How to purchase an APP

Hello Members of the Apple Users Group

Buying Applications

When you find an application you want in the App Store, you can purchase and download it to iPad. If the application is free, you can download it without charge after providing your iTunes account information.

Once you download an application, it’s installed immediately.

Purchase and download an application:

1 Tap the price, then tap Buy App (or tap Free, then tap Install App).
2 Sign in to your account if requested, then tap OK.
If you don’t have an iTunes Store account, tap Create New Account to set one up.

Purchases are charged to your iTunes Store account. If you make additional purchases within fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again.

You can use iTunes Store gift cards, gift certificates, or other promotional codes to make purchases. When you sign in to your account, your remaining store credit appears with your account information at the bottom of most App Store screens.

Enter a redemption code: Tap Featured or Top Charts, scroll to the bottom the screen, tap Redeem, then follow the onscreen instructions.

See the status of application downloads: After you begin downloading an application, its icon appears on the Home screen and shows a progress indicator.

If a download is interrupted, iPad starts the download again the next time it connects to the Internet. Or, if you open iTunes on your computer, iTunes completes the download to your iTunes library (if your computer is connected to the Internet and signed in to the same iTunes account).

BTW iTunes will refer to your apps as purchases whether they cost you money or they are for free. Free is still Free.

You can also purchase and download Apps on your computer through iTunes. Just go to the iTunes store, search for the app and it's more or less the same procedure with the additional task of syncing it to your ipad or iphone once it's downloaded.
