HT201269 fingerprint scanning for app store and itunes

I can't use my fingerprint for App store or itunes.  It only works to unlock the phone.   Any thoughts on how to fix this?   I have the 5s 32 capacity.

  • How do I change credit card information for app store and itunes

    I am unable to change credit card infor for my app store and itunes?

    What happens when you try to change your card details ?
    You should be able to change your payment details on your computer's iTunes by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPhone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

    Does that not work ?

  • Lost my iPhone 5S icons for App Store and iTunes Store

    I was syncing my iPhone 5S to iTunes on my laptop when I noticed that suddenly two important icons were missing from my iPhone's Home Page: the App Store icon as well as the iTunes Store icon. I need them back but don't know what to do. I've tried powering down my phone for two minutes then turning back on, no luck. I have no idea how to get these icons back. When I click on a link that is supposed to take me to either place, nothing happens. Please help!

  • The "support" for app store (and itunes) is utter crap?

    When I try to guy anything from the app store, I get a message telling me to complete the purchase through itunes support.  there is no itunes support, and the link to this support forum from mac appstore support is broken.  ***?  I can download the software from pirate bay for free in 5 min, but there's no official way to get app store support from apple?  I submitted an email and got a reply saying I'd get a reply in 24 hours.  I wonder how long amazon would be in business if they had 24 hour delayed email sales support for the things they sell.  What decade is this?
    There is no error, but the way, just a friendly message telling me to use itunes support to complete the purchase, and itunes support tells me I can't get itunes support and suggested I send an email.
    Wow.  This is such a stark difference from the support I used to be able to get when Apple sold software in their stores.
    This is obviously more of a rant than a question, but I am curious if anybody else can actually get sales support for items they are trying to buy from the app store, or if everybody is as ****** as I am.

    Interesting speculation.  Not really the subject matter though, but FWIW, I don't use a bank card, I use paypal, and after this occurred, I went into itunes and made sure i could still buy things, so I bought an audio book.  I then weint into paypal and made sure nothing there was obviously broken, and there wasn't anything I could see that was.
    The problem I have is not that app store doesn't work (although, that's *a* problem), but the real issue is that *app store support* is broken.  Or rather, it does't exist.
    This is the new customer experience for all apple software, and rumor has is, hardware too (one day).  This is so far below average that it really makes me wonder what the helll is going on at apple these days.

  • App store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. Says: Account not in Store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing.

    My app store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. I already moved to the Philippines for about a year ago and my stores still won't change its location.
    I already changed the region/country in my apple id. I tried to sign out and sign in back to my account. Tried it in app store, in itunes store, in settings app, in itunes in my laptop, in the apple website. It shows that my apple id is already set to Philippines, no matter where I sign in my account.
    The problem is when I open my app store (or itunes store) in my iphone, it appears that it is in the Philippines store; however, when I sign in my account (and I tried to sign in everywhere), I cannot download any app from the Philippine store. When I try to download an app, it always says "Account not in this store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing." I have read everywhere and most of the answers say that it should automatically direct me to the correct store. It doesn't happen to me, apparently.
    I have the same problem in both my iPhones. Both are iPhone 3GS and in version 5.1.1. I don't want to upgrade to iOS6 so please don't tell me to do so. Thanks!

    try logging out of of store and then log in again

  • How are the Apps Store and iTunes store different? Which do you use for what?

    Can you explain the difference between Apps Store and iTunes store? Is Apps a subset of iTunes store? To which store do you go for what?

    Apps you buy from the Mac App store can be used on your computer.  You use the same Apple ID as the iTunes Store, but that's the only connection.
    Apps you buy from the iTunes App Store are written to run on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch).  They won't run on your computer, only on your iDevice.

  • How do I find out what I have recently purchased for the app store and iTunes I.e films, songs, albums

    How do I find out what I have recently purchased from the app store and iTunes I.e films, songs, albums &amp; apps?>.<

    On your iPad, you can open iTunes and click on Purchases.  Plus, when you purchase something from iTunes, you should get an email with the purchase details to the email you set up as your Apple ID.  They sometimes take a day or two and with the volume of things being purchased with the millions of new iPads out there in the last 3 days, that may be a bit longer.  I keep every receipt I get for future reference.

  • Authrize new device for purchase in app store and iTunes

    How can I authorize this device to purchase in app store and itunes? I can only use my iphone and ipda, but it does not allow me to use this new device i just bought... I can-t find the menu where i should do that
    thanks for your help

    If the new device is an iOS device then signing into your iTunes account on the device should be sufficient. Normally you do that when you set up the device for the first time.
    Otherwise, open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap Sign In and choose to use an existing Apple ID. Fill in your username and password and tap OK.
    iOS devices can only be associated with a given Apple ID every 90 days.

  • Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Either they've been moved to another home screen or dropped in a folder, in which case doing a search or resetting the Home Screen layout (Settings/General/Reset) should bring them up, or they've been turned off in General/Restrictions.
    Regards.

  • My App store and itunes has disappeared from my iphone

    My app store and itunes apps have disappeared from my iphone.
    I suspect Apple is responsible and is trying to force an upgrade. Does anyone know if this is true? because if it is we should object to this.
    The upgrade on my ipad was such a horrible experience, I don't want to do it to upgrade my iphone. (Upgrades have been a nightmare every since the itunes interface was changed. In my view, iTunes is the now one of the most unintuitive interface imaginable - [bar windows 8]. Prior to that it was generally easy to do upgrades and backups without hiccups and the interface was great. Now its too obscure to find what you need to do.)
    I have been an Apple fan since the original Apple computer - but am not very happy with recent changes that affect use-ability and reliability.
    General grumbling aside - every time you upgrade, you have to reload all of your apps; and a lot of favorite apps won't work with the new system. That's another reason I don't want to upgrade.
    Without the App and iTunes application - you can't selectively update the apps you want to update or even access your music.
    Questions:
    1. Does anyone know why the Apps and iTunes apps disappeared? (I'm not the only one complaining about this.)
    2. Does anyone know how to get them back without having to effectively erase your phone and start over?
    3. Does anyone know how to get iTunes on the computer to recognize your iiphone when the itunes app disappeared off it?
    Thank you.
    DD

    Hi Dahveed,
    Thank you again for the advice. But, rebooting did not help.
    In the end I was forced to upgrade.
    I am relieved to say that this upgrade went very smoothly compared to other upgrades.
    I did not have to re-download apps and they appear to be in their normal folders - except a new app page 2 (after the primary page) appeared containing only the missing apps. This was not there before.
    Answer to the disappearing Apple App Store and iTunes Dilemma:
    The answer to this problem unfortunately appears to be to upgrade the system.
    In my experience the Apps (which presumably are removed to force the user into an upgrade) then re-appear.
    On the positive side, at least on this occasion, it did not turn out to be a nightmare make work project.

  • Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my iPad 2?

    Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my ipad 2?

    If you had a backup either in iTunes or iCloud of the iPad you can restore from it by following this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If not you can go into the Purchased section of the App Store App, and download your Purchased Apps from there for free. However their data will not be restored.

  • How do I remove my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?

    Before I sold my friend my old iMac, I used the Migration Assistant to transfer all her files from her MacBook Pro to the iMac. I then deleted all my files. My old iMac and her MacBook Pro were both upgrated to Mavericks before the Migration.
    Now, she is being prompted to download and install the updates for Numbers and Pages on what used to be my iMac, but the App Store displays my account identification and asks for my password.
    (1) How can I delete my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?
    (2) How can she access the App Store and iTunes Store using her own accounts?
    Thanks in advance.

    That isn't how to prepare a Mac to sell or give away. You should deauthorize your iTunes account on the Mac. Call Apple Care and have the Mac disassociated from your Apple ID. Then erase the Mac and install the latest version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac using the Install DVD or OS X Recovery, depending on what version shipped on the Mac. Until you do this, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps belong to you. She will need to buy the iWork apps for herself, using her own account. You cannot pass any apps that you bought on to her, that would be piracy.

  • How do I fix no access to app store and itunes.

    Macbook Pro came with 10.7.3.  I migrated my Macbook from 10.6.8 and it worked for a while.  Then it got where I couldn't access the app store.  Then I couldn't access the itunes store.  I spent an hour with applecare up to level 2 today with no fix.  I cleared the user caches, dumped the application support folder, repaired permissions, ran Applejack, threw out app store plist. Booted from the recovery partition, ran terminal pulled up resetpassword in terminal, and reset the permissions and other thing (A something or other) from there.  No go.  Still doesn't work.   It works ok from another user account.   I have migrated up from a Mac LC (with stuff from an Apple //e on it) through something I don't remember the name of, a blue and white, a G3 tower and now to this and a 27 inch iMac.
    A companion problem is that the search box in the upper right hand corner of Safari doesn't work. 
    My workaround is to switch users for app store and use Chrome for browsing. 
    I had the same problem on the iMac but don't know what I did that fixed it. 
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
    Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.

  • HT1222 I got disconnected after the release of the last update! I'm disconnected only from the app store and itunes. Do i have to update to activate my account? What to do, i'm stuck.

    I got disconnected after the release of the last update! I'm disconnected only from the app store and itunes. Do i have to update to activate my account? What to do, i'm stuck.

    Have you restarted your phone?
    If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
    Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

  • After updating to iOS 8.0.2 the App Store and iTunes have disappeared, is anyone else having this problem? Help please!

    After updating to iOS 8.0.2 the App Store and iTunes have disappeared, is anyone else having this problem? Help please!

    Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.
