Hidden charges for free aps

Just downloaded IMDB free aplication from iOS App Store, and a 2nd time from itunes.
I was asked for credit card information. Don't know why, IMDB app it's free.
Next i consulted my Internet Banking report - seems i was charged 2,49$ each.
the past 6 month i kept downloading free apps and some times i get charged for no reason. WHY?!?!?!?

How much are you being charged? If it is a small amount or several small amounts (one for each free app) see the link here....

Why must I provide payment details for FREE aps?

Why must I provide payment details for Free Aps?

To prove you are in the country whose app store you are trying
to use. Not all apps are available in all countries, and some
countries have no AppStore. Also some apps have in-app
purchases and information is necessary to make those purchases.
Purchase an iTunes card and redeem it in your account -
that will allow you to download free apps without credit
info. Check to see if available in your country.

I keep getting charged for free games

I am always trying to get charged for free games??

Are you asking this because your Apple ID password is requested before downloading the free game?
Downloading any app requires the password. Also required is a payment method filed with Apple. For free apps, games included, you will not be charged.

HT3702 Itunes charged for free app download (Update).

Itunes charged for free app download (Update). No clue why this happened. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

If you mean the temporary store holding charge, as described on the page that you posted from, then that is only temporary, it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
That 'charge' is made each time that you change your card details to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account.
If you mean a 'proper' charge, and it appears on your purchase history and on your credit card, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

So on the one that you changed go into iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, login to your changed account and click on your purchase history.
If it does not show a purchase history, notify the people at the iTunes Store:

Does Apple replace your charger for free

I've had a couple of chargers since I got my iPhone 5 a year ago. I've always bought a new charger, but lately someone brought to my attention that Apple can replace your charger for free.. I'm just wondering if that's true.

If the iPhone has been covered by an extended warranty beyond the one year so that it is still covered and the charger is not damage but has a problem with materials or workmanship then yes Apple will cover it.

Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store?

In case we need to create free issues or even apps for iPad (from a non-profit organization), what will the incurred costs be through the whole process?
i.e. From the time of development of issues and the app in which the issues may work - is there any registration or license fees involved, till it reaches all customers - provided the package is for free?
Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store for iOS apps for iPad?

You must pay the USD$99 fee to join the Individual Developer Program.
After that, there is no fee to put free apps into the iOS App Store.

I am being charged for FREE CONTENT on APP STORES

Hi ,
I just got my new ipad 2.
however i am being charged for free content..

kindly revert ..

You are not talking to Apple here, these are user-to-user forums, and are not monitored by Apple. If you have just added the credit card to your iTunes account then you are likely to be just seeing a small holding charge (in the US it would $1) which is temporarily 'charged' to the card to check that it's valid and active - in which case it will disappear in a day or two.
If the charge is larger, and you are not buying paid-for apps (or using in-app purchases and you've checked your purchase history on your account in iTunes on your computer) then try the iTunes Store Account And Billing section on this page http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/

HT201303 Why do I have to put payment verification in for free aps?

Why do I have to put payment verification in for free aps?

You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

Why do I have to pay for free aps?

Why do I have to pay for free ads. I look in my bank

For the itouch why charge me for the free aps. It's not like I
Don't buy things from the ap store. No I don't not download
Pro -aps.

The price of an app, and how it is marketed, is controlled by that app's developer. They certainly may advertise that an app is free, but the App Store price is the only price. If the App Store says the app is free (ie, the download button says "Free" instead of listing a price), then it's free.
If you are seeing a bill in your bank statement for a free app, that is probably coming from some kind of in-app purchase. Many apps have additional features or special game items that can be purchased within the app. A free app may still have such in-app purchases.
It's important to note that in-app purchasing should be a very transparent process. It should be made clear that you are making a purchase, and you should have to enter your Apple ID password. If you have found an app that does not make this process transparent, and hides the fact that a purchase with real money is being made, that needs to be reported to Apple as a violation of the App Store rules. If Apple agrees with you, they will remove the app from the store until the developer submits a more compliant update.

$1 charged For Free 3 Month Trail SignUp

Hi
Today i signed Up for free trail of windows azure for 3 month. As mentioned everywhere it was free but $1 has been credited from my credit card. I want to know was it any hidden fee or there is anything else there. I am new for free trail so please help
me.
Is there anything else that i should know about free trail or that can cost me more money something?
Thanks
Yashpal

As Ira Bell Said, it's card processing/verification fee.
I remember signing up for AWS (Amazon web services) once..And i had seen 1$ for card processing there too.
And with free trial you have the option of setting the spending limit. you can do that for your account and you will not be charged if you set it properly. Here's the link for more info:

Got charged for free shipping

I took advantage of the Elite/Elite Plus early Black Friday sale and purchased quite a few items. However, after reviewing my order, I noticed a $5 charge for shipping. Next to each item it says "Shipping: $0.00" but somehow that $5 got there on the end. I checked each item as well, and each qualifies for free shipping if the order is over $35 (I bought a tv among other things, so it definitely is! )
I can provide the order number if necessary to any mods here. I don't really mind how I receive the credit--gift card, My Best Buy Points, etc. The only thing I am concerned about is possibly messing up my order if anything is done to it. I have 7 gift cards, 1 large MyBB certificate, and Gamer's Club Unlocked all properly attached.
Thank you for any assistance. Just message me if you need my order number.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello NeoQuintessence,
I'm sorry to hear that there was an additional seemingly unexplained charge on your recent BestBuy.com purchase.
In reviewing your order, I note that the charge you were assessed is a California Electronic Waste Recycling Fee that must be added -- in accordance with California state law -- to the purchase of video display products such as computer monitors and TVs sold in California. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund for this fee.
I hope this helps. Thank you for writing to us with your concern!
Sincerely,

Will Apple replace my charger for free?

Got my macbook in august of last year. The charger just recently stopped working about three days ago (I haven't done anything to it. The part that actually plugs into the computer is fine, I believe theres something wrong with the wiring inside of it.) Will they replace it for free, or will I have to end up buying a new one?

Did you purchase AppleCare prior to your standard warranty running out?
Why not call AC & ask them if they will replace your Magsafe for free and/or take your MBP & the Magsafe to the AS or an AASP?
Last resort would be to call Apple Customer Relations. See what they can do for you.

Hey does apple charges for free applications mentioned in Itune??

Yesterday i bought a Apple IPAD2. i have connected my IPAD2 to itunes at that my there was no applications in it. I have installed some free applications listed in the Itunes. i m curious about, does the apple charge for the free applications as well ??

If it says free, there's no charge, but, Apple may place a $1 authorization hold to verify your account then credit the account within 24 to 48 hours.
iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds
The apps that are on the iPad when you buy it are pre installed by Apple and cannot be deleted.
For purchased iTunes media, you can re download without being charged again.
