ITunes/App store took more money than it is supposed to

Hi guys,
I have a problem with App store. I purchased an app through App store on my iPhone. It cost 0,89€ and the App store took about 2€ from my bank account. How is that possible ? I've already checked my iTunes ID and purchases.
I would appreciate any help
Thank you
Jake

Hey velmistr jakub,
Thanks for the question. If this was your first purchase with the App Store, or the first purchase after updating your payment information, the additional amount you see may be an authorization hold:
iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702?viewlocale=en_US
As with many other merchants, the iTunes Store and Mac App Store places an authorization hold on your payment card account for the approximate amount of any purchase you make. If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
In any case, if you would like to look into this further you can contact our iTunes Store Support by reporting an issue with your purchase:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Thanks,
Matt M.

  • What can i do if the itunes people took more money than they are suppose to from my itunes card

    My money balence was $8 and something.i bought an app that was $1.99. When I had to put in the password, i accidently typed it wrong, but they didn't say to correct it, they only said '' unable to purchase''. so i tried to download it again, and when it fully downloaded it, i went to check how much money i have left. and instead of having $6 i have $4. what should i do???????????? help me plzzzz!!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • HT201263 while on vacation in france i downloaded the new iOS for my iPhone 4. Was asked to choose a location. By mistake i click on local location, hence France. Since then my iTunes, app. store and more are located to France. Can no longer access up-dat

    HELP! while in France i downloaded the new iPhone iOS 6. When asked to choose a location ( for maps to know what to do) i made the wrong choice and clicked on local, hence France. This scewed up my US iTunes account as well as apps store. . . so ican no longer acces it or download updates. . . it crerated more havoc that ican bare as in iTunes being located in France and in Euros. OUCH. i thought to restore iPhone to factory default. Will that do it or create more problem. (don't want to wtach US movies in French!!!)
    My question reall is how can i swithed back my location to USA. . .
    thanks for your help, out there.

    If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down .  In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo.  Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

  • ITunes/App Store account got hacked...what about my money?

    Hey guys, i'm in a really bad situation right now and I hope you guys can feel a little empathy for me...
    So, I traveled for 3 day and when I got home, the first thing I checked was my email and there it was a huge app store billing telling me that I had supposedly spent all my 25 dollars in apps that have never touched my computer. I keep my computer free o virus and keyloggers and I dont access internet through anything else but my own pc.
    Have no idea how the f* did it but someone hacked my account and spent my money on crappy apps, there's even chinese stuff..omg...
    Moving on, I've tried to contact apple 4 days ago and until now, no answer. I have I slightly thought they trying to con me but let's wait a bit more.
    *So if this contact with apple doesn't work, what can I do*? It's obviously apple's fault not to ask for more information to authorize a computer...had they asked, this would never happened..

    2 days ago I loaded 2 US$50 gift cards into my Apple iTunes account. This morning I received an emailed iTunes receipt $49.99 for a free application, World War (merchant Storm8, LLC) and 800 World War Honor points. I checked my purchase history and found another charge from yesterday for US$34.97 for another 500 Honor points (in-app purchase).
    Trolling these forums I found many people claiming the same thing happened to them with other in-app purchases. My question is how were our accounts compromised. I'm sure Apple will deny all culpability after they ban Storm8 from selling on the iTunes store. I remember something like this happening in June/July 2010...
    I filed a complaint with iTunes support @ http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ and with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (http://www.ic3.gov). Perhaps if enough people complain, the FBI will come knocking on Apple's door.
    In Apple's defense, they did immediately disable my account. Funny thing is, after they disabled my account they they told me to log in and verify my purchase history. They thought the fraudulent purchase might have been an accidental on my part. I guess Apple didn't read the part in my support email that I filed a complaint with the BFI Cyber Crime division. LOL.

  • How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

  • So i redeemed my money onto itunes but i wanted to get a game from app store but my money is on itunes how do i get that money on app store?

    so i redeemed my money onto itunes but i wanted to get a game from app store but my money is on itunes how do i get that money on app store?

    Is this in the US store? How much is the credit that you have on your account? How much does the app cost?
    The US store prices do not include the local sales taxes added in the final steps of the sale. If you do not have enough credit to cover the total the system asks for a credit card to cover the remaining balance.

  • Can't login to App Store on more than one device

    Since resetting my Apple ID password I now cannot fully login to get downloads for apps etc in the App Store. I have to revert to downloading on my PC they syncing, very frustrated with this one, I've tried everything including doing a full power down and restarting, resetting my password again, checking the time is correct, all the crap that the apple cust services suggested. Absolutely drained with it all!
    both are running latest ios
    on the phone I tap settings/itunes & App Store /Apple ID sign out, then tap password to sign in, so far so good.
    GOto to the App Store and tap any free app, click install and then all I get is the blue spinning circle
    this is on wifi and cellular
    when I do the above on my iPad it's slightly different
    tap settings/itunes & App Store. I don't have the option to sign out because it never is signed n. I tap the password and enter it, tap the sign in and the sign in text goes from blue to grey, then back to blue. That's all it does, keep tapping away at sign in but it won't.
    Apple customer services are taking me on a long circular journey of despair and quite frankly they hadn't got a clue how to understand my issue nor resolve it.
    any suggestions welcomed

    adding info...
      trying to log in to itunes on either computer I get a 1008 error message.
      on machine runs sophos antivirus, the other avast.  disabling antivirus has no effect.
      no 3rd party firewall is running.
      repair disk permissions had no effect.
      removing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*  and com.apple.mobile.iTunes.store.plist* had no effect.
      changed computer name in Computer sharing, no effect.
    any ideas?
    got the 10.8 update from the app store when it came out though i hadn't applied it, catch 22 prevents me from updating the system to see if that helps.

  • I was chatting live with Apple Support less than 24 hours ago.  Now, I can't find how to re-establish the chat connection.  Do I look in iTunes, App Store ...?

    I was chatting with support last night about a download error for a movie rental and now I can't find the link for the chat support.  iTunes, App Store, or someplace else?

  • Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ?

    Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ? Cheers

    I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

  • ı try to re-download my purchased apps app store asked for money from me again

    I try to re-download my purchased apps from app store. app store asked for money from me again

    you can go to expresslane.apple.com and select itunes>store>purchices, billing and redemption> select apple id account billing. it will ask you to tell more about the issue, type there what u typed here, if you can include song names you have tried, select your counrty and click continue, itll give you a few options, select email to contact itunes store department directly; the more info you can give them the faster itll be, like the media titles (or if available the order numbers in the recipt u get in ur email) if you choose call in option they should be able to contact itunes for you but its really just a middle man between you and itunes (no phone number for them) and they wont always contact them for you if you havent tried expresslane.apple.com yet; good luck!

Just a moment back I topped up again and my iTunes & App store started working. Like what the heck! I thought it was free & i was only downloading free apps. Can anyone help me?

    Well thank you for your reply. But my data plan did not run out. But still I am unsure about this as today without using it I have lost more money of my balance. Thank you once again. Really appreciate it.

  • ITunes App store down? Maybe something significant happening at Apple?

    iTunes app store (purchase or updates) has been down (via iPhone access or computer WiFi) since last night (12+) hours.
    I am in Southern California, so it is the U.S. version I am referring to.
    I can't help but wonder, indeed hope, they are preparing something big like maybe a software update to fix some of the issues with the 3G (like maybe, a working 3G network phone, OS that permits apps vetted by Apple to crash our phone, etc.).
    It is the first time I have seen iTunes app store down for more than a few moments.

    I wasn't able to view the Free Apps on I-Tunes but I was able to view all Apps.
    I have stop downloading or updating Apps because I believe all the problems everyone including myself are having with the I-Phone all has to do with the Apps because I have never had any problems with my phone or I-Tunes until I started to get Apps. I have the G2 I-Phone and since putting Apps on my phone I have reception problems, Phone crashing, Speaker problems, phone Freezing up, alot of drop calls, ETC. I could go on and on but since I have removed almost all of my Apps bringing the phone back to its normal state a lot of the problems I was haing are disappearing and even the I-tunes back up that would take up to an hour to complete is back to almost normal of about 3 - 5 minutes
    I hope Apple discovered the culprit to all the phone problems are coming from the apps and the program they had us installed to use these apps

  • Smart family iCloud/apple id/iTunes/Apps Store setup?

    Currently, we have the following setup:
    Apple ID 1: (gen.appleid), used for:
    Mac App Store for all compurers (desktops & laptops)
    iOS App Store purchasing on Mom & Dad accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices
    Apple Developer / Apple Seed
    iTunes purchases on central OS X Server Computer including Match. This central server runsalways and can be accesses on all iOS devices for Remote, and from AppleTV. Mom and Dad thus have a full copy of their Music library on each account on each desktop
    iTunes purchases on Mom & Dad OS X accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices.
    Used as general Apple ID by Dad (e.g. find my iPhone etc)
    Used for Home Sharing
    Apple ID 2: (mom.appleid), used for:
    Nothing specific yet
    Apple ID 3: (dad.appleid), used for:
    Nothing specific yet, an not even sure it exists already
    Apple ID 3: (child1.appleid), used for:
    iOS App Store purchases of child 1, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
    iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 1
    Apple ID 4: (child4.appleid), used for:
    iOS App Store purchases of child 2, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
    iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 2 (each child has his/her separate iTunes Library with apps & music and own iOS Device(s)
    All iOS devices are synced with their owner's OSX account.
    User accounts are accounts with Portable  Home Directories so everybody can log in on any deskotp/laptop at home and away and get his/her own home directory there. Very nice, even if PHD syncing is not extremely robust.
    This is a bit of a mess.
    Mom & Dads photo's are separated, but they should be shared. There are two cameras, one used by Mom, and one by Dad and the photo's are in each account and sharing is a pain (and duplicates a lot)
    Mom & Dad keep separate full copies of the large iTunes database. These are synched/matched via the gen.appleid account, but it takes up a lot of space.The large iTunes Library has one copy on the central server and two on each desktop.
    All the other iCloud things are not used (e.g. calendar syncing etc.)
    What is a good setup and how can I get their from this setup?

    I assume you are all using one ID at the moment ([email protected]) for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and iTunes.
    If your husband created his own ID ([email protected]) and your daughter her own ([email protected]), then you could do the following.
    iCloud. Each of you use your own address, this keeps your contacts, calendars, photos, documents etc seperate, it also gives you all your own 5GB of cloud space for this data and back ups of your devices.
    iMessage. If you want to see your daughters messages, then I'd suggest you and your daughter logs in with [email protected] and your husband with [email protected]
    FaceTime. You can't really monitor FaceTime by sharing an ID, so I'd suggest you all log in to FaceTime with your own ID's.
    iTunes & App Stores. I'd suggest you all use [email protected], that way you all have use of the existing purchases of apps, music, books etc.
    In order to share your calendars, there are two ways.
    1. You (or/and vice versa) could use the share feature in the calendar app (Tap calendars at the bottom of the calendar screen, then tap the i next to the calendar you want to share and add your husband to the shared section on the next page).
    2. You (or/and vice versa) can add [email protected] to your device as a secondary iCloud account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars), this allows you to share mail, calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, which you can enable individually as you wish.

  • App Store Searches vs. iTunes App Store searches

    Why do searches suck so bad on the App Store and return COMPLETELY different results than searches on the iTunes App store? Not only that, they don't even return a tenth of the apps available!

    hmm, so the mac app store is different than the itunes app store and not synced with each other? that explains a lot, thank you!
    maybe they should name it something different?
    or explain better that it has nothing to do with iTunes App Store, and that these apps are not for any ipod/itouch/ipad device, and strictly for the computer?
    Confusing at first, but now that you've explained it, I get it.
