Hi there,

Am new to the iphone me-lark and think i've made a mess with downloading GTA.

I was away for V-Day and couldn't get a wifi connection without paying but i saw GTA reduced to £4. So i got my dad to log on to my account at his house on his laptop to buy the game so i could get it when i got back, now am back and its not showing in my library (on my computer) and is asking me to pay full price for a download. Is it just a case i need to hook up my phone with his laptop when i get a chance?

Also just paid for Luxor, which downloaded but itunes hung, after a restart it too is asking my to buy again and its not in any of my libraries or on my iphone.

Cheers.

Providing it was bought from your account you should be able to download it as many times as you like.

Within iTunes go to your account and then there's a Purchase History button - Make sure it's showing in there.

GTA is there in my account history or under Purchase History but there is no option to download it again. Going through the itunes app store it shows like i've not purchased.

For Luxor it was showing but it would ask me to buy again like above, contacted Apple on that one and they managed to start the download again and that is good to go.

I've had similar, it still shows the charge in the store but when you actually start downloading it, it tells you that you've already bought it and won't be charged again.

lol, that's a 6 quid chance am not taking!!



Seriously though, i'm never going to press buy again just in case it doesn't work for me, chances are it will charge me again, twice if it could!

I've never liked the way you have to click the "buy" button and hope it waives the cost. Pretty amateurish design.

Though I have never been stung for a second payment.

I've done it plenty of times - If I delete an app from my iPhone and then realise I need it while I'm out and about I just grab it again from the store. I've never been charged again.

This should make you a bit more confident about it.

You won't get charged again.

Ok, thanks for the boost in confidence, will give it a shot.

Edit: Yay! It said i already had it. Phew!

Thanks guys.
