Unable to complete gifted iPad app purchases

Whether I'm trying to gift and iPad app from my iPad or from iTunes for Mac, the purchase hangs and seemingly never completes.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I'm assuming the iTunes Stores servers are getting slammed today because of all the Xmas purchase.  Calling Apple support is also no good at this time.

I had similar problem. But after 2 minutes it worked. I stayed on the same screen. However, the receipent seems to be having trouble reedimig it on the iPad.

  • HT3702 Yes you placed a hold but then when I went to complete an in app purchase it says I can't. I have no restrictions on this **** thing and never had this problem.. Why won't your iTunes communicate with my games so I can purchase stuff.

    If you are getting an error message then what is the full text of it ?
    The temporary store holding charge is standard, it should disappear within a few days or so.

  • View iPad app purchases

    How do I view a list of all my iPad app purchases INCLUDING prices? I believe I've had money taken from my bank twice for the same app. I'm really frustrated trying to find an answer to this. It seems I can only view the purchased apps without any indication of costs incurred.

    Sign into your Apple account in iTune (computer) and have a look at your Purchase History.

    I can not completed my in-app purchasing, but I can buy a new app with my account.
    Every time I want to make an in-app purchasing, it turns out:
    "Your purchase could not be completed. For assistance, contact iTunes Support at
    www.apple.com/support/iTunes/ww.
    How can I fix this?

    That's a tricky one... this is a pure guess, but I suppose as a long shot you could try contacting Tunes Support at http://www.apple.com/support/iTunes/ww

  • Need an itemized receipt of past iPad app purchases

    How can I get a FULL itemized receipt of past iPad app purchases?  I want to be able to see the total cost for EACH app I purchased in the last few months? Then maybe also have it emailed to me. I want to be able to get it somehow on my iPad too (since I don't have a PC to install iTunes).

    SUCCESS...I contacted Apple and got about $125 worth of iPad app charges refunded  (under the recent settlement...."Apple to refund millions for kids' in-app purchases" ). These were made from April-May 2013 for me.
    Just some advice out there for others to avoid their kids purchasing unauthorized apps (either accidently or on purpose) and ringing up your bill....get a prepaid credit card (Amex are the best) and attach it to your Apple account. If money isn't there, charges can't "accidently" be made by kids in ANY way. Ever since I did this back in June, all has been good.

  • Tried out some apps, then deleted them. They still show in App Store/iPad Apps/Purchased section. How to delete from there?

    Tried out some apps, then deleted them. They still show in App Store/iPad Apps/Purchased section. How to delete from there?

    You can't currently permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear on the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. As your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do the hiding via your computer's iTunes, it doesn't currently work directly on iOS 6 devices

  • I cannot complete an in app purchase on my iPad.

    Every time I attempt an in app purchase, it tells me to contact iTunes support to complete the transaction. I can purchase new apps normally without issue, and I have all restrictions lifted on in app purchases. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've sent iTunes support an email but am still waiting for a response

    This seems to be an ongoing issue with no resolution or information from apple. Several game sites have posted that they are experiencing problems with many users.
    I have raised a few support requests, received my email to say they will get back to me in 24 hours, but the cases are always closed with no response.
    When I look up the case number it's always closed, and nobody ever gets back to me.
    I have never had a moments trouble with the google app store, but have been battling with apple for a while. I am not really sure where to turn to solve this. I have a decent balance in the account in vouchers so it should be easy to complete the transactions.

  • Cannot complete an in-app purchase

    This is my first IPad. I downloaded the Wildlife Photographic app from the Itunes Newsstand. I was able to make an in-app purchase of a two-month subscription with no problems. Later in the day ( and also this morning) I tried to purchase another issue of the magazine offered in the app. The purchase could not be completed and the message said to contact itunes support. This has happened 3 times now. Is there a solution to this type of problem? Thanks to all.

    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Backing up iPad apps purchased with two accounts?

    For a recent sync, I "transferred purchases" from my iPad to iTunes and subsequently synced it to my iMac with my personal AppleID. Before syncing, my iPad had apps purchased with two separate AppleIDs on it.
    Upon doing a restore for the iOS5 upgrade, the apps purchase on the other AppleID account don't show up on my iPad.
    Where are the apps now and how can I get them, and their data, back?!? I know I can log into the other AppleID on my iPad and redownload the lost apps from the App Store. However, I need the DATA from the apps (note taking apps and such). How do I get that data back?
    If this isn't an option, this is a major fault of Apple's account design.
    Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions~ 

    Hello J_DougBC,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  I found an article that addresses Apple IDs that are different than the Primary Email Address on the account.  You will need to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ to "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same."
    If your Apple ID and primary email address do not match, or they match but the email address is unverified, you can edit them.
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. If you want to add and verify an email address that matches your Apple ID, follow the dialog box that says "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same." This will automatically unverify that email address from any other Apple ID for which it was previously verified.
    3. If you want to change your email address to one that does not match your Apple ID, click Edit next to your Primary Email Address. If this email address is already associated with another Apple ID, you will need to sign in with that Apple ID and delete it before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
    Note: If you have an @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID and primary email address, you cannot edit your primary email address once it has been verified. To change your @me.com or @mac.com primary email address to another email address, contact Apple Support for assistance.
    You can find the full article here:

    I hope this helps get you back on track!

  • Unable to make an in-app purchase. Error message saying unable to connect to itunes store. phone is NOT jailbroken

    I attempted to make an in-app purchase on the Original Gangstaz app and a message came up saying to contact itune support to complete the transaction. Another window comes up after saying that no connection could be made to the itunes store . I have made numerous in-app purchases, so why has this now happened?
    Please note my phone is NOT jailbroken. Any ideas?

    Check the settings - perhaps you have enabled restrictions (see: iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)).
