Free songs not free?

I always like to hit the "Free on iTunes" every week. Have found some cool new artists that way. But the last couple of weeks, songs/videos that appear in the "Free on iTunes", when clicked, are NOT free. Last week I ended up paying for a video that was suppose to be "Free". At least, one would assume it is supposed to be free since it appears in the section, "Free on iTunes".
This week, two of the items in the "Free on iTunes" section are not "free". If you click the "View" button to look at the details, the download button shows a charge. One is $0.99; the other $1.29. If they aren't free, why are they even showing up in the "Free on iTunes" section. I don't mind paying for music when I want it. But when I'm offered something for "free" and then charged for it, that seems a bit deceptive.
Anyone else annoyed by this?

It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

HT204266 When is a Free App not Free?

According to Apps Gone Free, 'Pure Meditation-Premium' should be free, but when I go to itunes it is $1.99. Will I be charged if I download it?

Pure Meditation Premium shows as being $1.99 for me as well, so it is not free. It would appear that Apps Gone Free is wrong or out of date.

Contract renewal and first problem VERIZON WIRELESS..." WORRY FREE" IS NOT FREE WATCH

I cannot get anyone to help me ( a good paying customer with two active phones, ) but I will leave VERIZON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, the way I see it they have but one chance to keep my business and that is to honor the " worry free " thing they so boast on.

well now they will not take it back because the box is gone, Ummmm, yeah, that's what the rules are... and they will not send me AT THE LEAST ANOTHER BATTERY FOR MY BOULDER If it's your old phone, then it's on you--I replace batteries and don't expect Verizon to pay...there are lots of accessory vendors on line with awesome prices; just be sure to get an OEM battery. I've had good service, fast delivery, and excellent products buying online.
I cannot get anyone to help me ( a good paying customer with two active phones, ) but I will leave VERIZON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, the way I see it they have but one chance to keep my business and that is to honor the " worry free " thing they so boast on. You have (had) a responsibility as well; there are conditions for returning and exchanging phones via the Worry Free Guarantee, and you don't have the original packaging. You can keep trying, and you may eventually get a sympathetic rep. Good luck.

Is Caller Display free or not free for 12 months?

When BT announced there would be a charge of £1.75 pm for Caller Display, they also stated this service would be free for 12 months if the subscriber renewed their contract for one year. i rang BT and agreed to take up the offer.
I have looked at the past 2 bills and they have the following line entries. Here's the latest bill, word for word:
1. BT Privacy at Home - Caller Display   28 Apr - 27 May 14
This is the cost of your BT Privacy at Home - Caller Display up to 27 May 2014 at £1.75 a month   £1.75
2. BT Privacy with Caller Display free for 12 months 28 Apr - 27 May 14   £0.00
I queried the £1.75 charge shown on line 1. via BT online webchat and here's BT's response, again word for word:
"BT Privacy With Caller Display is free but for BT Privacy at Home you will be charged £1.75"
You will notice that in their reply they have omitted 'Caller Display' after 'at Home' although the bill clearly shows this at line 1. above.
Can somebody please tell me should I be paying £1.75 a month? If this is so then will line 2. revert to a further £1.75 after the 12 month's expiry which will mean £3.50 a month in total'.
I just thought as a simpleton that I was getting Caller Display entirely free for 12 months by signing a new contract. Maybe life is not that simple?

john46: You state "to put it very simply the 1.75 is charged on one line and credited back on the next line".
Well it isn't. Had there had been such a credit on the bill I would not have raised a bill query with BT or this forum.
Below is my total bill where you can see I have no credit shown. It all adds up to £34.50 including the £1.75 Caller Display fee.
I cannot get a reply out of BT or even an acknowledgement to my email querying the charge. What do you suggest I do? Send a specific mail giving them 7 days' notice that I will cancel the Direct Debit and send a cheque less the missing credits, if I don't receive a satisfactory answer?
Your reply and those of the 2 other respondents now confirm that there should be a credit line of £1.75.
Whatever happens you have proven BT owes me £1.75 for each month this has occurred. May I therefore use your name and your answer in a further email to BT? It will be interesting to see if that prompts a response.

Moduslink Vista upgrade is Free or not Free?

I've just bought the A100-906 notebook with Windows XP Home. As I understand I can upgrade it to Windows Vista. And, as I understand, for free.
But then I visit Microsoft Upgrade site I've seen an item price 95,47USD without shipping and handling for Vindows Vista Home Premium.
Am I have to pay it or I just have to make an Order, send it to [email protected] and Toshiba will pay it?
In sort, I mean is this upgrade is free or Toshiba just gives a discount?

Hej,
you are in the same situation like I was.
1.: Updates are only free from XP PRO to Vista Business or from XP MCE to Vista Home Premium.
2.: Updates from XP Home cost. Even from XP Home to Vista Home Basic you have to pay a lot.
I ordered like you want to do Vista Home Premium for 98,xx . Right now I am glad that I could cancel this order. I really advice you not to order via Moduslink. The company was just founded for the upgrade. You can hardly reach them via email. The only thing that works is letter or fax.
And in the end: You just get an upgrade! So I kindly advice you not to order there. Instead of this, order in your favourite online shop a Windows Vista Home Premium SystemBuilder / OEM product. I ordered as well for 99,- so it is not even one Euro more then the upgrade. You get a full version and I had it in one day. On ModusLink I waited for over 6 weeks and nothing happenend.

Broadband + Anytime: free or not free for three mo...

I recently tried to upgrade online to BTs 'Broadband + Anytime', currently £16 per month (+ rental) and free for the first three months.
When I get to the online 'Order Summary' page, it lists an item described as 'Phone' at a cost of £3 per month (in the first three months), but it doesn't say what this is for.
Chatting online to an advisor revealed that this only happens if you already have an 'add-on' on your existing BT account for the line you want to upgrade to the new package. Yet, I have no 'add-ons' on that account and nobody at BT can tell me why the first three months isn't actually free, but will cost me £3 per month if I continue to sign up online!
Does anybody here have any ideas what the £3 / month might be for??

Free but Not free apps

Hello. I have a problem. I want to download some so called "free applications" but in fact when I want to download them into my Iphone I am directed to verify my account to make the payment. Althought all the applications I want to download are in the Free Section, they are payable. Do you know why? Am I a victim of a virus?

Apple need to verify your account even though the apps are free.
iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds

Can't purchase ANY applications, free or not free

Have 3G 16GB iphone and have registered apple ID but every time i try to purchase an application, i get: "Authorization failed. Please connect to iTunes"
I live in Cairo, Egypt; does my location matter?

I do not believe the app store is available in Egypt yet.

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

Free Phone was not Free and no Customer Service

Why was I Charge a $30.00 upgrade fee when I received my new Commando 4G LTE phone. The ad said it was free? $30.00 ain't free! I saw nothing in the add that said I was going to pay an extra $30.00. I did buy an accessory package for $49.99, but my bill came to $79.99 plus tax, I believe this is false advertising. When I called the number "For questions on your billing", I was on hold for 30 minutes and hung up, as I got tired of waiting.

Paying $30.00 for a free phone IS NOT FREE! I don't care what you call it, it ain't free!
I've been with Verizon since they took over this area's Alltel customers and have never been charged for a new phone. You're not going to build a very loyal base when you keep adding fees and raising cost , you can bet I'll be looking at other cell phone services in the future. I just had my WiFi go from $10.00 to $15.00 a GB and now this. I guess keeping your old customers isn't important anymore.

It might not be a good idea to use your verizon.net email address as your primary.....

Team,
There is a problem using verizon email as your primary email. If your account is suspended, all email addressed to you is rejected by the verizon servers. This, as a service, is unacceptable. I suggest not using your verizon email as your primary email source since there is a chance that Verizon suspends your account and no email gets to you. I guess sometimes free accounts like gmail, hotmail, and others provide more of a service than those taking your money.
What do you think?
Here is my exchange with a verizon tech support person in a online chat. I will let you know if the emails are retrieved as the tech support person suggests. What do you think?
Chat Subject: FiOS Internet (E-Mail)
Your Question: Team, I opened an issue on 2 September and to date I have not received a reply. The issue number is {edited for privacy}. Until this issue is resolved I cannot receive any email and all emails sent to me are rejected by your servers. This is unsatifactory and I wish it to be resolved asap. thanks.

ben breeland(18:26:58): By the way, did you know that when an account is suspended, all new email is rejected by your servers?

Kavita(18:28:08): Yes I do see that your account is suspended.

You don't go into the details as to why the account was suspended ... that background might be helpful since you're asking others for their opinion. In general it sounds like the account was "deleted" at which point all mail is bounced because the address no longer exists -- but Verizon holds the name in reserve for some period of time to prevent someone from re-registering it in case an error was made and for some level of security, I suppose.
Anyhow ... on your commentary about not using an @verizon.net address as your primary address ... I think you will have this with many providers. Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail all do this if you terminate the account (they do have a suspended account due to inactivity feature which operates differently, but pretty much do the same thing for deletions and such. I don't use the @verizon.net account as my primary for a different reason however -- my primary address is provider agnostic. I can move providers (although I'm quite happy with FiOS at the moment) -or- if at some point down the road I have to move out of Verizon territory, my email address will not need to change. I used this little fact to my advantage when I moved from Comcast to Verizon a few years ago -- no one knew I changed providers because my email address didn't change. Now .. I don't use one of the free services for email, I own my own domain name (about $10/year from the likes of GoDaddy) and have my domain hosted on the Google Apps tier (but even without that, GoDaddy will do basic forwarding for you of any email address to whatever mail account you're presently using). Something to think about.
