Why did I get charged again for items I have already purchased?

Why did I get charged again for items I have already purchased?

My theory is that because the original appleID wasn't an email, they're making you switch to it when you update to iOS5.  So that creates essentially a new appleID and it isn't recognized as the one that originally made all your purchases.  Sign out of the Store and then sign in using your old ID and it should do the trick.
The other alternative is to sync your apps rather than reinstalling them....if you can.  Hope the phone service helps.

  • HT3702 why did i get charged three times for the same purchase? is it because i use my apple id on three devices.. two iphones, and ipad... and and macbook geez apple i support you enough can i just pay for one copy of the audiobook

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : 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

  • Why did I get charged for the gift card from the student deal with macbook pro?

    Why did I get charged for the $100 gift card student deal that came with the macbook pro? I was told that it would be taken credited off my credit card however; that has not happened. Am I missing something? Have other people been charged for this as well?

    The same thing happened to me but it made sense.
    I ordered a MBPR on Jun 12 for $2879 which qualified for the free student gift card. The gift card was available to ship (delivers June 20 - June 21) but the MBPR wasn't available until a month later (deliverys July 3 - July 10). Instead of holding the gift card until the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $100 for the card then shipped it to me.
    About a month later when the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $2779 then shipped it. In the end, I was charged the correct amount $2779 + $100 = $2879.
    Why did Apple do this? I suspect that some people have cheated Apple by ordering a Mac to get the promotional gift card then canceled their order after the gift card was spent. Apple is trying to protect itself.
    BTW, if you return the mac then you're expected to return the gift card. If you've spent any amount of the card then Apple will deduct this from your refund.

  • HT201272 Why did I get charged for dowloading music to my iPhone that I already purchased?

    Why did I get charged for dowloading music to my iPhone that I already purchased on my PC?

    Thanks for the response!
    Since I only have one AppleID and since I'm sitting at the computer showing the previously purchased songs, I'm guessing your third response is the accurate.  I logged onto iTunes Store and "reported a problem" with the two songs and am awating their reply.
    I'm guessing that it's something I did (or didn't do) when I downloaded the songs from iTunes Store to my iPhone.  I forgot to synch these two songs from my PC to my iPhone before travelling.  However, I noticed that the two songs were listed on my iPhone iTunes application in a playlist called "recently purchased."  I clicked on the two songs and they were downloaded to my iPhone (which I would expect); I then received an email receipt for the charges for the songs (which I didn't expect.)

  • Why did i get charged a $5 late fee when I just recieved my bill?

    Why did i get charged a $5 late fee when I just recieved my bill?

        Oh, that's strange! Your bill should be due approximately the same time each month. It seems like this charge is referring to a bill that we didn't receive payment for last month. Make sure to check all charges at vzw.com and review all the payments were made.

  • Why did I get charged

    Why did I get charged for touch apps from the app store when I have a creative cloud account?

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud forum.
    From our Creative Cloud FAQ - http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html?promoid=KBGUE please see the following:
    What is the Adobe Touch App offer that is available to Creative Cloud members?
    Commercial or education customers who sign up for an annual membership to Creative Cloud or who buy a 12-month prepaid card at a retailer or online store will be eligible for a free month of Creative Cloud when they sign into Creative Cloud from three qualifying Adobe Touch Apps from the Android Market or Apple App Store. Qualifying apps include Adobe Collage, Adobe Debut, Adobe Ideas, Adobe Kuler®, Adobe Photoshop Touch, and Adobe Proto.
    Customers who purchase an annual membership directly from Adobe and qualify for this offer will not be charged for the month of service after sign-in from their third Touch App. Qualifying members will be notified of their free month within 60 days.
    Customers who purchase a 12-month prepaid card from a retailer or online store and qualify for this offer will have one month added to the duration of their membership, and thus receive a total of 13 months of access. Qualifying members will be notified of their free month within 60 days.

  • HT201303 Did we get charge twice for the same movie? pre order one twice by mistake

    Did we get charge twice for the same movie?  pre order one twice by mistake, what can I do to avoid double charge?

    Hello bruistopher,
    I can’t wait to get my hands on a iPhone 6 for myself. If I purchased and received a product, then noticed another authorization in my bank account, I am sure I would be just as concerned. I apologize if this has inconvenienced you in any way, and I would be happy to look into this for you more.
    When ordering a product off BestBuy.com, typically you should see an initial authorization when you place the order for us to ensure there are sufficient funds. Then once the product ships, the authorization would become an actual charge to your method of payment. I looked into your order and confirmed the estimated arrival date of 12/05/2014, just as your email stated. It appears something may have been missed in updating the status of your order.
    I have already reached out to my support team to look into this further. I will likely provide you with any updates via private message. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.
    Thanks for your loyalty!

    Why did I get a 2011 model ipad when I just purchased it from apple?

    If you ordered an "iPad 2" (as shown in your profile), that model was created in 2011. The current model is called "iPad with Retina Display" (or "iPad 4" colloquially).

    I upgraded a level in a game and ended up getting charged twice for it. Who do I contact to resolve that? (Or am I just out the extra money?)

  • I have an AppleTV. A while ago, I bought the first 4 seasons of Downton Abbey. Have been slowly working my way through them. Tonight, Apple wants to charge me for shows I've already purchased. How can I watch what I already own?

    Why can't I wtch what I've already purchased - an episode in season three of a series for which I bought the first 4 seasons?

  • Why did I get charged 7 dollars to exchange an item?

    So, I ordered Game of Thrones Season 1 from Bestbuy. I paid 12 dollars for shipping to get it quickly. They messed up my order and I got Season 2 instead. I went to my local Bestbuy to get it and the girl there said that I owed 7 dollars for some reason. I was in a rush and didn't have much time, so I just paid. I'm kind of mad because I don't think I should have paid that. /: 

    Good afternoon thenerdal,
    Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting your issue with your Game of Thrones order! As someone who is thrilled to have this show being part of my Sunday night routine, I can understand why you would be in such a rush to get your hands on the first season. I’m sorry to hear that you seemed to have received the second season my mistake.
    Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to review the receipts and your order. Due to the manner in which the store performed the exchange, unfortunately it appears you were charged the difference between season one on Blu-ray and season two on DVD.
    That being said, I was also able to review your order, and have some further information for you that I am going to share with you via private message. You can check your private messages by signing into the forum and clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Why did I get charged 7 times for a purchase I made over a week ago?

    I made an itunes purchase over a week over for about $23 and all of a sudden today I have seven charges for that same amount in my bank account.  Is this an iTunes error or something i should check w/my bank on?  This has never happened to me before...

    Check your purchase history.
