I'm trying to be charged for iLife apps??

i have just purchased the latest Macbook Air second hand from a friend. He has downloaded the latest Mavericks on here but I can't get any of the iLife apps for free. Is this normal?

Hi mpizzey89,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The apps are tied to the former owner's Apple ID.  He would have to go to the Purchases pane in the Mac App Store to see what apps are available to download.

  • Acct charged for an app not able to use

    I'm new to the "ipod world".  I got a 4th gen ipod touch for my child for christmas.  We are trying to learn how to use the ipod to the best capabilities.  He got an app gift card loaded to his acct just fine.  When he tries to download a Adventures of Tin Tin game it pops up that there is not enough memory for the game to download but his acct was already charged for the game.  He is not able to play the game and I believe that his acct was charged twice because he tried to download again.  How or what do I need to do to correct this?  It doesn't seem fair for him to be charged for an app twice that he can't even use.

    - If he was signed into he same iTuns account that originally purchased the app he will not be charfged again for a redownload,.
    - To downloag and install an app there must be storage space available on the iPod that is over two times greaer than the app download fle size. The error message yu are getting is tell you that there is not sufficient storage space.  Items need to be deleted from the iPod to free up storage space.

  • I downloaded an app off the store which said it was free and part of the 5 year promotion. I've been charged for the app by the store. I don't want the app and there's no one to speak to about it. Who can I call and how can I get the app off my phone?

    You cannot call anyone.  You contact them as everyone else does:  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    You delete the app as you do any other app.  Hold an icon until they wiggle.  Tap the "x".  This is covered in the manual.

  • TS1424 I was charged for an App that was presented as being free.Has this happened to anyone else?

    I was charged for an App that was presented as being free.Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do?

    You were charged for downloading it (some apps allow you to make in-app purchases within them to unlock extra features) ?
    If when downloading it then does a purchase price show on your purchase history : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list).
    Of did you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account when downloading the app ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied 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 - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

    If you have been charged when you shouldn't have 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

  • 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

  • TS1424 Charged for free app

    On 06/08/12 I was charged for an app that had said free (the app is accoustic ruler.)  what is going on apple?

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. Did you make an in-app purchase in it, or did you add/amend your credit card details on your account ? If you changed your card details then is it $1 - if so then it's probably a holding charge which should disappear with a few days.
    I can only see an Acoustic Ruler Pro which is a paid-for app (?)

    So on the one that you changed go into iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, login to your changed account and click on your purchase history.
    If it does not show a purchase history, notify the people at the iTunes Store:

  • What procedure do I use if I was charged for an app but it was never loaded on my IPad

    Who do I contact if I was charged for an APP for my IPad 2 that was never loaded?

    Go back to the App Store and try to download it again. If it says in the store that it's already Installed, it's probably somewhere on the iPad.
