Unable to purchase contents in ibooks. IOS 8.02

Trying to purchase MLP cartoon series but there seems to be an error

Family Sharing is an iOS8 feature. As you are using iOS 7 on your 4S, that is perhaps why you cannot download a "shared" app.

Unable to purchase content from US iTunes store

Has anyone else had difficulty purchasing content ie tv shows from the US iTunes store with your log in information? itunes allows me to browse the US site and choose items to buy but when I log in to purchase them I am told that because I am Canadian I have to buy the items from the Canadian itunes store, which although the tv programs are broadcast here on Canadian networks Itunes doesn't allow me to purchase the same tv programs. WIll there be a Canadian version of the TV programs section of ITunes coming soon?

This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Music Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Music Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the rights holders, not by Apple's choice. When, or indeed if, the owners of the TV shows will allow Apple to sell them in your country, no one here can say. We'll all just have to wait and see.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Why can I download samples, but am unable to purchase books from ibooks on my ipad?

I recently encountered problems downloading and shopping for books at ibooks. I am able to download samples of books, but when I attempt to purchase them, I am unable to. I've rechecked my apple account information, and the credit card I'm using is up to date and listed. More recently, when I visit the ibooks store, no book titles are visible. Any suggestions?

Hey Aggiesmommy 91,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues downloading purchased iBooks. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this so you can enjoy those purchases.
First, try forcing the iBooks application to close:

If the issue persists, try restarting your iPad:

I can't search through my Purchased content in the iOS 6 App Store.

In iOS 5 I could go to the Purchased area and push down for a search bar to show up. But in iOS 6 there is nothing there.
I clean out room on my iPhone with the knowledge that if I really need this app later that I can just reinstall it. Now that is going to be a hassle scrolling through all my bought app's. Sometimes I can't remember the name of something I had once had and if I could sort them into categories that would be helpful as well. But the main point is that I can't search, also when I do find something there and I press it it just shows like the version information. It use to take me to the app page so I can make sure that was what I was looking for. I have a lot of photo app's and I can not be expected to know what everyone of those do.
I hate posting on forums because I like to find the information myself. But I cannot find this answer. How do I search my Purchased app in iOS 6?

Yup, the new itunes is worthless unless every song you have is in your itunes library as well. (unless you buy every song from itunes this is simply impossible) Apparently Apple threw away the feature in an effort to force everyone to purchase their media through itunes. This is probably the worst idea about the new Itunes, the only way to go back is to restore your computer to a time before you downloaded the new version, otherwise wait and hope the next version in a year or so will have it.

Unable to Purchase Content with my giftcard

I recently tried buying one of the new iPod games from the store with some of the money I had previously put on the account with money from a gift card. As usual it asked for my password and then confirmation if I wanted to buy the game. To my surprise after this it asked me to re-enter my password to look at my billing info, which it had never asked for before. ßince I didn't want to enter credit card information I had the bubble for type of payment as "none". When I finished this, the store did not download the game. I have tried multiple times without success.

where did you find out you can't use them dkorn and if not why are they selling them? i have used a 50$ mastercard gift card for my previous purchases and have always had a 20$ store credit everything i have bought has gone to the credit card and none to the store credit and it's saying i can't buy anything until i resolve some billing problem due to credit card decline

My apple id unable to purchases music or apps from itunes store

It happened many times with my Apple id. Firstly, I was unable to purchases contents from itunes store. The notif "contact itunes support" always appear everytime I tried to purchased. Everytime I met the issue, I always contacted itunes support, but rarely itunes support teams replied my email. This time, it happened again, and even more. Right now I couldn't purchases anything from itunes store even music. It said that I have to verify my billing info. I've tiped everything needed in that billing info also my credit card, but the notif always "security code is invalid". How come it is invalid, when I handed the card my self when I tiped the number on my apple id. I've repeated it over and over again, but the same notif always came.
Anyone could explain to me, what's happen to my apple id axactly and how to solve this issue.
Thanks.

if both itunes on the computer and on the phone dont show any then apple must not be offering that service in your country

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

Unable to open purchased books in ibook

I can only open ibooks on my ipad that are listed on my bookshelf . However, if I select the library's Purchased Catagory and try to open one of the many books that I have purchased, they will not open. I only get a description of the book. All of the books in my purchased section show to have been downloaded and many of them were recently updated. But, like I said, none of them will open when clicked on. If they have to be listed on my bookshelf, how do I move them there? I have had access to many of them before since my last IOS update, but am unable access them now.
iPad 4
IOS version 8.1.3
P.S. I don't use and never have used iCloud (and don't plan to.)
I don't know if that's part of the problem.
I hope not.

The Purchased tab is part of the store, tapping on them there will only show your their description page from the store. If a book is not currently only on your bookshelf then it should have a cloud icon against it in the Purchased tab, tapping on that should download it to the bookshelf so that you can open and read them.
Not using iCloud won't stop them showing in the Purchased tab for redownloading and/or viewing their descriptions. Your purchases are automatically kept in the cloud for you to be able to redownload them (though you should also be taking your own backup copy of them), that can't be changed - they will stop showing for redownloading if you move countries, or if the rights-holder removes them from your country's store, or depending upon the type of item and your country (e.g. audiobooks and tones are one-time only downloads so won't show for redownloading ; films, music, TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries).

Can't download purchased content. "Unable to check for available downloads"

I can no longer download purchased content. Each time I check for available downloads I get an error message that says "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
The screen says I have 17 itunes downloads available but cannot download them. The most recent purchase I am not able to download is Season 3 of Dexter in standard def and some other season passes. This is really annoying; I already paid for the content and am not able to watch it...

After sending two e-mails and recording a screen-cast video solved the problem.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (on these forum we won't know why the message is appearing) : 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
If it's a different problem ... ?

HT4059 We are unable to download a book for purchase from the iBook store because it says you are not authorized to use the iBooks United States site and must use the Canadian site. How do we do this?

We have always been able to purchase books from iBooks no problem but all of a sudden it says you cannot purchase this book as you aren't authorized to use the US store and must connect to the Canadian store. We cannot figure out how to do this. Help!

Sign out and back into the device so you switch back to the Can account.

I am unable to purchase my iphoto book I composed, as it says i don't have pictures on every frame, but there are according to layout specifications??

Look for a page with a layout like this or the red warning triangle (for iPhoto 9):
It's easy to miss. Look for the red warning triangle in the corner of the page in the View All Pages view.

IOS App store Error - Unable to Purchase

Every time I try to buy an app I get this error:
Unable to Purchase
"[App Name]" Could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later.
I am pretty much certain that it has something to do with the fact that this is a phone which was restored from backup as the phone had to be replaced as the former had a faulty battery.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Best regards
Felix

Hi ckuan
Have you tried signing out and sign back in again in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > sign out ?
Have you also tried
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings ?
I tried these both but I'm afraid these didn't fix anything.
Thx

IPad saying that it is unable to purchase in apps purchases

My Ipad was working fine, i was able to make in app purchases etc. My grandson was visiting and wanted to play minecraft, so put his apple ID in so he could download hos content to my ipad, played his game for the visit, then deleted all details of his itunes acount when he left. He at no point downloaded anythng esle but minecraft.
Now however, when i try and make in app purchases on my account with apps downloaded with my own ID I get the following
"Unable to Purchase. This item is for an app that was purchased by a different apple ID. To buy this item with this apple ID you must first purchase the app".
I have purchesed the app. I really dont fancy starting agian. As I said ipad was fine until we did this minecraft thing.
Any suggestions??

The message would indicate the the app was not purchased with that account.
You can try:
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to itunes and App Store and sign in
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
