How do I get a refund from the app store?

I bought GarageBand from the app store and have tried loading it on my two mac computers one at home one at work. The home one will not download it at all - it keeps getting so far and then (helpfully) saying 'an error has occurred'. At work, it download the application but now it's saying it needs to download 1.6GB of extra data. This will not work. It keeps getting about half way and then failing (I've have tried maybe 10 times)
I'm not interested in trying any more - I don't have time and I'm disillusioned with the store. How do I simply get a refund (seeing as it doesn't work)?

  • How can I get a refund from the app store?

    Hi,
    I bought an game from the app store for 4.99. The description was written to be completely misleading and misrepresentative of the product (BADASS DUCATI: Street Monster).
    I notice the same developer has a number of apps. on the store following the same format. Also there are more under a different developer name.
    I emailed apple for a refund. No response (disappointing). I emailed the developer. No response (no surprise). Surely apple must have some responsibility to ensure that apps are correctly represented in their store and, by taking a commission on the transaction, should take some ownership of the contract of sale?
    Any suggestions how to get a refund? how to report these bogus apps so that apple can clean the shelves of rogue developers?
    Regardless of the success of a refund,  to see the apps get pulled and the developer banned would at least demonstrate that apple care about their consumers and are not supporting the app store as a platform for conmen.

    There are no refunds.  Sorry.

  • How do i get a refund from the apple store?

    how do i get a refund from the apple store. I hate the Final Cut Pro. I tried to contact costumer service and all it does is send me in circles

    You need to let go of everything you ever knew about using editing software and look at few tutorials. After years of using Final Cut Express, I looked at FCPX and didn't understand it at all, but a few months later I finally decided to give it a second try knowing that it is an entirely different animal, and that I would have to start from scratch. I bought it, read a few tutorials, explored the menus, panes, functions, read this forum extensively, then tackled my first project. It took some diligence and patience, but I got it and I will never look back. My experience is that FCPX is far better than the previous Final Cut.

  • Getting a refund from the App store...

    I need to compliment Apple on something.
    I had problems with an application that I downloaded from the App store that was iWeb related. Couldn't get it to work, and when I followed the developers instructions, it still wouldn't work in Lion. It was brand new and I think they were still working on it.
    I then, played around with the instructions and the domainsites file, as I thought I was expert enough not to screw things up.
    Well, as I reconstruct my site, muttering to myself that I really should pay attention to that inner voice that warns me off tinkering with the inner workings of software, at least I don't have to worry about getting my money back.
    Apple, quite reasonably, has refunded me and has contacted the developers regarding the problem.
    The lesson to me was that if I ever again download anything that will change a domainsites file, I must, must make a copy, and put that copy in a folder far away from the original.
    Having downloaded iWeb templates before without a problem, I figured it wouldn't be a problem this time.
    Always, before downloaded a new template or whatever, make a current copy of your domainsites file and hide it away. That is my new rule for myself.

    So true...if one can't afford to lose it one has to learn to back up one's system.
    My problem is that I have only a couple of things on my iMac that are really critical, and I just copy them to an external HD, and trust to the fates for the rest.
    But I forgot to do that for the domainsites file.
    For the record, you are totally right...if one uses Time Machine for backup to a firewire drive, one can relax, mostly.

  • How do I request a refund from the App Store?

    I've recently downloaded the Sky Sports TV app from the App Store. It asked me to subscribe for £4.99 so I did. Then after trying to use the app, I was told that I need to subscribe... I tried subscribing a few times, and finally got the app working, but after checking with my bank this morning, several payments of 9.98 have been made. Not only is this the wrong price, but surely I should only be allowed to subscribe once?
    I need a full refund for every payment made APART FROM the one payment of 4.99 for my subscription.

  • How can I get a refund at the App Store when it isn't offered ?

    Perhaps the Apple attack dogs will like this post better.
    How do I get a refund for a costly app that, after requesting a refund, appears to not offer one? How does one know if an app meets one's needs unless you try it first?
    This seems so obvious, and yet, I am shocked that Apple does not offer a trial or refund opportunity if even for 24-48 hours.
    Is there another way to get a refund that I'm not aware of?

    I repeat, the Apple policy is that all sales are final and after an app has been bought and downloaded, there are no refunds. Period.
    The ONLY exception to the No Refund policy is if something freaky happens and you buy an app and between your purchase and attempt to download the app it is removed from the iTunes/MAS and is no longer available.
    PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUND POLICY
    You agree that you will pay for all products you purchase through the Services, and that Apple may charge your payment method for any products purchased and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your Account. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND FOR PROVIDING APPLE WITH A VALID PAYMENT METHOD FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. For details of how purchases are billed please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582.
    Your total price will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you download the product. We will charge tax only in states where digital goods are taxable.
    All sales and rentals of products are final.
    Prices for products offered via the Services may change at any time, and the Services do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering.
    If a product becomes unavailable following a transaction but prior to download, your sole remedy is a refund. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of your product, your exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement or refund of the price paid, as determined by Apple.
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html
    If you have found a developer whose product you have purchased through the iTunes/MAS who will personally give you a refund, more power to you. That is beyond the scope of Apple's policy and between you and the developer only.
    It's time to stop beating a dead horse and move along.

  • How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

    How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

  • In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store

    In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store. It would appear that I can only get Genius recommendations from my own library. This was easy in iTunes 10 and enabled me to find lots of good artists I had never heard of.

    I have this same question and all I have found on it is this,
    http://ipod.about.com/od/advanceditunesuse/ss/genius_store.htm
    Basically it seams they got rid of the whole side bar concept of things to make it all more streamline, understandable but I know atleast for myself that genius sugestion for any song is how I found new artists and songs I never knew existed.
    If you go to the Album the go to "In the Store" it will give you a recomendation for that album... not exaclty what you might be looking for but atleast its something, if anyone else has a way to get genius sugestions for individual songs I am all ears and would love to hear about it.

  • TS1702 how do i delete from the startup disk? I am trying to get Mountain Lion from the App store and it says that the purchase was not complete because i need 4.06 GB space to download OS x 10.8. and to remove items from my startup disk to increase space

    Thanks

    You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

    How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
    I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
    So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

    Hi Andy ..
    no longer have or use
    If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
    For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.
