Q: Print iTunes App purchase history

For tax purposes I need to print my iTunes App history. This can be viewed only as a series of small windows - I could make a snapshot of each one. Is there a more user friendly print version available as a complete list of purchases?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

    The purchase history that shows on your account via the Store > View Account menu option, and via http://reportaproblem.apple.com (that only shows the last 90 days purchases), are the only ways that I know of - neither has a print option.

    The process of searching iTunes Store purchase history is REALLY awkward. It seems designed to discourage customer inquiry or use.


    See below a brief list of steps (seriously) I just worked through in order to save my 2014 iTunes Store purchase history:

     

    1. Log into iTunes Store account
    2. Navigate to Purchase History
    3. Press Command-Shift-4 and select a screen capture of the list showing a few recent purchases
    4. Click Previous or Next button (To see earlier purchases click Next, click Previous button to see later purchases. Really.)
    5. Press Command-Shift-4 and select a screen capture of the resulting list
    6. Repeat (8 times) until desired lists have been captured as screen shots (or until you walk away in disgust)
    7. Then open all .png screen capture image files in Preview
    8. Export all image files to .pdf
    9. Open newly exported .pdfs
    10. Combine .pdfs into one file (see Preview Help for this)
    11. Click and drag .pdfs into a coherent order (suggest chronological order, but coherence is optional)
    12. Save As... your combined .pdf to a location of your choosing (printing optional)
    13. Log out of iTunes Store

     

    I hope this was helpful for everyone. Have a swell day
