    Australia, mate!
    Hey guys,

    So last week, I decided to download Modern Combat 2 from the Appstore onto my iPhone via Wifi, but it froze halfway, so I decided to pause it. I then restarted my iPhone, and when it had turned on again, the half-downloaded Modern Combat 2 was now a greyed-out icon. I then went onto iTunes and synced my iPhone so that the greyed-out icon would disappear, and it did.

    I now want to redownload this app from the Appstore directly onto my iPhone, but because I had already attempted to download/install this app, I am unable to press the "Buy" and "Install" buttons next to the app on the Appstore, as it says that it has already been installed, which it clearly hasn't as I had already deleted its progress.

    The problem is that the only way I can continue its download is to open up iTunes on my computer, but I am unable to sync any apps from my computer onto my iPhone because of a separate issue.

    So my question is that, is there anyway in which I can download this app from the Appstore directly onto my iPhone, even though that it says that this app has already been installed?

    Thanks in advance.

    Whenever I get this I just retry the download. It won't charge you twice for the same game so you should be fairly safe.
