Some of the full versions of kids games I had bought on my iPhone are only showing up as the lite/free versions on my new ipad. I'm using the same apple ID. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

I just got a new iPad and downloaded previously purchased apps from my iPhone using the same apple ID. Some of the kids games I had paid for are only showing up as the lite/free versions on my iPad. Other paid games that have no free version (e.g. Peppa Pig and Dora) are working normally. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks

iPad, I have an iPhone 4 and latest ipad

Hello Melb mum,


I was researching the issue you are experiencing and found an article that I think will fit the bill here. It is called iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

This section in particular at the end:


To unhide your purchases

  1. Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the main page.
  3. If you're not already signed in, tap Sign In.
  4. Tap your Apple ID name, then tap View Account.
  5. Scroll down on the Account pane, and tap Hidden Purchases.
  6. Locate the item you would like to unhide then tap the Unhide button.



All the best,

Sterling
