  • I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

  • I turned off my phone and when I turned it back on, all my apps were deleted. I tried to reinstall my apps, but it wouldn't let me. My storage still remained the same even though, all my apps were deleted. How can I get my apps back?

    Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.

  • I PAD PURCHASED UK. MY I PAD ACCOUNT IS A SPANBISH BANK SO ALL APPS COME IN SPANISH HOW CAN I GET UK APPS

    Day 1 Big problem. Registered my new i oad on i tunes. I Live and bank in Spain which is all ok until I want to look on apps......its all in spanish and changibg the kanguage does noit work HELP

    You can only use a credit card registered in the same country as the iTunes store.  If you have a Spanish credit card, it will only work in the Spanish iTunes store.  To use the UK store, you'll need a UK credit card.  You could try purchasing gift cards instead, but you'll need to buy them in the UK to use them in the UK store.  Spanish gift cards will only work in the Spanish store.
    If the only problem is the language, and you are living in Spain, perhaps you should learn Spanish?

  • If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.

    Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

    Hey Mrlablack,
    Since you had already purchased iPhoto, you should be able to redownload it. To download previous purchases on a computer, your computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that was used for the original purchase. For more information on the steps to reinstall purchased apps, check here:
    Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11493
    View and reinstall purchased apps
    To view a list of all purchased apps, click Purchases in the toolbar.
    To install an app, click the Install button for the app in the Purchases list.
    To hide a purchased app in the Purchases list, hold down the Control key, click the app you want to hide, and then choose Hide Purchase.
    To view hidden apps, choose Store > View My Account, enter your Apple ID and password, click View Account, and then click View Hidden Purchases. To show a hidden app in the purchased apps list, click its Unhide button.
    All the best,
    David

  • Just downloaded Maverick and lost the apps I purchased - Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without repurchasing?

    I just dowloaded Maverick and lost the Apps I purchased:  Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without paying for them again?

    Thanks so much for being out there for me - someone I can talk to.  I went to purchases and unfortunately it is no longer there. I dowloaded the Notes App again for free.  I will just buy Bejeweled again.    I guess the price of downloading maverick was losing my beloved video game.  But you have put my mind at ease - I appreciate knowing I did all I could do to recover it.

  • HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer.  However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers.  How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

    You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

  • How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?

    How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?
    The old ID is already grayed in the box for my ID and it does not allow me to type in my new ID.

    I appreciate your effort and realize I did not provide a lot of background.
    My issue began when I unintentionally managed to add an additional .com onto my new apple ID and the system then incorrectly verified this "none existent" address. Following days of effort and emails to Apple support I finally ended up  getting set up with my new ID on iTunes.
    The next problem was my App store login continued to have the "old" ID grayed into the signin and since I had changed it to a new ID, I could not login at the App Store.
    I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a total of 3 Apple reps without a resolution to me problem.
    The last Apple rep, Chad wanted to be able to take a screen shot of what I was telling him, which made no sense to me but I was willing to do what ever was required to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Chad hung up or somehow disconnected before I received the email required for allowing a screenshot. After calling back and adding another 5+ minutes invested, I decided to attempt to change back to my old ID.
    Once I had changed my ID back to the old one, I could download updates and purchases.
    I realize my question was asking a lot but my hope was someone would have some idea as to how to correct the problem Apple Support could not. It seems to me Apple needs to make a correction on their end but it is now into week two of attempting to solve the problem and I am pretty much disenchanted with Apple Support due to the amount of time and effort already invested and lack of progress.
    Thanks for your suggestion. I think it was a good one considering the lack of other information.

  • I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?

    Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?
    The error message says it cannot find the file but it exists as it was transferred to my ipod.
    Thanks.

    Ack! We don't need that much.
    What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file  I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located.  Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed).  Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.
    What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
    What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
    Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.
