The setting "use touch ID for iTunes & App Store" isn't turning on..help?

please help i'm new to ios7 and im very confused

Have you first gone to Settings > iTunes and App Store to ensure that you are signed into iTunes with your Apple ID? The following quote is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
If you haven't already, ensure that iTunes & App Store is enabled in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID. If you can't enable this setting, ensure that your Apple ID is signed in under Settings > iTunes & App Store.

I want to turn on touch ID for iTunes & App Store

When I try, the feature is grayed out. I looked at my settings for iTunes & App store and my Apple ID is entered and when I click it i have the option to 'sign out' so I believe I am signed in. Any ideas on how to enable this feature?

I have went in and enabled restrictions - it didn't work. I then enabled restrictions and disabled iTunes Store, Installing Apps, Deleteing Apps, and In-App Purchases and I am still not having luck with getting the option to tun this on. The 'requrie passwork' is also set to 15 minutes. See pictures as maybe I am in the wrong place.

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!

HT5552 Using PayPal for iTunes/App Store

I try to select PayPal as my payment option for iTunes/App Store, but when I select the PayPal icon and click the "continue" button, as directed, nothing happens. Why can I not select PayPal? All of my payment information is stored in PayPal, and I would like to keep it that way.

Thanks for the pointer Lesnes.
Unfortunately I am unable to create an itunes account as part of the process for doing so asks for my bank or cc details which I am not happy to provide.
I received an email from Apple support last night with the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
The link does not take into account that I already have an apple ID so instead of being able to follow all the steps I get asked to log in and review and this goes to a page requesting billing info with no 'None' or Paypal options.

HT201371 Can I use touch id for iTunes Store purchases without having a phone passcode turned on?

I really don't want a passcode but I love not having to enter my complex password on the small keyboard. Why does this option have to be linked to a passcode? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

From the article:
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
So yes, that's how it's designed. You must have a passcode, though as long as you understand the caveats:
In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:
After restarting your iPhone 5s
When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting
and
You can't use Touch ID for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately.
you should be able to use Touch ID without needing your passcode. If none of those circumstances is true and you're still being asked for your passcode to make a purchase from the iTunes Store, it would seem that something is amiss with your iPhone.
Regards,

Touch ID for only App Store purchases??

I just got the iPhone 6 and I enjoy the Touch ID option. I enjoy using it and would like to continue doing so but I don't like having a lock on my phone. I only want to use the Touch ID as a substitute for a typed out password for Apple Pay and App/iTunes store. I can do this but it always sets up a lock on my phone as well. Is it possible for me to only use the Touch ID for the App Store and not have it to unlock the phone? I don't want any locks

No, TouchID can't be enabled for just the App Store. Personally, I find TouchID to be faster and easier than swiping to unlock the screen. Also, I know that if my phone is lost or stolen, there is much less likelihood that my personal data will be accessed by anyone else.

How to switch country for iTunes/App store on iPad?

I have an iPad 3 and took it on vacation in Europe and the UK. Now that I'm back, if I try to update my apps on the iPad it indicates:
"Account Not in This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the UK store. You must switch to the US store before purchasing."
All well and good, except:
1. I never intentionally switched to the UK store and don't know how that occurred
2. There is no explanation on how to switch to the US store
3. Every menu I've looked at has no options to change the store that I use
Does anyone know how to fix this on my iPad? My iTunes account is fine on all of my other Apple devices, so it's just the iPad that is the problem.
Thanks.

Go to the App Store and tap on the featured tab. Swipe to the bottom and tap on your Apple ID. Next tap View Apple ID. Then enter your password. Go to Country/region in the popup window and change to the U.S. store in there.

Problem signing up for iTunes app store account without a credit card (cred

I'm trying to test my friend's (free) iTunes app, and followed Apple's own instructions to get an app store account without a credit card:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
Unfortunately, every time I try to enter my info in iTues and submit, the response is "Your credit card was declined". This is VERY frustrating as I'm choosing 'none' and trying to sign up WITHOUT a credit card, there is no credit card to be declined?! Help?

You can only choose None for credit card if you switch to USA AppStore.
Just while registartion choose USA.
You should google more

Thanks for the help.
I just spoke with an apple rep and they walked me through a ton of stuff.
Ended up restarting a couple times they had me move the file "com.apple.appstore.plist" from Library/Preferences to my desktop and restart.
Then, logging in worked.
Thanks again!

Apple deducted Rs.60 for changing Country location for iTunes & App Store Accounts

Dear Apple product representative,
I would really appreciate if you could stop being thief and stop deduction money from my account.
Just tried to Change location on my app store, which was showing NewZeland instead of India and I was not been able to update in apps due to this.
As per instrustions:
Instructions
1
Tap "Settings" from the main menu of your iOS device.
2
Tap "Store."
3
Tap "View Apple ID."
4
Enter your user name and password.
5
Tap the space underneath "Change Country or Region."
6
Select the region where you will be located.
7
Tap "Done."
To my show there was a Rs60 Deduction.
Request you to kindly revert this transaction else I need to knock the doors of consumer court. This is rediculeous. I need my money back.

Hi Sockatume,
Few days back I wanted to download BBM for iPhone to which I was diverted to New Zealand App Store automatically.
So whenever I tried to download apps from the AppStore it said, I wasn't in the region which I should be that is India and being in different region I can't download any app.
So I followed the instructions as above. After updating the region and the proceeding pages of the instruction. There was a deduction of money.
I didn't buy any gift card or anything neither I went to that page.

ITunes App Store Gift Card, I need help, really.

Okay, so I got two iTunes giftcards for Christmas, yes a while ago. But now, I needed the iTunes cash, so I redeemed them. Well, the first one, was $10, I got my money fine. Now, this one is $15. Now, here's the problem, I need help. I have two major things to say, first off, I peeled the stupid label off (I think peel it stupid, it should be scratch) and some parts of the letters got peeled off, but that's not the huge issue. The issue is I think some whole number/letters got peeled off, because the code is like thing NNNNN NNNNNNN NNN. Okay, I'm not saying the code, for obvious reason, but "N" just means number or letter. So basically there are 5 characters, space, 7 characters, space, then 3. I think this is odd, because my other code was on whole code, not spaces. Also, the spaces have room for other characters. Some letters are also messed up a bit, like an "M" is losing a bit of the leg to the right. Then a S, is missing basically a whole half. Now, can someone tell me if the code for App Store is supposed to be 5, 7, 3. If not, can I get a refund, or a new card from Apple?

"iTunes & App Store" fingerprint option disabled in Settings

Using iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.1 and after going into Settings -> Passcode & Fingerprint -> Fingerprints, the option "iTunes & App Store" is disabled and grayed out, not allowing me to turn it on. Passcode Unlock is enabled and working fine.
Anyone else running into this? Know how to get it enabled so I can use Touch ID for my app downloads?

I was having the same problem. I power cycled the phone and it was still happening, then left the phone alone for about an hour to go run some errands. Now it's working. Weird, huh?

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

Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S. We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud. This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app. I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app. It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

The setting "use touch ID for iTunes & App Store" isn't turning on..help?
