Old MobileMe ID requested for app purchased after iCloud

Hello,
I have recently purchased an app (Magic Town) for the iPad. Initially, it asked for an old account id, then I seemed to bypass the problem for a while.
The app is supposed to automatically download stories and make others available for purchase. Suddenly, the stories I had purchased are not available in the app and they are marked with the message "NO APPLE ID" in red letters. This app was purchased, a few weeks ago, well after my MobileMe accounts were shut down. However, the iPad was purchased before MobileMe was shutdown.
I don't know if the two problems are related, but it seems they might be.
I will contact the app developers too, but I want to ask here:
How do I make sure that old MobileMe IDs are no longer associated with my account?
Thanks,
J. Spencer

Sounds like you have two apple id's and one of those is not actual email. Ideally what you need to do is:
1. Create mail account
2. Change apple id for [email protected] for newly created email, so you can use that id and verify it.
Instruction for that change here.
Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
in order to make that change you will need to get a hold of your password for the old account.
Once all said and done you will have apps from two accounts and when you need to update those you just have to provide corresponding password.

Having trouble with in app purchases after ios7 upgrade?

I'm having trouble with in app purchases after ios7 upgrade

I'm having the exact same problem. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what is causing it, but I can tell you what it isn't(at least in my case). I made an in app purchase yesterday using a MasterCard I had linked to my account with no problems. This morning, my card from my new bank came in so I switched it over(American Express), and all of a sudden can't make IAP. I thought maybe there was an issue with the card, so I tried it out on a .99 app, and it worked no problem. So I got with tech support and they had me reset all of my phone settings -_-, then my network settings. No change. I tried restarting the phone obviously, closing the App and trying again, no luck. They suggested I call my bank and make sure the address I had on file for the card matched what I supplied for my Apple account, and that didn't fix it either. I tried IAP on two different apps and it was the same, could not connect to App Store error. I'm still trying to figure it out, and I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but I hope I at least save you some trouble of trying these things. If I find anything out I'll let you know.

HT204053 for ipad2 Using the same Apple ID for Store purchases and iCloud (recommended) yes/

hi i am shahram i have ipad2 for ipad 2 using the same apple iD for store purchases and iCloud(recommended) yes or no?

That's what Apple recommend, it's also how I have mine set up. Although it isn't much of a problem to use a different account (ID) for each service.

IPad did not require password for in app purchase after two days

I just made an in-app purchase on my iPad and was not prompted to enter my account password. I checked my settings and it was set to require a password after 15 minutes. The last time I entered my password to make a (free) purchase was two days ago! I've now disabled in app purchases as a precaution.
Is this a bug in iOS 8? It asked for a password every 15 minutes in iOS 7.

Even after disabling in app purchases (General > Restrictions) and setting the password requirement to 'immediately', I tried another in app purchase (for a smaller amount) and again it went straight through without asking for a password.

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.

Apple ID for app purchases

My iPad used to ask for an ID before purchasing apps or in app purchases. Now after I buy one thing other apps can be added without my ID. Young kids play on this iPad and I have to make it Impossible for them to make purchases. I don't know how to change it. Your help would be appreciated.

You should have a Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password setting, change that to 'Immediately' - the default is 15 minutes during which it doesn't need to be re-entered.

Refund for app purchase

How do you request a refund of a non working app?

To be more clear, the app is a fake, it does not do what it was advertised to do. Also it was per loaded with hundreds of fake reviews earlier today to hide the reviews that stated it did not work. I was unable to see them on my phone,as it just showed the current reviews. After I saw it was not looking I looked in the iTunes app store, and discovered all of the bad reviews, and now more reviewers like myself stating it does not work.
I have submitted a request for refund, I finally found a link for that.

There are 2 apps that unable to restore in-app purchasing after restore iPhone, TopikMiddle and TOPIK Card. What is happening with it?

I paid $0.99 for each apps TopikMiddle and TOPIK Card.
I can not restore these in-app purchase
What should I do?
Or I lost my money for nothing?
What will Apple do in this situation?
Please help!!!

Several erroneous things in your post.
1. You don't have to restore the iOS to restore the last backup. After disabling automatic syncing on connection to iTunes (iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....), connect phone and right-click the device tab and select "Restore from backup." This restores the last backup without deleting anything on the phone.
2. If you had to restore the iOS, you could transfer your apps and other purchases to the iTunes library first - same procedure as above but select "Transfer Purchases."
3. If you did lose apps, you can re-download them without paying again, unlike music or media.

Multiple requests for keychain password after booting up

Every time I boot up I get several requests for my keychain password.
I think the requests come from each of the applications that I have selected for auto-launch in the Accounts control panel.
Is this because these apps are launching before the system unlocks the keychain?
I never get keychain password requests at any other time. It seems like there is a sequence or timing issue.

Paid for apps lost after 2.0.2 update!

I updated to 2.0.2 last night and found that all my paid-for apps have now disappeared from my phone as well as from iTunes!
How can I get them back? I had at least 12-15 and don't want to pay for them twice!

Here's the official how-to:
*How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Alternatively,
Call AppleCare iPhone...wait time can be 10-20 minutes so be sure you have time. Usually less than 10 minutes during the morning though.
Once you get to them, tell them the issue or ask directly for "iTunes Music Store Billing Support". If it shows up in your Purchase History (in iTunes click Store > View My Account then find the Purchase History button) they can set it up for re-downloading. From there, they'll direct you to click "Check for Purchases". They should instantly start downloading again, free of charge. Works for music and movies if you can prove you bought them.
Or visit www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser and type away. They email back in about 2 days.
Hope this helps someone.

I am going to have to restore my iTunes to a prior date, how can I retrieve apps purchased after the chosen restore date?

I appear to have "lost" many of the songs, and videos, in my iTunes. The songs/videos show, but when I attempt to access them, it says it can't find the file and offers to search. In the search the song/video shows, but is greyed out. If I restore I tunes to a prior date, how do I retrieve apps that were purchased after the chosen restore date?
Thanks,
Dale

Icloud is made up of many services. you may choose to use or not use any or all of these services. One of the many services it provides is that it allows you to redownload past purchases.
"I prefer to keep all of my information on my Mac, and a local backup drive."
As you should. That is why, if you have lost your comtent, you should redownload that lost content from icloud to your computer and back it up, using the directions I provided to you.
"lso, I don't recall setting up a iCloud account. "
Does not matter at all. You do not need an icloud account. Forget you ever heard the word icloud. Perhaps if we stop using that word, you will understand. Itunes now allows you to download your past purchases again - instead of the one download only rule that has existed orior to now. You can download your purchases to your computer again.
You seem to be getting hung up on the word icloud, so imply forget you heard it.
Follow the direction in the link I provided to download the songs, etc that you have lost. Once downloaded, they will once again reside on your computer where you can back them up and sync them to device as you always have.
nothing at all changes.
Hope this helps.
