6yo bought a $50 in app purchase, how do I get a refund?

Apparently my 6yo must have hit OK in the middle of a game to spend $50 on more coins. Is there a way to get a refund? Or a way to prevent this from happening in the future?

You may also want to turn off the ability to install apps, to prevent purchases in case the child gets hold of your iTunes Store account information, and set the password to be required immediately. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, as James said that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask. They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases by children. No guarantees, though, just as if your child was in a store and ate a bunch of food (in other words, something that can't just be returned).
Good luck.

    You probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

    It's possible they'll make an exception for you.

  • I bought osx lion by mistake. How can I get a refund?

    I was waiting desperately for OSX Mountain Lion, which was anounced for july. I went to the App store on july 2nd, I looked for Lion in the search tab, I did find an OSX Lion and I clicked BUY. It started download, but never got even 10% because of my internet connection bandwidth. Then I realized that my Macbook Air, which I bought on Dec 2011, had OSX Lion 10.7.4 already installed. How can I return this purchase and get a refund?

    Open iTunes (Mac) and go to the top right and click on your email. Sign in and navigate to Purchase History > click see all > Click on report a problem > Find the purchase for OS X Lion > Click report a problem and tell Apple what happened and they should help you out. I've gotten a store credit before but its a one time acceptation. I hope this helps!

  • Mac App Store: How do I get a refund?????!!!!!

    Ok, 5 days ago I purchased LEGO: Pirates of the Carribeen (on sale, if it helps). That night I stupidly closed my MacBook and the next morning I was back to square one. Just before the halfway mark I had to leave for 2 days (with my MB) and go to a place with... DUN DUN DUN... No Wifi. When I came back I thought I'd finish my download. 10 minutes later. Error 404 or something like that.. Maybe 403. Anyways, I had to retry. So I did. 5 Minutes later. Same again, but this time The App DISAPPEARED FROM MY PURCHASES LIST!!!!! I really want my money back but I don't know who to contact or how.
    P.S I read in the Terms and Conditions that within 90 days I can get a refund so now I just need to know how.
    Thanks!!!

    Changing your DNS server may help the error 403 issue.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK
    Relaunch the App Store.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    No idea which T&C you are reading but Apple's policy clearly states that, "all sales are final" >   iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
