Q: How do I restore an App purchase older than 90 days?

I have been playing D-Day Commando since it first came out & in that time I have purchased several weapons & gold.

 

Yesterday the app got stuck in a loop and would not let me progress so following the Apple support forum advice I deleted the app and downloded it again from the app store. Obviously this means than I have returned to the start of the game but I can live with that. What I would like to do is get my purchases back put am having difficulties doing so because they are older than 90 days.

 

Any idea how I recover these purchases?

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4

    Hello there, Old_Tonto.

     

    The following Knowledge Base article provides some information on re-downloading in-app purchases:

     

    iTunes Store: About In-App Purchases

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4009

     

    Particularly:

    Redownload an In-App Purchase

     

    If you lose your In-App Purchases because apps were accidentally deleted or you had to restore your device without a backup, you may be able to download some of your purchases again for free. See which types of In-App Purchases you need to purchase again or can redownload for free in the table:

    TypeDownload for freePurchase Again
    Consumable X
    Non-consumableX
    Non-renewing subscriptions X
    Auto-renewable subscriptionsX

     

    To download an In-App Purchase again, you must download it from within the installed app using the same iTunes Store account name you used for the original In-App Purchase.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Cheers,

    Pedro.

    I Am looking to redownload apps (not in app purchases as mentioned above) that are older than 90 days. They are not showing up in the updates> purchased section of the App Store on my iPhone.

    If they are no longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload them (any item can be removed by the content provider at any time); if they are still in the store then check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

     

    If they aren't in the store then do you have copies of them in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back ?
