In-app purchase errors

Yesterday I kept trying to buy a consumable in-app feature, and I kept being asked my security questions after I typed in my iTunes password, which has never happened before.  My answers apparently were wrong(?), as I was instructed to contact the iTunes Store (where it's hard as **** to find help).
Despite all those signs that nothing was happening, such as the "in-app app" I was trying to buy *not* showing up within the app (Words With Friends), today I got an email invoice from the iTunes Stores, saying that I bought the app 5 times!  Then why did it keep seeming to reject my request to buy, and why isn't the consumable app available to me within Words With Friends?  I should have a lifetime supply now, but I have nothing for my $10.  I've been ripped off.  I'm paying for something I didn't get.
Why did this happen, and who's going to make this right?

If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you've been charged (and it's not just a temporary holding charge for the amount) then you should mention that when you contact them

  • In app purchase Error

    So for the past three days I've had an in-app purchase error. One morning I tried to purchase an item in my app and it said "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again."
    I thought it was strange so I went to change my password (attempt #1). I changed it and logged into my itunes and icloud and all that good stuff. Everythign was fine. Checked my credit card info and everything was correct. Went back to the app and tried to purchase in-app again and still the same message. I thought it needed an hour or two to sync with my new password so I just waited for the day to go by. Tried again in the afternoon. Same message. So I thought my Apple ID was bugged or something so I created a new Apple ID and tried again. Same message. By now I'm ready to throw my iPhone across the room and yell a big F U. I called apple support yesterday and thought maybe they could help. No. Nothing at all. Couldn't do anything. I even contacted the app company and they can't do anything.
    This is what the message looks like. Desperate for help. I've deleted and reinstalled the app, I've reset passwords 4 times and created two additional Apple IDs. So I think I've tried majority of the stuff.

    Same is happening to me brother. Apple is sounding incompetent on the issue as I have had to re itereate myself three times to them and they are just going in circles with the issue.
    My issue lies within the game Clash of Clans. I've got over $400 invested into the game and can no longer put anymore in as I am getting the same issue as you. Here is the latest email I sent to them regarding my issue:
    "It's not the iTunes store that I am having an issue with. I've clearly stated my issue to you and have yet been able to receive an intelligible response in regards to my said problem with Apple.
    Again, please let me re iterate the issue.
    When trying to purchase gems in the app "Clash of Clans", I receive a message saying "The apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again."
    FACTS surrounding this issue:
    1. My Apple ID is showing up correctly in the app as '[email protected]'.
    2. I've verified my Apple password by logging successfully into my account in iTunes.
    3. I've entered my Apple password into the app when trying to make another $99.99 purchase with repeat messages saying, "The apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again."
    4. The app I am trying to make the purchase in is updated to the latest version. There are no available updates for the game currently.
    I expect a resolution soon. I do not want to repeat myself in a third email message."
    I have yet to get a response and doubt they will be able to fix this issue any time soon as they are SLOW in responding. Too bad they couldn't give any of the people in China jobs to answer phones rather than work in the sweatshops over 15 hours a day, 7 days a week.
    Don't believe me, check it out for yourself: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2096551/Apple-shamed-Chinas-iPod-sweatsh ops-SIX-YEARS-expos.html
    I just want to be able to buy gems in my game. . . that's all!

  • I keep getting an in app purchase error when I go to buy tokens on scramble

    i just switch iTunes accounts and I keep getting an in app purchase error on apps like scramble. How do I fix. 

    If you mean that you downloaded scramble with one iTunes account and are
    attempting to make an in app purchase with another iTunes account, you cannot
    do that. You can only make in app purchases from the account used to acquire the app.
    If this is not what you mean, provide more details so someone may offer a solution.

  • In-app purchase: Error message when adding a test storekit user

    Hi, I'm running into the "The email address you entered already belongs to an existing Apple account. Please try again." when I try to add a test user for in-app purchases. I used an email associated with an existing Apple-id.
    I'm running into "Could not convert Apple ID account to iTunes store account." when trying to add a test user with an email-id that doesn't have an Apple-id with it.
    I have enabled "in app" purchases and added an in-app-purchasable product id using itunesconnect.
    Using the programmer-portal, I've also configured the app-id of the app to enable store kit in-app purchases
    I'm assuming that I need to signin with the test-user account for the code to receive the storekit productsRequest:disReceiveResponse callback. However, I haven't been able to create the test user
    Does anyone know why both scenarios (described on top) are resulting in an error message ?

    If I try to login from Settings->Store, it asks for my credit info which I'm sure is not necessary.
    Apple had this to say about that on 8.28.09:
    "Setting up Test Accounts for Testing In App Purchase
    Before testing In App Purchase in your application, you need to create an In App Test User in iTunes Connect—you should not use other accounts as doing so will result in prompts to enter your credit card number and other information.
    Here is how to properly set up your test user for testing In App Purchase..."
    Please read all the latest info at the link and good luck w/your app.

  • HT4009 how to report in app purchase error

    My son purchased an in app purchase for £34.99 yesterday for a free game in error however when i go to "report a problem" on itunes on my pc it just open up the apple website on the itunes download page.
    I've tried clicking report a problem on a different app and that opens up the window on itunes as it should.
    Is there a time restriction before you can report a problem or can you simply not get refunds for in app purchases made in error?

    All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support via this page and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    To try and stop it happening again you can turn off in-app purchases on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off', and you can also set 'Require Password' to 'Immediately' on the Restrictions screen

  • Garageband: How to fix a not enough space to download in app purchase error?

    I have 7GB free and when I try to download the in app purchases in Garageband 10 it tells me to free up space and try again, without even saying how much space I need. Anyone else having this problem and or knows what to do? How can I resolve this?
    Thanks

    you need to clear some space on your hard drive by deleting some files.  7 gigabytes is really a very low level of free space to begin with, a rule of thumb is to always have at least 10% - 15% of your hard drive available for the OS to use.
    i don't recall exactly how big the D/L is, but it might be 5-6 gigs (and you'd need at least twice that so the files have room to be unpacked)

  • In app purchase error message "it doesn't look like you've purchased this product with this account"

    I have one itunes account and I made an in app purchase to unlock a full game. The charges appear on my account but the game tells me "it doesn't look like you've purchased this product with this account", although it acknowledges that I already paid to unlock a full version. I tried redownloading the game, I tried syncing with itunes. I am not sure where to start next. Any help appreciated. Thanks

    Sorry, maybe I didn't express myself well.
    I have the same Apple ID in the 3 devices, iPad mini, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5s. In the 2 first the app camera+ is installed, but it is the unique app that doesn't show up in my purchased items in the iPhone 5s. If I want it I have to buy again. I really didn't understand what happened that I can't install it free again.
    Thank you.
