8.3 breaks parental controls? Download any purchased app...
With 8.3 users can download or update previously purchased apps without reauthenticating.
This is a parent problem; I have lost the ability to remove apps or to prevent an app going back on. Since we share an Apple Store account (pre-family sharing) this is a particularly vexing problem, but it would be a problem even if each child had a unique account.
Anyone else notice this?
I wrote up the 8.3 loss of parental control problem in a blog post: http://tech.kateva.org/2015/04/ios-83-took-away-one-of-my-favorite.html
For now I'm disabling App Deletion, telling kids I will be able to tell if they abuse their new Install privileges and I can always turn off all Installs (though that makes updates painful).

Can't re-download any purchased apps//app store constantly shuts off in the middle of searches.
After iOS 6 update--cant redownload any previously purchased apps from app store. App store constantly shuts off when in the middle of searches.
It happens to me almost every time but if you hold the power/sleep button and the home button for about 10 seconds to do a hard reset it usually works for me. I have an iPod touch 4G with ios6.

I put Parents Control on my sons apps so he cant download 17+ apps, but I just found out if he goes on itunes he can restore his phone to orginal settings which wont have parent control on it. Then when ever he wants he cant backup his phone so it looks like nothing ever happened. Is there a way I can bloack restore on itunes?
You can't block restoring in iTunes, but any restrictions you put on the phone are included in the iPhone backup, thus if your son restores from backup, he will restore any restrictions you put on the phone. His only choice, to completely remove restrictions, is to restore as a new device. You can also set parental controls in iTunes: iTunes>Preferences>Parental.

I purchased extra Icloud storage because I couldn't take any more pictures on my phone, or download any more apps. The extra storage purchase did not change a thing. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!
Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.

I updated my I-tunes now it won't let me download any purchases or anything off my cloud? I tried restarting and everything and no luck. Any solutions?
If it is an Intel Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "GUID Partition Table" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it is a PPC Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "Apple Partition Map" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then reinstall the OS X on your Install Disc and Update it.
1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
2. Highlight the HDD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
6. Once that is done, then you can do a clean Install from your Install Disc. -

My iPad won't let me download recently purchased apps. It says that I have never bought them.
Hi,
The other day I upgraded to the latest ios7, and after I did that, the App Store says that I have never purchased or downloaded any apps, and that I have never deleted any. This is annoying because I have spent a fair bit of money on games which I played, but now I want back, but can't get them back unless I buy them again!
If anyone could give me some help as to what to do so that I can re-download my purchased apps, then it would be much appreciated!You must use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase to re download for free.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Check the Apple ID.
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple iD -
Is it possible to download ÿōür purchased app into ÿōür other device by signing in iTunes?
Is it possible to download ÿōür purchased app into ÿōür other device by signing in iTunes?
yes. But I would recomend using Icloud. If you have purchaed the app or ownloaded it you can serch it on any of your other devices app store and you will se a different icon where the download button is suposed to go. Like a cloud. Click it and you will get it.

My iphone4s can not update any apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. What should I do?
my iphone4s can not update any apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. What should I do?
I have two Apple Accounts. One in Switzerland and one in China. I used to be able to updates all of my apps by clicking individual apps. One day I clicked update all by accident. Ever since that, my iphone cannot update any of the apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. Please kindly let me know how to make the phone back into work with the apps.
Many thanks.I find it difficult to believe that it took you a year to realize your phone was defective.
Restore the phone as new. Wait a couple of days before adding any apps to see if it's running ok. Then, add apps a couple at a time so that, if any of them cause issues, you'll have an idea which one. -

How many devices can I download a purchased app to?
Isn't that the same thing? You're allowed to associate up to 10 devices with the Apple ID on the iTunes account....but are you saying that the limitation is only for music - not apps?

I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4S iPhone.
Please Help!!I had the exact same problem. Worked fine for a couple days then suddenly getting this error. I fixed it, however.
Do this:
Open the App Store app on your phone.
Go to the "Featured" section.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on your Apple ID.
Screen pops up. Choose "Sign out".
Scroll to the bottom of the "Featured" section again.
Sign back in.
Try your download again.
This worked for me. Good luck!
