I'm trying to download some apps to my Ipad Mini, when I have already put the password, it seems like it is downloading, but then, it says "You've already purchase this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional charge"

Hello, Like the question says, I'm trying to download some apps to my Ipad Mini, when I have already put the password, it seems like it is downloading, but then, it says "You've already purchase this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional charge".

Try This...


Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...


Reset ( No Data will be Lost )


Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...


Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...


Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)


Release the Buttons...

I have purchased a new iPad recently. I was trying to download apps like pages, numbers, keynotes, GarageBand, iMovie, iPhoto etc. I was able to install pages and keynote but could not install numbers, GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto. It says " you have already purchased this so it will be downloaded at no extra cost". Please let me know if there is any workaround. Thanks

I have the same issue, my new iPad mini occasionally doesn't download the apps i requested. When I tap the install button, it tells me that I've already downloaded this app before (even though I haven't) and it will now be downloaded at no additional charge. But then it just stops downloading. This issue ****** me off greatly. Apple better fix it quick.

Hi there.

I Had the same issue. there is a solution.

1. Open itunes on your computer which you synced your device with.

2. On the store tab click to sign in with your current apple ID.

3. Click on your account on the top of the screen on the left.

4. Choose account icon.

5. On account information page u can see the message "you have .. Items awaiting download"

6. Click on " download now" button.

The mentioned applications that you try to install are in download list.

After download u can sync your device and install new apps easily.
