HT1338 buying from the App store

I am trying to buy from the App Store (pages to be more specific) using the money I have in my account but I am only able to buy using my visa information.
How do I use the money in my account instead?

With a balance over $100, even with fees and taxes, your VISA account should not be charged.
Try selecting None in the Edit Payment window so the App Store is forced to deduct the total from the balance.
Click Account on the right side of the App Store window. Enter your Apple ID and password then click View Account (you may be prompted for your password one more time)
Then click Edit to the right of Payment Type and select None then click Done bottom right corner of the App Store window.
Then try purchasing Pages.

I am based in India, how do i buy from the app store using an indian credit card? The app store is saying that my apple id is valid only for US purchases and that I need a US credit card!

Buying from the App Store--how many machines can I install it on?

When I buy Mountain Lion from the app store, am I permitted to install it on my wife's machines as well as mine? My children's?

Yes on all computers you own using the same Apple ID of the original purchase.
Make sure your household computers meet these hardware requirements.
Back up each Mac user home directory. The home directories will not be touched during an Upgrade, but it is good diligence anyway.
You can re-download the Mountain Lion updater to each Mac by using the Option key in the App Store Purchases section. The last thing the updater does on completion, is remove itself from the computer.
Make sure that any applications you presently use have been upgraded to work with Mountain Lion. PowerPC applications will no longer work. Some Applications may need to be reinstalled.

How do I re-download aperture if I didn't buy from the app store?

I bought Aperture a long while back (I think as AP2), and then upgraded to 3. I've now replaced my HD and need to reinstall it.
Easiest thing I can think of would be to download it from the app store, but I didn't buy it through the app store. Is there another way to re-install aperture? Or, alternatively, is there a way to "upgrade" to the app store version, which would be more convenient altogether?
Thanks! -a.

Boo :-(
I mean, I still have the old hard drive... I guess I could just copy the application over, but there's probably a bunch of support files I don't want to track down by hand.
Or, maybe I can download the Aperture 3 trial from Apple and try entering my serial into that? I might give that a shot.
Thanks for the help,
- a.

Can't download or buy from the App Store

Whenever I try to download or buy something from the App Store it tells me to give the 3 security questions and I click ok than a pop up appears to write my password but it keeps popping every time I write although its correct so I can't buy or download anything from the App Store , plzzzz help

I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
1) Installing iBooks on your iPad via iTunes on PC/MAC
2) Adjust the time of your iPad to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
4) Open iBooks on your iPad, download any 1 book
5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
7) Done!
I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.

I have changed my apple I'd primary email account yet when I try to buy things from the App Store it keeps showing the previous email address- can any one advise why?

I have changed my apple I'd primary email account and saved the changes yet when I try to buy from the App Store it still lists the old email address- can anyone advise how to fix this?

What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app ? If it's the old email address that you had on your account then try tapping on it and log out of your account and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

I prefer not to purchase my OS X major upgrades from the App Store.

I want media for recovery and peace of mind. I hope the App Store is not the only distribution model for Lion. I do not really want to purchase any significant application from the App Store - iLife, iWork - I want media for all important applications. Please provide a Box Set for Lion with the latest application versions.

Currently you have the right to backup any purchase you buy from the App Store for you to reinstall later if you wish.
From this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4482
Summary
The Mac App Store remembers all apps you purchase with your account. Apps you purchase and install from Mac App Store can also be copied to an external hard drive, USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, or backed up via Time Machine.
If you save a copy of an app to removable media (such as an external hard drive) or file share, simply drag the app back from its storage location to your Applications folder. When you open the restored app for the first time, you may be required to sign in with the Apple ID account that was used to purchase the app.
If you purchase an App, you can install it on any machine you control with your Apple ID, that is the protection that has been installed to protect theft of the App.
Presumably, Lion will be the same, and Apple will release instructions of how to make it bootable when the software is actually released.

TS1702 I downloaded from the Apps.store a game named 'Ninja Run'. When I was playing this game, I got out and then received a message,'"Do you want to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-?". When I clicked the "Buy"

I downloaded from the Apps.store a game named,"Ninja Run". When I was plkaying the game, I got out and a message appeared, asking me whether I would like to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-. When I hit the,"Buy"button, I was asked to confirm my Credit card details. I confirmed it and was asked to enter the Security Code. When I did so,, a message appeared telling me that the Security Code was invalid and the purchase could not be completed. When I continued the game and got out again, the message appeared again asking me whether I wanted to buy. Thinking that my purchase was not completed, I again hit the,"Buy" button. Nothing happened. I continued the game and when I got out, I received the same message and obliged accordingly. This went on for three or more times. By this time,however I got confused and quit the game. All these things happened on 6th September 2013. The next day,I was shocked to see 5 receipts from the Apple Apps.store in the In Box of my email account,each for Rs.170/-
totalling Rs850/. Worse still, when I played the game the next day and got out and asked for a revival, would you believe it, I was again asked whether I would like to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-.
Thus,I ended up buying a game for Rs.850/- while the actual price is only Rs.170/-,and not even able to play the full game.
Could anyone please tell me whether I can get a refund of Rs.680/-,the extra amount I paid for this game.
I will be much thankful to anyone who can guide me and help me claim the refund. Thank everyone.

Welcome.
Two words of advice, it is much easier to read lower case than capitals. Secondly, never quote your email address publicly like this to prevent it from being harvested. The same applies to your telephone.
As a first step, do a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
Next, u go into your account again and try changing the method of payment to None. If you get past this then download any free app. If successful, go back into your account and enter your credit card details again and see what happens.

Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

I have 1 iMac, two users (myself and my wife), 2 different Apple ID's, and I want to buy Pages from the App Store so we both can use. Is this possible without having to buy it twice?

I am wanting to purchase the Pages app from the App Store. I do not want to purchase it 2 times, once for me, and again for my wife. We both share the same iMac, and we both use seperate Apple ID's. Is there a way to purchase it under my user, and have it download to her user as well? I have searched all over the forums for a cut and dry answer to this, to no avail. Any help in the matter would be appreciated, as I am a newbie on the Mac.

No. You need to buy it for your Apple ID and for the other. You will have problems with updates

I downloaded Lion from the app store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install on my Macbook Pro and iPad or is there another way to do that?

I downloaded Lion from the App Store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install it on my Macbook Pro and iPad, or is there another way to do that?
All my electronics are about a year old. iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
MacBook Pro is OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549. Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
Thank you for your help.
ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time. 2nd try.

Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
“Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.
