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.

  • 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.

  • Best way to get refund for ios app store purchases

    Hi, I purchased a $19 app from the app store and then discovered it had faults, and others have confirmed this. I have sent many emails to the developers but they have not replied and people on forums have said they no longer care.
    Well they don't seem to mind continuing to take people's money. If your app has faults and your not going to fix it then you should remove it from the app store. It is that simple!
    In my previous post I was told Appple would not refund my money due to their terms of use that each app store sale was final!
    Well first of all they have refunded money for others who have made much smaller purchases, and secondly I strongly believe that Apple should refund money for apps which are faultly and no longer being maintained. Otherwise they should remove it if the developers aren't going to!
    I have reported a fault with this app using iTunes, but I still have not heard anything from Apple.
    I've heard from other people that the best way to get a refund is to keep fighting and contacting Apple, otherwise Apple will just ignore you :-(

    I'd guess that in the scheme of Verizon, a small percentage of us have this piece of crap phone.  What I don't understand is why this company does not want it's customers to be happy and satisfied.  Ya think I'm going to refer people to Verizon anymore?  I USED to...
    i got a CLNR fascinate this week.its updated to ED05 but still not the 2.3 firmware.i am currently sitting in my bedroom.second floor of the house and only have 2 bars as far as signal goes.i've only had the replacement for 2 days so i'm not sure if i am missing calls or not.but it still eats thru the battery nice and quick.also since i went to the store I WILL NEVER  go back to the store i usually do again.the girl there
    A. talked down to me when i got upset about her not doing much to help.
    B. laughed at me when i questioned her on why my phone wasnt working right and why i kept getting a run around.
    C. after laughing at me walked away from me.
    if this phone i received isnt working right  i will get a swap for my phone seeing how verizon doesnt even offer the fascinate anymore.if i dont get a swap i plan on moving on to some other provider eventhough i've had verizon for over 10 years now.

  • How do I get an invoice for an App Store purchase?

    I bought Lion when it first came out, and now need an invoice, but I can't find an email, and can't figure out how to get the App store to produce one  - it has a record that I purchased it but no price. Help? Thanks!

    Perhaps go into your Apple ID and make sure that the main email address registered is still a valid account.

  • 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.

  • HARDWARE identification for previous app store purchases?

    Hello,
    Very frustrated with this problem. I had a hardware test done to rule out the logic board (nividia geforce GT330) - sofware instability from the beginning to each new OSX. Now the app store is not working - require a HARDWARE identification for imovie/iphoto/garage band apps? SURE hope this is a temporary problem? The Hyper X SSD I put in did not appear to pose any problems. The lawsuit that apple won against Nividia; Should be replacing my logic board regardless?? They lied at the apple store about a clear test?? Anyone else having this or similar issues with Macbook Pro, i7, 15", mid 2010 production?? Please share an opionion; it is a bad problem to have for such an expensive machine! Thanks!

    Read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit the App Store application if it’s running.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist - corrupt
    Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit again. Go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
    Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Again, some may not exist. Test. If the App Store now works, delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the files you moved, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place, and continue.
    Step 3
    Log out, log in, and try again.

  • HT3702 Where can I find refund policy for an App Store purchase?

    Where can I find how to get a refund for a purchase?
    My most recent purchase for an App was $50, and since there is disagreement as to why it doesn't work (TomTom GPS app or Apple iOS), I would like to get my money back.
    Yes. I've search the forums and tried the suggestions of giving the TT app solitary use of the Location Services, resetting my iTouch 4G and my New iPad Retina each, and still no GPS connection, whether I try using an AT&T MiFi or tethering to my wife's iPad mini with Verizon cellular showing LTE as a HotSpot.
    Or do I just intact my VISA card issuer to deny the purchase?
    Thank you in advance for replying!

  • Getting a non-email Receipt from Mac App Store purchase

    I bought something on the app store today and realized the email that Apple has for me is not valid anymore (hotmail from years ago that I don't use).  Any way to get my receipt for the app store purchase for a reimbursement without relying on email?

    Yes, app store is available - but not with systems updates on MacOS 10.7.4
    I tried on a MacBook with 10.7.2 and it was able to connect. After now updating, the connection to app store is impossible,
    And it's only one installation - the installation of MacOS 10.7.4 Combo Update and it killed
    For some, it seems to help to reset manually the certificate settings... for others, it seems to work with the ocspd preferences... next seems to solve it by doing both in combination and for others nothing helps.
    So I think, we need a fix - because I think, it's a problem in the latest OS update.

  • 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

  • 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!

    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.
