HT204266 App store is Charging for free apps downloading? How do I stop this and get my money back?

I have a new iPhone 4s and downloaded some free apps formt eh app store.  A few days later my phone had updates to install on the apps but kept taking me to the billing details on my phone.  I deleted the apps as it was doing my head in.  I recently downloaded the 'free' apps again and I have been charged for them!!!  How do I stop this from happening and get my money back as I have been clearly ripped off!

Children should not have access to your iTunes account password.
You should also consider removing credit card information from your account so no unconsidered purchases can be made by anybody.  iTunes Store: Changing Account Information - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
    And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

    Hi Frantic503,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.

    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • I downloaded a bogus app that was a scam. How do I report it and get my money back?

    I download Microsoft® Office Word 2010 - Mastering in 24h™, v1.1 (4+) from the seller Thi Nguyen on my iPad and it was bogus. It was a page with crazy numbers and letters on it. How do I get my money back?

    If you believe e that you are justified in asking for a refund, contact iTunes Store Support.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • I need to switch my Apple ID for my app store so  I can update things. How can I do this?

    I need to switch my Apple ID for my app store so  I can update things. How can I do this?

    Are you using the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store? They are not the same. However, the process is similar. Log out of the Apple ID you are now using and log in with the Apple ID you wish to use. You cannot upgrade/update apps purchased under one Apple ID when using another. All purchases are tied permanently to the Apple ID used to purchase them.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
