Do applications purchase through the media store count towards data usage?

I am interested in purchasing a weather app from the media store, but am curious if I will be charged for data usage when I access the app each time. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Looking at MyCast and Weatherbug, they are both apps for the Blackberry, which requires a data plan anyway, and they do use data. Further, it tells me to browse apps on my phone to find compatible ones (and the browsing and dowloading WILL use data).
What phone do you have? If the apps or serivces use text alerts to send you information, then you should be ok - it's all text. If they are constantly updating, then they are likely accessing the internet to do so and are using data.
As far as the games, most games, once on your phone, are OK to play. Some may access information on high scores or interact with other players, and those functions do use data. You may be able to block that or turn off those options to prevent any unwanted data usage.

How can I install Mountain Lion in a VMware fusion, if it came with my macbook pro, and not purchased through the app store?

I have Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro with Retina but I want to install Mountain Lion in a VM for application testing. I try to install it from the recovery partition but it states that when I put in my apple ID, it states that it was not purchased through the App Store. My OS came with my Macbook. Is there anything that I can do to get it to install in a VM?
Thanks

Not really. The license that comes with pre-installed OS is only for that Mac.

Hi, My name is Bheki Yende
I'm experiencing a problem with an app I've just purchased from iTunes, I have tried every piece of advice from the "iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store" and still nothing is working. I would like to get my refund on this pls.
This is an inconvenience, I don't understand why I have to contact the developer for a faulty product in your store.
I've paid iTunes to get this, so iTunes must fix this problem for me or give my money back.
Thanks

This is a user forum, you are not speaking to Apple here.
You will need to contact iTunes support here, regarding this issue. They will usually respond within 24 hours.

HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

When purchasing through the Adobe store

When purchasing through the Adobe store - which country will be so settled with? Here in Denmark we pay the tariff fee for the Danish postal service if traded in a country outside the EU.
If I buy Premiere Element for example - will I be cleared on top of that amount at 725 Danish kroner as specified?

This would be a good question for Adobe's Customer Service people.

Cannot find game purchased through the APP Store

I purchased the Azkend game through Game House and was unable to get a code to open it --- Game House told me they were having issues. I then went to the App Store and found it there. I then purchased it through the App Store The app store's Azkend game was downloaded and overrode the Game House trial download. I was able to play the game a few times, but was never able to save it on my desktop. I tried again this morning and now it has disappeared from my App Store purchases.

Hello,
- Did you look into your purchased app list in the Mac App Store ?
Login with same Apple ID you used to purchase that app and you will be able to re-download it from there. Once the the download is finished, the app is automatically installed in your Applications folder.
- You can find how to hide and unhide your purchases on this page :
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
- For your information Azkend HD and Azkend 2: The World Beneath are still available in the Mac App Store.
Hope this will help.

So am I to understand that all of my historical purchases through the iTunes store will now be available to me via the cloud for use on all of my devices...?

I have been reading and re-reading about air play and iTunes in the cloud for some time and I am eagerly awaiting its full functionality. What I am not seeing which does bum me out a little is the aspect of all of my historical purchases from the iTunes store. I have made many music purchases from a computer long ago gone and not to be found. I want to know if all of those purchases will once again be available to me via the cloud. I would venture to say that Apple knows all of my buying history with great detail. I know I am to be held responsible for not making complete back ups of everything I ever bought through them I have lost a chunck of music and video over time. Will these purchases going back many years of iTunes shopping be returned to me via a cloud service...? I know for me, that will make jumping in to any pay for use fee a lot more palatable if I can restore my old purchases like some long lost present now found again behind the couch...

Purchases through the iTunes store

Hi,
I have purchased quite a few songs from the iTunes store. However, the computer that I had earlier, crashed. Now, I would like to get all the songs that I purchased earlier onto my new PC. I don't have backups of the purchased songs. I have been able to authorize my new computer, but need to know how I can get all the songs that I purchased from the iTunes store onto my new PC (or atleast onto iTunes).
Thanks,
M

If you can't get them off your old computer, and you don't have a backup, and don't have the tracks on an iPod, then you'll probably have to purchase them again. The iTunes Store officially doesn't allow re-downloading. You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but don't count on it.
In the future, be sure to make backups of your purchased content. That's valuable property and deserves to be protected.

I was told you you could view your app from your Iphone on the TV using Apple TV, such as the AFL football one i have purchased through the App store.

I was told you could view your app from your Iphone on the TV using Apple TV, such as the AFL football one i have puchased through the App store. Is this true?

Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

MiFi: Does data transfer within the home network count as data usage

I want to use a MiFi with a wireless surveillance system, which can record 100s of GBs of video per month. If I send video to a PC all on the same network, does that count as data usage?

Traffic sent over the local network will not be counted against your MiFi/data plan. VZW charges for all traffic that is sent over thier wireless infrastructure/towers. If this your question is then that is the answer.
With that being said:
You can setup your cameras and disconnect the MiFi from the VZW network. There is a Disconnect button on the main page of the router admin page that allows you to do it. This would enable you to maintain the local network and confirm that the security system will work offline. After you confirm your camera to computer network is working you can reconnect it to VZW and see if you can access the computer / camera over the web.
As a local router the MiFi will perform just fine with your cameras and computers. There are certainly better routers you can purchase for that function but thats another subject. Its when you try to make your devices available over the internet where most people have problems. Since the MiFi is a 4G capabile device it is tied into the new SIM card and NAT network. In most cases public IP addresses are not assigned or accessible on the MiFi. This makes it very difficult to get through to your devices from a remote location (as I assume you want to do). Most users on this forum have not found a way around it other than reverting back to an older model like the MiFi 2200.

Why won't my applications purchased from the itunes store launch on my macbook pro? My software is up to date.

I purchased a few games from the app store recently. I have updated all of the software on my Macbook Pro but the applications will not launch. If the problem was contained within just one application, I could have fixed it, but neither of the applications will launch. I click on them, they turn blue, but that's it. I do not have an iPhone or iTouch with which to test the applications. Could somebody tell me what is wrong with my computer/the applications and how to fix them?!

Hello ah3636,
Apps on the iTunes store are made for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and not the Mac.
By any chance, do you mean the Mac App Store?
Regards,
Tim

How can I get a refund for an application purchased at the App Store?

I purchased an application (Quicken 2015) at the App Store, but it doesn't do what I need. The vendor (Intuit) says it has a 60 day guarantee, but I need to go back to the vendor (the App Store in this case) to get a refund. But I can't find any way to do that.

Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, and contact Apple.

How to rename albums purchased through the itunes store?

Hello, I am having problems renaming albums that I purchased through itunes. I bought the Black Sabbath Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978 and the Rush Complete Mercury years or whatever it is. Anyway, the album titles are all listed as the same, every Black Sabbath album is called "Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978" and the same for the Rush albums.
Every time I go in and manually change the album names, when I close and reopen itunes it decides to rename them all "Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978"
Anyone know if there is some setting in itunes or possibly something in the file properties I can change to keep this from happening? Sifting through my ipod and having 8-10 albums under the same album name is the issue here that I am desperately trying to resolve.
Thanks,
-Patrick

See my response in your other thread Is there a way to keep itunes from re-renaming my box set albums?
