclusive apps in their Store that might need to be updated. Do you think it is worth the effort to uninstall the pre-installed apps and reinstall them from the Android Market to get automatic updates?
    Yes, but you can't uninstall the pre-loaded apps unless you root the tablet. You can uninstall updates, but not the base app. I have not rooted my A1 and have no plans to do so. I am content with it the way it is. BTW I have a total of 166 aps with no problems. I would suggest you install anti-virus software (any of the free ones are OK), and look into a replacement launcher (I use GO). I suggest that if it sounds interesting, install it. You can always uninstall with no problem. I have moved any apps possible to the internal SD card. Can't install on the external card without rooting. I think that the A1 is the best sub $200 tablet out there.
