Buy All Button Missing from My Wishlist - Answer as to WHY!

Okay everyone that has been frustrated....or rather HALF of everyone, I finally got an answer from Apple (after being on hold on/off for just under an hour), as to WHY the Buy All button feature was removed from the My Wishlist when wanting to purchase ALL of your items in one purchase, as opposed to each item being purchased and charged separately to your payment account (i.e. debit/credit card, or checking/savings account).
The reason WHY is because the other half of everyone was frustrated that they were accidentally clicking on the "Buy All" button when it was in iTunes, and buying all of their Wishlist items when they in reality wanted to just buy a select few (be it one or many...but NOT all).  So after listening to the complaints of the userbase and apparently my definition of half is in reality the majority, Apple removed the Buy All button.
So there you have it!  I feel a sense of relief knowing why and the explanation of it.  Now being a computer programmer myself, I'm sure there is some way Apple can design it so that it would prevent the user from accidentally buying all by providing another prompt or perhaps a checkbox option in some "Settings" environment where the user can toggle on/off this feature.  Any those are my thoughts and that should be the "feedback" to Apple.  Not just to put it back but put it back in this way so the entire user base can be satisified.
Thoughts?
P.S. - Apple assured me that if I were to buy the items separately (assuming done within the timeframe, my guess of a few minutes, assuming you don't have a million WishList items) that they still will show up on my credit card as one charge.  I beg to differ and told them that I still got separate charges.
Hope that my reseach helps alleviate everyone's concerns.

Dear All,
Seems to me a total 'own goal'.  I, like many, haven't the time to sit there and purchase each song individually and then there are all the other valid comments about fraudulent alerts etc.
Dear Apple.  Kindly see sense and revert your systems.  If that's deemed to be too negative, why not develop a best of both worlds solution.  Provide a tick box against each entry in the wish list, with an option to multi populate/toggle.  The purchaser than has the flexibility to buy individually, as a whole or pick and choose. Coding for this is not difficult.  I am amazed that this universally used option (see all email platforms), was not adopted at concept let alone at the time of the rather ill thought out solution of taking down the 'buy all' option.
As it stands at the moment, you have lost my business.  I can't believe that this decision hasn't affected your sales revenue.  I maybe 1 small voice, but look at the amount of negative commentary going on about this issue.  Please listen to your customer base.
While you are at it....  Can you reinstate the listen to all option through iTunes store, again I haven't the time to fiddle around looking for the best recording among the many.  This includes wish list as it helps me to make my final decision whether to buy.

  • Can i buy all the songs on my wishlist together or have to buy individually

    How can I buy and download ALL the songs in my wishlist at one time?  Used to have a button to buy all, but doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

    The 'buy all' button has recently been removed, possibly because people were accidentally clicking on it - you now have to buy each item individually by clicking on their price button

  • Why is the update all button missing?

    Self explanatory.

    @PogoPossom: Thanks for your efforts in answering this question. I faced the same mystery of the Update All button missing, even though I'm logged in. I tried powering down the iPad and restarting and that fixed the issue - now the Update All button appears. Is this a bug or a feature? 

  • HT1368 wish list had a buy all button.

    In older versions of ITunes , there was a buy all button in wish list. In ITunes 11 , I don't see a buy all button in wish list. Am I not seeing it , or is there a setting I need to change. I have US version. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    It appears to have been removed in the current version of iTunes, other people have made the same comment. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Why did you get rid of the buy all button?

    Getting rid of the buy all button forces me to shop elsewhere!

    This is not Apple here.
    We are users. We don't get rid of anything.

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over correctly - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • HT1368 The "Buy All" button has disappeared from my wishlist?

    I used to be able to preview all and buy all of the songs in my wishlist, but now that has disappeared and I have to individually click on them to buy them.  I am in the US, does anyone know why it is doing this or how I could fix it? 
    Thanks!

    For some reason it has been removed from the current version of iTunes, you will need to buy each track individually. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Totals, Subtotals and ABC Analysis buttons missing from ALV.

    Hi,
    I have used FM REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY in my report without specifying a PF-STATUS that means STANDARD PF-STATUS is used in ALV, and moved from Quality to Production, till yesterday all the features such as Sort, Filter, Local file along with Totals, Subtotals and ABC Analysis were visible, today all buttons are visible but TOTALS, SUBTOTALS and ABC ANALYSIS buttons are missing.
    I have not done any changes to the Code nor the layout.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sunil.

    Hi Lalit,
    I have checked the Layout.
    In Layout in Quality there are checkboxes in Summation/Totals column in front of Numeric fields,
    but these checkboxes are not visible in Layout of Production system.
    Regards,
    Sunil.

  • Format menu button missing from MS Word for Mac

    Hi all,
    This is driving me crazy! My Word for Mac 2004 works perfectly, usually love it, but for some reason, the format menu -which I use to customize my default bullet and numbering lists, paragraph spacing etc. -is missing from the top of the screen. I've got File, Insert, View, Edit, Font, Tools, Table, Window, Work, and Help, but no Format. Lately I've been getting by just using my formatting palette and formatting toolbar, but it's really not enough. Also, the toolbar button from the Insert button is also missing.
    I feel like I'm going nuts! You know how you'll look everywhere for a pair of socks and then find it right in front of your nose? Please, someone embarrass me with an easy answer!

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

  • Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

    Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

    You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

  • Close window button missing from my active+inactive tabs

    Hi. Does anyone else have the problem of the close tab button disappearing from the tabs, irrespective of whether they are the active or inactive tab?
    I can only get the buttons back by pressing the big "+" and opening a new tab and presto, all the close tab buttons appear again.
    Using firefox 8 on a windows 7 laptop. Not sure if it happens every load or just sometimes, but is frequent enough to be annoying.

    Hello, and thank you for your reply.
    I have narrowed down the problem further now- it seems that when I have an open mozilla window, and then open a link from another programme (have only tried thunderbird so far), the new tab may or may not have a close tab button on it (not right 3 out of 4 times)
    Didn't seem to happen when I tried safe mode, but I only tried it 3 or 4 times.
    It's not a big issue for me, but I guess bugs should be figured out.

  • Print Button missing from list

    When I create a new project the Print option is frequently missing from the Toolbar Buttons field in Webhelp Settings. Sometimes I close the dialog, reopen it, and "Print" is miraculously there, so I can select it. Other times I can't make it display. Is there a switch somewhere, where I can indicate that I ALWAYS want the Print button? If not, how do I make it display when it doesn't?  Thanks!

    Hi there
    Whether or not you see a Print button is dependent on whether one was included in the skin you are using. Your example depicts that your skin selection is "Default". In order to see an option to include a Print button, you need to choose a skin that has one defined.
    Cheers... Rick
