Why did apple charge me more than the price listed for the app?

My iTunes gift card was purchased in the US with US dollars. The price listed is in US dollars. The amount taken from my credit is not what was listed on the price. I am quite angry about this deception. And I can't possibly be the only one to have had this happen.
Here is what happened:
I had $19.82 in credit. All credit had been purchased in the US, normally, with US legal tender.
I clicked a button stating clearly $9.99 and now I have $9.06 in credit. So I've paid $10.76 for something sold to me as costing $9.99.
It's not about the difference, it's about the fact that I've been charged a price not disclosed beforehand and have no recourse now. How many other people have been cheated this little bit from each of their purchases?
Does anyone know someone I can file a claim with?

See quote below from Apple terms and conditions.
Your total price will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you download the product. We will charge tax only in states where digital goods are taxable.

ITunes charged me more than the app price...

This may look stupid, but I bought an app today, valued at $0.99 but I was charged $1.00!
Even though the difference is minimal, just imagine if they do that for every single purchase.
How much more money will they make?
And I can bet this extra amount won't be computed when paying the developer.
This is lare scale rip off!!!

You should report a problem. To do that, you should go into your purchase history, and where the mentioned purchase appears, click on the "Report a Problem" button. After that just follow the instructions.

Why is Verizon charging $50 more than Apple?

Somebody care to explain to me exactly why Verizon is charging $50 more than Apple themselves for each model of the Verizon iPhone?
Seriously, I'd love to hear the reasoning.
I'm upgrade ineligible but use Macs for my business so I've accepted that I can't get an early upgrade, even though VZW has selectively chosen who they'll give discounts or rebates to. We've been with Verizon for 10+ years and are loyal customers. Regardless, I've accepted it and have planned on paying full retail since day one.
So rather than whining and saying that it's a slap in the face that they won't give me an early upgrade- I won't. WHAT I will say though is that charging $50 more per phone when they know full and well that the vast majority of buyers at full retail WILL be upgrade ineligible, loyal customers, now THAT is a slap in the face.
Think $50 isn't much when you're already spending X amount on the retail price of the phone? Consider that when pricing the 16GB at $649 through Verizon and THEN adding sales tax, you're not far off at all from the 32GB version via Apple.
I don't mind spending a few extra $'s if I'm going to get something from it. I don't like spending another $50 because the corporate suits say "Let's charge a little more because upgrade ineligible customers WILL pay whatever we want and LIKE IT".
If you want the Verion iPhone bad enough, vote with your wallets, give your money DIRECTLY to Apple and save your $50.
Or maybe someone here, or better yet, a Verizon rep can enlighten me on why I should just hand over that extra $50.

If you are already a VZW customer, go to this link, underneath the device description, click on "Check your iPhone 4 eligibility" and type in your info. If you're not eligible for an early upgrade it will show the the full retail price if you buy now and, it will also show you the price and date when you are eligible for the reduced price.
If you are eligible for an ugrade, I'm not sure if it still shows the full retail price.

And yes, we all full understand the ins and outs of the business world. However, Apple is pretty strict about how much you can charge for their products. That aside, if in fact the pre-order can only be done on Verizon's site on Feb 3rd, and they are not giving loyal customers any type of discount, sure would be nice if they could keep the retail price the same for us. Especially when they know that the majority of those purchasing at full retail will be existing customers. Besides, we're talking about a "reputable business" with Verizon, not Ebay or Craigslist.
In case you're wondering why I think the majority of people paying full retail will be existing, non-upgrade eligible customers? It's simple, a new customer could get the discount price, and cancel a couple months in, eat the ETF and it would still be cheaper than the full retail cost.

HT4759 Why did apple support Windows better than Mac in iCloud?

From your point of view and the framing of your question, Apple does indeed support WIndows better than Mac for the limited issue of iCloud.

...YET, Leopard and Snow Leopard are NOT iCloud compatible. How can that be justified? Obviously, Apple can make iCloud available to Snow Leopard, but disdains us...
Historically speaking, Apple has rarely gone backwards in its OS development. Once they have released a new OS with new technology, I can only think of one example of when they backtracked: They released TrueType technology in System 7 and then released System 6.0.8, which included TrueType technology for continuing System 6 users.
So it is part of their culture to move forward and not backwards. Other examples:
• Inclusion of the then novel SONY 3.5" disk drive in its release of the first Macintosh (and not the industry standard 5.25" drive); after its use in the Lisa and adoption for the Apple II series of computers.
• Elimination of the floppy drive completely in the release of the first iMac.
• Use of then novel AAC audio compression as "state of the art" compression for the iPod release in 2001 instead of the outdated mp3 standard.
• Refusal to allow use of FLASH in iPod Touch/iPhone/iPads.
How could they justify these decisions? The marketplace justified them for Apple!
So, yes, they could release 10.6.9 with iCloud support. But why now, if not then?

HT204088 App charged me more than the price it showed?

what should I do if an app I downloaded charged me more than the price it showed? I downloaded an angry birds app for my son that said it was 0.99 and they charged me $10.98! Is there any way I can cancel the purchase and recover my money?

Your son probably inadvertently made an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features; in the case of Angry Birds, things like "Mighty Eagles". First, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
Good luck.

Why did apple charge my credit card 3x 3$?

I only bought one app for 1$ and apple charged me 3$ three times, that sums up to 9$ for one deal? Why did this happen?
And no, I got no e-mail about giving my info and so on, I never do that.

You can report the problem here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
Confirmation emails from Apple regarding a purchase from the iTunes Store can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours.
If this was an In-App purchase, turn off subscriptions until the issue is resolved.

Why did iDVD 6 take more than 14 hours to encode 24 minutes of video?

Hello,
This is my first post here and even being a total Mac beginner it surprised me when idvd 06 took more than 14 hours to encode and burn a 24 minute imovie project to dvd. Does anybody know WHY this happened? I bought this machine to do nothing but video editing, but if this is the way it's going to be I will have no choice but to return it to the store and try something else. I have an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz 17"/160GB/250GB external/1GB RAM
I hope somebody can explain what happened, because the capture/edit/create dvd process was a breeze, and I used the "Best Performance" option.
Thanks
Luis

Round here we spell 'idiot' as 'inexperienced'
Encoding/rendering is the same whether you 'save as disk image' or straight to a burn via iDVD, less of course the burn time which comes later. BTW, I use Toast 7 to burn, not disk utility. More options. Burn time, including 'verification' is about 50% of the running time, or a little less.
The main advantage of saving to a disk image is that you can burn as many copies as you like from it without having to re-encode from scratch. This becomes ultra-important when it is a wedding video that every relative and their dog want a copy of!
I have a G5 iMac, not as fast as a dual Intel machine, but does what I want. My son has a Macbook Pro (Intel). The main difference is that an iMac can house a much bigger hard disk that a Macbook.
I can't say for sure, but I simply assume that a desktop Mac is faster than a portable laptop, even if they have the same processor. (200 Level 4 contributors will now pile in to tell me that I must be nuts.) Just my gut feeling. But yes, a Mac Pro will be faster than anything else - one of the reasons they are twice the price (and no monitor).
If you are going to do video editing for a living then use a Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro. If it is a hobby, an Imac with the biggest hard disk it can take and lots of RAM will easily suffice. The choice of software is yours.
And while we are it: burn at the slowest speed you can, 2x or 4x, a slow burn gives a better burn! Also, use decent media. I have never had a 'coaster' from Verbatim or Fuji DVD-R, but lots from all other brands I have tried. Others here say Maxell are also very good.
Most of all: HAVE FUN!

Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID. Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine? I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
To create an Apple ID you need to enter your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

Why did apple take out YouTube in the new iOS update!!!

I am so mad that apple took out their YouTube I don't even want this phone anymore I'm not even kidding when I say this if apple brings back theirs I will be very happy but as of right now I do not want to own this phone

Yeah, Apple is distancing themselves from Google (you may have noticed the maps app in iOS 6 is now an Apple product, no longer Google). But Google does have their own YouTube app available in the app store, which you can download for free. Don't think there's any reason to trash your phone.

Why did 4Chan Elite get taken off the App Store?

This really irks me. I read that it was taken down because of "innapropriate user generated content". If you take down 4Chan Elite because of user content, you may as well take down Safari too. The app is clearly marked 17+. I want to know why it was taken down and if there will be a time when it will be put back up.
Thank you for your time.

Ten days and still no reply. Thanks, Apple. It's companies like you and EA that make me think you guys are only in it for the money. I payed $2.99 for this dn app and no refund. But it doesn't matter anymore because I jailbroke my iPod and got the app back. Looks like you lost a customer.

Why does blast internet cost more than the tv/internet

This is absolutely ridiculous. I am paying twice as much for twice as less. I don't have other choices of ISPs in my areas otherwise I'd leave immediately. I have had constant disconnections with Xfinity several service calls and no resolution. This is one of the worst ISPs I have ever had to deal with and they have the balls to charge a ridiculous price where as in other parts of the world they pay 15$ for 10x the speed I have.

I have never received a private message from you. Today is 8/11/15 and I am still having connectivity issues. Three technicians were sent to my home none resolved the issues. You people have failed the Comcast Guarantee and I have not received the 40$ that's part of that guarantee. I visited the service center near me because I have not received any help from any of your communication methods. When I went there I was rudely greeted by Gina who told me the service center only provides modems and refused to talk to me. The situation was so surreal the manager had to stop helping his customer to assist me and make an appointment with a 4th technician. I have also been promised callbacks from supervisors and never received them. Throughout this time you people have lied to me constantly and made it extremely inconvenient and time consuming to even attempt to resolve my issue. I have never been treated so horribly as a customer in my entire life. I even filed a report with the FCC but your Executive Relations person Christina M. had the ticket closed even though I still am having connectivity issues. Two of the technicians gave me their # and email yet I cannot send any email to them because comcast servers refuse to complete the request and none of the phone # work.

Why Did apple charge me for my iPhone 5 Pre-order?

I was charged $110.88 by apple today, and I thought that apple only charged you once your order shipped. I ordered an iPhone 5 and AppleCare+.
Any ideas?

As Simmm said, Apple only charges once your order ships. I believe AT&T works as you describe - charge you immediately for your entire order.

Can I create more than 1 edit layout for web apps?

I have a client who would like to make a web app item to 2 clients in turn, and have them each update a separate part of the item - like an agreement.
We can change the permissions ok, but I cant seem to get the item to update from the list views or any other view aside from the ?A=Edit page. Is this not possible then? Is there a work around? eg add a new item form and make it update an existing item, or any other variation?
I was hoping to put the edit/update page into 2 separate pages, each one with different fields available, and just make these pages available when appropriate.
Thank you!

I appear to have bumped into the same ?limitation?

Why did Apple choose O2 as their carrier in the UK????

Why did Apple choose O2 to be the carrier in the UK when their 3G network is truly awful?
I get 1 bar of signal on 3G most of the time
Wouldn't it have been more useful for Apple to sign with 3 as they are the main 3G carrier in the UK?

I am using my Italian, unlocked, iPhone here in UK with Orange. Coverage is mostly OK and orange has got EDGE when 3G is not available.
I have heard funny stories about O2 coverage but that has nothing to do with the iPhone itselfit is just the network.
I found the T-Mobile site very useful where you can punch 3 postcodes where you mostly are and it will tell you what data and voice coverage you have.
O2 has a similar service but I am told by fellow iPhone users that is not reliable.
Not very useful to have unlimited data if you don't have coverage but you can pop into a cafe and they for sure will have Wifi that you can use.
