Hi,

Hope someone can help, I had an iPad 3rd Gen, to which i subscribed to MacFormat and read on the ipad frequently, now I have bought a new ipad air, when i go to newstand I cannot see my magazines, even tho I have synched everything from icloud and through itunes. If I go to the app store, it just says the current mac format is free trial, but wont let me get to my library of previous copies I have paid for, any ideas on how I can access my back catalogue on my new impressive ipad air ?? :)

When you initiate the Newsstand app and then select "store", are you able to see the purchased section to view your previously purchased newsstand items?

Is there a "Restore previous purchase" option like there is with various apps & games?

According to Apple:


  • Each publication is a standalone app. For additional assistance or information for that publication, refer to the app's built-in help or App Store listing. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4943
So I *assume* you have to re-download the subscriptions and then select to "restore previous purchase" for each subscription.

Hi Just Me'd,

A good old fasioned reboot brought the Mac Format icon back into the newstand, however it now says my previous magazines are corrupted, to delete and redownload, I tried this but cannot delete them, and if I do try to download, it wants to charge me more money, even tho I subscribe.

Have wrote to future publishing about it now, see what they say.

Thanks for your help :)
