Itunes app store purchases

I will like to know why if the iphone 4 is a world wide selling device the itunes store content for my country is so limitted and when I want to purchase an application that I like from the US itunes app store I cant because my card was not issued in the USA and therefore I have no builing address and also I cant create a paypal account over the itunes store because I get an error saying that since I am not in the US the paypal account cannot be created for purchage in the US itunes apps store. *** is my money not valuable or Steve Jobs and Apple has so much money that my little international bank account is not needed.

If your credit or debit card bank account is associated with a company based in the U.S. then your purchases will not show up in the Pakistan store.
The iTunes and Mac App Store are actually one in the same. One of iOS devices the other for Mac OS X.

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.

Can I transfer iTunes/App store purchases from 1 Apple ID to another? I have recently parted from my partner, everything was purchased under his but I now want to move it all to mine. Is this possible?

Please help.

On the premise that an application is irrevocably tied to an Apple ID it was purchased from, I want to pose another scenario similar to the original question of this post.
A small business purchased a Mac for a specific purpose. Given that no one in the business is savvy enough for Mac systems, they hire a consulting IT. IT then sets up the Mac and all the apps that came with it (and here's where the problem starts) under his Apple ID. Now that the IT consultant no longer services the business, he takes with him the rights for two apps, specifically iPhoto and iMovies, at the business' expense. He also needs to remove the Mac that's tied to his Apple ID but that's only secondary issue as admin rights on the device was retained. Two generations of OS X's later, with the current update Yosemite, those two programs are now inoperable. One might suggest to call back the IT and update the programs himself but that's beside the point. Terms and conditions were set to protect these apps from unlawful sharing, but in this case, an application was purchased by a user not using his own finances.
It's no longer a question on whether we could move an application from one Apple ID to another but I wish Apple can find a way to protect their consumers from unethical practices such as this.
Thank you.

ITunes App store down? Maybe something significant happening at Apple?

iTunes app store (purchase or updates) has been down (via iPhone access or computer WiFi) since last night (12+) hours.
I am in Southern California, so it is the U.S. version I am referring to.
I can't help but wonder, indeed hope, they are preparing something big like maybe a software update to fix some of the issues with the 3G (like maybe, a working 3G network phone, OS that permits apps vetted by Apple to crash our phone, etc.).
It is the first time I have seen iTunes app store down for more than a few moments.

I wasn't able to view the Free Apps on I-Tunes but I was able to view all Apps.
I have stop downloading or updating Apps because I believe all the problems everyone including myself are having with the I-Phone all has to do with the Apps because I have never had any problems with my phone or I-Tunes until I started to get Apps. I have the G2 I-Phone and since putting Apps on my phone I have reception problems, Phone crashing, Speaker problems, phone Freezing up, alot of drop calls, ETC. I could go on and on but since I have removed almost all of my Apps bringing the phone back to its normal state a lot of the problems I was haing are disappearing and even the I-tunes back up that would take up to an hour to complete is back to almost normal of about 3 - 5 minutes
I hope Apple discovered the culprit to all the phone problems are coming from the apps and the program they had us installed to use these apps

HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

ITunes/App Store won't let me complete my purchase,

says there is billing problem with previous order and to please update payment plan

Have you logged into your account and checked/updated your payment details ? If there was a problem with your last purchase and iTunes wasn't able to collect its payment, then you won't be able to buy/download anything else from the store until you have a valid payment details on your account and what you owe has been paid off.
You should be ableto check/update your payment details on your account via your computer's iTunes : go into the Store > View Account menu option and log into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

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

HT201272 why is itunes app store still showing prices for previous purchases?

I have not had this problem until recently. prior to today, I could go into iTunes App Store and a show or movie I already own is available for download but now it shows the cost. I dare click on it for fear of being double billed. This is frustrating because iTunes just started allowing us to access our purchased content without connecting to the computer and downloading them as often as we wanted. Is this problem affecting others or just me?

I started having the same problem yesterday.
In fact, I just now downloaded a free app. With the app now on my PC, it still shows that it is "free" rather than "downloaded" on the iTunes app page. I moved the .jpa file out of the default folder, and refreshed the app page in iTunes. Similarly, it does not show a "download" option like it should. It makes re-downloading apps that I have paid for in the past difficult if there is not the "download" bar to indicate that I am entitled to the app.
It's probably related, but at one point last night I had a bunch of apps with available updates. I tried to go to the iTunes page on my PC to view the apps with updates. At that point I got a pop-up window stating that I did not have any updates available, and it has been zero ever since. I did not download the updates, nor did all of the apps disappear from the iTunes catalog.
I have an iPad 2 and recently got an iPod Touch. I want to re-download some non HD apps for the Touch that I ditched for HD versions on the iPad. I, too, do not want to be re-billed.

How can I correct the iTunes/App Store error I'm getting on my 4s, since upgrading to IOS 7?

Since upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s I cannot download from iTunes/App Store - I get the message "... could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later". I can download via iTunes on my laptop and then transfer via iCloud no problem, but can't make purchases directly.
How can I resolve this issue?

Does everyone need to use the same Apple ID/password for iTunes & App Store in iOS 8 Family share?

I just set up Family share on my 5S and my wife's 5, both running iOS 8. I am the organizer.
In order for my wife's purchases to be charged to my CC (per Family Share setup), does she need to be signed in under my Apple ID and password under Settings -> iTunes & App Store? Or, can she use her Apple ID (that she used with her previous App Store purchases)? Additionally, if she makes purchases in iTunes or the App Store under my Apple ID, does she need to enter my password?
If she's logged into "iTunes & App Store" on her phone, using her Apple ID, will it work?

Well thanx to your answer I sure did just sign out of my old id, & now it's working! Thanx a lot IIIaass, you saved me from having to deal with anymore frustration! Thanx IIIaass!

How do I transfer an App store purchase from my MacBook to my iPad-WITHOUT an Internet connection?

I live on a boat in an anchorage. My iPad won't connect to the wifi in the anchorage; my MacBook Pro, with an external radio, will make the connection (sometimes). I want to purchase a couple of apps from the App Store and download them to my computer. I won't be able to connect the iPad to the Internet--ever--but I can of course connect it via USB to the MacBook Pro. Can I
- purchase the apps from the App store
- download the apps to my MacBook Pro
- disconnect the MacBook from the Internet (it costs about $1 per minute for my connection)
- sync the iPad to the MacBook
- transfer the newly purchased apps from the computer to the iPad
Just a reminder--I _can't_ connect the iPad, ever, to the Internet. The signal just won't reach that far. I don't want to take either the computer or the iPad on a (wet) dinghy ride to try to get close enough to the wifi hotspot for the iPad to connect (maybe). Both the iPad and the MacBook Pro are registered to the same ITunes account, but there isn't any way to connect the iPad to iTunes central for their servers to confirm this--only the MacBook Pro can be connected.
I also don't want to erase any info on the iPad--I have waypoints, navigation info, documents, etc., stored in various apps. Do I have to sync first to avoid losing this data? (Hope it's not cloudy tomorrow and those solar panels will be pulling some amps!)
Thanks,
Sue
PS--I have OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1 on the MacBook; iOS 6.0.1 on the iPad.

Yes, you should be able to buy/download apps from the iTunes app store on your Mac and then sync them to the iPad - neither the iPad nor the Mac should need to be connected to the internet to sync the apps over to the iPad
If the iPad hasn't been synced to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Smart family iCloud/apple id/iTunes/Apps Store setup?

Currently, we have the following setup:
Apple ID 1: (gen.appleid), used for:
Mac App Store for all compurers (desktops & laptops)
iOS App Store purchasing on Mom & Dad accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices
Apple Developer / Apple Seed
iTunes purchases on central OS X Server Computer including Match. This central server runsalways and can be accesses on all iOS devices for Remote, and from AppleTV. Mom and Dad thus have a full copy of their Music library on each account on each desktop
iTunes purchases on Mom & Dad OS X accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices.
Used as general Apple ID by Dad (e.g. find my iPhone etc)
Used for Home Sharing
Apple ID 2: (mom.appleid), used for:
Nothing specific yet
Apple ID 3: (dad.appleid), used for:
Nothing specific yet, an not even sure it exists already
Apple ID 3: (child1.appleid), used for:
iOS App Store purchases of child 1, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 1
Apple ID 4: (child4.appleid), used for:
iOS App Store purchases of child 2, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 2 (each child has his/her separate iTunes Library with apps & music and own iOS Device(s)
All iOS devices are synced with their owner's OSX account.
User accounts are accounts with Portable Home Directories so everybody can log in on any deskotp/laptop at home and away and get his/her own home directory there. Very nice, even if PHD syncing is not extremely robust.
This is a bit of a mess.
Mom & Dads photo's are separated, but they should be shared. There are two cameras, one used by Mom, and one by Dad and the photo's are in each account and sharing is a pain (and duplicates a lot)
Mom & Dad keep separate full copies of the large iTunes database. These are synched/matched via the gen.appleid account, but it takes up a lot of space.The large iTunes Library has one copy on the central server and two on each desktop.
All the other iCloud things are not used (e.g. calendar syncing etc.)
What is a good setup and how can I get their from this setup?

I assume you are all using one ID at the moment ([email protected]) for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and iTunes.
If your husband created his own ID ([email protected]) and your daughter her own ([email protected]), then you could do the following.
iCloud. Each of you use your own address, this keeps your contacts, calendars, photos, documents etc seperate, it also gives you all your own 5GB of cloud space for this data and back ups of your devices.
iMessage. If you want to see your daughters messages, then I'd suggest you and your daughter logs in with [email protected] and your husband with [email protected]
FaceTime. You can't really monitor FaceTime by sharing an ID, so I'd suggest you all log in to FaceTime with your own ID's.
iTunes & App Stores. I'd suggest you all use [email protected], that way you all have use of the existing purchases of apps, music, books etc.
In order to share your calendars, there are two ways.
1. You (or/and vice versa) could use the share feature in the calendar app (Tap calendars at the bottom of the calendar screen, then tap the i next to the calendar you want to share and add your husband to the shared section on the next page).
2. You (or/and vice versa) can add [email protected] to your device as a secondary iCloud account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars), this allows you to share mail, calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, which you can enable individually as you wish.

I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.
