Why is apple charging me for free apps

has apple bein hacked l8tly bkoz iv ben getting charged for free thngs nw we kant even get nethng without it costing.

How do you mean? What does happen is that Apple puts a $1 hold on  your account for free apps. That $1 is then refunded so the free app is still free.
Another thing, many/most free apps are rife with in app purchases. Is it possible that's what's happening?

  • Apple Charging me for Free Apps! ***!

    Ok so this is the 2nd time in past 2 weeks that iTunes charged me twice for free apps! I know what i'm doing and i've been a member from last 2 and half years and i never had this kind of issue and i know which apps i bought already i also know that where to click Free and Buy button. I was downloading free app i mean clicked the Free button and after 2 mins i got a msg on my cell phone that i've been charged around $2.50 from itunes and this happened twice. Please guys dont even think about replying me with stupid suggestion that you are mistaking and bla bla free button and buy button etc. whenever i click Free button to download it takes me to my billing page and insist me to put my code when i put they charge. So it means the are ripping our money by making us fool for free apps now? i can mistake once but not twice. It has happened same with my friend and i did'nt believed her first and told her that she's mistaken but she was right. I want my money back!

    Can I know why iTunes charged me for free apps?

    How much is the 'charge' ? You aren't charged for downloading free apps (though some then allow you to make in-app purchases in them).
    Did you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you did then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge ($1 or approximate local equivalent) may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

  • Why does the app store try to charge me for free apps?

    I am trying to download free apps and I keep getting sent to my account settings page. Is my phone trying to charge me for free apps?

    You most likely do not have a valid form of payment entered in your Apple ID. The valid form of payment is required to download free apps or purchase apps. If the app is free you will not be charged. You can enter a credit card as a valid form of payment. If you don't want to use a credit card or don't have one, you can purchase an iTunes gift card and use that as your valid form of payment.

    why is apple charging me for stuff i didnt buy in itunes.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    You've checked the purchase history on your account ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    If there are things on it which you haven't purchased, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made them, then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Will Apple charge me on free apps(no in apps)

    Will it,I am worried.

    I'm not sure what you are worried about, but free apps are free. There is no charge for a free app. If you make in-app purchases using that app - whatever app it is, then you will be charged for those.

  • Why Did apple charge me for my iPhone 5 Pre-order?

    I was charged $110.88 by apple today, and I thought that apple only charged you once your order shipped. I ordered an iPhone 5 and AppleCare+.
    Any ideas?

    As Simmm said, Apple only charges once your order ships.  I believe AT&T works as you describe - charge you immediately for your entire order.

  • I think I'm being charged for free apps?

    Hi...I'm wondering, if there is any such thing as someone being charged to for free apps? I've been looking at my banking statements for  the past few months & it looks like I'm being charged for apps that I downloaded for free. I recently lost my credit card & had to get a new one. When, I changed my credit card information on Itunes, that's when I noticed I was being charged. I often download music on Itunes & upload my magazines to my Ipad,but these aren't only things I'm being charged for. Most of the apps I download are the free ones. It makes me not want to update my apps, because I know I'm charged. Please help me!

    I have solved the problem I was showing negative balance in my bank so iTunes needs to verify my account by taking £1.00 every app.

  • 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.

  • I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
    If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.
