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/

HT3702 I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free?

I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free? It is possible to get money back?

If you are referring to the temporary store holding charge as described on the page that you posting, which is 'charged' each time that you change the card details on your account, then it should disappear off the card within a few days or so - though it varies by bank, and with it now being the weekend it might an extra day or two. If they haven't disappeared within a week of them being made then you could contact 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
Also some apps may be free to download but they then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features within them - you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions on your phone.

I think I'm being charged for free apps?

Hi...I'm wondering, if there is any such thing as someone being charged to for free apps? I've been looking at my banking statements for the past few months & it looks like I'm being charged for apps that I downloaded for free. I recently lost my credit card & had to get a new one. When, I changed my credit card information on Itunes, that's when I noticed I was being charged. I often download music on Itunes & upload my magazines to my Ipad,but these aren't only things I'm being charged for. Most of the apps I download are the free ones. It makes me not want to update my apps, because I know I'm charged. Please help me!

I have solved the problem I was showing negative balance in my bank so iTunes needs to verify my account by taking £1.00 every app.

TS1702 I am being charged for free app downloads

I have just bought a new iPhone 4s and after downloading free apps my phone kept taking me to the billing section. I deleted the apps and then restarted my phone. I have downloaded them again and I have just seen my bank account and I have been charged for the free apps. How do I get my money back after clearly being ripped off!!!

You should go to your account info in iTunes, log into your iTunes account, search for your purchase list and click on "report problem", or contact iTunes via Apple - Support - Express Lane -

HT5622 Being charged for free apps?

I downloaded some recommended free apps but i've been charged for them. Has this happened to anyone else?

no never heard of is
what do they charge for the free apps?

I just bought a new macbook pro and was able to get iWorks for free but the App Store is trying to charge me for iLife.

What do I need to do to get my free copy of iLife?

You should accept the apps within the App Store -> Purchases tab.
Otherwise delete adoption.plist from /Library/Application Support/App Store/ or /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/
Of course it depends on the age of your computer. If it was purchased before OS X Lion was released then you need to reinstall the iLife suite from the original DVD.

I have unknown charges on my account. How can I tell what I am being charged for?

I would like to know how to tell what I am being charged for. I have two .99 charges on my bank account and I am unsure as to what they are for. One in particular is from today and I have not purchased anything. I did do some app updates. Am I being charged for updating a purchased app?
I would like to know how to get the specific information of purchases that are appearing on my bank statement. I have tried searching for the reference number from my statement but did not find anything.
Thank you!

It could be:
iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds
You could contact itunes support and ask. Click Support at the top if this page, then click the link under Contact Us

All sales are final, but sometimes they make an exception.

I was informed that my data plan was eligible for a free upgrade from 250mb to 750mb and told the rep to do so. but it was never done. I am being charged for overage. What do I do?

I called in to do a temp upgrade on my data and was told by the rep that my account was eligible for a free upgrade. I said okay, but it never happened and now I am being charged for an overage. When I check my plan specifics I see that my data is set to the old amount, I will not pay what I don't owe. Now I am having trouble contacting anyone to help resolve this issue.

Dusty4691,
This is a stumper! As MrHelper stated, we do not have a 750MB plan so I'm curious as to what that offer was. How much data did you end up using for the month and how much were you charged in overages?

Am I being charged for international texting?

So I am doing a masters program in Ireland, so I'm international. Everyone that I talk to back home has an iphone just like I do, and I have a question that I cannot find an answer to.
Since I'm in Ireland, I don't want to have a huge phone bill every month, so I have all forms of roaming off (voice, data, and international CDMA). I also have Cellular data off, as well as MMS and SMS messages.
I've checked under the current data usage period, and current period roaming, and the data usage is 0 . When my friend back home texts me, he says that they are sending to me as regular texts. He receives mine as regular texts as well unless I'm in a wifi area, then we are both send and receive them as Imessages.
My questions is that even with all roaming turned off, cellular, ect, I'm still able to send and receive text messages while I'm NOT in a wifi area. This only works for my friends and family that have Iphones, so I'm assuming that it means I'm okay to text them while I'm not connected to wifi?
one thing to mention, that since I'm in Ireland, my service provider at the top left of the screen no longer says AT&T. It says "Vodaphone IE" and sometimes changes to other names like Meteor, O2, and a couple others. My plan is still through AT&T, so i'm not sure why it changes over to those. Maybe that's why I'm able to send texts?
I just don't want to rack up a huge phone bill, not knowing I was accumulating international charges. Because if everything is turned off except for Imessage, and the data under cellular in settings isn't going up, then theoretically I'm not using data right? or that it should be free? I've been here about a month, and my mom pays the bill. She hasn't called to say that the phone bill was extremely large, but I don't wan't to text if there's some kind of risk. That being said, I would really appreciate some help with the above scenario that I just described, because this has me clueless.

If the messages you receive are coming in as green, then they're coming in as text messages. If you can, check your voice, data and text usage on AT&T's website - that will tell you for sure if you're being charged for anything.

HT201272 I have multiple devices on one account. I am being charged for something I already paid for

You can contact iTunes support here : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
But not all in-app purchases can be re-downloaded for free or transferred to a different device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4009

TS3988 I'm being charged for an icloud ring tone. how do I cancel it?

I'm being charged for an ecloud ring tone. how do I cancel it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.

How do I know what I'm being charged for?

I pay my itunes with PayPal. If I buy something, I don't see the charge till days later in an email from PayPal which only identifies it as coming from iTunes, but not which product. Thus I frequently have no way to figure out whether the charges are legit & what product they relate to. The latest is I just downloaded an app that claimed to be free. Shortly after, I got a $1.99 charge from PayPal from iTunes. I have no way of knowing was that the supposedly free app or some app I bought a couple of days earlier that just now showed up on PayPal. I can't go into iTunes & see which apps were bought when or what I was charged for them. I can't go to PayPal & see was I being charged for an app or song I even bought. How does one verify charges are correct?

Log into your iTunes Store account and click on the Purchase History. All your purchases with the prices you were charged will be listed there. If you believe you've been charged for an app that should be free, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.
