How do you enable in-app purchases for the iPod Touch?

I have apps like Puzzle Quest and Arena 9 on my iPod that have content I can buy from within the app, but whenever I try to purchase the said content, my iPod keeps saying "In-app purchases are currently disabled". I tried to find it in setting or on iTunes but I can't find a way to enable them.
Assistance please? Thanks.
Notes:
I have enough money on my account to purchase the content.
If ever I should have to deauthorize and reauthorize my iPod to fix this, doesn't that mean all my app data will be deleted? (e.g. game progress, files saved on my apps, etc)

First, what version of iOS do you have on your iPod touch? You need iOS 3 or iOS 4 for in-app purchases to be available.
If you have an appropriate version of iOS, go to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. If you can't get it, Restrictions are enabled and In-App Purchases may be set to "Off". You'll need the passcode set by whoever turned on the Restrictions to verify and if necessary change the setting.
Regards.

  • My sister and i have shared an itunes account for a while and we want our own accounts now but she still wants all the music she purched on the joint account and i still want all my app purchases for my ipod touch.

    is there any solution to this problem?

    Okay, but this is nothing new.  Purchased content has ALWAYS been permanently tied to the AppleID account used to buy it.  It has never been transferable between accounts, or playable on computers not authorized for that account.
    It has nothing to do with how you sync or save your OWN music.  You cannot authorize your computer for music bought with an AppleID that you do not control.

  • How do you update a later version of the iPod touch? Mine dosen't have the update button in settings.

    I am confused because I downloaded on the computer the newest iTunes and it is not updating when I plug it in........How do I update my iOS 4.1 iPod to the newest iOS??? Please help. Thanks!

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

    It's automatic, as long as your balance covers the price of the item (including any applicable taxes e.g. state sales tax if you are in the US) then only your account's balance will be charged (if it doesn't cover it then any remainder will be charged to your credit card).

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.

  • Does the Apps store will come in the 2.1 update for the iPod Touch 1G?

    Does the Apps store will come in the 2.1 update for the iPod Touch 1G?
    Does my ipod touch 1G can play games like the ipod touch 2G??
    anyone can help?

    since i dont have credit card, i paid $10 just for an update with nothing to do.
    You need a Credit Card or an iTunes gift card to create an iTunes account.
    Since you purchased the 2.0 upgrade, you already have an iTunes account.
    The 2.0 upgrade comes with the Apps store you can use on the iPod touch. Also, you can use the App store in iTunes.
    With both of these you can download free apps and you do not need a credit card since you already have an iTunes account.
    If you wish to make an actual purchase (pay money) for an app, you will need a CC or gift card balance on you iTunes account.
    Free apps/games thru the App store require an iTunes account (which you already have) and do not require that you have a CC or gift card balance.
