When i try to download an app it says open only

Since udating to ios6 my apps have gone on my sons touch 4g. When i log in to app store and search for one it says 'open' only and not 'free' 'instal' or anything else. When I go to updates and purchased tab I am able to download some of them but others just say 'open' - how's this? Thanks folks

I just upgraded my 4s to ios6 yesterday, and most of my icons have disappeared.  what is strage is that they didn't even reappear after I was offered, and downloaded/installed, updates for many of the missing programs. 
How can I get my icons back on the desktop??
thanks --

Try:

    Try resetting the password, even a number of times, until it takes. It took the third attempt on a family member's iPad before it was successful!

    - To change ID go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign in with the one you want. If you iPod has iOS 5 you may have to also go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the second account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    Go to Seetings ---> Store ---> and press the part where it says your "Apple ID:xxxxxxx" a pop menu will show asking you some options and you should chose "View Apple ID" then a password prompt will also show up which you should enter as per your apple ID and then you will have a new menu with multiple selctions to Edit your account, the third one is related to Country/Region.

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

    I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions  that I forgot the awnsers to. Than I click the forgot security questions than it sends it to my email but that's the problem I do not get any email.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
