Michal Ždanský Several of the new features introduced in iOS 5 are already available to iPhone and iPad owners. These include, for example, the history of purchases in the App Store or automatic downloads. Be careful with the latter function if you have more than one iTunes account.
Automatic downloads are part of iCloud. Enables simultaneous download of the given application on all your devices upon activation. Therefore, if you purchase an application on your iPhone, it will also be downloaded to your iPod touch or iPad. In connection with this, Apple has updated the terms of iTunes. As a rule, most of us agree without reading them, but the paragraph about automatic downloads is interesting.
When you turn on the feature or download previously purchased apps, your iOS device or computer will be associated with a specific Apple ID. There can be a maximum of ten of these associated devices, including computers. However, once the association takes place, the device cannot be associated with another account for 90 days. This is a problem if you switch between two or more accounts. You will be cut off from one of your accounts for three whole months.
Fortunately, this restriction does not apply to app updates. But when you want to use automatic downloads or buy a free app that you've already downloaded and you don't have it on your computer or device, you're out of luck. At least on the account card, Apple allows you to track how many, how many days are left before we can associate the device with another Apple ID.
With this step, Apple apparently wants to prevent the use of multiple accounts, where a person has one personal account and another shared with someone else, in order to save on applications and be able to buy half of them with someone. This is understandable, but if someone has two personal accounts, in our case, for example, a Czech account with a credit card and an American one, where he buys a Gift Card, it can cause significant complications. And how do you view this step?
The line is over the budget... but somehow I will cope with it... 95% I have US and I will use the few apps from the Czech store...
So it's a big complication for me. I have roughly 30% of the application from the US store (gift cards) and the rest from the Czech store. I'll see how it looks in practice, I hope I won't be forced to buy any apps again...
Actually, I didn't notice it and since we have 3 iPhones in one account in the family and I wanted to disconnect one iPhone this week and make it its own store account, I'll probably give it up.
Question: If my friend has an account and buys applications into it, and I have an account in CZ and US and download only FREE applications, could I switch to her account where she has purchased some and the applications that I downloaded for free remain on those two accounts? Does this change concern me in any way specifically? Thank you very much for your answer
I might be wrong, but I would say that if I turn off "automatic download of applications" on all devices, then this paragraph does not apply to me, and then everything runs as before :-) ?!?
This applies even if you download a previously purchased application that is not on the device.
How about JAILBREAK not telling you anything?? Then you can sign in to all apple accounts and download apps for free.
@Mara: You probably know that everyone wants to steal like you. The beauty of the appstore is precisely in its convenience, updates and the like. You'd better go to your parents and ask them to increase your pocket money by 20 CZK so that you can buy one app a month rather than talking stupidly like this...
To Mara: and with that Jailbreak, the seller in the Apple Store will be stunned, and then I can take away the dream iPhone? Can I come over and hit you with that Jailbreak too? I don't have money to eat, but I would really like the iPhone.
That's all: unfortunately, it involves a change ala iCloud. I think it can be survived somehow.
JB is useless now! Ever since 02 enabled tethering, JB has been a tool to root your device and install stupid apps.
Why download apps are stolen? The originals are always mostly LITE and free, and if I like something, twenty crowns really won't kill ANYONE.
Personally, I think that instructions for JB should not be here! They are suggestions for stealing, which is not even compatible with our laws, which are – you know what…….
to Guest Fuchs :
JB is absolutely useless.. it depends on what purpose you use it for... for example me for one and simple reason, and that is paid applications from cydia...
nowhere is it said that JB is done for the purpose of stealing and co.. so I would moderate the preparation for flamewar
I was looking for an application to sync iphone with google docs, there are about ten of them and each one costs a lot, so I tried each one and bought the one that suits me, if they introduce a time trial, I don't need JB and I'm not talking about the fact that 8 apps were total not usable.
The advice is not to buy the device. If you want to debug something, then Android is probably better for you.
Maybe it's the compulsion to constantly distinguish people with something.
The application can also be returned. If it doesn't work then it's bullshit. The instructions are probably also on this server.
is it possible to complain, so I should now complain about 8 apps? I'm not in favor of stealing, but I think I have a reasonable reason, and above all, I have this opportunity, so I'll use it.
So if I understood it, do not turn on AutoDownload and life goes on with more accounts as before?
If I have automatic downloads turned off and I buy an application on a PC in the app store, does it not appear in the purchased item in iOS?
Discoveries. It is an automatic download (installation). Otherwise, you really have to do it yourself. Go to the appstore and see that it is purchased and click install. This would happen automatically in the case of an automatic machine.
This is quite unpleasant, I just bought a gift card to buy TomTom Europe and I'm looking to add a bit of work :-( I got everything else from the CZ store. I'm mainly annoyed by TomTom that because of their stupidity I have to deal with it like this (I he also wrote to them nicely yesterday). It's a pity that there is no possibility to donate an application from one account to another, if it is not on the same App Store :-(
