ITunes Account Acting Up

Why is my account acting up??!! I DEMAND SOME ANSWERS!!!! YOU GUYS ARE REALLY STARTING TO **** ME OFF!!!! I had made two purchases of 19.99 and 9.99 and they both went through and yet they keep saying that there's a billing problem!!!! What the **** is going on??!! And again my music library deleted 45 songs even with 1.4 GB of available space!!!! Why the **** does it have to delete music or anything for that matter just to save space. Why doesn't it just stop downloading??!! There had better be a way to fix that!!!! I tried to be patient and calm but I just can't stand it when they remove music without my knowledge or permission!!!! And you guys need to speed up your billing process, it should not take several days to approve the transactions!!!! Sorry about the rant but I had to just get it out.

Did you receive the item ? If you did then you will either need to pay for it, or you can see if iTunes Support will cancel the purchase : http://reportaproblem.apple.com/
If you didn't receive it but iTunes is trying to collect the money for it then contact iTunes Support and see if they can sort it out :  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

  • Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Why is this setup now blocked by Apple? Cannot download purchased music.

    Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Each of us is using an own individual iPhone, which we frequently update with our iTunes Accounts. We have had this setup for years. It was convenient, reliable and user friendly, since we both could download what we wanted, create playlists, etc. without impact on the other. Exactly this convenience has made me and my wife real Apple fans, so that we also wanted to convince our daughter to move from Android and PC to our easier Apple setup.
    Since a few weeks, this setup does not work anymore. From Apple Support (online chat on Apple.at) I was not told that this is not supported any more. Every computer is only allowed to be connected to one iTunes account. From one perspective (sharing music across other users as an act or media piracy, etc.) I can somehow understand this. However, since we are using different user accounts on this computer, I do not have access to other user´s iTunes media and could not play, download or copy it. So what is the point in this?
    This now means, that my wife and I are only allowed to download individually purchased music with our personal iTunes accounts only with an interval of 90 days, so every on of us 2 times a year!
    Was I incorrectly informed by the Apple support? If so, how can I solve the problem? Or is this really a new policy by Apple? If so, what is the reason? Am I expected to purchase a Mac for my wife, my daughter, myslef and for the three smaller kids to follow soon?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
    If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

  • Two iphones on one itunes account...problems galore..help wanted!!

    My wife and I both have an iphone and are delighted with it except for this problem..
    I bought mine first (phone 1), set up itunes and had no problems, it synced nicely, i downloaded music etc and ll was going well... the App store also work fantastically... my wife, based on my success (and the fact that her nokia N97 was pants) decided to get herself an iphone (phone 2). When signing up the contract in store we were told that "just, plug the phone into the laptop if you already have itunes and itunes will reognise it as a second device and act accordingly...." WRONG!!!
    What actually happened was that the new phone, synced with itunes with all my details and lost all of my wifes phone numbers she had entered onto it, it got worse, after deleting all the numbers that she didnt want and putting her phone book back as she wanted it, she synced it again, this time itunes took the details from her phone and stored them in itself, next i came along and synced my phone and lost all my work numbers, all my music too and ended up with my wifes details.... Now when i access the App store i have to enter her password.. sometimes.. sometimes i have to enter my own and sometimes neither will work and i cannot download anything at all. Its all become one big mess...
    I want an expert to untangle this mess for us as, at the moment i no longer sync my phone at all for fear of losing all the details again so of course im not getting the most from my phone. I phoned teh geek squad and they said... when you start itunes just hold down the CTRL button as you launch it and it will start a second account... it did but im sure that has added to the problem.
    Im no itunes expert but need this sorted to enjoy the device the way it was intended...
    Please help...

    Sorry things haven't worked the way you expected. You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes account, selecting under the various tabs what you want on each device and itunes will keep it all straight upon subsequent syncs. It appears you may not have properly selected what content you want on each device. To sort this out, start by reading this article on syncing. Most of your questions will be answered in that article. Post back after reading with specific questions related to specific content.

  • Change my itunes account and all devices to a new pc

    Hi I was wondering how I can change over everthing that has to do with my itunes to my new laptop. Me and my wife have several apple devices. We both have Iphones and 3 ipod touches plus just purchased and ipad. I have a new laptop and transfered all my apps, music and books with software I purchased. I'm sure I have everything I need on my new pc. I have folders set up on my phone and ipod and want them to stay the same, when i synced my ipod all the contact info was there but my folders are missing or are empty and the apps are all in different places. With my old itunes account I could sync so my ipod was set up the same as my phone and it worked great but now I'm scared to sync my phone on my new pc and undo all my folders and have everything messed up. Also my wife has her phone and ipod organized different than mine and she wants hers to stay the same also. I guess what I want is for Itunes on my new pc to act like it did on my old pc. I would like to be able to sync my ipod so it has the same folders,contacts,music and apps as my phone, and be able to sync my wifes ipod so she has the same folders, contacts, music and apps as her phone. I was planing on giving away my old laptop to someone who could use it so I really dont want to keep it just so I can use it for itunes. Thanks for any help.

    All iTunes purchases are permanently attached to the account used to obtain them and can't be transferred.
    I would suggest you relocate your iTunes library onto a drive big enough to hold it all, with room for growth, and obtain a second to act as a backup.

  • I would like to remove movies synced on my itunes account and transfer them to a new itunes account. Is this possible?

    Hello,
    For years I have been using my main Apple ID to sync with itunes on my work laptop. Over the years we've added many i-devices (iphone, 2 ipads, ipod, apple TV) which have been all syncing to the same Apple ID. I have gotten to the point where my work computer doesn't have enough memory to house everything and I wanted to find a resolution to this.
    My initial thoughts were to delete my kids' movies from the iTunes account on my computer and only keep them on the various devices. When I try to do so I get a warning that the movie I would like to delete will also delete from all of my devices. I don't want to do this...
    So, I just bought a new computer for the house and have created a new Apple ID for it. I would like to transfer all of the movies currently residing on my computer with my current apple ID to the new computer with the new Apple ID. I don't want to have the movies on both Apple IDs, only one so this should not be an infringement on copyright. I've searched on the web and have not found a solution for this.
    I must remove the movies from my computer (they were all purchased through iTunes, by the way) but don't want to repurchase them on the new Apple ID as it will cost me hundreds of dollars.
    Any ideas on how to transfer the movies are welcomed.

    All iTunes purchases are permanently attached to the account used to obtain them and can't be transferred.

  • How do i switch itunes accounts on my iphone?

    Is it possible to change itunes accounts from my iphone 4S??? The account i have now is known by my computer, but my phone acts like it has no idea that i got rid of the old one!!!! Now i can't upgrade or get new apps because my iphone is still using the old account. What do I do??? Please help

    All apps purchased using an Apple ID are forever tied to that ID. You cannnot merge, transfer Apple ID.
    If you need to update those apps, you have to use the same Apple ID used to purchase them.

  • Managing multiple itunes accounts on a single computer

    I have an iPod and an iPad that use a single iTunes account on a certain PC. I have a second iPod that I have setup on a second computer which also has its own separate iTunes account (because at the time I didn't understand you can manage multiple devices from a single account/computer). This second iPod has iPod apps I have purchased from my second iTunes account. I would like to change this and manage my second iPod from my main computer (so everything lives in one place). When I hooked the second iPod up to my main computer I picked the option to "transfer purchases to this computer". It acted like it was doing it, but I noticed nothing transferred. I unplugged the device and plugged it back in, and a dialogue box told me this iPod contained 33 applications that were NOT authorized to play on this computer and would not transfer them. It said I needed to authorize the computer to do that. My PC is already authorized with my main account and I don't want to mess that up. Can I authorize my computer for my second itunes account and have it authorized for both? Am I allowed to take apps I've purchased for the ipod that is on account 1 and install any of those apps on the ipod that is associated with account 2? I've purchased all these apps, I just did not understand from the get go that there was no need for me to setup 2 completely different itunes accounts. The second iPod I am going to give to my young daughter as a toy, but I absolutely don't want to mess up my iPad and first iPod as I use them for work on a daily basis. Any help would be appreciated.

    +Can I authorize my computer for my second itunes account and have it authorized for both?+
    Yes. Sign out of the itunes store under the first account, then _sign back in_ with 2nd.
    +I just did not understand from the get go that there was no need for me to setup 2 completely different itunes accounts.+
    Don't worry, lots of people made this same mistake. It will be kind of a hassle remembering to authorize both accounts in the future, but it's manageable. You know that license agreement that comes up after an itunes update? I think you'll have to go in under both accounts and agree to it from now on.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    See this line?
    +If the iTunes Store purchases on your device were purchased with multiple accounts, you will need to authorize the computer for each one.+
    That's what I'm talking about.

  • How many itunes accounts are allowed per computer?

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle configuring all 80 of the iPads my business is purchasing.  I know there is a limit of 10 devices per iTunes account.  How many iTunes accounts are permitted per computer? I tried to just create 8 apple ids, which I was able to do online.  But when I try to sign in to those on iTunes, once I get to the part where I verify with a credit card, I can not get past the 3rd one. I have previously signed in with 2 other accounts on my machine, so I'm wondering if there is a limit of 5 accounts per computer.  Can anyone verify?  If that's true, what suggestions do you have for how to get around or best manage this situation?
    I'm not as much of a techie as I should be.. but thanks in advance for your help!!

    Hi allisonwfrom nc,
    The limit you are referring to is for a single personal Apple ID (not for multiple users) that is allowed to be associated with a total of 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). Example you can have 5 computers and 5 iOS devices, 3 computers and 7 iOS devices, but not 6 computers and 4 iOS devices.
    From http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
    Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
    i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
    Again this is for a single user. For multiple users like in schools or businesses you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses. http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
    APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
    ( i )If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
    ( ii ) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
    If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app.
    There is a free OS X program called Apple Configurator that you can use to distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
    There are a few things I recommend you do to get started:
    First I would watch the iOS Deployment Model Videos on the left side of this page:
    http://www.apple.com/education/resources/information-technology.html
    Then I recommend you read through these two guides:
    iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide
    http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
    Apple Configurator Help Guide
    http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
    This will give you a solid foundation for managing iPads with Apple Configurator. Once you read through these guides you will likely have more specific questions that you can post to these forums.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Can you have different face time accounts when two iPads use the same iTunes account?

    I use one iTunes account for all apple products but want to use face time. Can I set it up so when we are not together we can face time each other.

    Yes. In settings, FaceTime, just add an email. Email acts as a phone number. When you place a call to the other ipad, just make sure it's to that email.

  • Hacked/unauthorized use of my iTunes account! PLEASE HELP!

    Within a short period of time on November 26th, my iTunes account was hacked by an unknown person that authorized my iTunes account on their computer and then they made several unauthorized purchases that I did not know anything about.
    There are a total of 7 (seven) transactions that total $266.66--all seven transactions were made/purchased by an unknown person who hacked into my account.
    All seven transactions were charged to my PayPal account.
    I had authorized my iTunes account on two computers: my main home computer and my laptop. When I first logged into my iTunes account after finding out of this unauthorized use, I saw that that number of authorized computers was listed as 3 and there were 149 downloads that still hadn't been downloaded.
    So, I'm being charged $266.66 through PayPal via my checking account for 7 transactions that I did not authorize or even know about.
    I spoke online through the chat option on iTunes Support with three people: Jessie, Emily and Ray. Emily told me that iTunes cannot do anything and that I needed to contact PayPal. Emily cancelled out all the private data and Computer Authorizations on my account and advised me to change my password. She also gave me a claim number.
    After I chatted with Emily I noticed the 149 downloads on my iTunes account that had not been downloaded. I got back on iTunes Support Chat online and talked to Ray. He verified that most of the unauthorized downloads were never even downloaded--the person who hacked into my account didn't even use all of the programs they "purchased"!
    Ray cleared the unused downloads (there were 149 of them) and told me that since almost all of the downloads were never downloaded/used, that would show in my favor in making a claim that these iTunes transactions were fraudulent. He then advised me to contact both PayPal and my bank.
    I contacted PayPal who would not do anything, I contacted my bank and filed a claim that the charges were NOT authorized by me. They credited the $266.66 back to me BUT NOW my PayPal account is NEGATIVE for the $266.66
    My bank credited my checking account, but now I'm in the red with PayPal. PayPal's fraud/security department contacted iTunes about the fraudulent charges and iTunes DENIED PAYPAL'S CLAIM saying that the charges are not fraudulent!
    I spoke to PayPal on the phone today for 45 minutes and they told me that since the charges for the seven unauthorized transactions were initiated by iTunes that iTunes needs to refund the charges in order for my PayPal account to be resolved.
    I am stunned, shocked and amazed that there is no customer telephone support for iTunes and issues like this.
    In my desperation to try and resolve this issue, I called Apple Technical Support and spoke on the phone with an agent named Adam and explained my problem to him.
    He documented everything, gave me a case number, and suggested I e-mail iTunes and post here.
    I have e-mailed iTunes and not gotten a reply.
    I really need some help with this issue. I am an unemployed stay-at-home dad and this negative $266.66 has put me in the red quite terribly. Several of my monthly bills will not be paid this month because of this.
    I *did not* make these purchases and I need some advice and/or help in trying to figure out how I can get this resolved.
    The people with iTunes/Apple have more than enough evidence that my account was hacked/breached/used without my knowledge. With the unused downloads they cancelled, the added computer authorization, and my contact online via chat, they have more than enough evidence on their end to see that I have been a victim of fraud.
    Can anyone offer me any advice on what to do? I would appreciate it more than anything.
    Thank you SO much in advance,
    Kev J.B.
    Please contact me as soon as you possibly can, I would appreciate it very much.

    What an awful position you've been placed in. If I were in your shoes, I would wait for my monthly credit card statement to arrive and then go into your bank and state that you did not authorise that specific transaction and you want it looked into. I've had two unauthorised transactions on my credit card (not with iTunes though), and I only noticed them once my monthly credit card statement arrived. I immediately rang my bank and I was told that it would be best if I went in person together with my statement, so they could lodge a claim. After several months the problem was resolved and I was credited back the amount. Both unauthorised transactions were by large well known company names and at first I thought that I stood no chance whatsoever in getting my money back or even proving that I didn't authorise both the transactions (two different transaction and not at the same time). Finally, I was informed that the other parties were not able to prove or show proof of me authorising the transactions and the matter was resolved. All you can do is try and keep trying until you get results. All the best and I hope this puts you at ease a touch. Paypal, right now your not being much of a pal, you need to get your act together and work out what has happened! Your service is suppose to make transactions through you secure, find out what's happened and fix it!

  • 2 iPhones, 2 Apple IDs, 2 iTune accounts.  With all this how do we sit up two iClould accounts?  Web site won't let me download a 2nd version of iCloud to create a second account.

    With 2 iPhones, 2 Apple IDs and 2 iTune accounts, how do we get separate iCloud accounts?  I have mine set up and working fine.  When I go in to download another version of iCloud, it acts like I need a repair and will not allow me to download a second version.  Can this be done?  Will all our photos now go into one Photo Stream folder? 
    Thanks. Susan

    We have two windows accounts and it worked fine that way, when you log into the other account and go to the iCloud control panel, log in with the second apple ID there. Then you have two separate photo stream folders.

  • ITunes is acting like its the first time I've logged on.

    I'm trying to sync my iPod to my itunes account because I recently added new songs to it. When I opened itunes its acting as if I've never used it. No songs are showing up at all. What do I do? I'm more concerned about syncing my iPhone because i don't want to lose all my apps and contacts that are stored in my itunes account. Please help.

    Hi Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    *Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash*
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename *iTunes Library.itl* as *iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library.itl*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch (Windows) or Music Folder Files Not Added (Mac) and Super Remove Dead Tracks (Mac) for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working *make a backup!*

  • Itunes account password incorrect on mac

    I recently changed my account password at appleid.account.com and updated the password on all my acounts and devices, however everytime I open itunes on my mac it tells me my password is incorrect.  I type in my the new password, go to my itunes account update my passord online and save, still no joy.  I'm obiviously missing  something and need an idea of where else my passwaord may be stored so I can fix this minor headache.

    It doesn't matter if the e-mail account is still active or not. The e-mail address she gave for the iTunes account simply acts as a username. And even if she changed the password to access the e-mail account at some point, her iTunes password would still be the same. (Unless she changed it there too.)She should try using the same username and password that she used with iTunes when setting up her account.

  • HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?

    I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account.  This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card.  Is there any way to use the card like this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Wonder why an Apple person told me this would work??
    Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
    Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
    Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
    Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
    "Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
    I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
    I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

  • ICloud with multiple family members sharing one iTunes account?

    How will iCloud work for the case where multiple family members share an iTunes account but each has his/her own iPhone/iPad/PC?
    Will iCloud replicate content based on email address, unique Apple ID, iTunes account, or??  If iTunes, we could have trouble as three of us share our iTunes account (started when our daughter was young and continued for simplicity).

    Keep one Apple ID for iTunes purchases (apps, music, etc.) for all family members on the iTunes Store and use different Apple IDs for each iCloud user. That worked for me.
