I cannot purchase more transactions at the moment using your app... I have been trying for 2 days and every time I try to connect to iTunes Easy Books says that it cannot connect and that I should contact iTunes Support. I can purchase other apps no problem...

I sent an email to iTunes support and am awaiting a response... This is putting me behind in my data entry!!!!!!

What is happening and who is going to fix the problem? Please do not send generalized response which will not explain what is happening or what happened...

Thank You,
David

    Can I assume the app runs fine and you just can't buy the "extras" from the extras screen (Settings > Extras)?

    Does it show prices on the extras screen, or does it just say connecting?

    You could try one thing that might get it going. Assuming you have a 3GS or iPhone 4, you could quit the app using the multitasking panel (or restart the whole phone). It might be that purchasing will work just after the app is first started and stops working when you go out of coverage. I'm aware of this type of problem and I'll be making a change in the next update.

    Let me know if that was it, if not I can still try something else if you have a sync account.

    It shows price. I select it. Confirm screen pops up. I confirm. Password request screen pops up. I put in password. Please contact iTunes screen pops up. I click OK and the button in Easy Books says Failed. Under that it says cannot connect to iTunes Store.

    It sounds like you've done the right thing by contacting iTunes store
    then. I wonder why they want you to. Perhaps your card is expired?

    In any case, let me know what they say. Perhaps use the computer
    running iTunes to view your account and check for any messages or the
    credit card details.

    Its a message from the Apple in-app purchase system, not from Easy
    Books. But EB then assumes anything that ends without a purchase must
    be a "failed to connect to store". I should change the message to read
    "no purchase was made" because I can't tell from the response whether
    there was an error or the user just cancelled.

    Please let me know what Apple say.

    OK. It's just strange that I can buy other apps no problem... I first tried to purchase your Extra and it didn't work due to CC issues. I changed credit card on file. Bought App from iTunes store as well as made payment for Mac.com email service. Then I tried to buy this extra and it didn't work. I thought it might be something that had to reset overnight. But today it's the same.

    Thanks.

    By the way... Is there some trick to getting the company logo on the left side of invoices and shipping formats?

    Thanks again.

    Sorry to ask you this. Where do I find info regarding printer set-up?

    For a logo to show on the left side, try making an image of dimensions 17cm x 2cm (say 1700 x 200 px) with the left side containing your logo and the right side either white or transparent. I find a logo of about 4cm wide by 2cm looks nice.

    For printing, Easy Books will print using the iOS printer support. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356.

    I don't guarantee support, but I've also printed to a printer attached to a mac and set up as shared with the network.

    Hey Mathew,

    I tried to purchase the transactions today and it was successful. Thanks a lot for your attention to your App... You seem to really care about your product. Honestly, this is the first accounting program that I understand and like/use.

    Kind Regards,
    David

    Would you mind letting me (and everyone else reading this discussion) know what the solution was? Did you get a response from Apple?

    Thanks again for your assistance Mathew.

    This incident upset me in the beginning. Honestly, I like this program so much that I will put it on my Facebook page and recommend it to my friends. Not to be a "kiss ass" or anything.
