ITunes 10 is taking my money!  And taking forever!

I've updated to iTunes 10, now when I try to purchase a song, it never actually does it, but it still takes the money off of my account! It is also taking forever to do anything...what do I do???

You are experiencing a problem many others have reported.  Basically, during the matching process, if there is a "clean" version of an "explicit" song, Apple is matching to the "clean" one.  The explicit track is still on your computer unless you've removed it.
As for who would want a "clean" version of anything, only people who have purchased it could tell you why.  Consider the legal implications, however, if someone who wanted "clean" versions suddenly found all their music had gone, well, nasty!
Apple's legal department may have forced engineering to put some measures in place to keep that from happening.  If they did, they're working a little too well.  Hopefully with time Apple will get it straightened out.

    Hi,
        In KM,   is it possible to restrict the user with read permission from taking printout, from copying the document, from taking screen shots for a document.
        If possible , how to achieve it.

    Hi,
    Once the user has read permission and able to view the document, there is no possibility to stop this user from taking printout, copying and making screen shots.

  • Why can I not watch the entie tv show series I have bought and paid for? This is **** up for iTunes to take my money and not deliver!!!

    I am VERY upset after spending a chunk of money for the entire series of Walking Dead on ******* itunes. I cannot watch any of the **** episodes but the first 30 seconds. How the **** can i get my money back and warn others of this rip off??  Being an Corporate Attorney, do I need to sue iTunes to get my money back?? Yes my language dont come from an spoken attorney but from an ANGRY user!!!!!!

    Use the "report a problem" link on your receipt or your iTunes account purchases section to ask for a refund.

  • For the People Who Say That Creative Is Taking Their Money and That Apple Is Better.

    I was just browsing the Apple site (gotta' keep up with the competition) and found this page. Pay close attention to the overview of the ratings and how people are complaining that Apple is gouging at their wallets.

    Well, I understand the reason Creative took the charger out of the Micro box was that Apple didn't have one and they could reduce the cost by taking it out.
    There's one advantage the Micro has over the iPod in the charger game: Since there are cell-phone or similar chargers that use mini-B ports like the Micro (RAZR, BlackBerry, Audiovox SMT5600, and others), it's easier to find cheap third-party chargers for the Micro than for the iPod. (Most third-party iPod chargers are part of more complex accessories that cost even more.)

  • HT204312 I-tunes taking my money and not giving me the song i wanted?

    I downloaded a song off the store and it didn't download until the 3rd time. It took 2.58 of mine without downloading the song. How can i get the 2.58 back onto my account? The song was Smalltown boy by BronskiBeat.

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a refund. If a credit card got charged, you can also contact the card's issuer and dispute it.

  • HT1977 how to stop auto downloads and taking money from my account

    Please help,my itunes account started downloading apps and taking my money. What do i do to stop this

    I have never heard of the app store automatically downloading apps if the user did not initiate the download by entering their password first. Sign out of your account and that should stop it.
    If someone shares an Apple ID with you, then you might be seeing the downloads that they have purchased and that is why this happening - i f you have auto downloads turned on in Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps > On.
    Does anyone share your Apple ID?

  • Downloaded games from suppliers to iPad - these are now downlighting to iTunes on my m/s computer and taking hours and hours to do so.  If I delete them from iTunes will this affect the games now on my iPad?  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Games downloaded direct to iPad.   They are now auto downloading to iTunes on M/s PC and taking hours to do so.  If I delete those partially downloaded to PC will it affect those on iPad when I next sync iPad with PC?
    Any advice appreciated - thanks.

    To start things off, I like to manually manage my media and will insturct you to do the same. To enable doing this, you check off the box for it on your phone's summary on iTunes. Now tranferring media is as easy as dragging and dropping.
    (1) To get songs from your phone onto your iTunes, you open up your phone's dropdown menu on the iTunes sidebar and click Music. You can be able to drag music file into your Music folder in the Library section of iTunes. You can also just right click your phone's name and click "Transfer Purchases" if you want to move everything new on your iPhone onto your computer's library.
    (2) You open your Music library on your computer and simply drag highlighted songs onto your phone's name on the sidebar. When in album grid view or cover flow, you can click and drag a whole album right on. The downside of manual management is that you can easily accidentally add doubles of songs onto your phone. Of course, if you notice this on your phone, you can just swipe to the right across the song's name and you should have a nice little delete button so you can remove extras anywhere.
    (3) I heard about this online and it actually is buried in the Terms and Conditions somewhere. I don't think this rule will apply if you are exchanging the music over your iTunes account devices. I think this applies to buring the iTunes material to CDs. I think these speacial media file can somehow detect what they are moved or copied onto and keep a statistic buried in their coding. This is more of a logical assumption than a fact, but what else could these terms possibly mean? If you want to know more about this, Bruce Willis was having a big arguement about this online because he wanted to give his medie to his children. You can probably find an article about this using those search terms.
    I worked hard on this response and would appreciate if you marked it correct if it served as any help to you. Thank you in advance.

    Update your credit card info.
    This is how iTunes verifies your account.

    Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
    This will open a series of windows with tabs.
    Select the tab for photos.
    Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
    They will be removed.

    I'm on my iPad, so I don't know if this is the page with an actual download. I don't see a button, but assume that is because I  am on an iPad. It is in the DL section of Apple downloads.

  • Hello, i registered my visa card and then removed and again 3 times. and im realize itunes takes money at every register, so i make little research there says itunes gives back that money back but its already 3rd week and no refunds ? Please help

    The temporary store holding charge that is made when you add or change the card details (to check that the card is valid and active and registered to the same name and address as on your account) should disappear within a few days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702 - it should be your card issuer that removes the hold, so you may need to contact them :
    Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The amount of time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
    If you have questions about the way your financial institution handles authorization requests, contact their customer service department.
    If you want to contact iTunes support then you can do so 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

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.
