ITunes Hacked? Unauthorized apps.

I received this email from Apple:
Dear *******,
Your Apple ID, *******, was just used to make a purchase in 快乐棋牌 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com
to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account
for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple
When I logged on to the iTunes store, it showed 2 apps: Crazy Ants and Happy City. I did not purchase these. What should I do? I called my bank and cancelled my debit card and don't know where to go from here.
Edited to add: They also changed my address and phone number.

Well, they said they did, and I guess it was to the bogus credit card.  I responded to their email but got no response at all.  Apple bascially ***** and they even went out of their way to tell me that this was all my problem.
No one got my password via a phishing scam.  And, why was this bogus app even allowed in the store????  Why is no one prosecuting this dude who wrote the app and then charged in app credits to a stolen credit card?  How much money has this dude made off this scam??? 
Do these big companies just not care about such small amounts of money? 
I guess I just answered my own question.  They can just jack up the price on their products to cover the slight loss of income to cover the destruction of someones credit report....god, I hadn't even thought about the impact on my credit.  I guess I will now be considered a credit card thief

  • I bought a new iPad at some unauthorized dealer. They said I needed to pay to activate it, registrate it and to activate the app such as youtube, facetime, itunes and the app store. Is this true?

    Please help as I really don't know anything about this.

    No, this is NOT true at all.
    You are able to use the Youtube, iTunes, and the App Store as soon as you want without activating these Apps.
    You will need an internet connection to use these Apps though.
    *Facetime will NOT work in UAE by law.
    Facetime DOES need to be Activated.

  • Can I get a refund for an unauthorized app?!

    Can I get a refund for an unauthorized app?!

    Bunny Shooter appears to have a number of in-app purchases available, for additional levels and features within the game. Make sure your kids didn't purchase a bunch of these from within the app before you start filing complaints. If they did, then the purchases are completely legitimate as far as the iTunes Store is concerned and no refund would be due to you, nor would there have been any sort of criminal activity nor fraud occuring.
    For the future, I'd strongly suggest you turn off In-App Purchasing and probably app purchasing completely, so that your kids can't make purchases that you aren't aware of.
    Regards.

  • Changing ITunes Account for Apps

    How do I change my Itunes account for apps? When I go to update my apps, it still has my old account (my password does not work) and I have since created a new account (divorce issues). I have made a new password request for my old account and I do not get an email from Apple to do so. Everything else on my iphone is under my new account (Itunes, store, etc).
    VERY FRUSTRATING!

    How do I change my Itunes account for apps?
    You can't. Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally purchase them. Contact iTunes support & request they add the apps in question to your download queue for your new account. Explain the situation & most likely, they will do so:

  • My iPhone 4 won't let me download apps or sign into iTunes from the app

    Everytime I try and download an app I type in my password and nothing happens. If I click it again then it asks for my password again then retupe and have the same problem. It's the same when trying to log into iTunes from the app and the same when I try updating an app, If I type the password wrong then it tells me it's wrong. I've tried resetting the phone bye holding the two buttons for ten seconds but no joy? Oh and for some reason podcasts have dissapeared from my phone completely?

    Please update your profile. The iPhone 4 cannot run iOS 6.0.2
    Do you have any restrictions set?
    i.e. Settings > General > Restrictions > (Allowed Content) Apps > 4+

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

  • Some images won't load in Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store

    Since my upgrade to Mavericks, some images on Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store wont load some times. I can't figure out the source of problem, but I've tested all four apps and the same problem exists across all of them; I've also tested Chrome, Firefox and Opera to see if they are suffering from the same problem, and surprisingly enough I've found that they are not; They load images perfectly well, and I've never encountered one to not load images. I'm totally confused and frustrated, what is preventing Apple products to load images? Here are some screenshots:

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • HT2534 how do i use itunes and the app store without any credit card or gift card?

    i just got my iphone and i used to use itunes all the time before when downloading all songs were completly free, how do i use itunes and the app store to find free stuff to download without having to add a credit card or gift card with my account?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
