I want to buy apps online, but my credit card is from outside of ireland. If I change my location to the country my creditcard is from and buy the apps I want, my phone will not download them as they are from another 'store'. I cant seem to change the store that my phone buys apps from either. I wanted to try and buy a gift certificate instead, but I can't seem to do that either without a credit card in ireland, which I don't have.
So I come home today to see four emails from PayPal from the four payments that have been made using my App Store account, totaling $449.95. I call Apple immediately and after being on hold for nearly 50 minutes with them trying to figure this out, I'm told my App Store account is going to be closed and that they cannot reverse the charges, so I need to file a dispute with my bank (or in my case, PayPal).
I called PayPal and they did not sound very confident in me getting my money back and said Apple should be the one reversing the charges. They guided me through filing a dispute on the charges and said that is the best they can do.
Am I screwed out of my money? Here is a screenshot of what the charges were made for (there is another $49.99 charge that is not showing up here, but appears in my PayPal account history):
I never downloaded or purchased "Zynga Live Poker", nor did I buy any of the credits for the game.
I recently bought an Iphone 4S and tried creating an Apple ID but was not successful because I don't have a credit card. What I did was I just registered using my laptop and was able to create one without any credit card details. However, when I tried using it on my Iphone, it still asked for a credit card which again, I don't have. I read on some topics here that you need to initially put in your credit card details and then just change it to no credit card afterwards. How can I do that if I don't have a credit card at all. It's sad that Apple assumes ALL people have credit cards.
I logged into my ovi store account today to discover my remaining credit all gone - abut £15. The has also happened to my hubby's account so that's at least £30 missing.So when I try to contact Ovi Store about this, well I've more chance of going to moon! What an utter disgrace the so called customer services is for Ovi store. Absolutely pages and and pages of FAQs that are not even helpfully organized. All I want is a SIMPLE and PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED telephone number and email address with which to make contact.Why does this appalling company take money from people, allow it to then vanish from accounts and then not give people the simple option of reporting it.
After buying several apps in the Ovi Store using my credit card I was really surprised that Ovi Store does no longer accept my credit card because I'm not living in the US! (I'm requested to fill in a US address otherwise I cannot proceed.)
I have moved to the US and want to change my account to the US. It says that my apple ID is only valid for purchases in the UK. How do I change this? I have changed the flag at the bottom of the itunes store, but that hasn't helped.
My itunes identity, and apple store identity, on the comuter lists my new email adress. However, even after syncing, the iphone lists my username as my old email address. How do I get the iphone to use my new email for itunes and apple identity?
I redeemed my itunes card but when i tray to by something it keeps asking for my billing information. I've used it before without having to enter my billing information.
Can you create albums/folders to store photos? I noticed when you view your photos it say "albums", but the only album is the camera roll, IE all your photos.
Anyone have similar experience? I preordered 2 16GB Blacks on @ 5:15am yesterday. I received email confirmation on both Apple IDs I used, however, my store (Oak Brook, IL) does not show my reservation on the main website, but does confirm my reservation on the iPhone App? Is this sufficient backup to secure my phone on the 24th?
I have a US based credit card and I'm located in the US. All of my account info is updated with my latest address and credit card info. I can't seem to purchase anything in the store with a credit card. When I click on buy it brings up the message "Sorry. Credit Cards are not allowed at this store."
In my mobile 5800 Xpress music when I open the music store ,ovi store open. In nokia music store I had balance 42 tracks but it is unable to download due to this.
Im facing problem when trying to buy app from my app store the system tell me that my visa are used in another account but i checked my bank nothing wrong!!!
I just got my iPhone 4 and and was setting it up. It's asking me to verify my my credit card info. My credit card expired and I didn't want to renew it so now I don't have a credit card. Is there anyway to get my iTunes account activated again? Would a prepaid credit card work? I googled it but got mix responses, and after being on hold with apple for 40 knobs my phone died earlier. Anyways, I made a new account that works, but now I can't dl all the apps I already paid for on my original account.
I followed the unlocked instruction from AT&T to restore my 3GS iPhone from factory settings. After completing restoring, follow the steps to set up the phone and stuck at activation screen. I inserted AT&T SIM card and connected to iTune but still failed to activate with following error message on iTune: "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I have retry several times (including disconnect and reinsert the sim) but no luck.
i jailbroke my iphon 3gs and sedyia did not come with the jailbreak and when i go to the app store to download an app it asks me to create an account so should i create an account on a jailbroken iphone and should i download?
Was originally going to order from my AT&T small business rep tomorrow but with the rumors of no white iphone at the AT&T store; I was wondering if I am able to preorder from the Apple store. We have a foundation account; don't believe we get any discount.
I just got my iphone 4 last night and i was able to download some apps last night but today for some reason when i go to the app store from the iphone and go to the search tab it keeps saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" i am able to connect every 10th time or so...
I have an iphone 4s. Recently, it stopped working with the app store and itunes. When I try to download a new app or update an existing app, all I get is the message "waiting..." below the app. This will go on indefinitely. When I try to download a new song or podcast, it says it is downloading but it doesn't. I have tried signing out from my itunes account and signing back in, closing all apps in multitasking, and restarting my iphone. Nothing seems to fix the problem. I can still connect it to my Macbook and update / add apps and songs / podcasts that way, but it is inconvenent. I would rather be able to do these things as I should be able to... straight from my phone.
