ICloud – Unable to download purchased apps because cloud symbol missing on some apps in itunes

applicationsiclouditunes

I am usually backing all apps which I purchase. Recently I purchased a bunch of new apps, which I would like to download. So I opened the iTunes (12.6.20) switched to purchases and right now I see that cloud icon for downloading the app in some apps is missing. See picture.

Do you know what is causing this problem? I would like to download all my purchased apps. Sign off/on doesn`t solve the problem.

Thanks for the help.

Some facts:

  • My local apps library is completely empty, so nothing is downloaded yet.
  • I am currently using 12.6.3.6 iTunes
  • If somebody else will sign into same iTunes on the same computer as I do he is able to download all apps
  • I am a family organizer for family sharing
  • I tried to sign on different computers to iTunes and the apps which I can download where all same.
  • The solution that I can download the app by searching this app on iTunes doesn`t help because I would like to download a purchased app which is currently not available. (Yes It can be, My brother has the same app purchased which is not available yet but through purchases, list can be downloaded)

Hi I would try downloading the apps onto your device with whoever a sign in shows all of them in there library and then log out of there sign in and sign back into your name and see if that helps I had a similar issue in the past and this seemed to solve the problem
