How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

  • I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

    How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
    It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
    Thanks!

    As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
    A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

  • The app store icon on my sons IPOD is gone. How can I get the app store reinstalled ?

    The app store icon is gone from my sons ipod.  How do I
    get the app store reinstalled?

    The App Store is a default app and cannot be deleted. First make sure it has not been disabled via restrictions.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions on the iPod and make sure there are no instructions in placing for installing apps.
    Otherwise, do a spotlight search for it.  While on your iPod's home screen, swipe to the right and enter in App Store.

  • I restored my macbook to factory settings and now i have no app store, how can i get the app store back on my macbook?

    I need help getting the App Store back on my Macbook!!!

    You need to update or upgrade it to at least 10.6.6. If it's running 10.5.8 or earlier, this requires installing a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • How can I get the App store to resolve a problem?

    When I purchased a new Mac Book Pro last January I gave my old Mac Book to my son. A few days later I deleted my old iTunes account and ID and started fresh with same name, new password. Now I cannot update iPhoto because it came with the MBP which was still using the old account info. I have not had any problems updating other system software, and just updated Safari with my usual (new) ID and password. sup

    What happens when you try to update iPhoto?
    Most likely when you deleted the old account you broke the connection between the MBP and the App Store. I don;t think there is anything anyone here can do to help. You will need to contact App Store support to see if they can get this working again.
    You can try Contact Apple Support or else try 1-800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

  • How can I get the App store to work?

    I cannot get my App store to work on OS 10.7.4  I don't know how I am going to upgrade with the new system.  I thought the new up grade would help fix the problem, but now I don't know who to get the upgrade because my app store won't load.  I am getting the screen that says
    One Moment Please.
    Connenction to the iTunes Store.
                    Loading...
    If I tunes doesn't open, click the iTunew application icon in you Dock or Windows Task Bar. To download iTunes, Please click here.
    I have tried sign off and back on.  My iTunes works just fine. Only the App store doesn't work.  I have tried the terminal message thing.  I have tried to find my file.  I bought Lion from the app store.  PLEASE help I am so frustrated.  I want to cry.  When I as for help they send me to the boards to the support thing, but nothing on those pages have helped me.  I know there are other post, but  I don't know how to just dump eveything reload and then back up from my time capsule.  How do I do that?  I will that we could just reboot the App store. 
    Thanks

    Incase one is wondering... I found the answers in this entry
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18810192#18810192
    I tired the
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
    at first because the person was working out of lion but it kept saying not found, but I did everything else here next.  I added the debug thing and didn't work but I didn't.  Then I deauthorized my computer iTunes and reauthorized then signed in and out. Did not work. I then ran the permission  part of Utilities and then ran the repair.  after this I copied all three lines together pasted them into Terminal.  After that it worked.    I am so happy right now.  I think I had to repair the disc to get it right.  I wrote everything I did incase it was a combination of every thing. 
    This is how to enable the debug menu that is part of the thread. 
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Launch the Terminal (located at /Applications/Utilities/)
    Type the following command into the Terminal and then hit return:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    Relaunch the Mac App Store, the Debug menu is next to “Help” in the menubar
    So now to the interesting part: what me helped was to select "clear cookies" in the debug menu first, and second to select "reset Application"
    This was all found in that thread, but it is 11 pages.... this might be more helpful.  There are other suggestions in the tread if this doesn't work for you. 

  • How do I get the app store to use my debit card?

    Okay so when I first got my Mac Book it was linked to my Dad's account so therefore everything comes out of his account whenever I purchase an App from the App Store. I did try linking my own debit card to my apple ID by going to where it says you can change your billing information and adding my card information. So after that I tried purchasing something but it didn't work because I checked my online banking and it is still the same amount it was before I purchased it. Does anyone know what else I can do? I would really like to switch my apple ID to my account. My debit card is a Visa if that matters.

  • I downloaded an app off the store which said it was free and part of the 5 year promotion. I've been charged for the app by the store. I don't want the app and there's no one to speak to about it. Who can I call and how can I get the app off my phone?

    You cannot call anyone.  You contact them as everyone else does:  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    You delete the app as you do any other app.  Hold an icon until they wiggle.  Tap the "x".  This is covered in the manual.

    At my iPhone 4 I missed the App "App store". How can I get the App again???

    The App Store app cannot be deleted so look for it using Spotlight or manually in all the app pages and folders.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions: should be OFF
         iTunes : ON?
         Installing Apps: ON?
         Apps: All?

  • Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

    Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

    If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

  • How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?

    How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?
    The old ID is already grayed in the box for my ID and it does not allow me to type in my new ID.

    I appreciate your effort and realize I did not provide a lot of background.
    My issue began when I unintentionally managed to add an additional .com onto my new apple ID and the system then incorrectly verified this "none existent" address. Following days of effort and emails to Apple support I finally ended up  getting set up with my new ID on iTunes.
    The next problem was my App store login continued to have the "old" ID grayed into the signin and since I had changed it to a new ID, I could not login at the App Store.
    I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a total of 3 Apple reps without a resolution to me problem.
    The last Apple rep, Chad wanted to be able to take a screen shot of what I was telling him, which made no sense to me but I was willing to do what ever was required to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Chad hung up or somehow disconnected before I received the email required for allowing a screenshot. After calling back and adding another 5+ minutes invested, I decided to attempt to change back to my old ID.
    Once I had changed my ID back to the old one, I could download updates and purchases.
    I realize my question was asking a lot but my hope was someone would have some idea as to how to correct the problem Apple Support could not. It seems to me Apple needs to make a correction on their end but it is now into week two of attempting to solve the problem and I am pretty much disenchanted with Apple Support due to the amount of time and effort already invested and lack of progress.
    Thanks for your suggestion. I think it was a good one considering the lack of other information.
