App Store asks me to add the 3 last security numbers of my credit card
Dear Apple Community,
I use iOS devices now since the iPhone 3G, but since some months the App Store asks me at every payed purchase at the App store (e.g.: Angry Birds) to add the 3 last numbers (security number) of my credit card, this even if I add these numbers a week ago.
Why is the App store not able to save my security numbers? Or is this just a security feature of the App store, because I only buy once every month a payed app?
In advance I thank you for your help!
I have no way of determining that. However, I know the iTunes Store does different things in different countries. It may be normal for Luxembourg.
You could try asking by starting here, and following all the prompts that lead you to creating an email that will be sent to iTunes Support:

App store asks for login to the wrong account
My previously employer had initially purchased this software (FCPX) on this Mac. When I left the company I was allowed to purchase the Mac from them. I no longer have access to the Apple ID that was used to purchase this software on this Mac so I deleted it (FCPX) from my Mac and repurchased it from my AppleID however, when I try to update FCPX the App Store demands the password for my old AppleID. How do I get the software that I purchased to update?
I have this same problem! All the iOS apps on 2 iPads and 2 iPhones have to be deleted and reinstalled again when clearly the iTunes Store must know that those apps were originally acquired under the previous Apple ID. Why is the "ownership" of the apps not heritable??? I've been into the "Featured" tab in the App Store to look to sign out of the old ID but it shows the correct current ID. There are currently 47 apps needing an update, all of which won't download because they were purchased or acquired with the old ID. When I changed ISP's back in August of this year I was told my Apple Support that the original Apple ID tied to my previous ISP had to be deleted, without ever mentioning that this would involve this aggravating process of having to delete old apps and try to replace them by making a list of those that won't download under the new ID and reinstalling them all over again. Several apps were "paid" apps and I don't see why I should have to pay for them again! Oftentimes I just give up rather than have to go through this frustrating & arduous process of delete-sign out of ID-sign back in-try to download again when Apple could simply mark your new ID as having replaced the old ID.

This is sooooo lame. I'm given the choice of "Not Now" when asked if I want to create three security questions, but clicking "not now" logs me out rather than letting me download the app I came for. Is this sort of poor design typical for Apple?
Then why doesn't Apple simply say:
"To download the app you must first create three security questions and answers. Do you wish to create the questions now so that you may then download the app?"
As written, the text implies that I could download the app without creating the questions first. Good design calls for a clear and direct statement that an act is mandatory when it is mandatory.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps.

Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
I don't understand.First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

I cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything
i cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything
App Store products can only be updated by signing in to the store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to download them. You can't update anything, including your own purchases, as long as there are pending updates linked to the other ID.
If you can't sign in with the other ID, you have to delete all the apps that are linked to it. If you don't know which apps those are, see below.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Delete each such item by following the instructions in the Apple Support article linked above.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -

I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?
In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery. -
HT2534 Why is the app store asking for payment information to download a free app?
I've never had a problem downloading free apps. Now, all of a sudden, I can't download a free app without going through the purchasing step, which I am not because it's free?! Anyone else having this problem?
You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.
