My chid has a Ipod and I keep getting charges from his apps why?

I have my child on the family Icloud, it's a shared payment method and I have it set up were he has to ask me to use it. There is no way he knows my password, so I don't understand how I keep getting charges that I never okayed there have now been up to $35.00 worth of charges. Any one know why this is and how can I get it to stop?

Verify that you have Ask To Buy set up correctly and test it with a free app.

Also, what age/birthdate did you specify when you set up the child's account?
Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.

I am trying to drag songs from iTunes library to my iPod and I keep getting red circle like it's telling me it's not possible. Help please.

I'm trying to help a friend who has a PC. She bought some songs, put them in her library and then tried to drag them to her iPod, but she keeps getting the red "NO' circle. Why is this happening? I thought all she had to do was drag the song to her iPod?

Hi there,
It sound like she may have automatic syncing enabled. I would recommend reviewing the process for syncing media with iTunes.

How do I keep getting charged for free apps

Hi I keep getting charged for downloading free game apps for my son. Why is this
I've been charged about £33.00 now for all different games that are ment to be free

It sounds like your son made in app purchases. These are very common with free games.
The games themselves are free, but the app developers offer in app purchases in order to add enhancements or add levels, and things like that. Stay away from those "free" games or read the app description carefully. The prices for in app purchases are listed on the left side of the app description page under the app icon.
You can turn off in app purchases in Settings>General>Restrictions. Or you can instruct your son to not make any purchases without your knowledge. In all fairness to your son .. Since I have no idea how old he is .... He may not even realize that he did make purchases .... Except for the fact that you have to enter your Apple ID password in order to make those purchases.

I am trying to update my iPod touches and keep getting an error message saying iTunes could not back up my iPod because a session could not be started. I have followed all trouble shooting advice found on the apple website, unplugged and replugged the device, restarted my computer, etc. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have the same issue, except I can't even sync.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

My Safari isn't responding and I keep getting the rainbow pinwheel. Why is this happening?

I'll open Safari and go to my usual pages, however now when I open it and it's trying to load my homepage, it doesn't really load and then I get the rainbow pinwheel and it just does that until I get fed up and try to close the window. I have tried quitting Safrai in an attempt to kind of re-boot it, but that doesn't do much and instead I have to force quit because the application isn't responding. I have chrome now and this seems to be working perfectly fine, however I like how my Safrai is setup and I don't want to waste time customizing any new browsers.
Also, I have gone through and eliminated cookies and tried to cleam up my safrai but that didn't really do anything.
Any suggestions?

Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data

Ipad 3 on ios 6.0.1 wont activate imessage, icloud and facetime. And i wont get notifications FROM ANY APP WHATSOEVER!!

I recently updated my ipad 3 to ios 6.0.1 and there are a **** lot of problems. My imessage and facetime wont activate - it keeps saying couldnt sign in check ur net connection. And safari sometimes says it couldnt open the sight because it couldnt connect to the server. My net is going perfectly fine but ios isnt. And then i wont get push notifications for any app, no matter wat i do. Ive restored it twice, but nothings working watsoever. If anyone has any idea how i can sign in to imsg, facetime and icloud or get my notifications to come plzzz do tell me i cant find a solution anywhere!!!!!!!!
And apple u really need to fix these problems in the next update!!!!
Thank u.

hi there,
i think i know whats wrong. one thing you could do is: try holding the home butoon and the power button together and shut down the ipad. you have to press both of them together!!! then to switch it back on, do the same thing again. it should start up. if it still doesnt work, you could try going to setttings, then "notifications" and turn on notifications for the apps you want. About safari, if it doesnt work from step 1, you could go to wifi or cellular and just reconnect your ipad to the internet.

I bought a pre-owned iPhone and I keep getting iMessages from their Facebook account

It's constant annoying messages about every comment and every like. When I click on the link it tells me I have to sign into their account, which I obviously can't do. Help?!

Sorry no, more than likely you bought a stolen phone, especially if you can't contact the seller.
Apple can't do anything to help you wipe or remove.

I have al applications and downloads blocked, and I keep getting charged for new downloads.

I have my account settings set up to block all downloads. I just noticed that I am still being charged for downloads that are happening to my phone. My phone doesn't even have the downloads that I am being charged for. Why is my account being charged for downloads and why aren't the blocks preventing these fraudulent downloads anyway?

I finally got a hold of tech support and they are taking care of this.
Thanks@!

I am backing up my ipod but it keeps getting stuck. how do i fix this ?

I have been having probloms with my ipod touch. 1. it says i have 0gbs but i had 1gb a month ago and i have not bought any apps or music since then. 2 I was backing up my ipod and it keeps getting stuck. please help.

-Then you look for it the old fashioned way, that same if you lost your wallet
- For it to appear wifi has to be on and connected. If the iPod is restored then it will always say offline.
- Report to police and change the passwords for all account used on the iPod.
- Apple will do nothing

I keep gettin updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update all it starts the update and then pops up and tells me that the application cannot be downloaded at this time. I have had to delete a few apps bc this isn't working.

I keep getting updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update it starts the process but then a message pops up that says the download cannot be done at this time. I have had to delete a few apps because of this. I have also signed out and signed back into my account and turned my phone on and off and still does the same thing. Help!

Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.

My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.

As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
Try talking first

Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.
