Free downloads of the week not free???

Hi,
When I click the Buy Now for the Free Downloads of the Week, the song price shows it to be free.
But, when I go to my shopping cart, the price for the Free Songs shows up as $.99. When I click the Buy Now button, I get a message saying that the price of some items has changed and to check my purchase.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is there a setting I can change?
I am running v 7.5.
Thank you!

yes. I too have exactly the same issue.
And is it not funny that there is really no easy way to find out an answer?
Apple Support and iTunes please help!
FREE is NOT FREE and is makes me not want to check the new music out if I feel I am going to have to actually pay for something that is FREE...it makes you feel ripped off...
And in truth...this SONG is just up as the SONG of the WEEK!
So it can'tbe TOO LATE....I have tried it over and over rebooting iTunes...
could it be that I just downloaded a sorry HIPHOP tune yesterday?
is it TUNE of the WEEK for a REASON? it knows if and when you last downloaded a song so it charges you .99 cents if it is less than 7days?
come on! that is a sly way to sell FREE songs? isn't it?
I must be joking myself...
What is going on APPLE?
thanks

  • Itunes canada - free download of the week

    not sure what's going on, clicked on my profile logged in and the free download of the week ended up being $1.00. someone should check into this - i'm sure it's an error - matt mays - single - "wasn't meant to be"

    It happens from time to time. Usually if you wait until later in the week, it gets fixed, as it has as of today (the 18th).
    BTW, we're all just your fellow users here. The way to report an issue to the iTunes Store is through form on the web pages on their customer service site.
    Cheers.

  • How to be the Free download of the week.

    Hi Guys,
    I'm struggling to find a suitable place to post this question so I do apologise if this is the wrong place.
    I'm trying to find out how to become the 'Free download of the week'. Does anyone know who I can contact?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you're signed up directly with the iTunes Store and not working through a label, contact the iTunes Store through your login, or perhaps send an email to [email protected]
    If you work through a label, have your label rep contact the iTunes Store and ask.
    Good luck.

  • ITunes single of the week not free?

    I tried to get the single of the week from the iTunes Store, "Can't Say No" by Conor Maynard. The problem is that when I open the page to download the song, it says that the song costs $1.29.
    Screenshots:
    Note: I use the Brazilian iTunes Store.

    They don't have a section for free tracks as of today, so if the Canadian iTunes Store did at one time, then apparently they've ceased to offer them at least temporarily. It may be that they just couldn't negotiate anything with a record label for this week and with luck there will be a new free track in the future. We have no way of knowing. though.

    The message is a catch-all for any sort of anomaly with your payment information.
    Log in to your account in iTunes. Make sure your name and address match exactly including ZIP code and punctuation. Verify it against a bank statement.
    You must obviously be using a valid credit (not debit) card.

  • Single of the week NOT a free download?

    Panic-Oh! 2:32 Los Abandoned Panic Oh - Single of the Week $0.99
    It's listed as a free download, but it's not.

    Today the song is free! I had never seen this problem before, I guess mostly because this is the first time in ages that the New Music Tuesday email actually arrived on a Tuesday -- they're usually late, sometimes not arriving at my Inbox until Thursday or Friday... Anyway, problem solved.

  • Can I set up automatic download of the iTunes free single of the week?

    Hello! I was just curious how to set up automatic download from iTunes for the free single of the week. Any help would be appreciated!

    You cannot.

  • Can't download the free single of the week

    For the last month or so I haven't been able to download the free single of the week. When I click the link, it just comes up as a 'dead link page'. Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, how can I get the free downloads I've now missed?
    Thanks

    I do know what you mean. I don't unfortunately, know what the cause of this is.
    Perhaps someone else may chip in with some advice.

  • What happened to the free Single of the Week download?!

    I logged into the iTunes Store, clicked on the "Free on iTunes" section, and was shocked that the free Single of the Week is no longer there! It's bad enough that they got rid of the Discovery Download, Spanish Discovery Download, and Video of the Week, but now the Single of the Week is gone too? What?!

    Yes, I noticed the same thing.  I've been downloading the free single of the week for many years now and have discovered a lot of good music that I otherwise would never have been exposed to.  I hope it's just an oversight . . .

  • Why is there not a free book of the week this week?

    The past two weeks that I have observed there has been a free book of the week choice with a yellow banner on the bottom but it doesn't appear this week. Any reason as to why that is?

    Nobody in these forums has any info on why Apple does such things, but  you can give them your views on it via

  • Where is "Free Single of the Week" on iTunes 12?

    I do not see Free Single of the Week on iTunes since I "upgraded" to version 12 on my PC. Where did it go?

    The problem persists with the updated SotW.
    I was able to workaround the problem downloading the songs from an iPad with iOS 6.1.3 and another Mac with Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.6.3.
    The problem also persists using the guest account of my Mac. So the problem may be related to something specific of the Mac.

  • Free iTunes of the week

    I've just learned about this feature - don't know how I missed it - but in searching for information it appears that it is not available outside the US of A. Is this true? And what is the reasoning behind it? If not, how do I sign up?

    Free "Single of the Week" is also a feature available from the UK iTunes Store. Even though there is no charge you have to create an iTunes Store account to be able to download the free single (in the same way that you have to have an account to download free album artwork). The link to free single is displayed on the main page of the UK store, I presume this is the same for other stores offering the facility. You check the store each week and if you want the single you click on the link and download it just as you would with a purchased song. You also receive a store receipt just as you would for a purchased one though in this case it's for the zero value.

  • Smart Playlist JUST for 'Free Songs of the Week?'

    I would like to create a Smart playlist comprising exclusively the 'Free Songs of the Week' from the iTunes Store. So when I get the weekly 'Free Song,' it goes right into that list. But I need some sort of 'unique identifier' that allows this to happen, and I can't seem to find one. I go under all the 'View Options' and nothing seems to 'tag' these songs as unique, so I can't set up a Smart Playlist that includes just those songs.
    Is there a way to do this?

    The iTunes Store doesn't tag the free tracks any differently from any other track that I can see, so I can think of no automatic way to put just the free tracks into a playlist. You could, though, put "free" or something similar in the Comments section when you download one of the free items, and then have a Smart Playlist that looked for "free" in the Comments. That's the only way I can think of to accomplish what you want. That wouldn't be any easier than just dragging the free tracks to a normal playlist, but would allow you to have future Smart Playlists that process the free tracks.
    Hope this helps.

  • Should Apple remove FaceTime as a preloaded app on their iOS 6 and offer it as a FREE download on the app store to prevent AT&T from forcing its customers to change data plans?

    So AT&T states they are legally allowed to restrict the use of FaceTime over cellular data solely based on the fact that the FaceTime feature is a preloaded app on the device not a downloaded one. I say we request that Apple remove it as a preloaded App and offer it as a Free download on the App store to accommodate it's customers from having to deal with greedy corporations that implement unfair and unlawful rules on their devices.

    So what is your technical support question for other users in this technical support forum?
