Account Hacked and In-App Purchases Charged

I was charged for in-app purchases for an app I never downloaded.  The app is listed as a free app and therefore as best I can tell there is no course of action through Apple for getting the total ($43.56) refunded.  Anyone know of anything that can be done other than contacting the developer (Tap4Fun)?  I'm sure they will email me right back.

Change your password.
Contact iTunes Support, you can probably get a refund.

  • My hotmail account was hacked, so the mail that I use to sign in in itunes also, it's the same. But if I create a new account how can I transfer the money and the apps purchased to the new account ?

    I really need help ! I had around 30 $ in my account !

    Don't create a new iTunes account.
    Just update everything with new info/change password/ security questions.

  • My account has been hacked and my credit card charged by the hacker

    My account has been hacked and my credit card charged by the hacker and all Skype has to say about it, is that I need to wait 72 hours for them to look at my query? I cannot log into my account. I have filled in the support form, but I haven't received an email notification from Skype that I have submitted it. I'm guessing that's because my account is now in the use of someone else, as the hacker changed the account over to his email address. I know he did that, as I got a notification of changing the email address at the same moment as I was logged out of Skype.  I use Skype professionally and this issue is causing me a world of trouble. The fact that Skype is a paid service ought to mean that there is better support than 'we will look at it within 72 hours.' 

    So nearly 24 hours later, and still no information either in this forum or via email notification from Skype.  Does this mean that Skype is instead communicating with the person who hacked my account? Since the hacker now has my account registered with their email address, It seems that's the most likely situation, given the unparallelled course of incompetence I'm experiencing from them.  If Skype had taken action on this right away (the moment I made the complaint, which was minutes after my account was hacked) the charge that the hacker made on my credit card would not be lost due to his usage of my account. But apparently, stopping fraud is so low on Skype's agenda that this can go on and on. If I had not been on Skype when it happened (prompting me to instantly block my credit card) there would have been nothing to stop the hacker from making multiple charges to my card, potentially running into the hundreds of dollars.  Instead of action to deal with my problems, I'm receiving notifications that I have earnt 'a new rank' in the Skype community. Whoop-dee-bleedin'-doo! 

  • HT4061 my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

    my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

    Hi there,
    This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
    But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
    In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
    I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
    iTunes Store Support
    You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
    Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,
    Nathan

  • HT4009 I'm trying to make and in-app purchase on my ipad  on which there is £14 credit (gift crd redeemed) however it's asking that because I have signed in from another device I need to verify my payment info, which I do but it declines? And I have funds

    I'm trying to make and in-app purchase on my ipad  on which there is £14 credit (gift crd redeemed) however it's asking that because I have signed in from another device I need to verify my payment info, which I do but it declines? And I have funds?
    I've even tried another card and get the same. Confused. Any advice?

    You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

  • Relating to sync and paid app purchases?

    Actually I am having a doubt regarding sync and paid apps purchases
    First question
    I am not having credit card so I can not make any paid app purchase from App Store but one of my friend is having credit card and he is making purchases so can I sync my phone with his pc and get his paid app to my phone
    Second question
    If yes, then  will my app that are already existing will still be with me so that I can use both my free as well as his paid apps one at a same time
    And my device in not jailbroken and I am not even interested in that

    can I sync my phone with his pc and get his paid app to my phone
    No, You would have to sign into your friends iTunes/App store account on your phone, and if you did that, all apps you previously downloaded on your account will no longer work (answer to question #2)

  • TS1702 hi. i have made and in-app purchase in fring. the amount was deducted from cridet card, receved receipt, but nothing happended to my balance at fring.

    hi. i have made and in-app purchase in fring. the amount was deducted from cridet card, receved receipt, but nothing happended to my balance at fring. what to do ???

    The problem is with an item in the 'Latest Purchases' section.  When I click on 'Report a Problem' it takes me to the support page.  I have gone to the link you provided many times... so far it always says to check again in a few minutes and never works.
    I would really like to hear back from Apple directly and get some assistance with this issue.

  • HT4009 I keep getting a message to contact itunes support when I try to make an in app purchase.  What could be causing this issue?  My credit card is up to date and in app purchases aren't restricted.

    Have you tried contacting iTunes Support and asking them ? We are fellow users here on these forums, it could be due to a number of reasons, we won't know which one.

  • Retail Folios and In-App purchases

    Hi,
    How are retail folios (as managed in Folio Producer) and in-app purchases related?
    That is, when I add a new in-app purchase for my new retail folio in my Multi-folio App; how does my app know which folio is related to which in-app purchased I added in iTunesConnect?
    In iTunesConnect I assign a price tier to my in-app purchase. How does the Multifolio App that is that given folio and no another that has to be that price tier?
    Thanks!

    Hello Bob,
    I'm trying to publish a new folio in one or our apps.
    It's a newsstand app including free and retail folios.
    My question about iTunesConnect:
    Do I have to create a new in-app purchase for each new retail folio?
    That's not very clear to me...
    Thanks in advance!

  • TS1702 Hi. I recently had my iTunes account hacked and £1500 worth was stolen. Since then I have changed my password several times and put a completely new ID in. Apple have disabled my account which means I cannot upgrade all my existing apps. Help !

    Hi
    I had my iTunes hacked recently. My account has been disabled. Changing passwords and ID I cannot upgrade all my existing apps purchased on my own pad! Help please.

    Did you create a completely new account or update the existing one ? If you created a new account then any
    content bought/downloaded via the old one will remain tied to that old account, and it can't be copied or transferred to a new account, so you will need to get your old account re-enabled in order to download updates to its apps.
    You might be able to get it re-enabled it via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If you've changed the password on the old account but the iPad isn't recognising it, then try logging out of your account on it by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' it on the iPad.

  • Setting up two  iPod Touches on one account with gift cards for app and in-app purchases

    I have multiple devices on one account - 2 iPod classics, one iPhone 3G and two recently acquired iPod Touches for my 8 year old boys.  They want to make in-app purchases (for Dragonville).  They each have their own gamecenter ID.  I want to set up each of them with gift cards for their purchases.  Is this possible?
    If not, what is the recommended approach to manage all devices in one place while allowing individual devices to have a seperate payment mechanism?
    Thanks.

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.
