Someone else buying songs

I was signed into my ipad and I got an email saying that someone else was on my account from a different computer and buying songs on itunes. They bought at least 12 songs without my permission. I have no idea who is doing this. I finally got it to stop by not allowing my ipad to have access to itunes anymore. Otherwise the songs would have continued to download, one right after the other. They are songs I wouldn't never have downloaded and have never heard. How do I get my money back? And how to I bump up the security so this never happens again?

I changed the password and that didn't help, they kept spending money somehow? I had giftcards out there, so it has not reached my credit card. I called my credit card company and canceled my card. Thanks for your help. I sent a message to itunes support, but they take 24 hours to respond to you...

Have someone else buy a MB for me - Consequences

--EDIT: I didn't mean to post it here, how can I move it to 'Using your macbook'? Sorry!
Hi all,
I know some guy who works at Apple. He's got a special badge so if he comes around with me in an Apple Store, I can have 10% off. But he tells me that by going through the online store, he can have 25% off.
So basically my question is: can I use the warranty if he buys it for me thru the online store?
Because I guess he has to buy it with his name, and then if I have to use the warranty (by the time I'll be back to France so I can't have him bring it back for me... And his internship will be over) it won't be my name in their records.
A second question would be:
I know this is a user forum so there's no employee but have one of you ever done such a thing?
Thanks by advance
Take care,
Jean

The original one year warranty does not follow a person, it only follows the computer.
If the computer is registered to you (you can register it no matter who buys it), then you can enroll an AppleCare Protection Plan under your own name. This APP will follow you and the computer together.
If the computer is purchased in one country and it's home is going to be in a different country, don't register the computer until you're in the home country. When you turn on the computer for the first time, it will ask you to register but you can press Apple-q and then click the button to "skip" the registration. This will put a shortcut to register the computer into the Documents folder of the first user you create so you can register it later. When you're home, you can register the computer and then later, if you choose, purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan to extend the warranty in your home country.

When I try to buy or update an app on my ipad, a window comes up asking me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID which prevents me from buying the app. How can I get my ipad toprompt for a password using my own apple ID, like it does w/ itunes

When I try to buy or update apps, myipad asks me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID, which prevents me from buying/updating apps. But when I am buying songs on itunes, the ipad asks me for my password using MY OWN apple ID and everything works fine. HOW DO I GET MY IPAD TO REQUEST MY PASSWORD USING MY OWN apple ID WHEN I AM BUYING OR UPDATING APPS?

The apps you are trying to update were purchased with (and therfore permanently linked to) someone elses Apple ID. If you do not know the password then you need to delete the app and redownload/purchase it with your Apple ID.

I just got my apple ID on my computer, but it had someone else's ID before, it wont let me download songs I've already purchased. Even if i wanted to it wouldnt let me purchase those idems again.. what do I do?

Delete and redownload the ones that don't work if doing so is free in your country.

Hi. I was given an iPod with hundreds of songs. Now I have created my own iTunes account on my computer. Is there any way of adding my iTunes to my existing iPad (someone else's iTunes account) without losing all of the songs already on my iPod?

Hi there. I was given an iPod loaded with hundreds of songs. I have created an iTunes account on my computer. Is it possible to add the songs from my own iTunes account onto my iPod, which was created by someone else using their iTunes account, without losing all the songs on my iPod. Probably a stupid question, but I am one of the "older" generation .... Thanks

The The person who gave yo the iPod did not have the right/licence to also give you the media on the iPod. If you use it yo are stealing.
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content end Settings and set the iPod up with your media.

MY ITUNES GIFT CARD DOES NOT WORK. FOR 3 DAYS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY SONGS, AND IT DOES NOT WORK. I NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE.

THIS IS LIKE THE FOURTH TIME I AM WRITING ABOUT THIS. FOR THREE DAYS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY SONGS PAYING WITH AN ITUNES GIFT CARD, I DID SIGN IN, PUT THE CODE OF THE CARD WHERE IT SAID "REDEEM", AND IN ITUNES, NEXT TO MY SIGN IN NAME, APEAR THE $15.

PLEASE, HOW CAN I BUY THE SONGS USING MY ITUNES GIFT CARD PLAIN AND EASY??????
I NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL SOMEONE IN APPLE/ITUNES WHO REALLY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS,.
I AM WRITING FROM MASSACHUSETTS.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!

(Typing all in capitals is considered shouting, makes posts difficult to read and may mean that people are less likely to reply.)
There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?
Mats

I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

HT1373 Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else?

Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else? I recently had my laptop stolen so I no longer have iTunes backed up on a computer.

Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Someone else is authorized on my songs

There are a handfull of songs on my itunes that say they are authorized to someone else. No one else I know has my account info or access to my computer. Any ideas what I can do?

Ok, this is odd. Do you know who this person is? Is it someone in your household or a complete stranger's name that's showing up there?
Let's try deauthorizing the computers on your account (log into the store and go to your account page and you can zap all the computers there at once). Then quit iTunes and delete one of the iTunes files:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info\SC Info.sidb
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.)
Then relaunch iTunes and try to play the song again. This should ask you for the account / password information again. Enter that.
Does this clear things out? Are things working then?

Hello Jerry and welcome to the Community.
1. First posting rule: Never use someone else's thread even if you think you have exactly the same issue. You don't.
2. No two issues are ever identical. There are too many variables. ALWAYS start your own topic.
3. Not advisable and not recommended.
4. A much better way to achieve your objective is to purchase a Skype Gift Card. Details here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12197/what-is-a-skype-gift-card-and-where-can-i-buy-one?frompage=...

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Buying ibook for someone else's ipad

Is it possible to buy an ibook for someone else's ipad?

not 100% but if you go to settings and store and change the appleID from theirs to yours in which case you will make all their apps stop working
which would mean you would have to delete their ibooks app as that would no longer work
and use app store to redownload the ibook app using your appleid
buy the book and log out with your appleID in settings -> store
which of cause would make the ibook app downloaded with your appleID
stop working when
the other guys appleID is applied again where the other guy will have to redownload the ibook app to
be back to the start
so I believe it can be don but I doubt it's a good path to travel down
