iTunes AppStore - how to redownload all my purchased apps?

Hey guys, my Dad has this issue with his iTunes.

We just did a clean install of Leopard and authorized the computer and all that, you know sign in the account in iTunes and all...

Anyways, my Dad has this list of purchased apps in his "purchase history". However, when clicking "Check for available downloads" iTunes reports that all the apps have been downloaded.

And no, my dad doesn't have them on his iPhone anymore because it's a jailbroken one and I had to wipe out everything and make it new again.

How do I re-download all his apps (that he bought) from iTunes??

Cheers!

edit: and by the way, there's no "Applications" in his sidebar in iTunes, because he has none on his HDD.

 

Yep, you can just re-download them, and iTunes won't charge you, just as long as you are logged on to the same iTunes account in which the apps were bought in the first place.

Edit: After downloading the first app, the applications sidebar will automatically appear.

 

Yea, I think you should sync the ipod with itunes first, because I dont think applications will show up, unless youve synced an app compatible device with the laptop before.

 

Thanks guys. The issue here is that there are a lot of apps to be searching and hunting for each one. I was looking for a bulk download of them all, since they show up in Purchase History...

 

Sorry to bump, but nobody has any idea?

 

There isn't a bulk way to download them........one by one.

An easier way would be if you used Time Machine because you can just go pull them all from a backup and reinstall them.
