Why does apple charge me when i buy something even though i have money in my account and i have enough to buy something with remainding money?

They Charge me for no reason

If you are purchasing a Gift Card, you need a credit card and that is charged:
Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you cannot purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit.

  • Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Free means Free....
    As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
    And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.

  • Why does Apple require ISBNs when Amazon and B&N don't?

    I'm sure this has been discussed, perhaps someone could point me to an answer.
    Why does Apple require an ISBN when Amazon and B&N's digital stores don't. In many ways this eliminated many individuals or small presses from selling their books on iTunes. Does Apple specifically not want those not alligned with pre-digital publishing to be able to sell books on iTunes? Perhaps there is something I'm missing here.

    Fabini, by the fact that I've uploaded and sold dozens of eBooks on Amazon and B&N without ISBN numbers. They both don't require them for eBooks.
    As per Amazon: “An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is not required to publish content with Kindle Direct Publishing. Once your content is published on the KDP web site, Amazon.com will assign it a 10-digit ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to the eBook, and is an identification number for the Kindle Book on Amazon.com. If you already have an ISBN for your eBook, you’ll be able to enter it during the publishing process. Do *not* use an ISBN for the print book edition.”
    As per barnesandnoble.com's PubIt!: “You do NOT need an ISBN to sell your eBook through PubIt!. If you don’t have an ISBN, just tell us that you don’t have one by answering No when prompted. In that case, Barnes & Noble will assign an internal 13-digit identifier to your title for you when you submit the title to go on sale.”
    Apple is the only of the "big three" eBook distributers that requires an ISBN and that is a bad call and reduces that "democratic" power of eBook publishing. I hope they change the policy soon. Anyone know who the best person to email about this issue would be?

  • Why does Apple charge you extra when you purchase an app from the Appstore?

    Does this usually happen? This was my first time buying something from the Appstore. I had $20.00 and i bought Infinity Blade 2 for $2.99. Now my balance is $16.83. I got charged $3.17 instead. It's not a lot more but i just want to know does this usually happen?

    That's tax.  Just like everything else we buy.

  • Why does Apple charge for spell check while MS Word offers it for free?

    I have been using MS Office for Mac until recently when I could not open PowerPoint files sent to me. I bought iWork '08 to remedy that and right after I installed it, Spell Catcher said my trial period was up and that I could buy it. Of course, I'm NOT going to buy it! I tried running a spell check in Pages but it did not pick up on all of my purposely misspelled words. Do I really have to PAY for spell checking? I am not impressed with iWork '08!
    As a side note: Does anyone notice how difficult it is to get into Discussions recently? Is it beacause of iPhone traffic?

    Spell Catcher is not something that is installed with iWork as far as I am aware, I have spell check built in to Pages and keynote and I have never seen any mention of "spell catcher"
    This is the company that makes SpellCatcher: http://www.rainmakerinc.com/
    They are not affiliated with Apple. In fact, No development has occurred since last year.

  • Why does Apple charge USD1.00 for downloading a FREE app like Hay Day on App Store?

    I just found out that Apple charged my credit card for USD1.00 for downloading a FREE app like Hay Day on my iPad. At first when I sign in using my Apple ID, I it prompted me my credit card information. I thought it was just for verification purpose only. Later today, I received atext message from my bank telling me that Apple has charged USD1.00 on my credit card. Apple... Please explain!

    They don't.   Please see the document here >>>>>>>

    As you can see, it will never actually be charged.

  • Why is itunes charging me when I don't even have a itunes account?

    I litterally JUST created this account so I could try to get some answers. I saw on my bank account that I had some charges from the apple itunes store, which I thought was strange considering I don't even own any apple products, and it turns out I have quite a few of these transactions on my bank account.
    I'm not looking for a reimbersment, just looking to see how I can stop future transactions from happening on my account.

    If you just created an account and put a credit card on it then you might just be seeing small temporary store holding charges which should disappear within a few days - if there is more than one then did you take a couple of attempts to fill them in ?

  • When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

    I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
    The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
    Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
    Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
    OS X Yosemite version 10.10
    Keynote version 6.5
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

    I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
    It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.

  • Why does Firefox remember the pages I've visited, even though I am using different computers? I've never used the sync function. I don't want my computer at work to be synched with my personal computer at home

    My computer at work remembers the pages I've visited even though I visited the pages while I was using my computer at my home. I don't know how or why this is happening, and I don't like that it is in sync with my computer at home - I have never used that function.
    For example - When I type in "the methodist hospital" into the search bar using the computer at home, all the search results come up from Google, so I click on the links and take a look around on the websites/pages. The next day, I walk into work, and I type in "the methodist hospital" again in the search bar, and when the results come up - it indicates in gray lettering that "[I] visited this page [yesterday's date]."
    Please explain why this is happening and what I must do in order for it to stop. It is scary knowing that my browsing history is remembered using 2 completely different computers. Needless to say, I don't want my boss thinking I'm just surfing the web all day at work.
    Thanks in advance!

    if i have to read any comment by matt n again i will throw up...in my mouth. i have gone all over google trying to figure out what the f ff did to me without my permission, i have updates turned off so there should be no prompting to restart, there should be a polite offer not a forced update. i am angry and so are a ton of people.
    everytime i go to a new complaint, another angry fellow ff user there is matt n with his infuriating smiling little picture...telling me about the awesome safety and security of the new ff...ignoring that a supposed safe but ugly and unusable browser is worse than a customized, beautiful, well functioning browser...with supposed safety issues. i am so angry i cannot express how this has wasted my time. i have been online for 2 hours now figuring out how to fix, apparently i cannot. my old theme is not compatible now...so i am screwed.
    good bye. if i wanted chrome i would have had chrome. but i have no choice now.

  • Why does my MacBook start typing in upper case even though Caps lock is off?

    On occasions, when typing, my MacBook starts to type in upper case even though the Caps lock is off? This is not a physical sticking of the shift key as it happens even when using a USB keyboard? I have to use the shift key kind of in reverse to revert to lowercase entry.
    I have checked settings and I cannot find anything that could be causing it.
    Really bloody annoying!
    Can anybody help.
    I have a two week old MBP w Retina Display. This did happen on my old MBP and I did restore this new MBP from my Time Capsule disk so assume I brought the problem with me so to speak.

    Do you have "sticky keys" turned on under Accessibility by accident?

  • Why does itunes as me to update my itunes even though it is up to date?

    I am attempting to transfer my music from a backup (that is corrupted) to my laptop. I grabbed the entire itunes folder and copied it to my laptop. I replaced the folder made by itunes with this one. I then proceed to open itunes and I get this error "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?". I clicked download itunes but after software update checks for any new itunes updates it finds none. What do I do to fix this?

    Download iTunes manually from Apple's web site and install that.  There's probably some residual files on your computer misinforming Software Update what version you have.
