Why did my credit card account get charged $ when I downloaded free app on phone???

Just bought my 1st iphone, I signed up for itunes and downloaded 2 free apps.  Why did my account get charged $1 preauthorization.

It's just an authorization hold and will drop off the account in a day or two.  It is not an actual charge.

  • How can you cancel credit card information my sons trying to download free apps yet credit card info keeps popping up and he can't download the app! Plz help

    Hi I got my son a  I pad mini for his Christmas first he used I tunes card which was fine then I entered my bank details to download a game you pay for now because I've entered the bank details every time he try's to down load a free game it wontlethim get it as its asking for credit card information ,
    Can somebody tell me how I can get it back to when he first got it and he could down load all the free apps. Without card information or how I can get the card information bit away thanks

    Go to settings on your device then select app store. If you tap on the email that is shown it will give you an option to view your apple ID. When you are viewing your apple ID, tap on payment method and it will show a list of credit card options. The one at the bottom should say none. If you then tap none for payment options the credit card will not be connected. If you go on to the app store again you should be able to download free apps with out any issues.
    Hope this helped!

  • Is it possible to share aps between my iPad and iPhone, I have tried several methods yet I still get charged if I download an app I already have on my iPad.  many thanks, Alex

    Is it possible to share apps from my iPad onto my new iPhone 4. I have tried several suggestions from the net but still get charged when I download an app to my phone that is already on my iPad.  Many thanks,  alex

    Greetings Alex,
    You should be able to download the exact same app from the iTunes store to a different device at no extra cost.  Its possible you might be downloading an iPad only version of an app you happen to have on your iPhone although I'm not familiar with an example of this. 
    If you are being charged:
    1. Make sure you are using the same iTunes Store account (AppleID) on both devices.  Your purchases are tied to the AppleID so if you don't use the same one to download the app that you used to buy it the first time,  you'll be charged.
    On the device you originally bought the app in question:  Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    On the device you re-downloaded and were charged on:   Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    If these AppleIDs are different then you have your answer.  You are making purchases with two different accounts so logically you've been charged twice.  Decide which AppleID you wish to use from now on and on the device which does not currently have that ID and tap on it in the Store section of the settings and login with the other AppleID.
    If these AppleIDs are the same then something is going wrong in the process.  Contact iTunes Store support email to have them take a peek: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Hope that helps.

  • Will my credit card automatically get charged each year for my subscription?

    Will my credit card automatically get charged each year to renew my subscription for the Adobe converter or can I just pay one time for a year and then cancel the subscription?

    Hi ahickner,
    You can certainly turn off auto-renewal for your subscription, so that you're not automatically charged when you subscription expires.
    Log in to Adobe.com using your Adobe ID and password.
    Click Manage Account.
    Find your subscription under Plans & Products, and click Manage.
    Turn off Auto-Renewal.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,
    Sara

  • My credit card account was charged with usd 1.00 after I downloaded a free app (bitstrips). How can I request for a credit back? This is cheating!!!

    My credit card account was charged with usd 1.00 after I downloaded a free app (bitstrips). How can I request for a credit back? This is cheating!!!

    Your card was not "charged".  Apple requested a charge hold approval.  They must submit an actual charge to the holding bank/institution within a set period (usually 5 business days) and if they don't the hold will roll off.  For free apps, they won't submit the actual charge, and the hold will roll off.  This is why you see so many people complaiing about not being able to "purchase" free apps, because the hold approval for $1.00 is rejected by their credit card company, either due to expired card, incorrect CVV, or no available credit.

  • Can i use the Apple store App without providing Bank or credit card details! all i want is free apps why do i have to give my details if im not going to spend money? can anyone help

    Do i have you submit my bank details to download a free App of the store??? someone please help

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Itunes is charging me for something my brother tried to buy, even though I didn't have the money on my account. I can't download free apps or anything cause they say I owe them 36 dollars for something I couldn't even afford.

    I was trying to download free apps, and found out Itunes wants to charge me 36 dollars for something my brother was trying to download for his Cartoon Wars game on his ipod. They charged me the money and now I can't do anything because they want the 36 dollars. Need to get these charges taken off so I can use the card again.

    Just need to find a way to get a hold of someone who can fix this.
