Your recent purchase with your Apple ID.

Hi,
Whenever I update my apps or purchase a new app using the iTunes desktop client, I am sent a form e-mail automatically. The subject is always, "Your recent purchase with your Apple ID." and the email reads:
Dear SlamSlam,
Your Apple ID, [email protected], was just used to purchase "App Name" from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorized purchases.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.comto change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
At first this alarmed me and I quickly changed my password thinking my account was compromised. But I soon realized this email is dispatched whenever I update apps via the iTunes desktop program. It does not happen on either my iPhone 4 or my iPad 1.
I checked and made sure my PC was an authorized device, yet I still receive these messages.
Any ideas?
I emailed Apple support but they reply with robotic, canned responses that are not even in regards to the subject I'm asking (they are misinterpretting my question for the standard iTunes receipts that are mailed, which this is not.)
Thanks,

I also am using version 10.3.1.55 of iTunes.
If I recall correctly, I received the first e-mail on June 26 or 27, so mine have also been occurring within the past 2 weeks.
I have never been asked to enter 3 security digits when making a purchase or updating an app. The only prompt I have ever received is simply to enter my account password to ensure that I am logged in before the purchase or update takes place. I am guessing the 3 security digits are the ones tied to the credit card you have saved to your account. I do not have a credit card saved to my account. Instead, I just buy iTunes gift cards and redeem those so that my account maintains a balance. I figure that's a lot safer than getting my credit card information stolen in the off-chance that I get hacked.

Your recent download with your Apple ID

To the Apple Customer Service, two issues:
1. Related to the "Your recent download with your Apple ID" e-mail:
I suspect it's about fishing attempt but I'm not sure :/
I received a "Your recent download with your Apple ID" e-mail yesterday mentioning not my primary Apple ID, but the backup/auxiliar one. BTW, I'm from Brazil:
"Dear [EDITED MY NAME],
Your Apple ID, [EDITED AUXILIAR E-MAIL], was just used to download Snake!Snake!Snake from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
This download was initiated from China.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.comto change your password, then see Apple ID: Security and your Apple ID for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple"
BUT, the links seems to be legit:

If they're legit it could be some weird bug from Apple, right?
2. Related to one album from my Itunes Cloud
One of my purchased album (all songs where purchased) was split in two albums: 3 songs on one album and the others on the other exact identical one.
How I can merge the songs on ONE album?
Thanks!

1. Check your account history in the usual way from within iTunes and look for anything you didn't buy. Use the report a problem links there rather than these public boards if there is an issue.
2. See Grouping tracks into albums.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox. Is there a way to unsubscribe from these?

It is in Settings>iTunes & App Stores to change automatic downloads. But it isn't your device that needs to be changed if you are the one that made the download. He needs to turn off the setting for automatic downloads on his phone. I'm guessing here, but you are all sharing the same Apple ID?

How can I find a list of recent purchases with my Apple ID?

My wife and I both use the same Apple ID to access the iTunes store and App Store across a bunch of devices (Apple TV, iPhones, iPad, my Mac). It seems that charges are consolidated so that they appear on my credit card in chunks (like, if I buy an app and an album and rent a movie in the same few days, they all appear as a single charge on my credit card). For my own sanity and keeping track of what we're spending on what, is there any way to see a list of recent purchases that have been charged to my Apple ID account? "Manage my Apple ID" doesn't seem to have the info that I can see.

Open iTunes
Click the store
Sign in
Click on your name and there should be a list of purchases from your Apple ID

Error states: "Song title" cannot be downloaded becuase it was not purchased with your apple ID, when in fact it was!! What is going on?

Hello I am trying to use the "Download Perviously Purchased" feature on iTunes. When I go to download the songs that are not in my library that I downloaded on a different computer with my same apple ID is states ""Song title" cannot be downloaded becuase it was not purchased with your apple ID"
I did purchase it with my exact apple ID and it even asked to make sure that my account info was correct which it was. How do i solve this problem??

There are a lot of reports of people having this problem (including me). The Apple iTunes store has been having other issues as well (some speculate it might be related to the recent Lion release).
You could open a case with Apple, or you could just wait it out. I'm sure Apple is in the process of fixing it since this seems to be hitting a lot of users.

Song cannot be downloaded because it was not purchased with your Apple ID.

The song that I tried to buy is not on my computer, it is in the list of purchased songs to download, but I get this error message when I try to download it to my computer. My computer has been authorized for iTunes purchases- so that is not the issue. It is an issue with iCloud that needs to be fixed.
My first experience with re-downloading purchased music involved missing titles- which were not in my list to download.
I contacted Apple- and they gave me the ability to download it.
Now, things that were not available before are available now. Some of them download, some of them present you with the error message above.
This system is not quite ready, it seems.

Just to add, it seems as though this happens in a strange circumstance (at least for me and one other user that I've encountered thus far).
Individual songs seem to download fine, but for albums I have purchased that I have not yet downloaded to my PC (for example, purchased on my iPad), iTunes keeps telling me 'SONG XXX' cannot be downloaded because it was not purchased with (my) Apple ID. This is technically a valid messge - I didnt' buy song xxx, I bought Album XXX... but it also happens when I click on the cloud below the album itself.

I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my apple id?

I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my Apple ID?

Yes if you go to http://store.apple.com/ on the top right under the search it will say "Account" or your first name. You will click or tap that and you will click "check order status" sign in. After you do that in the middle by the order date and number it will say "print invoices" and as long as your item(s) have been ship you will be able to see and print your invoice receipts. you can view items purchased in the last 18 months.

Can I pay the previous purchase with a apple card

I have my credit card on the Apple Store and I dont have any credit cards to make the update but is there a way that I can pay the previous purchase with a apple card

If iTunes gift cards are available in your country then you should be able to redeem them onto your account and use them to pay off any debt that you owe iTunes - you can't use Apple Store gift cards, they can only be used in Apple stores and their online store, they can't be used with iTunes.

There is no list available from your end; aside from using the Deauthorize All function, you need to access a computer individually, either physically or through Virtual Network Computing, to authorize or deauthorize it.

I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

Can't Play Recently Purchased Movie On Apple TV

Recently purchased Flicka via Apple TV, played perfectly for a few days. It shows up under "My Movies" but when I click on it to play it says " No Content." It shows up under my iTunes on my computer and plays fine on the computer but not the TV. It also shows in the content of the Apple TV on my computer's iTunes account. Any suggestions?

Tried rebooting, unplugged it and plugged it back in and nothing worked. We have played the movie several times and no issues until today. We have never had any issues and everything plays normal except this one movie. I just disconnected it from iTunes and re syncing it again to see if this solves the problem.
