Why I have to pay again when I want to reinstall my Pages app after updating?

I uninstalled Pages from my iPhone after updating it to the latest yesterday.
Because somehow i got stuck in the introduction page.
So, I thought reinstaling it will solve the problem.
But, surprissingly the app asks me to pay it again to reinstal it.
I have bought it since 2011 and I have it installed on my iPad 2.
What's the problem?

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Bare with me...I need to explain the situation first.
I purchased an external harddrive and with the help of phone support, I moved some(most) of my itunes stuff to that hard drive. However, when I sync my iphone, it occasionally says something like..."did not sync song because it could not be found".
When I typed in the finder thing at the top right corner of my screen (spotlight?), I searched for itunes media. I found one file but it doesn't show me it's location. So I started looking (I'm still new to this) but I think I found 2 itunes media folders...1 on my imac harddrive and the other in my external harddrive.
After reading some of the online posts regarding downloads, I discovered that it is possible to redownload something you purchased before and NOT be billed again. I know that when I download an app in my iphone and then delete it, if I go to download it again, it tells me i already downloaded it and can download it again for free...so no problems there.
However, my interest is to greatly reduce the amount of "stuff" I have in my external harddrive as well as my internal harddrive. But before going into my external harddrive and deleting all 8 seasons of 24...which is something like 250gigs, I wanted to test the theory. So I looked for something cheap that I downloaded. I would then delete that and then go into the itunes store to redownload it again.
One thing I also want to mention, I read that there should be a purchased tab in my itunes store. Either I don't have it, or don't know where to look. One other thing I read is that it might be not available to me based on where I live. I live in Toronto, Ontario.
Back to what I did. I deleted an episode of Wallace and Gromit (kids show). Then went in itunes to download the same episode. When I checked my account information...it shows that I was just charged for that download...AGAIN! Now granted it was only $2.99...apparently this doesn't need to be the case.
So...going back to the 2 itunes media folders. I checked my system preferences and saw that itunes was set to save downloads here.../users/"my name"/music/itunes/itunesmedia. This folder is on my imac. However, the Wallace and Gromit video was on my external. So when I deleted it, I removed it from my external drive.
So here's what I have done so far...I went into the system preferences and proceeded to change the path to my external harddrive.
Now...before I go and delete something else...am I doing things correctly?
Also...what should the path be in itunes? I suspect it should be to my imac so that anything I download, downloads successfully to my internal harddrive...and then I drag and drop into my external...
I also want to mention that I have a time capsule as well. So basically...I want to keep my imac and time capsule free of as much media as possible...My computer and timecapsule each have 1 TB and I nearly maxed them out...I take alot of home videos with an HD camera...I had no idea how much that would add up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I already bought the audio book and when I would like to download to my iPod its asked me to buy again I put yes to times and its charged to my bank account , why i have to pay again?t

Why I can not download audio book to my iPod after I paid for in my iPhone .

Audiobooks can currently only be downloaded once - if you want to put it on a different device then you should have copied it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then synced it to the iPod.

Hello all. I just purchased the iphone 4s and i was interested to know if you have to pay again when copying songs purchased on another iphone

I used to have an iphone 3G, i have a lot of purchased items so I was interested to know that when putting them onto my iphone4s using the icloud will i need to pay for them again? i know it sounds silly because youve already paid for the song, but i just wanted to be sure. Many thanks

I am using the same iTunes account, its straight from the 'purcased' part off the store.

If I paid for app for iphone do i have to pay again for same app for ipad?

Hi just curious if anyone could tell me if I have purchased an app for an iphone for example My Movies pro do I have to pay again if I want My Movies pro for Ipad?
Does this depend on specfic apps or is everything free once you paid for it on either your ipad or iphone under same apple Id?
Thanks

Hi Oil Country,
If the app is compatible with both iPhone and iPad, then you can download it to any iPhone or iPad that the Apple ID used to purchase it is signed onto.
You can go to the App Store on the iPad, then to your Purchased Items. Click on "Not on this iPad", and you should see the app listed with a little cloud next to it. Tap on the cloud to download it.
Cheers,

I started to download Lion but internet went down, do I have to pay again?

I started to download Lion but internet went down, do I have to pay again?

You shouldn't. Open the App Store, login with the Apple ID and password used to purchase Lion and press your Options/Alt key. Then click on Purchases at the top of the windows. Your purchases should show up and Lion should have maybe a Resume or Install button to click on.

Hi when restoring data ( tv show ) do I have to pay again. The data has not backed up to my PC , I think it has backed up to Icoud. When I click on the Icloud icon it tells me to enter my password followed by having to click the buy button. It I click the buy button will I have to pay for something that I have already paid for?

I pay for Photoshop Touch on my phone why do I have to pay again for my tablet?

I pay for Photoshop Touch on my phone why do I have to pay again for my tablet?

The tablet version came out some months before the phone version, if I recall.
Not sure why the decision was made to make them two separate apps. I can say that they're practically the same app, just that one's UI is designed for tablets while the other is designed for phones. You can't use the tablet version in portrait orientation on a tablet. Likewise, you can't use the phone version in landscape orientation. This all may change. Autodesk's SketchBook tablet app could only work in one orientation (landscape) until a few versions later where it could finally change to either landscape or portrait.

iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
* If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
* If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

How are you trying to re-download it, from within the store or the Purchased link ? You should be able to redownload it for free via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

If I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 will I have to pay again for upgrading to CSCC?

If I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 will I have to pay again for upgrading to CSCC?
I have CS5.5 and my current clients have CS6.
If I upgrade to CSCC will I have any trouble saving back my files to CS6? Are there any know issues that occur when saving back to CS6 or earlier?

Why would you update to CS6 when you can go directly to CC. And while you wouldn't pay another upgrade amount you would have to pay the monthly subscription whether you upgrade to CS6 or not.
And you shouldn't have problems saving your files in a form that is readable by CS6. You wouldn't be able to make further adjustments on items that are not in CS6 ie. Shake reduction, however the adjustments you make in CC will be visible.

IMessage activation message. Why I have to pay more than once?

Hi there. Here is my issue with iMessage:
I'm from Spain (sorry for my bad English). I buyed an iPhone 4S one month ago. I activated iMessage then, and yesterday I was checking my phone invoice when I noticed I had sent 3 international sms (to U.K.). Each one was 0'60 € I checked the number, and It is an activation number used by Apple to verify your number. I can understand this, but i can't understand why you have to pay for this verification everytime you switch on iMessage. I checked the dates when these messages were send and the other 2 messages were send when I restore my iPhone (iOS 5.0.1 upgrade and another one because i changed my AppleID). So, I think this is a bug from iOS5 that I should't pay and It's something Apple must fix.
I have read in other Spanish Forums about people with more than 10 activation messages (about 6 €) and other people without these messages, so I don't understand what happens.
Have anyone the same problem?? Any solutions? Thanks

Probably because you purchased them again, instead of following the proper method for redownloading apps.

do i have to pay again mountain lion for my second macbook pro

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you purchase OS X Mountain Lion, you can install it for free in all your Macs as many times as you want. The same applies to all the content you purchase in the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Store and iBookstore

Why I have to pay but I didn't buy anything

why I have to pay but I didn't buy anything

If you didn't buy anything you don't have to pay. But the App Store requires you to enter your Apple ID password when you download a free app. And in order to have an Apple ID you must have a form of payment entered. You will not be charged to download a free app.
