Purchased Apps not Showing iOS 7

Hey Everyone,


I just updated to iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 and iPad 4 and all of that went smoothly.


When I go into the App store to redownload my apps and look under purchased there is nothing there.

If I go to an app that I know I have purchased before it pops up saying I already purchased and I can redownload it for free.


I have tried logging back in and out and cant bring up my purchase history.


Is anyone else having this issue?

iPhone 5, iOS 7

SOLUTION GUYS: Close your itunes and app store apps, then log out of your itunes/app store from settings. After that, Go back to app store app and click the updates icon on the bottom right. It will give you the option to log in to view your purchases. Log in and they should appear.


Ps. It worked for me. It should work for most people.


iPhone 5s

It's from the previous page.

Some (little) progress or analysis: iPod 4th Gen. none of above worked. I did a complete restore to factory setting, installed nothing but my itunes id, and yes finally got to view purchased apps. From there I did a restore to my most current backup, and the problem returned. So it must be in some combination of my settings, apps, etc. that is setting up a bug. Not too excited about reverting to factory restore and re installing all apps and songs one at a time, plus all the settings that I have forgotten about over time. Might have to settle with no purchassed listing till (if) the right app or setting comes along. Maybe somebody will take a factory restore a bit furthar and see if they find the quirk. Dont forget to get yourself a good backup first, then tuck it away somewhere that it wont get overwritten.
