App store still requires password (with Touch id)

Hi there,
Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong here.
It just seems that the App store always asks me for my password even when I have touch id enabled.
It sometimes asks for the password and then the touch id? Is there a setting or something to allow me just to use the touch id?
Thanks,
Pete

Apps are permanently linked to the ID used to get them. If you need to update an old app, you need to use the ID linked to it.

  • Stop app store from requiring password

    My 9 (going on 40 lol) year old niece just received an apple iPad Mini 2 for Christmas.
    I have setup a user account for her linked via 'Family Sharing' to my personal account as the adult user.
    Big, and almightily annoying problem.
    She uses a good load of FREE gaming apps, many of the same she has previously been using on ANDROID devices, with absolutely no problem.
    The fact that I am having to take the iPad from her every 12 - 20 minutes and re enter my administrative password is very, very, frustrating, and idiotic.
    How do I stop this happening?
    I live 60 miles away from my niece so can not have this happening all the time.
    I cannot alter, simplify, or switch, passwords.
    Simple put. I expect my niece to be able to
    a> access her App Store.
    b> search and select a FREE app as she knows to do.
    c> install and use said app WITHOUT myself having to enter a ridiculously complex and unmemorable password ever 12-20 minutes.

    It's built-in the system, so it is normal it tries to reinstall, no way to prevent it other than to fully disable updates.

  • When I am downloading a free application (foursquare) in the App Store, it came up with a message saying Verification Required which means I need to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

    I am currently using iPhone 3GS and when I am going to download foursquare which is a FREE application in the App Store, it came up with a message saying Verification Required which means I need to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem? For further informations, I am currently using Windows running Vista. Special thanks to those who replied.

    Your iTunes account sounds like it does not have a credit card or payment attached to it. Even free apps require that you have entered payment information even though you won't be charged for the app.

    If you dont have any other devices which you use your Apple-ID with (like an iPad, iPod, Mac etc) this will solve your issue (I've been there too):
    If you have iOS 6:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store by taping the email adress at the top and choose Sign out.
    2) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    3) Sign back in again with your new email adress.
    If you have iOS 7:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    2) Change your email adress back to the old email adress on your Apple-ID
    3) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    4) Change your email for you Apple ID back to the new email adress you want to have.
    5) Sign back in from Settings > iCloud.
    If you're promted for password to your old Apple ID when you update apps you need to follow the steps above and then restart your iPhone.
    If the steps in this article is followed when chagning Apple ID this issue can be avoided Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.

  • HT1212 ive changed my email on itunes and apple and att but my app store still shows my old id so it doesnt recognize me to add new apps...any clues how to get it changed on the phone

    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Changed Apple ID, but app store still wants old one

    I changed my Apple ID to a new email address because the old address stopped working. However, the App Store still wants my old address and the old ID (email address) and password are invalid. How can I fix this?

    iTunes and Mac App STore purchases are forever registered to the Apple ID that bought them. Apple does not transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple does not merge Apple ID accounts. The Apple ID is encoded into the licensed copy that you downloaded to your Mac and that is the only Apple ID that can redownload or update the purchases.
    You erred making a new Apple ID. You should have simply changed the primary email address associated with the Apple ID.
    Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    It is too late to do that now because you have used your email address to create the new Apple ID. An email address can only be associated with one Apple ID.
    There is a very complicated process to reuse the new email address.

  • I bought this MAC from a family member. Did everything need to change items to my apple id. Today I did the update for IOS Yosemite now the app store is auto filling with someone else id?? But they seem to be my apps??

    If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.
    You have to erase the drive and download/install the Apps using your AppleID.

  • IOS app submission bundle is invalid.New apps and app updates submitted to the app store must be built with public?

  • I updated my payment option details for app store and was charged with Rs. 60 twice. why did that happen?

    i changed my app store from canada to india and for that i'd to update my payment option details for app store and was charged with Rs. 60 twice. once the day i added the card details. and then another one 3 days later. why did that happen?
    i read soemwhere that it automatically gets credited back within 3-5 working days.
    waited for more than 7 days but no credit was given back.
    m feeling bad that i got charged without making any purchase.

    Each time that you add or change the card details on your account (and possibly also if you change your name and address, as the card needs to be registered to the same name and address as on your iTunes account) you will be charged a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that the card is active, but it should disappear within a few days or so (the amount of time that it takes will vary by card issuer) : store holding charge.
    Give it a few more days, and if it still hasn't disappeared then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
    This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
    Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
    I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
    I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

  • I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

    I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

    The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
    That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here.

  • App Store now requires one-click?

    has anyone else noticed a change that the app store now requires that you are using one-click rather than cart in iTunes? This happened when purchasing a "free" app from the store. Before I never had that message.
    I noticed this after the iTunes 8 / FW 2.1 upgrade but until I am convinced of stability, I'm still running iTunes 7.7.0 + FW 2.0.1.

    Just an update: I've 'bought' some free apps by clicking the 'buy' button from the dialog box that explains about 1-click. It seems like it treats that purchase as a 1-click purchase (and if it hadn't been free my credit card would have been charged) but it doesn't change the setting in the preferences, so other purchases at the store can be bought using the basket.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does Australian Mac App store STILL charge more than US?

    Even with the revision on pricing by Apple yesterday, the Oz App store still makes Aussies pay more than apps bought from US App store for Americans. Aperture US=US$79.99, Aperture OZ=AUD$84.99. According to Bloomberg currency conversion today, Aussies should only be paying AUD $74.21. So in real terms why are we slugged an extra AUD$10 more, which would equate to US10.78? The more expensive the app the bigger the difference in cost to us. And why should there be ANY difference considering this is all digital & no packaging or postage involved? Apple, if you are going to change your pricing, please base it on actual exchange rates & make it REAL! You will then find Aussie uptake for apps much greater, same goes for other countries in a similar position.

    Folks are directing their feedback on the  MAS to Mac OS X Snow Leopard because it is currently a Snow Leopard related app, it comes with the OS's update.
    Questioning Apple's decisions about its business and products is a violation of the Terms of Use for the ASC. You agreed not to do so when you opened your account. It may be a legitimate question on other people's forums, but not here.
    It is ranting, because all manner of sharing experience about doing business in foreign nations goes ignored in the thread to which I linked, and any others around. BTW, the US prices do not yet have any taxes added to them. The taxes are added at checkout in the US MAS. That is not the case in the MAS for many other nations.
