Odd iTunes Store Hack

Ok so I have problem and no one from apple seems to want to help me. today I checked my email and there were two girdt card redemption numbers in them so when i clicked on it it took me striaght to the apple itunes account page i signed in like normal and it instantly applied two 50 redemtion codes to my account. Here is the problem I did not order them so I went into my account information page and see that my email is correct my physical address is correct but the state and city are WRONG along with the zip code also my billing information is that of a mastercard which I DO NOT HAVE  a master card i have visa. So does this mean I was hacked and who is being charged for these two gift cards? No one with apple seems to care. But i do because I have not changed my information but this information was also changed in my actual apple account. So as of right now I can order anything off of apple and it be sent to me and charged to them? How do i fix this to make sure they do not have my cc or bank account information? Help please.

The exact same thing happened to me on Monday.  Two 50.00 gift certificates were bought on my account, with a Mastercard I do not own (according to the last four digits).  They added some letters in my email address, changed my state, changed my Zip, and my phone number (Michigan).  I called Apple and they Reversed the charges to the strange CC and suspended my Itunes account. 
What scares me is that they changed all my stuff, but thank god I don't have a CC associated with my account. I just worry that who ever CC it is, the company will ask apple who's account it was on.  Then will I get blamed for this?  Apple needs to do something.  Itunes hacking is all over these support boards.

  • My Gmail linked to ITunes Store was Hacked. I can't access ITunes account!!

    My Gmail I use to access Itunes store was hacked. I can't get in to change the password, and Google is not responding. Verify steps have been changed.
    So, I want to make sure my Itunes account is protected but they must have used the email change using my Gmail to also change my password there
    HELP!

    If the password to your iTunes Store account was changed, you can try the iForgot site:
    iforgot.apple.com
    and use the "answer security questions" option. With luck, the hackers won't have thought to change those questions. You should then be able to change the password. If those questions were also changed, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Cannot connect to iTunes store, after being hacked

    A couple months ago, someone tried to hack my itunes account.  I was able to change the password and lock them out, before they changed the email address.  I changed all of my info back to what it should be, but ever since, I haven't been able to update any apps from my iphone.  I can't download new apps either.  I just get a message that says "Cannot connect to iTunes store."  I can, however, download apps, in itunes, on my PC (after having to reauthorize the PC).  Any ideas as to why I still can't download, or update, apps from my iphone?  I did check the "Can't connect to the iTunes Store" page and didn't find anything to help.  The iOS is up to date, and I do have wifi access.

    Try here >  Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    On the iPhone, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Restart your iPhone. Try connecting to the iTunes Store.

  • Hacked at itunes store , fraudulent cc charges

    I'm so disappointed in apple fraud support. Seems to be nonexistent. Frightening.
    Someone has hacked my itunes account and is making credit card charges.
    On a trip to Europe last month, my Bank America safe pass text alert would not work, even tho I had set up international text with ATT ahead of trip on my iphone.
    Someone is now charging my cc for apps.
    (I closed the cc with Bank America Visa yesterday. ) Had to pay Bank $15. to FedX a new card. Changed apple pw.
    Where are you Apple fraud support????? Is it me? I've just spent 2 hours.this  is a real problem

    When companies do a credit card transaction with a customer, they process the transaction thru the credit card company (Visa, MasterCard, whoever). If the credit card company approves the transaction, they are guaranteeing it.
    The company will get paid by the CC company, even if it is a fraudulent transaction.
    If/when you report the fraudulent transaction to the CC company, they will get in contact with the company to sort it out.
    Also, I contracted iTunes store support and was told 'tough luck', take it up with PayPal and my bank
    Paypal/your bank approved the transaction. They are the ones responsible.
    1. Why can't the fraudulent gift certificates just be canceled?
    How is anyone to know they really are "fraudulent"? Did you file a police report or a report with yoru CC company?
    2. How did this happen?
    Dunno. I never leave my cc info in my iTunes account.
    Make a purchase, add the CC details, then immediately remove them.

  • My itunes store account may be been hack

    just happen that some purchases did with out any action from me,
    the items I mean is Cartel Wars, 1000 Cartel Points, which I didn't know it.
    What can i do?
    I need my credit back and if it happen because been hacked then Apple's should try to prevent.
    Thanks

    My experience in this situation has been that's it's related to the visa card, and not necessarily the phone or the iTunes store.  In addition to verifying all of the credentials on the card as entered, I'd also check with you card bank and see if they have declined the charges due to some type of security concerns.  I have a Chase card, and they will decline a charge even though there are sufficient funds available, if the charges meet some security screening criteria.

  • Odd Behvavior in the Itunes Store...

    While I have no problem accessing the store's homepage, searching for particular recordings stalls the program. It will simply say that it is searching the store for a while and then stop. My internet connection is DSL, and I have no problem visting other web pages and downloading files. Moving between some pages and listening to certain previews works fine, but most of the time it just stalls. I really cannot find an explaination for this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Since when did this change take effect?
    April 7, 2009 in the U.S.
    Are you saying that if I lose the music I purchase now I can re-download it without having to purchase the upgraded iTunes plus song versions?
    Only if the iTunes Store staff grants you a free redownload. If not and you lose the music, you need to pay the full price for replacement.

  • Cannot open itunes store

    A problem more ppl have to deal with as i can see on this forum, but none of the info i found here helped me so far.
    When i try to open the store in Itunes on my PC (Win XP), it tries to load, but stops after a while and leaves me with a blanc screen (well, it's says 'Itunes store' in big, but i geus that's just the background). It doesn't give any errors or what so ever. besides that, my internet connection shuts down when opening Itunes . Well, it is still there, but my browser won't even open a simple website anymore. When Itunes is closed again, browser isn't a problem anymore
    My OS is up to date, i'm not using any Norton products (or did so in the past) and didn't had this problem before, only after the last update. Didn't install any significant new software that in any way should or could intervene.
    I already tried the following:
    -uninstall and re-install Itunes (latest version)
    -Uninstall and re-install all apple-products, including Itunes
    -scanned the system on virusses, mallware or any of that stuff, register-errors etc.etc.
    -check/disable firewall (well, firewalls actually)
    -check/disable proxy settings (and i don't even use a proxy)
    -deleting the Itunespref-file
    that's about all the possible solutions i found that might work, but non of them did.
    diagnostics on network (sorry, in dutch, ask if u don't understand and i'll translate. i already translated some parts which i thnk are usefull. the bottom part says that all connectivity-tests succeeded, which is odd, cause it obviously doesn't work):

    no problem accesing the store on iphone or ipad using the same network
    does anyone has some briljant ideas, cause i'm running out of them!

    ok, i'm stunnend.
    apparently there was something that resolved the issue, the store works fine now... have been hacking around on this for days, and now, just at once. only thing i did (and i did that before, naturally, it's one of the first things you trie) is disable my antivirus software. It runs perfectly with antivirus enabled now to....beats me...
    anyway: resolved!

  • HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

    A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

    It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

  • How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • Help! movies i bought in the itunes store willl not sync to my iphone

    I recently purchased rocky from the itunes store. As soon as the movie finished downloading, I attempted to put it on my iphone, but when i did this an error message appeard which said that rocky could not be copied onto my iphone because it cannot be played on my iphone. I then tryed syncing another video i bought from the itunes store, and the result was the same. Is this a problem with my iphone, or do certain movies on itunes just not play on the iphone?

    That is odd as I didn't have this problem with mine. Do the movies play on iTunes okay?

  • Snow Leopard (10.6.8) Web Browser, App Store, iTunes Store image won't finish loading.

    Hello,
    I've recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard by clean installing. Once I upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) everything seemed to work perfectly except for the new keyboard that I purchased (requires upgrade to 10.6.8). So as I upgraded to 10.6.8 by "Software Update…".
    Once the update was completed and the machine restarted I've noticed when I opened opened couple of common sites in Safari (such as: Flickr, YouTube, and Amazon) and some of the images won't finish loading with a "?" in the middle where the image would be and browser assumes that the site was done loading. First I thought this was a refresh problem so I hit refresh on the browser but nothing really happened. I thought this was strange so I decided to download Google Chrome and Firefox to try it out as well. Same situation as well… Then I opened  the App Store and iTunes Store and the same things happened there as well. I'm assuming that all these images exists online so anything that access the web to load images will just crap out. One odd thing is that this problem don't seem to happen on any of the sites on Apple when I view it in the web browsers.
    I couldn't figure out the reason so I decided to reinstall Snow Leopard (10.6.3) again by cleaning out the hard drives as before. Once it finished installing I opened up iTunes Store and Safari and the images loads fine. So went ahead (crossing my fingers) to "Software Updates…" to 10.6.8 and the the problem happened again.
    I naively went ahead and tried to clean installing it again, thinking "Third time is the charm!" But same situation once I upgrade to 10.6.8. After the third time I let the browser sit there after it didn't load those images. I waited about five minutes and hit refresh and the images loaded. This happened the same with App Store and iTunes Store images as well. This is very odd because my interment connection hasn't been a changed before I upgraded to 10.6.8. Seems like browsers just cuts off the loading time of the whatever that's lagging instead on that site.
    Is there a solution in the preferences for this or is this some kind of a bug that I'm having with my OS disc or network card? I don't think this has nothing to do with my modem or my interment service because it was working fine before I upgraded to 10.6.8.

    I get that same problem too-you could try checking your network settings, release and renew your IP address, see if that helps. There is a tweaking menu you can get in Firefox that can help somewhat (google Firefox tweaks) but you'd have to raise the hood in FF and tinker a bit, but it does help. How much RAM do you have on your Mac Pro?, also update your Java and shockwave
    sorry I can't be of more help

  • ITunes store will not open

    Hi
    I have just downloaded the latest version of iTunes (10.4?)
    Windows Vista operating on HP pavillion with Avast anti virus.
    Since then, I can not get the store to open. It starts of by accessing iTunes store with the stripey bar at the top, it then turns solid grey but only goes half way across before reverting back to the apple logo. The stores main page remains blank, apart from saying 'iTunes store'
    I have tried removing iTunes and re-installing it in the following way
    itunes
    Quick Time
    Apple software update
    Bonjour
    Apple application support
    But this has not worked.
    I have disabled my anti virus and firewall, but again, the store would not open.
    In the diagnostic it shows I am not an administrator, although I am the only account so not sure why that is the case.
    I ran diagnostic, and all was ok

    Sad news!
    It worked for one day - sort of, but now its gone again.
    I did the above and I was able to buy some songs, but I then had only 90p left from a gift card, and it asked for my card details. No matter how many times I entered them, and I even tried other cards, it just kept saying authorisation declined - there is money there though.
    Also, I could not click on any 'picture links', I had to type in names of songs etc, which I could live with.
    Today, just been on and again no iTunes.
    I really do wish apple would just work on giving decent products first time, without the need for updates to repair or resolve issues. I would contact them, but I know they are of no help whatsoever.
    Any suggestions please?!
