Why can i not purchase from the app store?

I am having problems getting my ipad mini to download apps from the app store. I have a Iphone 5 and Ipad mini wifi
Please help

Please explain more - what happens, when you try? Where does it fail exactly?
Can you purchase apps with your iPhone, but not with the iPad mini?
Are you using the same AppleIDs on both devices?

    Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.

    DNS -
    Some folks resolve download and other connection issues by using either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS services. The best use is to use it as the DNS configuration in your modem/router/gateway device, but often the configuration in the computer or iOS device will over ride the other configuration if you don't have access.

  • Why can't I purchase on the app store?

    I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro that I had purchased the Snow Leopard for through the app store. I just paid the 20.00 bucks and downloaded it without any issues. I have now given the computer to my brother and in order to have all of my stuff erased and it set up under his apple id and such I had to reboot the system using the startup discs that came with the computer originally. No issues there, I was able to do it but I want to upgrade it now to Yosemite but of course it has to be an OS X system no later than 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard. I understand that I have to pay for it again and that is not an issue BUT now I have to order it and wait for it to come as is appears to not be available on the Apple app store anymore.... does anyone know if I am missing something? Its saying that it wont arrive until Jan 5 and I was hoping to have all of this done before Christmas so I am super bummed....
    Many Thanks

    You needed Snow Leopard to get to anything higher. So, yes, that disc must be bouncing in a drawer somewhere.
    If you can't find the SL disc, you could try to download the installer for whatever you did buy online for $20 (Lion? ML?) on your new Mac, then use that installer to upgrade the old Mac. I don't know whether that procedure will work--you may still need SL on the old Mac to upgrade to something higher--but it's worth a shot.
    First, on the new Mac, go to the App Store and check your Purchases. See if you can find a link for the previously purchased Lion or ML. But because the purchase may be tied to the serial number or some other unique machine identifier of the old Mac, perhaps you won't find the old purchase. (I don't know. I haven't been down this road.) However, if the purchases are tied instead to your Apple ID, then you might reasonably expect to see these old purchases in the App Store on the new machine. If so, follow the instructions that you find on the net (for instance, http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/01/re-download-os-x-mavericks-installer-mac-app-stor e/ or http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/24/re-download-older-os-x-version-from-mac-app-store /) for downloading but not installing the Lion/ML installer on the new machine and then transferring that installer to the old machine.
    Good luck!

  • TS1368 Why can I only download from the apps store and not itunes

    Why can I only download from apps store and not iTunes.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • Why can I not download from the iTunes Store??

    I bought an album from the iTunes Store via my iPhone 5 and despite the fact that I have a strong 4G signal, it is telling me that one track is going to take over 42 minutes to download! I checked the speed on Speed Test and it showed 32mbps download and 10mbps upload. EE told me that as nothing else is affected (I can connect to other apps such as You Tube and Safari fine) then it must be a fault with my iPhone or iTunes. They also mentioned that there was a known issue with update 6.1.3 where the handset showed an LTE signal when there was actually none. Anyone aware of this?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • How can I install Mountain Lion in a VMware fusion, if it came with my macbook pro, and not purchased through the app store?

    I have Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro with Retina but I want to install Mountain Lion in a VM for application testing. I try to install it from the recovery partition but it states that when I put in my apple ID, it states that it was not purchased through the App Store. My OS came with my Macbook. Is there anything that I can do to get it to install in a VM?
    Thanks

    Not really. The license that comes with pre-installed OS is only for that Mac.

    Everytime i purchase from the apps store it always show the security questions and i cant buy the apps i want because the questions are not answerable. Pls help....

    I think you need to reset those questions. You'll need to call the tech support for your country, ask to be connected to the Account Security Team and then ask if they can reset the questions for you.

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out
