Why do i have to have my billing information to redownload what i have already purchased??

When i try to redownload apps i have already purchased,  i cant cause i keep getting asked to update my billing info!!   I think this is crazy

Hi Mikymse1975,
It sounds like you may need to verify / update your iTunes Store account billing information again.
The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
Then restart the iPhone and follow the instructions below:
(You will most likely be prompted to enter the security code and expiration date for your credit card.)
iTunes Store: Changing account information

Changing your account information using an iOS device:
Tap Settings on the Home screen.
Tap iTunes & App Stores.
Tap on your Apple ID. (If you are not signed in, enter your Apple ID and password, and tap Sign In.)
Tap View Apple ID.
Enter your Apple ID password.
To update your name, billing address, or payment information, follow these instructions:
In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
Update the information that you want to change.
Tap the Done button when finished.
I hope this information helps ....

  • I have songs re-downloading into my library which i have already purchased. why is this happening?

    So i opened my iTunes and it asked my to log on which i did and then i had a whole album downloading again which i have already purchased. why is this happening?

    Yes. you should keep your media in iTunes, and indeed you should also keep a backup of your library as well. if you have the device set up for manual management then the content would remain on it when deleted from the library, but you would have no way to restore the device if there was a problem.

    That is not a practically empty xinitrc - that file only needs one line: exec WM.  Other things are entirely optional, and some of them very useful, but I'd encourage you to stick with the simplest xinitrc that will do what you require.
    Is slim involved?  Probably.  That is the source of many problems.  But to start narrowing this down, I have 3 suggestions:
    1) temporarily (at least) change your inittab to default to runlevel 3 ... actually, is it currently set to 5 or 3? if it is currently 3 that would explain why slim doesn't start.
    2) at a tty in runlevel 3 use "xinit" instead of "startx".  Startx is fine most of the time, but it is essentially just a complex wrapper for xinit.  That complexity can often iadd useful functionality, but it *always* makes troubleshooting more difficult.  So for now just use a vanilla 'xinit'.
    3) remove dbus-launch from your exec line in xinitrc.  This is done by console-kit so it is redundant and potentially problematic.  Further BOTH of these are taken care of by slim, so I'd even suggest getting both a jump start on being ready for slim and simplifying troubleshooting by removing both of them.  Just make that line "exec openbox-session"
    Edit: adding one more:
    4) temporarily switch out openbox-session for openbox.  I suspect the reason feh's setting of the background is getting overridden is due to a script or setting in openbox's autostart settings - many of these are only invoked when "openbox-session" is called, while "openbox" starts *just* the window manager itself.

  • Why did I get charged again for items I have already purchased?

    Why did I get charged again for items I have already purchased?

    My theory is that because the original appleID wasn't an email, they're making you switch to it when you update to iOS5.  So that creates essentially a new appleID and it isn't recognized as the one that originally made all your purchases.  Sign out of the Store and then sign in using your old ID and it should do the trick.
    The other alternative is to sync your apps rather than reinstalling them....if you can.  Hope the phone service helps.

    Did you add or change your credit card details when downloading it ? If so then it's probably a store holding charge which should disappear within the a few days (though as it's now the weekend it may take a day or two longer) : store holding charges.

  • Why am i being asked for my billing information when i want to download a free app?

    Why am I being asked for my billing information when i want to download a free app?

    Because you have not entered billing information and it is required to confirm you are in the country which you are attempting to acquire content from.

  • HT1918 I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play.  Any suggestions?

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

  • Apps - Download All Free Updates - You have already purchased this item

    I have an iPad and iPhone, and over the past few months I've noticed that iTunes keeps getting confused when trying to download app updates.
    So right now if I run iTunes, it shows that there are 16 updates in Apps.  I click on Apps and then click the "16 Updates Available" link at the bottom right.  This opens the "My App Updates" view.  I then click "Download All Free Updates" and get a prompt that says:
    You have already purchased this item
    You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu.
    This is confusing because:
    I have no idea which of the 16 app updates it is talking about
    I'm not told why it has not been downloaded
    Check for available downloads doesn't do anything.
    I can get around this problem by manually downloading each update individually, syncing and trying an update again.  But after a few weeks I get more updates and the problem starts all over again.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Cheers
    Boz

    You read a very old article that applied only to apps.

  • ITunes no longer recognizes I have already purchased apps!

    First, I use Unix. I am VERY unhappy that Apple forces me to either have a Windows or MAC installation to sync iPhone. After getting my iPhone the way I wanted it, I dumped Windows completely, not realizing that I was thus deleting my iTunes app and music library. I wasn't worried because I believed that Apple was somehow remembering my purchases as I was used to seeing the message "you have already purchased that app".
    Well, I upgraded to OS 4, but it locked up and would not communicate with the Store (apparently because I was running a virtualized Windows under Linux), and this resulted in me having to reinstall Windows vista and iTunes on a partition of my Unix system. After hours to get that up and running, I was able to complete the OS 4 install on my iPhone 3GS ONLY after reseting it completely, thus lossing ALL my apps and data!
    I am not a happy campper. Now iTunes does not seem to know I have previously purchased $100 of dollars of apps and music, and I have NOTHING on my iPhone.
    Calling support I was disconnected, and they did not call me back! I was told I had to "chat" for support, but was unable to get the link before being disconnected, and all I want to know is how I can get the apps I have paidd for and get them back on my iPhone without having to get billed for them again!
    Any suggestions? I'm so mad I'm about ready to trash my iPhone and NEVER buy Apple again.
    Patrick

    1) Log into the iTunes Store, making sure you are using the account under which you purchased the apps. Confirm by going into your account information and looking at your Purchase History. If your apps aren't shown there, you probably aren't using the correct account.
    2) Go through the process of buying the app. When you click "buy", iTunes should inform you that you've already purchased the app and offer to let you download it again for free.
    3) Repeat for each app.
    4) Make a backup of the apps so that if you erase your hard drive again you have a backup copy.
    Note that the iTunes Store has no telephone support. If you need to contact them, use the form on their Support page. Select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button.
    Regards.

  • I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.

  • Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution i have already purchased it can i download a torrent and authorize it

    Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution I have already purchased it can I download a torrent and authorize it. Somebody pl. Help

    Exactly. Some of us don't understand the situation in India. This is a country with sickest internet speeds. The internet segment is dominated by fraudulant companies. There is no consistency that is why most of the data transfer here is through Pen drives and torrent websites. We have never seen a good downlooad speed here. And on the top of inconsistency lies the Mac book Air without a built in RJ45 port.
    If i have to do it in an internet cafe it will cost me more time and money than to purchase a Mac book air itself. Apple should start giving us software loaded flash drives at least at premium.

  • "You have already purchased this item. Would you like to buy it again?"

    I bought an album from iTunes on my PC. I went on the iTunes store on my iPod Touch to download the same album, but it said "You have already purchased this item, would you like to buy it again?" My question is will I get charged again if I hit buy? If so, then why would I get charged? I already bought the album. On my iPhone 4s and iPad2, the album automatically downloaded due to that one feature (I forgot the name). So why can't I do the same on my iPod Touch?

    "My question is will I get charged again if I hit buy?"
    Of course you will.  Why would you do this?
    " If so, then why would I get charged? "
    Because you are buying it again.
    "So why can't I do the same on my iPod Touch?"
    You can, just not by buying it again.

    Do you mean that you haven't received the item ? If you do then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : 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
    Or do you mean something else ?
