How do I review the purchases I've made via app store?

More specifically, I'm interested in the in-app purchses and in-app upgrades purchased. I'm aware that emails will be sent to me but these are often untimely and lacking in details.
This is not helped at all by the overly convoluted way that Apple uses for password security. Reentering the same password x times does not make it more secure! In my opinion, this has the exact opposite effect. Out of shear frustration, most of us (myself definitely) will find ourself becoming conditioned to blindly tapping away our password whenever requested without thinking.
Consider this: "Hello, can I steal you password?"  "Password? Here you go."
Why not introduce a new (purchase) password. Simple, current password for login and authentication and the new password to make purchases. At least then we know we are not buying something multiple times, and Apple can authentical to their hearts content. We'll need to pay attention to why we are typing in our  password too which must be a plus to security. Clear as mud? Lol.
Thanks in advance if anyone can answer my question.

Thanks for the.reply.
I am not opposed to the app store system at all. In fact, I appreciate Apple taking steps to secure it. But ask yourself this. On your last purchase where you had to reenter your password multiple times, what purposes were they for. I doubt that any of us can remember and pay much attention to it after a while. And if someone did compromise my password, I don't think they'll have trouble retyping it. Introducing a purchase password would not only explicitly differentiate between making a purchase and logging-in, it will also make the system more secure and less confusing.
My problem with the app store system, at present, is with its apparent lack of details. Especially with in-app purchases and upgrades. Did I make the purchase or was that for authentication? The email usually arrive a few days later. There is no quick way to check. Ok, if you are using credit/debit cards you might be able to check with your card company online. But what if you are using vouchers? Shouldn't there be an itemised list of purchases and prices paid. I guess thats what I am looking for. Help anyone?

    How can i remove the terms and conditions from my app store icon on iphone 5s

    Hello mrh1962,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accepting Terms & Conditions on your iPhone 5s.
    First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • "Use the purchases page to try again" App store update error in Mavericks

    When Mavericks came out, I did a clean install of the OS. The first thing I did upon logging in, was reverting iTunes back to 10.7 before I opened it so it wouldn't update my iTunes library files and make them incompatible with any version lower than 11 (I went backt to 10.7 some time ago).
    However, this seems to cause a problem with the App store - specfically updating apps. Whenever I try to update anything, I get this error message:
    After going to the purchases page, it then looks like this:
    And so after trying to update it from the purchaes page, I still get this error message:
    The only work around I have found to work is to update itunes to version 11, update the apps, then downgrade back to 10.7 again. This is a hastle so I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Obviously the app store in Mavericks needs iTunes 11 installed for it to work correctly - so I was thinking, was there a way to trick OSX into thinking that I have iTunes 11 installed when I actually have 10.7? I'm assuming there must be a file somewhere included in the version 11 install that the app store looks for to work with?
    Any advice/help would be appreciated!

    Ok,  time to troubleshoot then.
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Run the terminal app in your Utilities folder
    Copy & Paste this command exactly and hit return:
    open $TMPDIR../C/
    In the Finder window that appears, place the com.apple.appstore folder into the trash.
    Restart the Mac App Store and see if things work now.

  • How can I change the e.mail address from my APP store?

  • Mountain Lion (purchased) cannot be downloaded via App Store. Help!

    I bought Mountain Lion via the App Store, and now I cannot re-download this now that Mavericks has launched. It is "not available in the US App Store," apparently.
    I would like access to the software I purchased. How are other people fetching their (download-only) software they purchased? While the whole innovation of central stores IS THAT APPLE KEEPS MY PURCHASED SOFTWARE, if this is not the case, I'll need to keep local copies, and need advice on how to fetch my purchased software.

    I had a shockingly, unacceptably bad experience today at the local Apple Store over this issue. Upsetting because uniform build quality and good service is what differentiates Apple from Dell, and creates the extra hardware expense.
    For others who are having this issue:
    Apparently Apple Stores do not have, or have access to, the "non-slipstreamed" (e.g. Universal) version of the OS X Mountain Lion installer that you and I paid for in the App Store.
    If pressed, the only solution given is to create a backup disk (or boot-up USB stick) from Control-R on startup.
    Said solution, however, will generate a boot image that is contingent and dependent upon the hardware on which it was created. Therefore, if you move from a Mac Mini platform to a laptop, and try to install the Operating System--which you have paid for--from this USB stick, you might not be able to boot the system.
    The recourse given is to "call 1800-My-Apple," which may or may not have a charge associated with it.
    Oh, and #5: Apple Store employees (not the Genius) may tell you you are violating copyright when in fact you are taking an action protected under EULA and Fair Use provisions (e.g. backup copy, one-copy-for-one-computer).
    All in all, this has soured me on my upcoming Apple hardware purchase. LUCKILY for me, I might have found a copy of my Install OS X Mountain Lionpackage. Good thing I did not rely upon digital curation to maintain my digital purchase.
    Lessons?
    Make a copy of everything you purchase via the App Store. Even if it's a curated store, apparently there is no guarantee that your purchased software is retained.
    Maintain multiple backups.
    Be very, very careful when moving across hardware platforms with a Command-R-generated boot drive. Apparently this can create chaos. Silly me, I'd have thought the "full" version of the installer would be used when creating a boot disk via starting up in rescue mode.

  • Hey, is there anyway I can view my receipt from the last payment I made on App Store?

    Is there any way I can view my receipt from the last payment I made on iTunes?

    You can view your full purchase history via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent is above the list).
    On your phone you can view recent purchases (the last 90 days I think), and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with a purchase, via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • How do i change the wrong apple id in my app store on my phone

    My phone wasn't working right, so I took it to the sprint store to get a new one using my insurance and they gave me a new one. the only weird thing is that when I go to update my apps it asks me to long on to someone else's email. I have gone into my settings and made sure that my apple id was correct but it still pops up when I go to update o even buy apps. I don't know who's email this is. The only thing I can think of, is that its someone from the sprint stores apple id, because they connected my phone to their computer and backed it up and then put it on my computer. All I know it that I'm frustrated and I just want to update my apps.

    A brand new phone wouldn't have a stranger's Apple ID appearing for app updates.
    Pretty sure that Sprint, Verizon, T-Mo and AT&T all use some returns as replacements for customers.
    Not everything they use for replacement is an actual Apple refurb.

  • I already purchased the OS X Mountain Lion via App Store, why is it i cannot download it?, I already purchased the OS X Mountain Lion via App Store, why is it i cannot download it?

    I have macbook air (11 inch, mid 2011) with the latest version 10.7.5, with Mac OS X Lion, so i've decided to upgrade it to mountain lion, but why cant I download it? The mountain lion icon appeared in my launchpad but the download does not push through. Why is that so? Thanks for your help.

    For effective and efficient use of your cxomputer the hard drive should always have at least 15% of its storage capacity Free, to use for swap files and OS management.  If you only have 33 GB's free, that sounds a little iffy.  I would start by trying to free up some space, then go from there in your troubleshooting.
    Hope this helps

  • HT4059 how can i read books when not connected to wifi , at the moment have to g through apps store , which requires a connection . I want the books on the i pad not in  a acloud

    How can i read books purchased from i books when not connected to wifi . At the moment can only access via app store , which can only do when connected . I want top download to the device , not keep in a cloud!

    If you download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on your iPad then they should show in the Books collection on the app's bookshelf - and you should be able to read any books that you download from the store to your bookshelf without needing to be online.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

  • How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    Hi,
    Yes you are miss understanding the problem.  To clarify. The problem is not how to delete the book from a device, it is how to delete the puchase (i.e. the history).  You can hide it in your account settings, but you cannot delete it. So if you buy something on a shared account (i.e. a family account like mine), your children can see and download any of your puchases - forever.
    Some will say it's for your protection.  A bit like the shop looking after your receipt, so that you cannot lose it.
    However, I thought that as part of the data protection act, you could ask for this information kept about you to be deleted, but this doesn't apply to Apple purchases.  Believe me I've tried.

  • How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in R/3?

    Hello All.
    In case of MM, purchasing group is assigned to material master.
    It means purchasing group is maintained based on material code.
    But SRM has different maintenance level.
    As you know that purchasing group has the responsibility based on material group (Product category).
    So we should change the purchasing group from R/3, when end user create shopping cart.
    How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in material master?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,

    Hello So Hee,
    I am not a technical guy.
    But for your requirement i am building a logic.
    I am not sure whether it will work.
    You need to check with your ABAPER.
    It is as below:
    When the SC is approved and the other configuration is correct ,
    PR is created in ECC by the virtue of BAPI.
    You want that the pur grp should be populated on the base of matl code and not on matl grp.
    Hence in SC you will not fill up pur grp.
    In the programme for BBPSC01 i.e. SC creation you will add modification that it will call a custom FM.
    This custom FM will get the matl code from SC and will find the value of pur grp from R/3 MM01i.e. matl master(you may get in MARA).
    Now in the BAPI you need to incorporate this additional value of yr pur grp field.
    So the desired pur grp as per yr R/3 matl master will be populated in yr R/3 PR.
    Again: this is all hypothesis.
    That's all I can help you.

  • How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    When I connect my iPhone to my computer, I get the message that a newer version of iPhone software is available. However, when I click on the link to download and install the software, I get the message "There are purchased items on the iPhone that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone." How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    You may need to enable the Menu Bar.
    In the upper right hand corner, there should be a small box, half dark colored and half light, with a small arrow next to it. Click there, and choose "Show Menu Bar" from the resulting menu. At that point, you should be able to select File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, as explained by roaminggnome.
    A second option you have is to show the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar. After this is done, right click on your device in the sidebar, and "Transfer Purchases" should be an option.
