I downloaded an app that said free, but later it turns out that I have to pay for it! Why did that happen!?!?

I don't get it!!!

Without knowing what app you are talking about, no one here can explain what happended. We can however, make certain assumptions.
Many, free games include "in-app" purchases.... items that you can buy within the game that let you unlock other levels, or use to enhance the game experience. Some free games are lite versions and if you agree to upgrade the game, you may have to pay for the upgrade.
So like I said without knowing what game you are talking about and what you might have done during game play, we can only guess. But .... You should have been required to enter your password when you made any purchases - unless you had already entered your password for another reason - maybe to download a free app perhaps.
Once you enter your password, you can download continuously without having to re-enter the password for a 15 minute period of time so if that's the case, only you would know what happened. If that's not the case, more details will be needed from you for a further explanation.

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Tryin to dwn load a free game frm app wich says free but it keeps askin for my bank details

There are very few truly free games/apps anymore. The Freemium model has become the norm. They give you a level or two to try and then they need you to Buy the rest of the game.
I would delete it and see if you can find another game in the App store.
And you shouldn't have to input your bank information. In App Purchases should be done through iTunes and you shouldn't have to give out your banking info. I would report the game to Apple at:

I wiped my MacBook Pro due to a problem, will I have to pay for iMovie or iPhoto that was originally installed on my older MacBook Pro ?

Due to a problem with my older MacBook Pro I had to wipe it clean. Now I no longer have iPhoto or iMovie , will I have to pay for those programs ? If so, are there any older versions available I can download for free.

a brandnew Mac (=aka after a clean isntall), should be registered with an AppleID.
Then, you're entitled to download the pre-installed apps for free from AppStore, just log-in with that Apple-ID...-

I bought my Macbook Air 3 weeks ago (23 March) and have to pay for iPhoto'11 : is that logic ?

Via time machine I used my back up of my previous Macbook Pro if this has any relation to my problem.
Now I feel like being blackmailed by Apple ....... pay or you will loos all your pictures .....

You haven't purchased iPhoto yet, have you? If not then contact Apple as ask them why iPhoto wasn't included with the other applications on the MacBook Air? Because it should have been. You do not need to purcahse it.
You can take it to a local Apple store with your purchase papers and have them install any missing applicaitons.
OR, if you still have your MacBook Pro and the disks that came with it? If so you can connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable, with the Mac Air in Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire,, and run the Software Installer disk on the MPB to install iPhoto on your MacBook Air.
The installer disk looks like this:

If I wanted to buy certain songs off a deluxe album that require the whole album to be purchased, will I have to pay for the songs I have from the regular album again?

A long time ago, I bought one of Mumford and Sons' regular albums, and more recently, I bought two bonus songs off their deluxe album. The last song on the deluxe album can only be download with a purchase of the whole album. Will I have to repay for all the songs I already have, just to get the one extra?

Unless the album is included in the "Complete My Album" feature:

then yes, you would pay for those tracks again when you buy the entire album.

I have an I phone 3 gs and unless I stand next to a router It cannot find a wireless signal.I guess the phone is broken.Also I don't believe you have to pay for apple to ask that question?

I have an I phone 3gs which for the last few months cannot find wi-fi signals unless I stand next to a wireless modem. To annoy me even more I called apple to find out if the phone is unserviceable and they want money to tell me if it's broken!!! Is this bill gates in disguise?

The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?

I downloaded 2 apps that said "FREE".

One of them was OmniFocus which cost 39.99 dollars
and the other one was Things which was 19.99 dollars.
I'm sure that both of them said 'FREE' next to them when I downloaded them
because usually when you have to pay,
they tell you once more about the price and if i really want to buy it or not.
But both of the times, they didn't ask me anything at all.
When I clicked Free, it turned to Install and when I cliked Install, they were downloaded right away.
So i thought I got them for free but later I got a mail saying that I had paid for those 2 apps!
I did sent a mail to them but can I actually get my 60 dollars back?
There was nothing that I did wrong in the process so would it be possible to get my money back?

Do a doublecheck, access the App Store from a different computer and see if you see 'free' instead of a price. Also, check the reviews, if something wrong is happening then it's probably not only happening to you.
The terms of sale for the App Store is that all sales are final, however that may not always be the case.
You need to talk to iTUnes
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
I searched the App Store and what I saw was several free omnis, but the omnifocus did have a price on it. Perhaps you clicked the wrong box?

TS1702 I downloaded an app that was free but I was charged for it.

How do I get my money back?
It said it is called: Bike Race Free by Top Free Games.

The basic game is free, but did you perhaps acquire anything else from within the same, such as a Ghost Bike or turning off ads? You have to pay for those.

When I try to download an app, even a free one, a box pops up saying I need to verify payment info. When I try to redeem my iTunes money it shows my balance but requires a code. ??? Any help?

Okay, I'm going to try to post this ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!! This **** site keeps deleting my question!?????
While trying to download an app, even a free one, the download starts then a box pops up asking for verification of payment. I put in my credit card info but then it doesn't like my address info.? So I then try every variation of spelling and such. I can't make it happy, I never had a prob before .
Then I decided to try to redeem my iTunes money but a box come up , it has my account name there, and my remaining $. It all looks correct. But it asks for a code .??? I entered all the info when I got the card. Then threw the card away. I've bought items from this with no prob until now. ???
So I'm suppose to hang onto that carduntil I spend everything? Never did before, and it was working fine till now.
So here I sit . Pretty much clueless and starting to steam !
Hopefully someone has a tip or suggestion.

If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

I added an app that said FREE then it is giving to me for 14 days,,,I want to delete it and do not know how..

I added an app that said FREE then after installing it said I had a 14 day trial..I want to delete this and do not know how

If you downloaded the app in iTunes on your computer, and synced the iPod touch, you can unselect the app in iTunes, in the iPod's sync settings for Apps, and Sync the iPod again.
If you downloaded the app directly on the iPod touch, tap and hold on the app's icon (on the iPod's screen). The icons start to "jiggle." Click the X next to the app's icon, to remove that app from the iPod.
