Cant get back purchases. Apple ID acts as new but it has been the same email since the beginning. What to do?

So recently i realised that my ID acts like new. It cannot get back(restore) old purchases, not even inapp purchases.
I checked my emails and exatly a year ago i got an email from apple which said"welcome to itunes store" and that newbie blah blah like i just registered, but i have the receits from earlier on the same email adresse. Please help me!

Hi,
On your iPhone delete the Apple ID you are using (As it is linked to your husband's iPhone)
On the Mac in the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears.
Navigate to the Preferences.
Find the item com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
Drag it to the trash.
Restart the Messages app.
It will want you to re-enter an Apple ID.
Get your own Apple ID as Eric says.
Enter this on the Mac and the iPhone.
Sharing an Apple ID is only really good for iTunes and syncing things through iCloud.
FaceTime and the iMessages account should really have their own.

  • TS2446 my ipad says APPLE ID DISABLED...but it has been reset.  I followed the instructions..still disabled.  help?

    It has done this numerous times.  I'm frustrated with it.

    Have you tried logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and seeing if it then works on it ?
    If it doesn't then try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    I'm sorry we cannot help you.
    You have Jailbroken your device.  Apple does not support Jailbreaking and as such having done so has voided your warranty and forfeited any support from Apple and by extension these forums. We are not allowed to discuss Jailbroken devices in any way by the Terms of Service of the forum.
    You will have to find help elsewhere. Ask the person that installed Cydia to restore the phone.

    Were you running iOS 7 beta?  If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
    Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta?  Then you've stolen Apple's software and will receive absolutely no assistance from this forum.  Enjoy your iBrick!

  • I rented a film. Went out of it and now i cant get back in??

    I rented a film. Went out of it and now i cant get back in??

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

    Issues are usually network related
    What is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD (you can switch to SD in the settings)
    If on wifi try ethernet and www.istumbler.net to rule out interference
    Make sure you're using your ISP's DNS

  • Can anyone help with problem updating iphone5s cant get anything only apple on screen sometimes screen flashes blue

    can anyone help with problem updating iphone5s cant get anything only apple on screen sometimes screen flashes blue

    Hey damien555,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

    My daughter locked her ipod and cant get back in. We talked to a tec over the phone and gave them the serial number but she said it was not the right one.

    your going to have to put the ipod into recovery mode and restore the device. Unfortunatly you will lose all the info on the device after the restore but if you have a backup for the device in itunes you will be able to get all the info back if no backup is on itunes all info will be lost you can find the backups on in itunes under the   edit>
    preferences>devices and check for the backup
    to put the ipod into recovery mode disconnect the ipod from the computer
    power down the ipod
    press and hold the home button than plug the device in and the itunes should give a message that states
    itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode and must first be restored before it can be used
    than click the restore option in the summary page and issue resolved

  • HT2499 I cant get my external Apple USB SuperDrive to recognize any of my dvds?

    I cant get my external Apple USB SuperDrive to recognize any of my dvds. It only recognizes installation cds. Is there something I can do or is the device faulty?

    Here are some troubleshooting ideas. The DVD read portion of the Superdrive may have failed. The CD uses a different reader based on what I was told by an Apple Store Genius when mine failed.
    CD/DVD Drive - Troubleshooting
    CD/DVD Drive - Troubleshooting (2)
    If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer and Superdrive tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.
