How can I turn off in app purchases?

I want my kids to be able to use my iPad, but, they keep making in app purchases without meaning to. No doubt exactly the intention of the developer. Is there a way to turn off in app purchases?

Yes there is...

    How do you turn off in app purchases on imac?

    I'm assuming you mean by using the Mac App Store, if so AFAIK  you cannot turn them off. However if you want to prevent someone from making purchases change your AppleID password and don't give it out. Without the password they cannot make purchases. Either that or you can simply sign out. How you sign out in the Mac App Store is Under Quick Links click Account then click Sign Out. Once you are signed out no purchases can be made.

  • How do you turn off in- app purchasing?

    How do I turn off in-app purchasing? I recently incurred a $30.00 charge for coins on an Ice Age game. Is there a away to block this feature on my ipad?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Which is easily remedied in the restriction directly under in-app purchases where the 15 minutes can be changed to immediately, which means that the password is required to authorize every single purchase.

  • How can I turn-off the apps which I have opened once in ISO 7.0.2. In previous version of ISO it was easy to turn- the opened apps by double clicking on home button and then click and hold on respective apps then click on cross sign.

    How can I turn-off the apps which I have opened once in ISO 7.0.2. In previous version of ISO it was easy to turn-off the opened apps by double clicking on home button and then click and hold on respective apps then click on cross sign but in this version I could not do so and my iPad appears slower.

    Close inactive apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • How do you turn off in app purchases

    My son was playing the free app download Restaurant Story and made a lot of in app purchases. I don't know how he made the purchases or how you can legally  charge somebody for playing a game that is marked FREE. Does anybody know how to turn off "in app" purchases?

    Assuming this is an iOS device (iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, etc):
    Find and click on the Settings icon
    Select General from the list on the left.
    Scroll down on the right until you see Restrictions. Click on it.
    At the top, click where it says 'Enable Restrictions'.
    It should come up with a box that says 'Set Passcode'. Enter a 4-digit number (you can use the letters to remember it). Keep it as unguessable as possible, but something you can remember. You'll have to enter it twice to confirm.
    Scroll Down to the 'Allowed Content' section. Turn OFF the slider next to In-App Purchases. It should not show 'OFF'. That will take care of the In-App Purchases problem.
    I highly recommend looking at the other restrictions in the same section - you can restrict Safari, for example, if you want to restrict you kid's web surfing, and set age-level restrictions on music, videos, movies, apps etc. You can also turn off multi-player games and the function for Adding Friends.

    I can only purchase 3 times per day,how can i turn off this sort of protection?

    You cannot go back, but you can fix the battery problem, which is NOT an iOS 7 problem. I've had much better battery life on iOS 7 than I have have had in the previous 6 years of iPhones. If you are not then there's something wrong with your phone, not with iOS 7.

    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.

  • How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?

    How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?
    When I try to sign out Icloud I get the warning (( If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in Icloud will be removed from this Mac))
    I don,t want to remove my document on my computer, what should I do? 

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.
