How to Disconnect from Itunes App Store?

Hello. I need a bit of know-how advice. I recently gave my 12 year old son an iTouch for his birthday and as now that he has a taste of the app store, he is constantly wanting to try out many of the apps. He does not have the login credentials for the Itunes store so he comes to me when he wants to get an app, free or paid. This is okay with me and I gladly connect to the app store, put my login credentials in and download the app for him from his iTouch. I have found, however, that once I hand him back the iTouch and he goes his merry way that he can go off and download apps afterward because I am still logged in. He is not doing this maliciously, and they have all been free apps, but I still want control over what he is getting on the app store. I have tried turning off the iTouch after downloading an app for him, but even still, it seems like he is still connected sometimes (or maybe I'm just forgetting to turn it off, I don't know).
Can anyone here confirm for me that turning the device off after each download will disconnect it from the Itunes store? If so, maybe I AM just forgetting. Is there another way to disconnect manually before handing it back to him without turning it off and back on?
Need advice.
Thanks,
Jim

Hey Jim,
This works this way: After signing in on the computer, if you sync with any device (like your son's iPod Touch), the credentials will be copied to the iPod and therefore anyone will be able to access the App Store using your account on the iPod.
So, you should do the following:
➡ If you want to sign out on the computer, simply find you e-mail address on the top right bottom of the window, click it and then click "Sign Out".
➡ On the 3.0 version, there will be an option where you can also sign out manually. However, at this time the only thing you can do is block access to the iTunes and App Store apps on the iPod. To do so, just go to Settings.app -> General -> Restrictions.
So, all this means that turning the device off after each download won't disconnect it from the Itunes store.
Hope this helps!

  • How do you get an iphone app removed from iTunes App Store?

    Angle Bar Solutions Movie Maker app for the iPhone is being miss-sold.
    It is advertised as having Time-Lapse capabilities but it does not have these.
    When I write a review to warn others the review gets posted before the one saying that all previous reviews are irrelevant as an update has added the functionality.
    There is no update!
    The app cannot do Time-Lapse!
    I want a refund and I want Apple to remove the app from iTunes App Store.
    Please help.

    I would email iTunes Customer Service:

    When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information.
    Billing popup will display and navigating to billing detail page.

    Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item (free or paid-for) from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054

  • Can't download anything from itunes/app store after 5.0.1

    I've read a few discussions on this topic but have yet to find any solution that works, so I'm reposting hoping someone has an idea.
    We have an ipad 16gig, and recently updated to iOS 5.0.1. (via WiFi, this isn't a 3G model). Immediately after setting up after the update, the iPad can no longer update apps, download new apps, download iBooks, download songs, podcasts ... basically anything from the iTunes or App store. All are met with the message:
    "Unable to Download (name here) - (name here) could not be downloaded at this time." with a Done or Retry button.
    The same thing occurs for all apps, music, podcasts, etc... same message each time.
    During the setup after the update was installed, we agreed to the new iTunes/App Store agreement, so I don't think it's that case where iTunes can't do anything because the Agree option got lost somewhere. I also don't have any downloads pending that need to be paused.
    Solutions I have tried so far:
    1. Restarting and resetting the iPad, both via the power button, and holding down the power button / home button.
    2. Signing out of iTunes/App store, re-signing in, with two different Apple IDs.
    3. A full restore of the iPad from my computer via iTunes.
    4. Attempting to buy something free from iTunes or the App Store (somewhere this was suggested as a solution). Some descriptions of this solution implied it was to force itunes to ask you to agree to the new TOS, this hasn't happened, and we agreed to the new TOS when 5.0.1 started up.
    5. Resetting my router. Didn't think this was the issue but did it anyway.
    Googling the issue, apart from the above solutions, I've encountered something about "permissions" on a folder to which apps are downloaded being set wrong by the update, but I have no clue how to address that, it seemed to have something to do with "jailbreak" ipads of which this is not.
    I'm about ready to take it to the Apple store but I was hoping I could find something online first, and spare confusing some poor Apple employee.

    I found a solution, and it's horrible.
    1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
    And then,  basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
    3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
    4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
    5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
    But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
    Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
    All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!

    For the past week, everytime I try to download anything from the App store or iTunes I get a message saying "Unable to Download App" then it says "name of app/song trying to download" could not be downloaded at this time.  Done or Retry.
    I have logged out of iCloud, iTunes and my AppleiD and nothing has worked.  I went online on my Mac and updated my credit card (which was not out of date) and tried to buy a sont on my Mac...purchased, but could not be downloaded.  All my devices are having the same problem.  In the Error details on my Mac it says to check the Internet connection and try again.  My wifi is working fine on my mac and iPhone.

  • How to purchase from iTunes US store from outside the US?

    I just bought my first iPhone 4s and I was thinking of buying another one for my wife as she was looking forward to purcahse many books from US market.
    Can anyone suggest a solution on how to purchase from US market using credit cards from banks outside the US?
    Thank you,

    You cannot.
    You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.

  • How to update from pre App Store versions of iPhoto to iPhoto 9.6.1

    After updating to Yosemite 10.3.3 from Mavericks my old iPhoto '08 v7.1.5(378) copy of iPhoto is grayed out with the circle/bar through it. I can use Old Toads package contents workaround to run it; but would like to not have to use that workaround each time by updating it to 9.6.1
    All the posts I've found about updating to 9.6.1 use the App Store purchases list; but since that/my version of iPhoto was not purchased using the App Store, and iPhoto is not listed or hidden in my App Store Purchases list, those methods won't work for me.
    Is there anyway to upgrade from my iPhoto '08 v7.1.5(378) to iPhoto 9.6.1?  Or from iPhoto9.4 which is still available from Support/Downloads?

    Thanks léonie and Old Toad; although not the answer I was hoping for, it does save me from looking further. Disappointed that upgrading to Yosemite has (except for the inconvenient workaround) essentially killed iPhoto for me, especially since Photos does not yet have the sorting functions I need to move to it.
