Multiple accounts and the problem of purchasing the application more than once

The American iTunes account is the most popular around the world, due to several reasons: Including the spread of American iTunes cards and the availability of some applications and games in the American store before any other store, so there are millions of users who have more than one account, but this matter has disadvantages because sometimes it results in repeated purchases of applications. How does this happen and can it be avoided?


To illustrate how the issue occurs we assume that you have two accounts; One of them is Saudi and the other American, and you permanently put the Saudi account in your device and use the American to download offers. Sometimes you update an application that you previously bought from your American account, and you are surprised that you bought it again from the Saudi account. The reason for this is that Apple's servers see that this application is not present in your current “Saudi” account, and you think that this update request is a purchase request, so you buy it for you in your Saudi account.

In order to distinguish between whether he will purchase a non-update, note that the iOS 6 system does not ask you for the password for the account registered in the device when updating applications, for example if you have applications downloaded from the US and Saudi accounts, when an update is issued, your device will update the applications downloaded from The registered account (Saudi) and it will ask you for the password for the unregistered (American) account, but if you are registered for the Saudi account and were surprised during the update that the system asks you for the password for the Saudi account, know that it requires the password to buy the application, not to update it. Here, refuse to type the password, log out of the Saudi account, register with the US account, and update applications.

The previous method is valid for iOS 6 because it upgrades the apps without asking for a password, but if you are on iOS 5 and earlier and you suffer from this problem and your balance decreases, then update by syncing with iTunes and not from the device yourself unless you remember which apps you purchased from Any account.

Have you encountered this problem and found your balance decreasing for no known reason? Share your experience with us

Hi
I bought an iPhone that had apps purchased from another account and I recently updated its system and did all the necessary steps, backup and everything, but after the update when I did the restore I did not find these apps, I only found the free apps downloaded from my account only
Is there a way to restore these applications? I would like to point out that I have read many articles about the update and I did not find any indication or warning regarding this, so I hope that the brothers will write about it. Thank you.

Peace be upon you... I am facing a problem when updating applications.. as it asks me for a username and password. For another account that is not mine, it was using the same tablet (iPad) even though the applications are downloaded through my own account.. which forces me in many cases to delete the application and then download it again. The problem only occurs when downloading updates. I deleted the old account from the settings and put my own account (American store), but the problem still persists.

I have a catastrophe. I bought such a program with a visa, and after a while the visa was canceled and it became a daddy line
I changed the device, but I do not have a backup, and everything that I do not carry the programs returns me to the visa information confirmation page

Is there a solution ???

Now, I have two Saudi and American accounts, and the apps I buy from the Saudi account
If I want to want the most recent purchased application, the password request appears for me, followed the US account, although I plan to log out of it and inside my Saudi account
The problem is this, but in the update. As for downloading the applications, the Saudi account password appears, and I will download the normal one. What is the problem ?!

I only use one American account .. and I find that there are some programs that I bought before, and I became for an amount. How does this happen when I paid the amount before ?!

It is not a program or two that I discovered that the program was canceled from my account without prior notice or a specific reason, and among the programs that robbed me of 1password in which I paid $ 14.99 for a copy of the Universal (it was previously XNUMX copies of the program - for the iPhone, for the iPad, for the two together, Universal) And I bought the version that works on both

Peace be upon you. I have a 32GB 4S iPhone and I opened a free account and downloaded free applications in the first four pages. Then I opened an American account and bought applications and placed them in the next to the last pages. When changing the location of an application from the second page to the seventh or eighth page, and after pressing the home button, crash occurs. A problem with two accounts in one device in terms of updates or transferring applications as I have many applications in the two accounts that require updates (XNUMX) out of (XNUMX) applications and no newer until after reading the update because some applications remove some advantages from them, meaning that the previous version is better
Are the updates in (App store- Updates) can be arranged according to the date of the update or the name of the application because searching in more than XNUMX updates for the new only is difficult

    For example, when you update any application from your Saudi account, it does not need a password, but once the application is different from them, a new account will appear for you other than your Saudi account.
    As well as know that the application is different for his account.
    To know more, log in through iTunes, view your account, and see which country you settled the account from.
    And your safety

    The update will be free of charge, but you have to perform the update from each device separately.
    You can update on all devices at once, by updating your applications on iTunes, then connecting devices and syncing them after iTunes finishes updating.
