Should in app purchases be transferred to new phone?

I had a 3GS and now iPhone 4, on the 3GS I had the Navigon gps app which I also bought the in app extras (traffic and panoramic view) but I noticed those extras didn't transferred to the new phone, the app wants we to buy the traffic and panoramic options again.

I've never done in app purchases, but I can assume that perhaps they are like just extra data the app allows you to buy and thus gets put in with other data files the app uses (eg: no new icon on home screens).
Thus when you sync and backup it is part of the app data that gets backed up.
If you didn't restore your new phone from your backup of your old phone then you didn't get your app data. If you just synced you just installed the apps not the data.

  • In app purchases when transferring to a new device?

    Here is my situation.  My sons ipod touch is cracked so I want to transfer his data to my old iPhone 4.  My hope is that I will be able to transfer all of his apps and his in app purchases over to the new device.  So far I have backed up the old Ipod touch and then resored it to the iPhone.  So far so good but the in app purchases have not transfered.   Is there something I have missed? I just want to easily clone the one device to another.
    any direction would be very welcome
    Thanks

    Did you follow these instructions?
    iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    If you restore from iTunes backup all the apps have to be in the iTunes library in order for the apps date (includes in-app purchases) to go.

  • Can in-app purchase be transfered to other devices?

    I unlocked an apps puzzle on our iphone but the puzzles are still locked on the ipod touch?  When you purchase in-app unlocks is it for that device only or can you transfer the purchases to other devices?

    It depends on the type of in-app purchase involved. If it is a non-replenishable item such as a bonus level pack it should be possible to apply the purchase to all your devices, and reapply it after restoring a device. They are not transferred or restored automatically, but if you attempt to make the in-app purchase of the same item you should find the content is restored for free.

  • In app purchase not transferring to other IOS devices

    Hi all,
    I did an in app purchase for 15 kid songs for my daughter from my iPhone 4s. The app itself transferred to my other 2 iPads but the in app purchase of the 15 songs did not transfer. Are there any suggestions to rocky if this
    Thanx for any input.

    Hello sthomp31
    Check to make sure that the In-App purchase can be downloaded again. The article below will assist you further. If you can still download it and not able to, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • In app purchase not transferred? :(

    I have just got an iPhone 4 and restored all my setting from my back-up
    All my application data was copied over, except for 1 application, which was Pac-Man CE which also didn't transfer over my in-app purchases and is asking for me to pay again
    Why didn't it transfer my in app purchases? I don't want to have to buy it again
    Cheers

    Transaction is not finished in my app that contains in app purchase, how do I debugg? I have been in contact with the apple support and the script in Actionscript 3.0 worked perfectly until I added four more items as in app purchase.
    Apple tell me:
    I’m not seeing the application make the finishTransaction call. If this call is not made, the transaction is incomplete. The next time the user attempts to make a purchase, they will see the alert - “You’ve areleady purchased this item and you can download it for free”.
    You state that only three lines of code were changed. That may be but maybe the existing portion of code is encountering a new situation that it didn’t expect. This is what debugging is all about. You may need to engage the services to help debug this issue.
    Please guide me to solve this problem. I work in Flash Professional and compile to AIR 16.
    Best regards

  • In app purchase not transferring

    Hi,
    If I do an in App pruchase on my iPhone, will that purchase be accessable on say my iPad too without purchasing it again?
    Thanks,

    I actually just found this on Apple Support

    Subscriptions and replenishable In-App Purchase cannot be transferred or synced to another iOS device. Non-replenishable In-App Purchases  and auto-renewing subscriptions can be transferred to another iOS device authorized with your iTunes Store account. For example, if you transfer a game from an iPhone to an iPod touch, only the game levels will sync over, the extra ammo and experience points will not be transferred.
    Wanted to use the PS Express camara bundle (noise filter) on both iPad & iPhone. But at $4.99 for each device, no way.

  • In app purchase not transferring from iPhone to ipad

    I recently bought a metronome app that has an in app purchase which I opted for on my iPhone.  It works as expected on the iPhone.  However, the same app on my iPad does not recognize the purchase... it prompts me to purchase the feature to enable it.  I tried removing the app from the iPad then resyncing it but that's no help.  When I check mu purchase histoty on my computer the purchase shows up but from the iPad, the in app purchase doesn't show up.  Anyone with similar experience have any suggestions?

    This "should" fit into the "non-replenishable" category that would work with all of the user's ios devices.  The app is a demo that has the full functionality enabled with the in-app purchase.  I suppose it is possible that the developer misunderstood the classifications and set it up as replenishable by mistake. 
    If this is the case, it could be avoided if Apple would simply clearly note in the App store which category the In-App purchase is . i.e, if a customer is paying $20 for an in app purchase, it may be OK with them if they can use it on multiple devices but not worth it if they must purchase it for each device.  They should be able to find out which it is before buying.

  • HT201269 will a restore delete apps that are on the new phone

    I just got an iphone 5 and they lady turned it on and synced my contacts.  My question is, will the backup saved from my iphone 3 delete the new apps that come with the 5?  Will it delete these or will it add my old apps to the new one?

    It wont delete the preinstalled Apps of the iPhone 5 if that's what you are wondering.
    You can safely restore from the 3G backup and get all your apps onto the new phone.
    Alternatively, assuming you use the same apple Id you can simply redownload them form them from the purchased tab in iTunes on the new phone.

  • How do i get my apps and old info onto new phone

    I recently upgraded my phone, now I cant get my apps or anything off of my account onto the new phone? help please

    Lucky you, a dead iPhone and a dead computer!  If you were backing up your old computer to an external drive then you might be able to recover your backup file.  But if you don't have a backup of your old computer then you're outta luck, iTunes itself does not contain the backup file.
    If you have a backup of your old computer's hard drive, your iPhone's backup file would be located at:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista or 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You would then put the iPhone backup file into the same location on the new computer, then restore the iPhone and select this backup.
