Mauled by Lion: all my MS Office apps now UNUSEABLE. Can I get my money back from Apple, who didn't bother telling me before I purchased?

Apple NEVER BOTHERED TO SAY THAT ALL POWERPC APPS DO NOT WORK ON LION.
Now I cannot open any of my Word/Excel/PPT docs.
HOW DO I GET MY MONEY BACK?

Hello:
From your post, you must be using Office 2004 (I was) and the version is only supported under OS X 10.6 and earlier.  The reason is that Rosetta is not included in OS X 10.7.  Out of curiosity, why do you blame Apple for the fact that a seven year old MICROSOFT software release does not work on Apple's new operating system?  Microsoft's later releases (Office 2008 and 2011) do run, I understand, under OS X 10.7.  I decided to not buy the pricey software and am using Apple's iWork instead.

  • HT4098 How can I get my money back from app store when I did not renew my app

    I didn't not renew the app that I never really use and now the apple store charge me from my card. How can I get my money back and what number I should call because I totally lost at apple store and don't know what to do. This is really frustrated that apple have this kind of customer service... could someone help?

    These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen).
    If the apps aren't working as described in the store then you could the report a problem link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

  • How can I get my money back from a recent app?

    YES I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK PLEASE, I AM NOT SATISFY WITH THIS APP.

    The terms clearly state that there are no refunds. You can try to contact the app store and see if they will make an exception, but do not expect it.
    And please, typing in all caps is considered shouting - we can hear you just fine. And FYI, we are just users like you here; you are not addressing Apple.

  • HT4009 can i get my money back from an app

    The app was misleading . After I purchased it it did the same thing. Didn't work.
    May I please get my money back for it.

    You are not addressing Apple here. Apps are normally sold as is with no refund, at least on the iTunes side of things. Try and contact the app developer and see what they have to say. You can contact iTunes support by going to the link at the bottom of the page in the App store in iTunes.

  • I accidently unistalled my office apps. How can I get them back??

    I accidently uninstalled my office apps. How can I get them back? 

    Hi Deanne,
    When you deleted the apps, did you also empty the trash bin. IF NOT, It could be possible to move the apps back from the trash bin to your applications folder and your done. Otherwise do you possibly have a backup of your computer on time machine or other 3rd party backup software?
    If you don't have a backup and you emptied your trash bin, the simplest way to reinstall is to use the reinstall disc and then run all the updates again.
    Good Luck,
    Matt

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
    are you PC or Mac?

  • I bought a $15 app GTA Vice City a while ago and I just started using it and it doesn't work. I checked all the requirements and my laptop meets all of them. I also have contacted Rockstar Games and they didn't help. Can I get my money back? Its annoying.

    Hi...
    Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" >  iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    But since you are not getting any help from the developer, you can use the email form to contact Apple and ask for a refund >  Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support.
    No guarantees.

  • Yesterday i downloaded lion osx for 23 euros,it already was on my mac but apple took my money ???how can i get my money back ??

    i finally bought a Mac a few days ago but it doesn't seem so easy to start .Yesterday i decided to download the last version of osx (10.4.7 ?)but it took too much time to be obvious...tomorrow i can see that the version i bought already was on the hd when i payed for it first...how can i get my money back ?

    Hi..
    Since you just purchased the Mac, it can pre installed with Lion.
    Yesterday i decided to download the last version of osx (10.4.7 ?
    v10.7.4 is the lastest version available for Lion currently.
    The problem is that the App Store has no way of knowing that your Mac already had Lion installed, that's why you were charged.

  • HT204266 I bought an app for 4.99 and it not the app I needed. Can I get my money back or a credit?  It didn't do what I thought it would do.

    I bought a 5 dollar app that didn't do what I understood it would do. Can I get my money back or even a credit? The app I bought I wanted it to zip a file video so I could get the video off my iPhone cause it took up all my hard drive space and it wouldn't zip a file from my phone like I understood it did. So since then I've found a free izip that did what I needed. Is there any way to get my money back and or return the app?F

    Here is a link to the return policy.

    But, no.

  • I have bought un-useful app which is an image converter app. It did not mention unsupported formats can I get my money back?

    Dear Apple support team
    I have just bought an application, it is an image converter, but it did not mention that it doesn't support a specified image formats. When I bought it I could not get any use of it because it does not dupport NTF format.
    Can I get my money back?!
    Thank you,
    Regards.

    Refunds -
    All sales are final. the App Store is not a try it and return it situation.
    Apple sometimes gives a one-time per account refund. If this is the app which you wish to use your possible one refund with use the Report a Problem link in the emailed receipt that you receive on the purchase in 24 to 48 hours to ask for the refund.
    If your purchase was in the last few weeks you may also use this link to report a problem;

  • HT204266 If an app doesnot do what it says it will, can I get my money back ?

    If I purchase an app and it doesn't work can I get my money back? How do I go about it?

    You've tried deleting and re-downloading the app, and tried contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ?  If you don't get a reply then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
