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 does it take so long to download the Epson driver update?

App Store asked me to update my Epson printer software to 2.15.1 and I clicked OK... That was over an hour ago and it's not even at 3.6MB of the 39.7MB!!! It's giving me that crap about "7 hours and 3 minutes remaining".
What's interesting is that just a few minutes before downloading this update, I downloaded IOS 7 and iTunes 11 in under 1 minute... Is there anyway I can find out where am I downloading this update from and what's causing it to go so slow?

They're around 400 - 500MB each, so it depends on the speed of your internet connection.
After iOS 5 is released updates should be much smaller though.

I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

HT204053 Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 2.1 Computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I am no longer able to renew my MobileMe account, Why? Maybe I should look into PC Computers in the future!

Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks

MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:

Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
Regards.

HT3209 Why does apple not allow me to download an hd movie to my pc? Why doesnt apple get it that I simply want to download a hd movie to my computer so that I can repeatedly watch the hd movie via apple tv to my pc as opposed to using isp bandwidth?

See title.

This does not answer you question as to "why does apple", because for some reason Apple will treat us like children and try to do everything for you. An unrelated example would be trying to change the IP address of an Airport Extreme Base Station. You cannot. It will always grab the first IP in your subnet whether you like it or not. OK I digress. What I can say is that iTunes, in it's infinite wisdom, will look at your display and decide whether it will playback a HD movie (minimum 1280x800). If not, based upon display settings, it will refuse you the HD download. The "why" I cannot answer other than if you buy the HD movie on any other device like your iPhone 4 or iPad, you cannot share it from your library. So, maybe they get to sell more copies of the movie? That's my best guess. I've been an Apple guy since I first bought my Apple IIe. But honestly, I fume at them for being entirely non-responsive to their customers. Another example is the loss of the scroll arrows starting in OS Lion. Despite thousands and maybe millions of customer complaints, they refuse to listen. (Wow, I feel so much better...)

Why won't my iTunes open after downloading the 11.1 update?

After downloading the 11.1 update, my iTunes won't bother in opening. I click on the app on my Mac, and after just one bounce, it does not respond. I have tried turning my computer on and off, but it still won't respond. I'm really worried since I have about 13GB of music in my iTunes, and I really don't want to lose all that music. Please, try to help me! Thank you.

I'm having the same problem Kyrabashi's having, and did try to open iTunes from Applications folder. Icon bounces once, sadly, then nothing happens. I've obviously tried rebooting laptop, etc., with no effect. Anybody have an idea?

App store will not let me download the free Yosemite because a family member has already done so. Can I get it under family share?

I went to download the free version of OS X Yosemite, and when I clicked the "free" button a message appears saying that a family member has already downloaded it and the only option I have is to buy it. Can I access the free version through family share? If i leave family share can I download the free version?

We don't want you to leave your family!
I think that the best thing would be preparing an USB loader of the Yosemite installer and then use it for new installation process.

Why does apple need my password to fix my broken ipod classic?

Took my ipod in to curry's to be repaired and the shop assistant told me that apple needed my apple id and password for repairs, why is this?

Yep. 76 others. I'm the 77th one straight off of the assembly line.
As for plan A, there never was one.
Actually, it was a username/alias I had originally just thrown together when I first signed up. I had no idea I would stick around this long.

Why does Apple need to charge for feature updates, but Sony doesn't?

Ok, so I know all about the subscription-based accounting reasons for why Apple has to charge a nominal fee for firmware updates that provide new features to the iPod touch (but not iPhone).
I don't have a problem with this fee, and personally think its quite reasonable, and am happy to pay it.
However, I'm curious as to why Apple has to charge for these updates, but Sony doesn't - and I've not been able to find a reason.
Since the release of both Sony's PSP and PS3 video game consoles, Sony have frequently released firmware updates that add many minor and some very significant new features to both consoles, as Apple have done with the iPod touch.
However, Sony has never charged for these new features. Does anyone really know why there's this difference?

You better believe that any company doing business in the US has to follow US laws. You don't get to just say, oh well we have our headquarters in another country so we can do what we want in yours. Hehe I am pretty sure diplomatic immunity doesn't come with selling something in the US. The accounting reason is a sham. Apple knows that their customers are desperate for "coolness" and will sacrifice features and customer service and pay for that privelege.
What really gets me is that I already bought the January update. The only thing 2.0 adds is the "priveledge" of paying Apple to buy applications. So of course I bought the 2.0 update because I am an idiot and now my audiobooks will not play. Will they support it no. I buy an update from them, it screws up my ipod and then I can't even call or email to get some help. Instead I have to travel an hour to the nearest Apple store. I recently bought my first iPod but after all the horrendous experiences I have had with their lack of support and idiotic "geniuses" at the genius bar, I will never buy another apple product. Which is too bad because they have the most elegant and fun to use interfaces. However, I would rather have something a bit less elegant but that I can get service on without a 3 hour time commitment on my part.

Why does Apple need to keep me from connecting my Iphone on my home computer and my work computer?

I travel alot for work and the fact that I can't dock my Iphone until I get home or that I have to email work pictures to my self from home to work because Apple can't trust people with their own content is really, really annoying.
What are you doing Apple? Are you trying to upset your clientel? Is it too hard for you to believe that I have a home computer and a laptop? Of which, you sell all of the the above, but if they were to be able to interact with each........no, no, that would just make too much sense.

HT4352 Why does Apple TV 3rd Gen keep dropping the Home Share connection after 3 to 30 minutes

I've successfully set up the Apple TV3 and it works a dream - for a short while. Then for some reason it disconnects and I have to go back ot the iMAC holding the iTunes Libarary, turn off Home Share then turn it on again and SOMETIMES the problem is corrected for a short while (anything from 3 -30 minutes) then I have to start all over again. Its really frustrating!!. The Apple TV and iTunes are running the most up to date software, there firewall on the iMac is disabled and the router is running its latest firmware. My local Apple authorized supplier can't help - all they suggested was changing the apple password, re-entering it on all devices and trying again - this hasn't work. I'll try any solution though the final one might be to take it back for a refund because it doesn't do what it was sold to do!

I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?
