How do you get a refund for an app that was purchased through the new App Catalog for a WebOS app!

Hi,
I just purchased a Dictionary app from Palm's App Catalog, the product is listed as: English Dictionary and Thesarus by Ultralingua, Inc. and it was not something that was advertised correctly and hence is not something that I want.
It costs a whopping $9.99 and if it was as advertised, it would have been worth the money but it is not.
I've had Dictionaries on my Palm Devices so when I saw the first directory for the WebOs for use on Pre, I immediately got it.
However, unlike my old Palm dictionaries, this dictionary requires you to have a network connection. Something that is not useful for me. I sometimes like to look up word while on the subway to work (I live in NYC) where this is no network connection.
There was nothing in the description that said it 'required' a network connection, and considering that all of the dictionaries I have gotten in the past did not require a network connection, I assumed (since it didn't state anything) that I could use it off-line.
Heck, since you are required to use this dictionary online, I might as well use google to lookup a word and that is free!
So I believe I was tricked into getting this app, and I want a refund!
And there doesn't seem to be a way to get a refund for an app that did not disclose it's requirements before I made my purchase.
Thanks for you help in finding out how to get a refund when its needed!

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Palm does have the ability to remove apps remotely, that was added in the last update.
I knew that would be Palm's response, but I earn you now, Palm better make sure they put a better description on these apps. And in this case its Palm's fault for not disclosing that this app required network support in order to work.
They should at least make that part of a feature description.
This is the second app that I purchased that was not advertised correctly. So I far I have spent good money on crap only because the descriptions did not contain the right info.
I see the only solution is to make all apps have at least a one hour free trail, or whatever free trial you want.
I and I'm sure I'm not alone can't keep purchasing stuff that either doesn't work as advertised or is misleading in the description.
I mean really Palm, you approved a dictionary app that just does a google in the background and displays the definition.
I can do that same thing by typing it on my Pre and hitting Google?
I still feel cheated and ripped off.
I signed up for Palm and WebOS because I wanted to give you a second chance but that love only goes so far. I think Andriod will be in my life soon. I can't stand by and let myself be taken advantage of.
I just can't believe how angry and upset I AM over this.

How do you get Itunes to sync an album that exists only on the iPad?

Easy enough to sync iTunes albums to the iPad, but how about albums that currently exist only on the iPad? How do you get iTunes to import photo albums it doesn't currently know about? For example I have an app that saves it's files to an album called 'Saved'. I want iTunes to make a local computer copy during 'sync'. I was transferring files from the iPad to the computer via WiFi, but at least on my iPad, WiFi is extremely unreliable, often dropping the connection during data transfers. I finally gave up and decided to do this via USB until Apple gets their act together.

If you are transferring photos from iPhoto on your Mac, you mean the iPhoto albums that are available to select under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences? if so, this is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPad.
iTunes does not handle the import of photos from your iPad, which can include photos imported from a digital camera or from a digital camera's storage card with the Camera Connection Kit, or a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or by a 3rd party app that is capable of saving a photo in the same location.
It sounds like the app developer has allowed for transferring photos saved by the app in the app's "Saved" area to your computer via an available wi-fi network that both your computer and iPad are connected to. Unless the app developer allows for saving the photos from the app's "Saved" area to the same location where a photo saved from a received email or from a website is stored, there is no way to import these photos via iPhoto or the Image Capture application on your Mac, which is used for importing photos, not iTunes.

HT201269 How do you get photos back from an iphone that was never backed up?

help!!! is there any way to get pictures restored from a phone that was never backed up to the icloud?

If you never backed up the photos anywhere, and they are no longer on the iPhone.... then they are gone.
Next time, back up your photos more regularly. Use PhotoStream. It's free.

If you have 2 apple ids, how do you sign out of one and into the other so you can update the app that was purchased in the other account. thanks

If you purchased an app in one account and work mostly in another, how do you switch the purchased app account to update it?
thanks

You need to sign out and back in only if you're on your Mac and you want to update the iTunes data. You'll see a notice saying that there are five (or so) updates but when you go to download them, they're not all present. So you download them, sign out from one ID and sign back in with the other ID. Then you can download the remaining ones.
If you're downloading directly to the iPad, everything is transparent. It does not matter what ID is configured in Settings. The iPad automatically chooses the correct ID or IDs when updates are available.

My house has 3 iPhones all on the same apple Id and icloud account. I created another apple I'd to use just for myself and did an icloud backup. Does this backup store the music that was purchased through the apple id I use for the store?

So will icloud backup the music and apps I currently have then when I restore from backup put these songs and apps back on my phone?

Nope. Your iCloud account has nothing to do with your ability to redownload previously purchased music. It's tied to your Apple ID. The only restriction is that once you download a previously purchase, enable iTunes Match on your device, or turn on Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, your device is then "associated" with the ID that you are using. Once associated in this way, you cannot associate it with a different ID for 90 days. This means, for example, that you can't download previously purchased music from one ID and then immediately change IDs and download music purchased with a different ID...you have to wait 90 days before you can change.
Also, as mentioned ealier, it doesn't matter if the music is on your phone, it isn't included in the backup. You should be storing your purchased music and other media in your iTunes library; then you can sync it back whenever you want. To transfer purchaed media to your iTuines library, connect your device to iTunes, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

HT204266 How can i use my account to update an App that was purchased by another account??

How can i cancel an account from my ipad store??
Accordingly, how could i update my apps using my new account??
For more clarification;
I purchased my friend ipad with some applications that already downloaded before. I could use those apps & games easily but when i need to update any, i couldn't because i have to have an App account.
I created a new app account, now i can purchase & download any app but i can't update an old App that was purchased through my friend account.
Please take into your concederation that i don't want to delete the App & redownload it as i don't want to miss my data registed before.
Please advice

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't transfer purchases from one account to the other. Your friend had no right selling you the iPod with purchases on it made from his account.

How do I get a refund on Export PDF that has ALREADY been agreed

On 1/21-1/22 I tried to 'renew' a subscription for Export PDF. By some error (maybe mine - I just dont understand the whole thing) my Bank was immediately charged for two subscriptions, each at a different price. I immediately "chat"ted with several reps (it was difficult to get onto the chat and find out how to cancel) and was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded. They weren't!
I waited a week. Was again frustrated by the chat hookup, and tried the 'cloud' retail product tel #, assuming it was wrong but that I could be switched to the correct one. Had a very pleasant chat, was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded, received 2 e-mails confirming the cancellations, each with a seperate "Case #". Felt pretty good! It had only taken me a week of reasonably diligent effort to get a very simple thing done! IT WASN"T DONE! (Yes, I apologize - I know I'm loud - but by now I've got steam coming out of my ears!)
Today I got an e-mail, telling me that the refund had been processed and the case # would be closed. I looked at my bank, and only one had been refunded! I reviewed all the other e-mails and the notes from the telephone calls and chats to be sure I hadn't misunderstood something. But, no I hadn't. I went to my Adobe on-line and looked up 'my orders' history. Sure enough one had been invoiced and refunded ( the lesser charge of the two) but the other had ONLY BEEN INVOICED - NOT CANCELLED. And it seems that every piece of this transaction generates a new "order" , "case" or some other "reference #" - none of which are tied together, except by the invoice amount, when it is mentioned - which it typically IS NOT.
My question, then, is : How can I get past this absolute frustration over every aspect of my interaction with Adobe and GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF?????????

Hi Stacy,
    What frustration? (Just kidding !)
    As I mentioned, one of the two charges has been refunded. Credited by
Adobe on Jan 28, I believe I received it in my bank on Jan 30.
    The other charge, $25.37 of order # AD011017507, has not been received
by my bank yet. But this can't be that much of a surprise, and has nothing
to do with "10 business days" for refunds to post.
    To this minute, "My Orders" on Adobe website shows that the order #
AD011017507 was invoiced on January 22, but that no credit invoice has been
posted against this order to this moment!
    Can you begin to understand the frustration of being unable, through
all attempts to untangle this mess, starting within one hour of the original
order, with I believe nine different "Chats", telephone calls and, finally
a "problem" posting, stretching over more than thirteen days. Of course
it doesn't make much sense to devote this much attention to less than $50
worth of stuff, but I do not let things like this dangle.
    And can you imagine how loathe I am to deal with Adobe for fear of
some real problem?
    At any rate, I would certainly be pleased if you can suggest a way for
me to extricate myself from this. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks for your time and any trouble,
    Stephen Ellis

How do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store?

how do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store now that the app store has discontinued selling the product?
Thanks
-Ethan

Purchases from the App Store do not include serial numbers. The App Store itself provides the licensing for the product. You will have to contact Apple to have them help you reinstall Lightroom through the App store (just because it is no longer for sale does not mean that you will not be able to download your past purchases).

I am trying to buy help on my candy crush game but I keep getting this pop-up? Unable to Purchase. This item for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID. To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the app. My daughter set up this game on my Iphone. I am on level 65 and don't wont to start over if I don't have to.
Any suggestions?

If it was indeed purchased with a different apple ID then there is no work around for what you want! You can try signing in with your daughter's apple ID and password and update the app and purchase whatever you want then log back in with your apple ID. This may work!

On your phone (from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311):
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

HT1420 When trying to buy gems (I have $50 credit) in "Clash of Clans" game I get: "Unable to Purchase. This item is for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID. To buy this item with this Apple ID first purchase the app? Which app?

When trying to buy gems on the "Clash of Clans" game I get the following:
"Unable to Purchase. This item is for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID. To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the App."
I redeemed the itunes voucher on the same Apple ID I want to buy the gems with?
What do I do from here.

You will only be able to buy items in an app if you are signed into and use the same account that you originally bought that app with - is that the account that you are signed into ?
