I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store

I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store.
After I sign in, and want to leave a review I get the following message: "You must own this item to write a Customer Review. In order to write a Customer Review for this item you must have purchased or downloaded it."
I used to be able to write and edit my reviews which I have done! But now I can't anymore even though I have bought and/or downloaded several apps. iTunes won't let me write a review anyway.
Any help is appreciated.

I have the same problem (for Mac and iPhone apps) and contacted Apple about this.
The English speaking support said it is a known error and that they are working on a solution. The German support however (which I contacted first, unfortunately) gave me a refund of the apps I wrote them as an example. They told me I should buy them again – which is not possible, since the MacAppStore then gives the message "You have already purchased this app..." Ironically, for one of the two apps I was finally able to write a review, even at this point it wasn't listed in the purchased apps list anymore.
I've never asked for a refund, and it's causing me more trouble than I had before: now I cannot update these refunded apps anymore (since they are not listed in the "Purchased" list). So I have to check manually if there is a new update (comparing version numbers) and then delete the app and "purchase" it again. Of course I would simply buy the apps from the developer directly, however, they are MacAppStore only.
When I asked the AppStore support about a solution for this problem, they said it's technically not possible to write reviews for refunded apps (? yes, of course they were not really reading what I wrote them. I guess support at Apple is done by Siri now) and gave 10 free iTunes songs.
I think reviews are very important for both customers and developers and it's not just a minor inconvenience, but a serious problem; what is especially disturbing, is that it's not the same for all apps: for Pixelmator, I had no problems to post a review, for Jumsoft's "Relationship" it doesn't work, for some apps it worked immediately, for some after a few weeks, for some never.

  • IPhone no longer syncs with computer--"Cannot access the iTunes store"

    My iPhone 2G has decided to no longer sync with my iTunes. I do not have internet on my computer (I'm doing this on a friend's), so when I connect my iPhone to my computer, an error message pops up that says "Cannot access the iTunes store". Since my iPhone is normally synced manually, I can still drag new files onto it; however, any movies/podcasts on the iPhone keep reappearing even after I've deleted them (from the iPhone itself). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Delete then re-install iTunes & Delete the following files:
    The iTunes application (located in /Applications)
    com.apple.iTunes.plist (from ~/Library/Preferences)
    iTunes.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    iTunesX.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    then re-download the latest version of iTunes.

  • Navigating Multiple App Pages In The Itunes Store

    I have been trying to look at the 15000+ utilities Apps available for my Ipod on the Itunes store.  I find that if I click on a App to check it out, that when I click on the back button to go back to the last page that I was on, I instead, end up right back at the first page for the Utilities Apps, no matter what page I was on when I checked out the App.  This required me to remember what page I was last on and then reselect it to continue looking at the Apps on that page.  Because the list of pages at bottom of the page only goes up to 5 (plus the last page), I have to start on page 5 (for page numbers higher than 5) and then click one page at a time until I get to the desired page.  As there are dozens of pages in the Utilities Apps listing, this results in a lot of time and mouse clicks to get back to the page where I left off.  What can I do to get around this problem as this setup makes it unlikely that I will look further than the first 5 pages for available Utility Appps?

    Apple released an update to iTunes today (7.4.1.), which seems to have solved the problem.

  • Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

    Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
    I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
    However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
    Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
    Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
    If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
    And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
    I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
    Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.

  • Why can't i successfully put in Paypal for the itunes store....have tried numerous time and get success and then unsuccessful

    I want to get 2 updates iPhoto and iMovie that are available and can't get past the requirement to add a payment source.  I've gone through the process several times and will get a successful and then unsuccessful.  The 1st note I get is that it hasn't been used for the iTunes store, which I never use....so frustrated.

    Problem resolved. Learned from a tech that I could choose "none", which is grey in the choices.  Did that and was able to then get my available free updates.  I didn't want to set up a prepaid account and didn't have to.  Seems to be a glitch in the system but I'm done with that on.

    When I left an older Windows laptop behind and bought a new MacBook Air, I had to transfer all of my songs over by copying them onto an SD card and then opening it with the new (and empty) iTunes on the MBA. Worked really well...

  • HT4009 I can't seem to find a place to request a refund for app purchased from the iTunes store.  Can anyone help?

    I downloaded an app and tried to make an in-app purchase.  When I did so, the app said it could not finish the transaction, but it didn't say why.  However, I got a statement from iTunes and see that I have been charged for the in-app purchase for the service, even though the app itself still says I have not subscribed.  Does anyone know how I get a refund?
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Michelle

    Thanks!  I'll try it.  I didn't know you could just contact support.

  • No longer able to purchase anything in the iTunes store

    As of yesterday, I can no longer make purchases. Pressing the "Buy" button just doesn't do anything. Any word from Apple about this problem? I can see others are experiencing the same issue.

    I have the same problem. Looks like the latest iTunes upgrade will not work on older operating systems. Can't understand why they would make a change like this and lose many loyal customers. I was renting movies and buying music regularly right up until yesterday and now I can't buy anything. My latest iTunes version is 10.6.3, I hear the most recent iTunes is 11.1. I'll need a new computer to run that.
    Is Apple able to do a fix so customers with older OS can still buy from them?

  • Why won't my apps connect to the iTunes Store?

    I can't search for specific apps now.  I can only browse the advertised ones.  Why am I getting an error message saying "CANNOT CONNECT TO iTUNES STORE"

    There appears to be an issue going on with the App Store right now.
    I can access the store but cannot do a search without first selecting one app and have it pop up in the window, then enter my app into the search field and then struggle through a couple of more steps until apps appear in the list based on the "keyword" in the search bar, and then I can tap on one of those from there.
    Something is wrong on Apple's end is my belief.

  • Can i set an allowance for myself in the itunes store?

    i want to set monthly or weekly spending limits. for obvious reasons. can i set an allowance?

    An alternative is to buy prepaid iTunes Store cards. If you remove the credit card information from your iTunes Store account, you'd then be limited to the amount of balance from the cards.

  • HT201272 How can I get my old ringtones back from the iTunes Store?

    How can I get my ringtones back?

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • The car gauge app available from the itunes store utilizes an OBDII Bluetooth adapter, but I can't configure the Bluetooth address. How can I use this app I just installed, it has to have the Bluetooth address configured.

    I saw an advertisement in a car magazine for an app that would provide gauge read outs available for download from the app store. So I went to the app store, found the app, downloaded and installed it. I then purchased the Bluetooth OBD hardware adapter required to transmit the data from the car to the phone. The adapter has to be configured for the app to communicate with it. This is an apple approved app. But everything I've read says that apple will not allow iPhone owners to make any adjustments to their Bluetooth addresses. And that iPhone only provides Bluetooth connectivity to basic head sets speakers and audio formats through the car stereos ( but no audio streaming). 
    Bottom line, apple approved app and hardware that can't be configured unless I perform a jailbreak? I don't want to JB the phone but it seems that apple has left me with no other options. I've already invested time and money on this software and hardware. Their must be a legitimate way to use this apple approved software. Does anyone know how to adjust/configure bluetooth settings/addresses?

    Generally, if you have to enter a code for bluetooth, your iPhone will ask you to enter a 4 digit code when pairing.  Check the instructions for the device you are trying to pair with your iPhone.  The instructions should give you the code in the pairing instructions, if a code is required.
