My young child bought over $600.00 worth of apps., is ther anyway to get the money back?

Wow!  You learned what could have been a *VERY* expensive lesson at a relatively low price.
Another poster had set an American Express account (unlimited credit, in many cases) as payment method for iTunes, and had given his iPhone to his grandson.  The grandson bought a $300 zoo-something game.  The other poster may or may not have learned from that episode.
The lesson is that children do NOT feel financial responsibility when happily clicking to get pretty pictures and fun games and "cool" songs.  That grandfather could have been $80,000 in the hole potentially if the grandson went hog-wild.
The solution is two-fold, in my humble opinion:
Buy a prepaid mastercard with a $100 limit.  Make that the payment method.  That limits loss to $100.
Supervise your cildren when they use accounts you will have to pay for.

  • HT201269 I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud.

    I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own.  I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book.  I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy.  I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

    First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.

    I would wait like a week or so after you cancelled but after that you should call their customer service and see what's going on on their end of the transaction.

  • I have collected alot of music over the years and the new update will delete all my music.  I have puchased a new computer about a year ago so the previous music that I have is not available.  Is there anyway to get the update and not lose all my music

    I have collected alot of music over the past couple years and the new update for the itouch says that it will erase all music and videos on the ipod.  Is there anyway to do the update and not lose all my music or is there a way to take all the music off my ipod and store it on my computer to put back on after the update?  Any help

    ... I have had numerous computers over the past years
    Let me guess, you have had numerous Windows computers, all of which crashed or became worthless virus-ridden junk. Happens every day, yet people think Macs are expensive.
    Anyway, you are going to need the assistance of third party utilities to extract your iPod Touch's content. See wjosten's procedure here:

  • My Windows 7 laptop had to be reset to factory settings and iTunes was wiped. I have all my songs and playlists on my iPod. Is there anyway to transfer the songs back over, but storing the number of plays I have and carrying across my playlists too?

    My laptop had a few problems and it had to be reset to factory settings. Meaning my iTunes was wiped clean and I had to reinstall it. My previous iTunes (and current iPod nano) has 13 playlists, over 2000 songs and a record of plays going back 2 years (which i would like back since a lot of my playlists are play based).
    I've followed guides online, and i've managed to get my songs from my iPod to my computer and thus onto iTunes again. But neither the play count, nor the playlists are transferring with these methods.
    Considering when I first bought this laptop I had to redo all my playlists and I KNOW how time consuming and bloody annoying it was I'd rather not do it again.
    Is there anyone that can give me a step by step guide of how to do this?
    I would GREATLY appreciate this, as at current i'm refusing to sync my iPod again as I am so desperate to cling onto the playlists and plays I have, which means no new songs...
    Please help if you can.

    The Ipod works fine.
    Battery charges regularly with the occasional glitch.
    Running iTunes 11.1.1.11
    I figured a Nano would probably connect in a simpler way than the touch, but only have a couple computers and cables to test.
    I've reinstalled iTunes, but not the full suite, and not all traces. I will attempt this, but I suspect its related to my touch. I was able to connect other iphones to my itunes without issue, using the same cable.

  • Just bought the iphone,battery dies within a day.anyway to get the apps not to run when i am not using them?

    just bought my iphone, and the battery dies within one day.  Is there anyway to get the apps not to run when i am not using them to save my battery

    Yeah. Double tap the home button and the screen will shift upwards to show all your running apps. Just press and hold one until they start 'wiggling' then press the 'no entry' like sign that appears in the top left corner of the apps. That'll close them and release the memory and resources they're taking up

  • HT203167 I bought from pocket gem a item and never received it. There told me to contact apple. The purchase was on 12/07 /12 over $9.99 I never received the item. Please put the money back on my credit card

    I bought from pocket game a item and never received it I contacted the company and the told me to contact you. I the purchase was on 12/07/12 over $9.99. I never received the item but I gat charged. Please return the money back on my credit card. Thank you

    Well here on the Apple Support Communities you are talking to other users just like yourself and not Apple. We are not able to to do anything about your credit card.
    My suggestion it to call your credit card company and ask them to deny payment. Once you have done that it will get someone attention and they will start talking to you seriously.

  • I bought a 27 inch iMac that I must constantly send to repairs. How do I get my money back?

    I bought this imac at the end of last year.
    After 3 months the screen started to get smudges all over the place, and since I work in video production, thats just something I cannot have.
    I sent my computer to get repaired, and they replaced the screen. It's been 2 months, the screen is getting burned again, and now it crashes constantly, I get the "white screen of death", it doesnt boot up, then the screen starts to flickr like a strobe light. I try again, and then the screen turns all blue, like a blue screen you get using a windows based PC. Now I luckly managed to boot it up, and came straight here, and if I manage to finish this post without it crashing again its a great deal of luck.
    I called the apple call centre, and they said that apple somehow managed to replace my screen with another defected one (yes, they actually told me that) AND that I probably also have a defected seagate hard drive that they are replacing in all the imacs bought from 2009 to 2012. They also said that its "weird" that they didnt replace it the first time it went to repairs.
    I do all my work on this computer, and I can't manage to constantly be without it to send it to repairs, and that is probably whats going to happen, till my warranty voids, then I will be the proud new owner of a 27 inch brick.
    Im extremely dissapointed at apple. I was willing to pay 2000 euros for a computer, because then I would "pay for quality" of the product, and get good service. Well the product obviously has severe problems, and the customer service is even worst. They told me all that ridiculous stuff that puts apple in a shameful position, and also shoved me aside to deal with my problem with someone else. They said the only way I could "try" and get my problem fixed, Is if I send an actual letter (because apparently people still do that) to the Apple Europe Headquarters in Ireland. I live in Portugal.
    Before the apple europe headquartes in Ireland ask me to send a pigeon to the United States, I would like to say that i'm probably never going to buy products from Apple ever again. I'm not the only person with this problem, and people close to me are having exactly the same problems and feelings twords apple. If I get my money back, maybe I will still buy my music from iTunes, that at least hasn't given me any problems...yet..

    I have some news on my situation, and some news on the problem of the screen itself.
    First, this still could be wrong, but here is a possible explanation for the screen problem:
    http://www.hardmac.com/news/2011/04/05/investigation-of-the-marks-on-the-imac-sc reen
    It seems that the mac is overly sensitive to dust, but the only dust that actually goes in, is a very thin kind that you have pretty much everywhere. Maybe the heat from the computer makes the dust stick or something, I don't know.
    Anyway, I wen't to the store where I purchased my 27'' imac, and asked to talk to the manager (it's one of those big chain stores, like best buy, but in this case its called "Fnac"). Apparently I was terrebly missinformed by pretty much everyone, including "Fnac" employees. It appears that I am in fact protected by portuguese law, and everytime I get a new component replaced, I get a new 2 year warranty for it (in Europe you always get 2 year warranty for everything, instead of 1). And, after the 3rd attempt to fix a recurring problem, I can in fact demand the money back, or a replacemement new product. There is still some glitchy stuff on that matter though. The manager said there is this problem in pretty much in every retailer everywhere - there are 2 kinds of stores that sell apple products: there are those stores that are just intermidiates between apple itself and the customer, witch means that for every product they sell, they only own a small percentage of it; and there are those who buy apple products, to resell them to their costumers. On this second kind of stores (like Fnac, and probably BestBuy and such), where they resell, they have to give you the money back because the law says so (since they own the products they sell). But Apple on the other hand doesn't allow it. So basicly, they have to give me the money back or a new product first, and then ask apple for permission and hope for the best, because if they dont give permission, the store will loose the money the product is worth.
    My problem is "kind of" solved though. Now I know that even in the worst case scenario, I can keep replacing the screens once or twice a year, witch is not really great because I'll not be able to work on it for around 2 months in every year. It's still bad for apple, and its sad that the ones who actually solved my problem was the europe consumer laws, the portuguese government, and the store. Apple, a company that at this moment makes more money then the united states, doesn't have a solution for me, and doesn't agree with the solutions the other ones gave me.
    Thanks for all your help and opinions. They gave me some perspective.
    I will still be on the lookout for more answers, and if anyone has the same problem I can use my experience to help them.

  • My ipod was stolen and things were bought off of my account and i want the money back

    Did you fail to change your password for your itunes account?
