What is the $4.99 app charge on skype that iTunes charges?

In the middle of a call I was interrupted twice by iTunes to charge me $4.99 for an app charge on skype. Does anyone know what this is all about?

thanks all for your guesses.  I found the answer.  I was making a skype-out call which of course requires payment/credit.  But I have an automatic payment plan.  It should have worked but it was inadequate for some reason because I was calling a very high-cost country and calling a cell phone.  I was charged both the auto-pay as well as the apple app charge to cover the costs.  The thing is that Skype help would not verify it initially.  Apple was guessing.  I didn't find the answer until I pressed the Skype help to tell me their rate for the phone call.  It was billed at nearly $.50 a minute--outrageous for a VOIP call but that was the culprit. It took three hours of calling with Skype and Apple to get the answer.

    Go to OWC and purchase a drive and an enclosure. Put it together yourself. Takes about five minutes and a screwdriver. Or you can purchase one already complete from them if you prefer.

    Whatever you do in terms of charging will not destroy your iPod.
    Many people charge when it's convenient. Others just connect the iPod for syncing to the computer and leave it charging overnight, regardless of the ramaining charge level. Life of modern batteries is measured in full charge cycles. A charge cycle is either a full charge or any combination of small charges that adds up to 100% charge.
    The only real recommendations I've seen (including from Apple) is to keep the batteries away from heat and have a full charge once a month. For this, discharge the battery to about 20%, then fully charge.

  • What are the must have apps for Snow Leopard

    Just downgraded from Mavericks to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just can't stand the frequent beach balls. Was wondering what are the must have apps that are still being updated by the developers?

    Most of the apps that comes with OSX 10.6 are not being updated anymore. It would be great if you could recommend apps that are still being updated for security, stability etc for the following:
    1. Email
    2. Browsing
    3. Office Suite (like iWork)
    4. To do List
    5. Photo Editor
    6. P2P / File Sharing
    I am aware that there are reviews in the net for best apps, but I am interested to learn what people in this community have used personally and suggest.
    Cheers

  • What's the proper way to charge my iPod?

    What's the proper way to charge my iPod? I am confused because some people say that the ipod fast charges for up to 80% in 2 Hours and full charges up to 100% for the next 2 Hours, 4 Hours total. Now, i sync my iPod on the PC and charges it up to 2 Hours and the indicator on my iPod and iTunes already displayes the "PLUG" icon on the battery. Here's the part where i'm confused, how am i supposed to charge my iPod up to 100%/4 Hours if it will already be full w/in 2 Hours? Is it normal? :/

    Lithium ion batteries don't require much special handling. Charge them when ever you want. You don't have to wait until they discharge completely. In fact, the one thing you really shouldn't do with a lithium ion battery is drain it completely and let it sit that way.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the best way to charge my iPhone 6

    Im new to Apple product. Can anyone tell me what's the proper way to charge my iPhone 6? Most of the people around me (friends) told me not to over charge and better to charge it when the battery drain below 10%. But I read from many website everyone was saying charge it overnight is better and don't let it drain below 30%.
    So I dont know which is the proper way to charge my phone.

    You can charge it overnight and use it too, it will not harm ur device. You will want to let it completely drain and power off from no battery about once a month at least though.

  • I cannot get iDVD, what is the best alternative app to enable me to burn my projects to DVD?

    I cannot get iDVD, what is the best alternative app to enable me to burn my iMovie projects to DVD? why do Apple think that no one needs to burn DVDs?

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
