Thief downloads free iPhone apps

My iPhone (amongst other items) got stolen some weeks back. It was an old iPhone, iCloud/Find my iPhone was not installed. It now seems that someone is downloading free apps from my apple ID, I can see new apps popping up in the purchase history on my iPad. I had changed my apple password straight away. Is there any chance to track the gadget based on that? If not, how can I stop that stuff the guy is downloading appearing in my purchase history? 

Also, in iTunes they are now listed on wither side of the apps. Macworld did a little writeup (the change is very recent):

  • I have downloaded free iPhone app but it doesn't sync to my iPhone 3G.

    I've downloaded whatsapp app for iPhone on my iTunes.
    When I sync my iPhone 3G to iMac, the message "unknown error occurred" and unable to sync this app to my iPhone.
    FYI the error (0xE8008001) is accompanied with error message.
    However, when I try to re-download this app on iTunes, it clearly shows I've downloaded this app already.
    Can you help fix this problem?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Downloading Aussie iPhone App with US iTunes Store

    Hello.. I am an American currently living in Australia. We have a US iTunes account since we move around and originate from there. I'm trying to download a free iPhone app from the iTunes store but it is only available in the Australia iTunes store. Does anyone know a work around for pulling a free app from another country's iTunes store into a device synched with the US store?
    Rob

    You'll need to open up a second account in the Australian iTunes Store. If you only want the free iPhone apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical.
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

    I'm trying to download free viber app, and I m obliged to submit my credit card informations, is that necessary?

    Are you saying that iTunes needs your credit card number to be able to download the app? If so you can give your credit card number to iTunes/Apple.
    If you don't want to submit a credit card (number), here is how to download the app without a credit card.

  • Charged for Free iPhone Apps?

    I just got an iPhone yesterday and I downloaded some free applications from the App Store, but when I went to look at my bank account there was two charges from the App Store. Unless there is some fee for creating an account, these charges are entirely unwarranted as I have not downloaded any applications that are not free.
    Can anyone shed some light as to why this might have happened, or point me in the direction of someone who can help me?

    Having had 4 charges reversed, I can say with confidence that the appstore has some significant loopholes which developers can exploit.
    Here are the issues
    1. Developers can change the name of the app at will
    2. Apple do not keep a log of the "names" a particular app assumes over time
    3. When an app's name is changed by the developer, Apples rewrites all the databases with the new name thus no record is left with the old name
    4. Although Apple maintains an unique identifier for every app, that is not visible to the iphone user.
    So here is what happened to me.
    The developer had a free app by name "A". I had in the past downloaded this app multiple times. A few weeks back developer changed the name of the app to "B" and added a new paid app and gave it the name "A" !!
    Last week I went searching in App Store because I had reinstalled my iphone and wanted to get back the my old app called "A". when i searched for it two apps showed up both A and B. while B was free, A was now 4.99. I was confused, so I went back to my past emails from itunes and found the Order receipt from itunes which says I bought app "A" for free. So I assumed that i can buy A free eventhough it now cost 4.99 because I had downloaded it in the past. But Apple sent me a bill for 4.99 because the app I thought was app A was infact a new app and the developer had secretly changed the name of old app A to app B.
    More interesting stuff happened when I disputed the charge. All the apple agents I spoke to was disputing my claim that in the past I had purchased app A for free because their records show that the app I purchased for free was app B. Now I asked apple representative Patrick from app store billing to send me the old receipt and surprisingly apple has erased the receipt with the new data, so in place of app A it now shows app B.
    You see were it goes.
    So if i want to make money, I should just buy a fairely popular free app from a developer, change its name to something obsure. Now release a useless highly priced paid app and give it the old name of the free app. Now clueless customers will redownload this app thinking they wont be charged since they already had it will be stuck with the bill.
    Apple u need to fix it.!!!

    Iam trying to download books for the kindle from the library and I found out I need the free android app to transfer files to my iPad.  I tried to download the app,but wasn't  by safari.  What do I do now

    You can't run android apps on iOS devices.
    If you need access to kindle format books, download the kindle app from the Apple App Store.
    You cannot own load files, apps from the Internet.

  • Downloaded (free) CalenMob app to sync to google calendar, and it only shows my calendar entries but not the entries of my coworkers I share the calendar with. How do I sync to google calendar so I can see the entries of people I share my calendar with?

    I downloaded the free CalenMob app to sync phone with shared google calednar at work, but I can only see the calendar entries of some of my coworkers but not all - even though all of our calendars are shared.  Is CalenMob the best app to use for syncing to google calendar? Do I need to enter the coworkers' gmail account info onto my phone in order for their calendar entries to show up on my phone calendar?

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Where do I store and download for IPhone Apps and Computer Apps?

    I'm feeling like a dinosaur in not understanding how to download and store apps for my iphone and those that I may DEMO or buy for my computer.
    For instance I have started syncing the iPhone to the MacBookPro so that this is easy when I am traveling. Now the MacBookPro is in the shop and I'd like to d/l an app for the iPhone. Can I do this on the MacPro which I am using now? If so, do I go directly to the Mac App Store do I open some App program on my MacPro? Do I have to d/l this app from my phone or MacBookPro only? I don't get this.
    Also, I called in for Aperture support the other day and didn't have any info on this software that I bought. I guess I downloaded a demo from some Mac Computer App store and then paid for the App after running the Demo? Then this information is stored somewhere different from having downloaded the Software directly without a demo or from another site or from some app on my MacPro?
    Something of a newbie here so any straightening out on how this works now and (perhaps) how it may work differently in IOS 5 or Lion would be really wonderful.
    Thanks.

    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, then the current contetn will be erased and reaplaqced with content from the new computer.
    "If so, do I go directly to the Mac App Store do I open some App program on my MacPro? "
    The Mac app  store has NOTHING at all to do with iphone.  it is for buyong apps for your computer ONLY, NOT iphone.
    You can download apps from the itunes app store on your iphone or on your computer.  Your choice.

  • Error while downloading iPhone app updates

    Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
    Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

    I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
    Did you find a solution yet?
    I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.
