Did you change the email address of your existing Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?


If you changed the email address, have you tried signing out of the App Store/iTunes, restarting the device, and then signing back in? If the purchases show in your ID Purchases History, contact iTunes Support for assistance. See the Apple Support articles below for contact information.
