Why am I getting "you've already purchased this but it hasn't been downloaded" on my iPad for a in app purchase.

I need help. I'm trying to buy an in app purchase for FarmVille 2: Country Escape. And it says "you've already purchased this it hasn't been downloaded. I am using iPad Air and it's up to date.

Hi Neha
I'm afraid I got stuck again with the popup "You've already purchased this... " as well as the occasional prompt for my Apple ID password.
(I do make the call to finishTransaction on each callback i.e PURCHASE_TRANSACTION_SUCCESS, PURCHASE_TRANSACTION_CANCEL and PURCHASE_TRANSACTION_FAIL)
When I print out the list of pending transactions, I can see a number of them with the "...error: Cannot connect to ITunes Store:2 originalTransaction: null"
My question is, what happens if for some reasons the call to finishTransaction doesn't work (I'm guessing this is one of the scenarios that happened here)?
Just having the call to finishTransaction in the callback doesn't necessarily mean it will be successfully exceuted all the time.
What would you suggest in this scenario?
How would I know how to process those pending transactions? At this stage, I have no info on whether those transactions were successful etc?
I'd rather not have to interfere with Apple's handling of transactions but clickin on the popup button to download it doesn't seem to have any effect... Is this only a Sandbox issue too perhaps? *hopeful here
Thanks!

'You've already rented this but it hasn't been downloaded. Go to Downloads to manage your downloads.'

I rented a movie and I can't get it to download onto my iPad. I go into my videos, press the download icon, and I get the 'You've already rented this but it hasn't been downloaded. Go to Downloads to manage your downloads.' Pop up. The problem is, there is no 'Downloads' option, in 'Videos' or iTunes..
I tried following matt00's advice from https://discussions.apple.com/message/23950236#23950236, but again, there is no 'downloads' option in iTunes.
I then tried logging out of and back into iTunes, but to no avail, my movie still refuses to even show up in 'purchased'
How do I download my movie?

Here's the solution: contact Apple support. They will not only refund your money but give you a credit for another rental. Download to a computer instead of ipad. Sync ipad with itunes.
Maybe someday Apple will fix the bug, until then, don't download directly to ipad.

You need to contact them with your questions.

You've already purchased this item, but it hasn't been downloaded.

I don't have App sync on (have tried it with App sync on and off), my Mobile Applications directory on my Mac is empty.
When I go to update my apps per the iPhone's App Store program, they download and then I get this message:
+You've already purchased this item, but it hasn't been downloaded.To get it, open iTunes on your computer, select Check for Purchases, then sync your device to your computer.+
I did this, yet the problem remains. Have restored to factory settings and after installing my apps again, the next time one updates I get this error and despite my following the directions above, the error persists. Anyone know of a fix for this little circle?

Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
Agh!

I made an in-app purchase and it won't download. It keeps saying I've already purchased this in-app purchase but it hasn't been downloaded. It then say's Oops! Your transaction didn't go through, Please try again! and I have several times. The purchase has already been charged to my credit card on file.

Open the App Store and navigate to purchased, it should show the missing app under Not On This ipad. There should be a small cloud icon you can click on to download it.

I made an In-App Purchase and whenever I try to use it says I have to buy it and then I try to just give my info again then it tells me "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase but it hasn't been downloaded."

HT201272 You've already purchased this In-App Purchase

I'm trying to make a purchase inside of a game I'm playing on my iphone 5. I've done this many times already, but yesterday I tried to make a purchase and I received the message "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase but it hasn't been downloaded." The item I purchased is not available to me and I don't know how to download it. In the past, when I made in-app purchases, they went through immediately. There was no separate downloading.
I've synced my phone to iTunes on my computer and there's nothing that I purchased in need of download that I can see.
Can someone tell me how to deal with this message?

I am using consumable product so I can purchase multiple time but same problem

iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie. When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
I follow the instructions, but the download still doesn't resume - err = 11111
Any advice?

I've tried to download an app that I used to have but deleted. I get the message "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional charge." BUT it won't download.

Are you certain you have enough memory left on your device to accommodate the app? Also, are you certain that an iOS 8-compatible version has been released by the developer? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then try downloading it via an iTunes sync.
Cheers,
