HT4009 How can I get a refund for my in-app accidental purchase?

I bought my 72-year-old Mother a new iPad 2 and she is loving it. I set up the account for her to purchase new games through the app store if she wanted, but she was not aware that the in-app purchases were real-life purchases, she thought it was fake money inside the game (now she knows). Is it possible to get a refund for this? I tried to do it through the 'report a problem' but it said it was not refundable and $99.99 is a very big mistake to make on her first day with the iPad.
Any help would be appreciated. 

You will need to contact iTunes Store Support.
You may want to consider turning off In-App purchases in the Restrictions:
Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > Create a passcode > verify passcode > Turn off In-App Purchases.

  • HT4009 How can I get a refund for an In-App purchase, that I made by mistake, and I didn't use it?

    My son did purchase some token, In-App (almost $130), and I have to mention that is too easy for a 5 years old boy to buy In-App, after you Download a New App (SKYLANDERS CLOUD PATROL, v1.6.0);  for him, because the Account will remain open for couple of minutes.
    I know he used $10 of it, or so?!?!
    BUT, I want to know how can get the rest of it, back?
    I didn't let him play anymore after I've got that he bought lots of token, Or extra points.

    How can I get a refund for an unwanted app that I just purchased?

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a refund. Consider whether or not you want to do this now carefully first; if they grant one, you'll need a very good reason to get another from them.

  • How can I get a refund for an in app purchase I did not want?

    How can I get a refund for an in app purchase I did not want?
    The app took over $35 from my account and there is no way this was authorized.  Please advise on how I can recover these funds.

    They did the same thing to me on 12/24/11. Apple overcharged me 3 times my purchase amount and have caused my bank account to be overdrawn!
    I called my bank to make a statement of unauthorized charges AND filed a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Apple provided no way to contact a live rep and the email reps have been useless...so they left me no other option.
    I think they do this to their customers very often. It is extremely dishonest.
    I actually posted the above info on this discussion community earlier today...and Apple deleted it! If that isn't an admission of guilt, I don't know what is.
    But seriously...best of luck.

  • HT4009 How to I get a refund for an in app purchase

    I had an in app purchase made by a young family member that was just pressing buttons. How do I get a refund as this is not wanted and has cost me £5.50!!

    All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and explain what happened and see if they will refund or credit you : 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
    To try and stop it happening again you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off', and depending upon what version of iOS that you have on your iPad you might also be able to set 'Require Password' to 'Immediately' on the Restrictions screen (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need re-entering).

  • How can I get a refund for unwanted app?

    My kids downloaded an extension of an app, made for kids, that cost $100. They thought it was free, until I got the bill. How can I get a refund for this and remove the app? This is wrong on so many levels, beginning with having a free app for kids luring them to a ridiculously priced one. Any help is appreciated.

    You posted in the Mac computer OS X Tiger 10.4 forum. You don't provide enough info. Was this an iPad app, iPhone app, an iPod app purchased from the iTunes store? Or an app purchased from another source?
    The remedy - don't give your kids the password and answer to security questions.
    If purchased from the iTunes store, there's a link on the invoice.
