If my application is free to download, but requires my user to purchase a monthly subscription, will Apple collect a 30% fee every month that user is billed?  Or will Apple only collect a 30% fee for the first month?  If so, is there anyway around this?

Hi!
I am looking into developing an app for the App Store and my question is regarding Apple's 30% in app purchase fee.  If my application is free to download, but requires my user to purchase a monthly subscription, will Apple collect a 30% fee every month that user is billed?  Or will Apple only collect a 30% fee for the first month?  If so, is there anyway around this? 
What all does Apple collect a 30% app store fee on?  What does Apple not collect a fee on in the App Store?
How does Amazon get billed if someone purchases something from Amazon from within their iPhone application?

Any in-app purchases are subject to the 30% withholding.
No way around it.
Amazon purchases are physical items (not digital) and do not go through in-app purchase so they are exempt.

  • IPhone restored while attempting to update it for the first time through Itunes, is there anyway to get my apps, contacts, and photos back?

    I purchased an IPhone back in April but have yet to ever update it using the itunes. Today I installed ITunes64 version 10.5.0.142 and connected my IPhone to my PC. After this I went to the IPhone and clicked the check for updates button. After updating my phone was restored and I had lost all of it's contacts, apps, photos, and everytihng. Is there anyway to recover my stuff?
    Tom

    In the process of updating the iphone,the update process performs a backup of your phone prior to updating the ios software. Connect your phone via usb,if itunes doesn't luanch,then luanch the app manually,on the left side pane of itunes the name of your phone will be listed under devices,right click on the name of your phone,and select restore from backup, then just follow the process. In the future it's very important to backup your iphone on a regular basis via icloud or itunes.Hope it all goes well for you
    After rereading your oringinal post, I would first just resync it via itunes on your computer before I did a rstore from backup.

  • My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

    OK. I will work backwards.
    You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
    Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
    That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

  • Why am I being asked for my billing info for updating free apps? This has never happened before! Now I can't update anything. Is there anyway around this?

    I am being asked to provide my billing info for updating free apps... This has never happened before. I don't have a credit card so is there anyway around this??

    The only way is to create an Apple ID without a credit card. The one you currently created will not work, it has to be a new one, and use this support document to do it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 Make sure you follow the directions exactly.

  • If I purchase an iPhone 6 from Apple directly, am I still eligible for the $200 trade in credit?

    I don't see anything on Trade-In Program FAQs | Verizon Wireless that says the iPhone 6 has to be specifically purchased through Verizon in order to get the credit. I preordered, but my status has been in 'Processing' mode for a week and a half now with no other information. If I knew it was coming soon, I'd just hold out. However, now I'd like to see about canceling my preorder and trying to get one from a local Apple store.

    Don't want to wait? Get INSTANT savings when you trade in at Verizon Wireless store between 9/12/14 and 9/30/14.

    What are the requirements to participate in this offer?You must be purchasing either iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus on a new Verizon Edge agreement, 2-year contract, or when you pay full retail price.

  • I forgot one of the answers to my security questions and my account was locked for 8 hours. Is there anyway around this? I am trying to change the questions.

    I forgot one of the ansers to a security question and my account was locked for 8 hours.  Is there anything I can do or do I have to wait 8 hours?  I will probably get locked out again for providing the wrong answer.  Can I change the security questions?

  • HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password.  One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses.  Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

    Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse.  I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password.  One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption.  If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

    No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
    There are two options:
    stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
    Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.

  • Working with CMYK for the first time - no bright colors in CMYK?

    I have a project for school and have been told to use CMYK. i've never used CMYK before and know nothing about it other than CMYK standing for Cyan Magenta Yellow Key.
    is it not possible to get bright, neon-y colors (the kind of color that is in the upperright hand side of the color box, like this green for example) ? when i try to choose colors like that, photoshop chooses a darker color instead, giving me a warning sign that the one i chose is "out of gamut for printing". is there anyway around this?

    It is not possible to get bright, saturated greens in CMYK. Here's a plot of the color gamut (available colors) of sRGB, the web colorspace (wireframe) compared to SWOP CMYK (the solid color area). See how in the bright greens there's a huge hole missing in the SWOP gamut.
    You can work in RGB, and soft-proof CMYK (View > proof colors), converting as you save out a file for print. Don't worry too much, as most greens you see in print have this same limitation, and as long as you don't hold a neon green up for comparison, they usually look OK.

    Kindly inform any email id or toll free number to contact apple for your below answer, Mr.King_Penguin
    About receiving my credit card being debited for Free App Store Application downloads,
    It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
    I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
    Rajagopal.pngr :-  It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

  • I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

    I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

    Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
    Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation.  They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 6 you can do so at Download CS6 products.
