Buy All Button Missing from My Wishlist - Answer as to WHY!

Seems they could do a shopping cart. Have a wish list, then option to individually add items to cart to purchase or add all to cart and purchase from cart. Or a simple extra screen before they put in password to complete purchase to confirm they want to buy all songs on wish list. Not having the option is a pain when you've saved 50 songs in your wish list you want to buy. 😉

Submit your feedback to Apple here:

Thank you. I wrote Apple about the issue and Apple Support directed me to your comment. I think it's odd that Apple Support uses thier customer's discussions to answer support questions.

I suggest popping a simple dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to buy everything in your wish list?" with selections to "Cancel" or "Buy Everything." But I might as well be ******* in the wind as far as Apple is concerned.

1. Thanks for digging into this and taking the time to wait for a reply from Apple,

2. Seriously? A huge company like Apple that designs state of the art computers, iPads, iPhones, etc. can't come up with a simple solution to a possible "Buy All" button issue? My God I'd expect this sort of reply from MicroSoft not Apple.

Yea let's just remove it because we have a bunch of idiots that can't read a button caption, rather than putting a second chance warning your going to "Buy All" if it's pushed.

3. I don't care how quickly you purchase a Wish List of items I've never have been billed (1) time fora multiple item purchase. I've purchased many times since this change despite my hatred of this decision and not once has it worked like that. I just purchased 50 songs within 2 minutes <singly> and I was charged (7) times. 😟

4. Apple used to be different and listened to customers not come up with idiotic excuses or actions, like the rest of the competition.

Not impressed Apple!

I agree,

What's so hard coding a checkbox against the items so any or all can be purchased? Bank charges can increase for an excessive number of transactions, this can turn out to be a costly exercise. 😟

I totally agree with you. Apple, which is at least supposed to be at state of art in user interfaces, being so succesfull with iDevices beaten by a checkbox that even the simplest on line shop shows since late '90?! Bulls@@@t, one of the less smart answer ever heard!

Why are we consistently changing things on this planet in order to cater to the dumbest of us?... I agree with the extra checkbox, why can't logic prevail? I'm going to go buy my one song at a time now... but I'm going to be mad about it ;-)

Due to the multiple transactions my bank actually withheld the payments to Apple as they appeared fraudulent, purely based upon the sheer frequency of transactions to the same retailer...I then received a message from Apple that my account was in arrears and then had to speak to my bank verbally in order for them to release the payments and enable me to continue to purchase my wish list. So emptying my crate took the best part of a day! I buy a LOT of music from iTunes so this is a real pain! I completely agree with the comments that in order to placate the stupidity of the lowest common denominator we are forced into this highly repetitive time-consuming charade...

As a last ditch effort.....

I just got off the phone with Apple after over an hour of of being transferred 5 times and getting the same response from everyone....."there is nothing I can do about it".

Who can?

My last purchase of 50 songs <all within 2-minutes purchasing singly> had my Credit card charged 6 times...........insanity.

What is wrong with Apple?

They used to be concerned about their customers.....now they've fallen into the same mold as every other big company. Who cares.....we're stil making a ton of money.

Next time I go to purchase an upgrade for my iPhone or iPad......Android is looking like a much better option all the time.

I won't spend my money with a company that doesn't care anymore and forces their customers to jump through hoops to purchase their media. 😟

The idea of switching to buying songs from Amazon via my Android phone now has much more appeal to me.

Yes, and sounds much more sensible than a silly email campaign.

To fellow frustrated users: in the U.S. where I live, you can buy an iTunes gift card when you buy your groceries, load it to your iTunes account and shop-one-song-at-a-time all you want. That will get you around the issue of N1 charges to your VISA card for N2 songs purchased.

To Apple: better fix this issue than wasting money on arguing over it and loosing customer loyalty in the process. I guess it would be cheaper.

The absence of the "Buy All" button has been a frequent topic in this user-to-user forum, but I have seen no evidence that Apple is "wasting money on arguing over it."

Not sure what you mean by this. If customers take your advice of using gift cards instead of credit cards, there appears to be no loss of loyalty and no loss of revenue.

Customer support comes for free, right?

"there appears to be no loss of loyalty and no loss of revenue."

I guess there'll be more people taking jaramill's approach just below than finding my earlier response.

I'm sure glad you guys find my workaround useful!
