HT201371 Touch ID only for app-store purchases and iTunes

I'd like to enable Touch ID for app-store purchases/updates and for iTunes. However, I don't want to have to use a passcode or a touch id in order to unlock the phone. Is this possible?
I go to settings > touch id & passcode. I click the switch for app store and iTunes. Then it automatically turns on my passcode so I have to use my passcode to unlock my phone. I don't want this passcode to automatically be turned on.

that still should be up to my discretion. If i dont store anything I consider valuable in the first place, i shouldn't have to have a passcode.
I want touch id only for my iTunes purchases. Its inconvenient to have to enter it every time i buy something...but I dont want a passcode on my phone.
Lots of people use my phone at home (for various reasons) and i hate having to tell people the password every time someone new wants too look through it (for example, a dinner party i was at the other day, and everyone wanted to check out my new iPhone 6).
oh well. Its as first world as a problem gets, but within the scope of the apple universe/ecosystem, it irks me when i dont have the option to remove an annoyance.....i love just swiping the screen and immediately clicking on whatever app i need rather than waste 2 seconds positioning my thumb and wait for it to unlock. like i said, first world problem, but 2 seconds is a pain in the *** in my high speed tech world...and i hate myself just having to re-read what i just wrote

HT201371 A "bug"?. Need touch ID only for app store and no passcode to unlock the Phone!

Hello. I have an Iphone 5S and have a doubt about the touch id. I want to use it only for getting apps from the apps or itunes store. To unlock the phone i don´t want neither touch id or passcode. Is this possible?
I´ve tried all the options available.
- if only select touch id for app store, it keeps asking me the passcode to unlock the phone
- If i turn the passcode off, it doesn´t allow me of course to use touch id anywhere...
Thanks in advance for the help!

If you're using Touch ID, it takes no longer to unlock your phone than it does to pick it up. That's the whole point. It certainl doesn't take 5 seconds. Of course, it also doesn't take 5 seconds for me to enter a 4 digit passcode.
Best of luck.

How to get a refund for app store purchases after 90 days

Is it possible to recieve a refund for App store purchases after 90 days have passed. In my case I purchased several apps by the same developer which cost around £10 in total, but due to a recent update they are now unusable and lead to frustration as they are impossible to use. The initial purchase was longer than 90 days ago, however the most recent update that has lead to the faulty item was probably within the last 90 days.
many thanks.

IOS 6.0.1 update still no fix for App Store Purchased section

iOS 6.0.1 update still no fix for App Store Purchased section. Keep crashing after few seconds and kicked back to home.
Does apple even aware of this problem???

Hi, thanks for your comment.
The steps that I have dines so far is similar to you I think. I have all so tried a restore on all my devices running 6.0.1 and still nothing. Have spoke to staff in an Apple shop and they were no help at all and kind said it was my devices that had the issue and nothing to do with anything at Apples end. Have all s spoke to staff in a premium retail seller of Apple products and again, no he,o what so ever. I think it's clearly a issue at Apples end with the serves sending out that data when request. IOS6 is full of bugs and runs so slow it silly.
I'm thinking that Android is the way the forward after all the problems I've had with iOS6.

I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in. I am told my ID or password is incorrect. I did change my primary email address. that is the app ID that is showing.

How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software? I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID. I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air. Where can i get on-line assistance?

If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

TouchID for App Store purchases doesn't work after turning phone off and back on?

TouchID for unlocking my iPhone 5s works 99.9% of the time. It's fantastic. However, using it to authorize App Store purchases, NOT in-app purchases, is less fantastic. In my case, it seems like every time I turn my phone off and back on, the phone forgets it's can use TouchID to authorize app purchases. I have to go into Settings -> General -> Passcode & Fingerprint -> (enter my passcode) -> Fingerprints -> iTunes & App Store, and turn that off. Then I have to turn it back on and enter my Apple ID password. Not exactly a quick procedure. The good news is that once I turn it back on, it works like it's supposed to until I turn my phone off and back on again. If it can remember to use TouchID for unlocking the phone, why can't it remember to use TouchID for authorizing App Store stuff? Am I missing something?
Anyone else experiencing the same thing and/or have a solution? Thanks!

I don't have any restrictions set on my phone at all.

How long does it take to receive email receipts for App Store purchases?

I've been using iTunes for awhile but only recently got an iPhone. Whenever I've purchased music from iTunes I would usually get an email receipt same day or next day. I purchased my first iPhone app from the App Store five days ago but still have not received an email receipt (email address is correct and I checked spam folder). Is this normal? I'm kind of a stickler about keeping records for my credit card purchases and would like to have a receipt for all purchases. I read somewhere an email is sent every $20 spent or every 12 hours, whichever comes first. I've made other app purchases since then but not $20 worth. But since it's been five days since my first purchase, something has to be wrong, no? Additionally, is there a way to find and print receipts? I know you can go to 'purchase history' in iTunes and do a screen grab, but if I have to do that for each purchase here on out, that will be depressing. Also it's not much of a receipt since it doesn't show which credit card was used.
Thanks for input,
Joe

Well wouldn't you know it? I received the email receipt tonight! Only took a full 5 days. Of course it comes right after I posted this question... I guess the 12 hours thing is bunked--maybe only when it comes to app purchases--but at least they sent it.

Is it possible to use fingerprint for App Store purchases but still be able to just swipe to unlock the phone?

I seem to make it where I can unlock my iPhone 6 with a mere swipe (without a passcode or fingerprint scan) and still be able to use fingerprint for app purchases. Is this possible?

Hi,
I'm not sure if we can directly convert the Android project to Windows Phone/Store app project, but we can share the code between deferent platforms, as the documentation says here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn771552.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#ShareHTML
If the code is specific to Android platform, it's not possible to convert it to windows platform I think.

App store purchase and complaint

On my iphone I bought the photograper's ephemeris app from the app store for £5.99. I then backed up my phone, updated to ios6. Now there is no record in iTunes or the app store that I ever purchased this app. I need someone at apple to resolve this for me. Who do I contact in customer services to get this isssue quickly resolved. I want to speak to someone on the phone, just like if I purchased a product from any other store.

Hello, I am disgusted with apple support because of the difficulty to resolve an issue with Apple Store. It has been over a month now and every time I communicate with someone by e-mail I have gone through 6 different persons who either don't read the previous information or are not competent to resolve.
Result, the problem is still there. I have tried phone contact and have waited litterally hours on the line while someone talks to someone else in another part of service or at iTunes. I have twice been told that I would be called back later and nobody ever calls back. I have tried to backtrack to one of those no show telephones and they didn't find the person who was supposed to call me back even if I had a name.
This is getting to be a nightmare and is exactly the opposite of why I had switched to apple.
I have tried all of your suggestions Carolyn and still haven't been able to resolve.
Is there any company ombudsman or something we can do to get our difficulties with obtaining results heard?

Just what IS the procedure for App Store review (and resubmit)?

So when I submit an app for the first time I understand why there would be a 1 week, even 2 week wait for someone at Apple to review it. Actually, it's quite a luxury to have Apple experts to review and test an app for me.
Last time I did this, in about 10 days after submission they spotted a relatively minor issue (there wasn't an alert panel when there was no internet connection and the user tried a search). OK fine. So I implemented one.
Another 10 days or so later I get another rejection, this time for another minor issue - one that I was able to fix in about 10 minutes of coding. A total of 15 minutes after getting the rejection email from Apple, the new binary was submitted.
Do I wait another 10 days again?
Is it the same person who reviews the "revisions" at least?
Isn't there a better way?
A 10-day turnaround for even the smallest incremental fix, with potentially a different person reviewing the app each time (and do they do a "full" review each time?) seems awfully inefficient ... not to mention frustrating.
Does anyone have any (real) insights as to how the process works?
Thanks,

Search this forum - your question has been answered before. In a nutshell Apple has no idea what you changed when you resubmit a fix for a rejected app. So it goes back to the end of the line. I'd bet 9.5 of the 10 days your app was just sitting in a queue waiting to be looked at.
But each time you submit, someone must do a full regression test because they have no idea what you might have changed. I know it's frustrating. It would be nice to get one rejection with a list of all the little things instead of getting rejected on the first flaw. Wait 10 days - oops, another minor flaw.
But it sure is good incentive to test the heck out of your own app. As a single developer it's the hardest part (at least for me). I know my app inside and out. It's best to get a 2nd set of eyes. A non-developer is even better. Get a real user. They will point out all the little things like a missing alert or what not. As the developer you don't always worry about such a small detail. But Apple is big on user experience. Think like a user.
Speaking of which, it's time for me to put my user hat on. I'm polishing my app right now. Details, details, details.

Deletion of icloud account consequences to App Store, email and iTunes

Does deleting my icloud account on my iPad cause me open a new one for the App Store and iTunes, and a new email address?

This article may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
The short answer is that you cannot change the iCloud mail account associated with your AppleID . You can create additional aliases (with some limitations), but you can also use different AppleIDs for different things (one for iCloud and email, another for itunes and app stores for example).

HT4009 ITUNES APP STORE PURCHASES AND TAX???

Why am I being charged tax on an app purchase??? Is this an iTunes policy?

I imagine iTunes/Apple is following the law of whatever jurisdiction you live in.

Wondering if i upgraded to the latest osx would it effect my logic? i would be doing both via app store purchases and wanted to be 100% sure everything runs smooth before i do upgrade

does it lag or did they fix it with last update?

I would wait until the next incremental update (10.8.3) to be released and see the results before upgrading.
There are some problems still, besides the lag that affects some, the latest OS is less efficient than previous versions. If Logic is important and you have a system that working well, why upgrade unless there's something that's a must have.

HT4623 How do I retore app icons to screen after IO6 update? They now appear only in App store list

How do I retore app icons to screen after IO6 update? They now appear only in App store list

Go to iTunes, click on Apps in the left window, to bring up your app library. Then click on "check for updates" in the right window, bottom corner. If there are any updates available, you'll be notified of the number and you'll have to choose the apps you want to update in the next screen shown, or update them all at once after filling in your password.
You can also click on one app in the library and choose "get info" to see the actual version saved in your library.
