  • HT1918 Why is my debit card being charged for iTune purchases when my account is set up with my Amex card

    Why is my debit card being charged for iTunes purchases when my iTunes account is set up with my Amex card?

    Login to the account on iTunes and under payment info, select none for the credit card. iTunes is supposed to use gift cards and store credit over credit cards but it doesn't.

  • HT3702 why is my credit card being charged, i only use itune cards .you are charging my itune card and my credit card

    why is my credit card being charged, i only use itune cards .you are charging my itune card and my credit card

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. If you add or change your credit card details then you will probably receive a temporary holding charge ($1), which should disappear within a few days (holding charges). If it's not a holding charge then you can contact iTunes support and ask for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT1918 why is my credit card being charged when i have money from an itunes card

    why is my credit card being charged when i have money from an itunes card

    When its around the holiday season the purchasing system some times gets a lil thrown off and wont recognize the gift card on the account. But its easy to get fixed.
    Just contact iTunes uspport with this link and they will revert the charges to the gift card:

  • HT201303 Can't update free app without putting credit card information? Why?

    Cannot update free app without updating my credit card information! Says I am using new device to connect with app store ? This is not true as I'm using and have always been using my I phone. And why do I need to provide credit card info for free app?

    Change your payment information to none on your iphone, goto settings > store  , tap on your apple ID , tap view account , tap payment type , change to none.
    This is all provided that you don't owe itunes any monies, if so then attach a credit card or itunes gift card and pay your arrears.
    Free app or paid app, you will not be able to use your apple id until you settle one of the above.

    The "LocalAccount" is "On My Mac" and doesn't correspond to an account on a mail server. That all I can tell you from the information provided.

  • Any time I open Safari i get a popup for myvdrive? why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off.

    why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off. Also it pops up any time that I click anywhere to do anything in safari. Please help.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this.  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    I just started getting the error message below, when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this."  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
    or  other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
    box with your user name.
    There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
    that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
    downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
    those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
    and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
    You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
    Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
    I'd be looking them up one way or another.
    There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
    listed  (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
    Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
    •Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Doing a 30 minute video created 15 Gigabyte of Internet usage. Why? And how can I stop this!

    Created a small, simple 30 minute video. Burned a few CDs. Downloaded one (1) sound track (a few MB). Internet usage soared to an unbelievable 15 GB!
    All data, files, etc on my PC, yet Premiere Elements used the Internet constantly, especially when burning CDs.
    Why? There was nothing to upload or download (except 1 sound track). This maxed my Internet allowance, and has cost me a lot of cash for extra capacity.
    How can I stop this data gluttony.
    Or do I have to junk a new, expensive program? (Premiere Elements 13.

    Contacted support.
    They say that this is 'impossible'!!!
    Went for Option 2. Accept one-time waste of Internet capacity. Write it off to painful experience. Junked Premiere Elements 13.
    Problem solved.

  • Trying to update my apps but saying my credit card was denied. Updating free apps so why is it trying to charge my credit card?

    I recently got notification that I have 4 app updates but when I try to update it says to verify my credit card information which I do but says it comes back as declined. Why would it try to pull funds for free app updates?

    If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
    You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

  • Why am I being charged for a free app download?

    11/17/11
    APL*APPLE ITUNE866-712-7753
    $5.16
    Posted Transactions
    I have been charged $5.16 for the installation of the Pandora Radio app which is supposed to be free. I already had it downloaded but it stopped working so I deleted it and redownload it and now checked my bank statement showing that it charged me for that download. I would like to be reimbursed and have Apple fix whatever kinks need to be fixed on the Pandora app so that this does not occur again in the future. Please advise on the reason for this transaction.
    Thank you!
    Kind Regards,
    Your loyal customer Allison Rapetti

    You've wandered into a forum which has nothing to do with your problem, and in any case these forums are user-to-user - you're not talking to Apple, and no-one on here can help you.
    You should contact iTunes Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column. In the third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.
