Why do i get charged $1.00 to my credit card just for signing up an Apple ID?
I have to put in my credit card information in order to create my Apple ID so I did. And when i checked my bank account it says "ITUNES MUSIC STORE AUSTRALIA" charged for $1.00. And I'm sure that was for signing up the apple ID because I've never put my card information to any apple ID before. Please help. I know it's not a big money here in Australia but it certainly is in my home country. I want to know why it got deducted and if any possible to get refund
Apple puts an authorization hold on a credit card when it's entered to check that it's valid; this isn't a charge and should disappear after a few days. If it doesn't, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

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 does my credit car decline when I'm trying to review my credit card details? I'm trying to creat and finish my apple login but it keeps saying declined. Does Apple charge credit cards just for registering a credit card??
Just to add to AnaMusic's list:
Does Apple charge credit cards just for registering a credit card??
Yes, Apple will validate the credit card, when you are setting up the account information for an Apple ID. The credit card must be valid in the country of the store, that you are trying to buy from. And the card you are using must neither be blocked by the issuer of the card nor by the Apple for store services.
The error message you are citing is misleading: The error message could either mean
that you are using the wrong type of card (Are you using a debit card or a credit card?)
that the AppeID or the credit card you are using has been blocked for security reasons,
or that you are encountering a store error, because you are trying to use the iTunes Store or AppStore from a country, where it is not yet supported. -
Hi,
I have an iTouch. I'd like to download some free apps. but I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again. -

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 -

My guess is that you rented an HD version of the movie, which probably costs $1 than the SD version.

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 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. -
Why did i get charge 37 for lion
Why did I get charged $37.17 for lion OS?
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. -

HT1933 why am i getting charges on my credit card when iu am not buying anything?
why am i getting charges on my credit card when i am not buying anything?
First, if you're using an iOS device, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If you find that these were in-app purchases, 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.
If the charges are not in-app purchases that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.

HT1918 How do I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit balance?
My credit card is offering me a $5 statement credit if I spend at least $5 on iTunes. Problem is I have a large credit balance - how can I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit?
If you have a balance on your iTunes account then that will automatically be used for purchases before your credit card will be - you can't change how items are billed.
You could try gifting items to yourself, you can only gift via a credit card (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift items to yourself)
