Unable to review apple id to purchase apps

I tried to purchase a free app after i had already made an apple id online. as with many others on here it told me my apple id had never been used in the itunes store and to review my information. I tried this first on my iphone. Signed in, agreed to the terms and conditions and entered my billing information. When i click continue on the billing information page it wont go anywhere a message just pops up telling me to contact apple support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/ . so after talking to my father he told me to try it on a pc instead. i did and went through the same process and got the same result. so this time i went to the web address it gave me and it takes you to a country selector but doesnt resolve the issue of getting past the billing page, complete a review and happily go about purchasing apps. Ive seen many other questions like this but have found nothing helpful. everytime i see an apple support employee post a link that will supposedly help the situation it goes to a dead end so im posting another of the several posts like this. Help would be much appreciated.
Ive also noticed anything i try to install on my iphone will prompt the "no itunes store usage" message, including facebook or twitter. it seems if i try to install anything apple insists on me reviewiing my information on the itunes store, whether or not it has anything to do with the itunes store.

So do as the message instructs and contact iTunes Support: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different one to purchase iTunes music

Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different Apple ID to purchase music off iTunes on the same computer?

Short answer, yes.
Long answer, it can make things more complicated, especially if you start adding iOS devices to the mix.

How can i access app store funds on ipad with different apple id to purchase app for iphone?

would like to have one, rather than two, apple id for both ipad and iphone. can't figure out how to delete id for iphone and assign same one as ipad.

Singin into iCloud setting with tha same ID to sync infos (contacts,calendar etc...) if you want. Do the same for Message, facetime and iTunes&App Stores (that is what you ask for) settings.

HT204053 Can I use any of two Apple IDs to purchase apps for the same iPad?

Hello,
I have two Apple IDs, one for the iTunes US store and the other for the UK store. Can I purchase apps from either store for the same iPad (4th. Gen.)?

Yes, although it's best to associat your iPad with one Apple ID otherwise you will need to constantly switch.
Change iTunes Store Country on an iDevice
1. Tap Settings;
2. Tap iTunes & App Stores;
3. Tap View Apple ID;
4. Enter your user name and password;
5. Tap Country/Region;
6. Tap Change Country/Region;
7. Select the region where you will be located;
8. Tap Done.

Changing apple id loses purchased app

I moved from one state to another. The Apple id I had on my iPad was associated with my old email. I changed the Apple id to my new email. When I tried to use a purchased app - Weber's On The Grill - it no longer would access the internet for updates. It kept giving me a pop up window with my old email in it. I deleted the app thinking I could reinstall it. When I went to the app store to get it again instead of saying Install it put up the price for the app. I can no longer sign on to my old id and I can't get it again without buying the app again. Anyone suggest a way for me to do this. Thanks.

So even though Apple suggested I change my Apple ID to my new email doing so lost all purchased apps. What if I create a new Apple ID using my old email address will I then be able to get my purchased apps back?
You cannot create a new AppleID with that old email address - for one thing, that email address is already assigned as an AppleID so cannot be used for a new one. Second, you would never be able to verify such a new AppleID as you would not receive the email to do so. Finally, simply because you started using a new AppleID has not made the old one disappear or become inactive.
You can always go and login to the manage section at https://appleid.apple.com/ and simply change the primary email address for that old AppleID to another email address you have that is still active and valid. If you change information through the web site above, the account associated with that AppleID also changes, so your purchases track with the changes. However, you cannot change the old AppleIDs primary email to your new one, as that email is already in use as an AppleID. You will need to get another email to use (a free gmail, MS live or hotmail, yahoo, AOL/AIM or whatever service you wish) if you want to change that old AppleID's primary email address to one that actually receives mail.

Unable to use iTunes credit to purchase apps

Am new to the iTouch and apps.
Have redeemed my Itunes card but cannot purchase apps with the credit.

The credit can only be used to purchase music and videos in Canada. Software purchases require a credit card.

Hi, I have an apple id for my iphone 5s, and my two daughter's 4s phones. The problem is that for a month or so now I have been unable to download their updates for purchased apps just on their phones. It works fine on my phone. Any Ideas? Thanks

Hi, I have the same apple id for my 5s and my two daughters 4s phones. For some reason lately, their updated for apps on their phones will not download. Mine works fine. When I press "update" on theirs, it just opens whatever particular app I'm trying to update. I've tried restarting their phones and signing out and signing back in to my account, but no luck. Any ideas? Any help would be appriciated.

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

CHange Apple ID that purchased app

Here's the deal:
I downloaded an app and opened it in iTunes.
At that point, it's in my app library.
I can't sync it to my iPhone 4, and I figured out why, it's because when i hit Command+i for info it says it was purchased by someone elses Apple ID.
How can I change the Apple ID that it says I purchased the app with to my Apple ID.
I tried to be as clear as possible but if anybody needs more information please tell me. would like to solve this problem.

You can't. You'll need to sign out of the iTunes Store with the other Apple ID, sign in with yours and purchase the app. This is why you should not allow your friends to use their iTunes Store account on your computer. You didn't buy that app, your friend did.

Change apple ID on Purchased APP's

Until fairly recently my wife and I shared an apple ID, simply because it was easier, as we only had one debit card to pay for purchases etc.
However, as our finances have become more stable I now have my own Apple ID and iphone 4.
So all of the APPS that I have previously purchased using our 'shared' Apple ID, I have imported into 'my' iTunes. I've also been able to sync them with my iphone.
The problem is, that when updates are issued they are looking for our 'shared' Apple ID. I did not with the following link that I'll need to put our 'shared' apple ID password in, forever...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20842941?searchText=Change Apple ID on APPS#20842941
Isn't this slightly rubbish?
I have paid for them, so don't see why I need to continue to use an old Apple ID. I appreciate this is for security reasons (otherwise, one person could download and share it with everybody). But, really that's not my concern, my concern is having the ability to update Apps that i have bought and paid for, without having to ask my wife "what's YOUR apple ID password again".

Sadly that's the way it is. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them, and you can't update apps across multiple IDs without switching in and out of each account.

Updated apple id - already purchased apps not showing???

Had to change my apple id email to a current email - once that was done I had issues with purchases - tried to update on both iCloud and iTunes - both devices when updating still bring the old email up so I cannot continue. Any help with this snag would be greatly appreciated.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Had to change my apple id email to a current email
Describe how you did that please?
Because what it sounds like you did was create a new Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another. Apple does not merge IDs. Only the Apple ID used to buy content can update or redownload content.

Unable to install/upgrade/update two purchased apps from App store.

An iOS newbie question. I hope it is not one of those malware attacks my client ran into too!
He currently has two installed iOS programs on his iPhone 4S that have updates:
Zillow Real Estate v5.2 (5/25/2012)
Faith Comes by Hearing v1.9.2 (5/25/2012)
However, both have/show greyed out "Installing" button that last forever. How does one fix this?
FYI, this iPhone 4S is not jail broken. Thank you in advance.

First, before you make yourself look even more foolish, is the fact that we're users here, NOT APPLE. This is a USER TO USER technical support forum. You're not addressing apple here, just making yourself look shall we say, not smart.
Feedback to apple goes here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone.html
Second, did you bother to Google 0xE800801C error, or to look this up on Apple's support site? In less than 10 seconds of searching, I have come up with multiple helpful articles.
Good things truly come to those who help themselves.

How do I remove an old apple ID from the APPS Store

I gave my 27 inch iMac to my dad and thought I had everything deleted off my IMAC before I gave it to him. I created an Apple ID for him; however, when we try to download updates from the APP Store it comes up with my old apple ID and asks me for the password to my old apple ID. We are able to log into ICoud and ITunes using his new apple ID but for some reason the old apple ID keeps coming up in the APP Store box when we try to download an update and the old apple ID is "grayed out" in the APP Store box and we cannot type over it. If we open up the app store and use the drop down menu, we are able to type in his new apple ID and purchase apps. I have tried signing out of the APP Store and ICloud and iTunes and the APP Store will not let go of my old original apple ID. An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID" and I have never heard of a user ID that could not be deleted or changed!!! I am a former long time PC user and I like the Apple products, but the whole iCloud, Apple ID business seems very complicated to me. I am dreading carrying a 27 inch computer to the Apple store to fix something that should not be so complicated.

An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID"
Actually, it is more than that. If you read the licensing agreements for any OS version or app obtained at the app store, it will become clear: the license for any app or OS obtained at the app store is not transferable. Hence it is tied to your Apple ID and will remain so - it cannot be removed.
You are supposed to remove anything obtained at the app store from the computer before giving/selling it. Your father will also not be able to reinstall the OS if need be.
Which OS version was on the Mac originally? You will need to use internet recovery (Command + Option + R) to erase your drive and then reinstall the original OS (if Lion or later). If it came with an install DVD, boot from that, erase the drive and reinstall. After that, your father can very easily download/update/reinstall any OS or app using his own Apple ID.

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

I am unable to update my apps... in my purchases page it appears as "update", then a message tells me to log on with the Apple ID I purchased the app with... Well I have tried my two different accounts and neither one will work, can someone help ??

And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...
Please Advise......

You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:

Any solution to unable to retrieve purchased apps in a new iPad using same Apple ID, same country but different payment mode?

Hello there, Tag2011.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up great information on the process of downloading a previous purchase:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Particularly useful in your instance:
Before you begin
Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store. If you changed your Apple ID from one country to another, you can’t download items you purchased in a previous country.
and then to download again:
Apps
Tap App Store.
If you're using an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Updates, then tap Purchased.
If you're using an iPad, tap Purchased.
Find the item that you want to download.
Tap the Download icon. After the app downloads, you can open it from the Home screen.
If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
If you have a problem with an older purchase, contact iTunes Store support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
