I have bought a movie named "The Hole" in august 2019. Apple has removed that movie from the my library and from the iTunes store. So I bought and paid for a movie, which has now completely disappeared. I have written and called with Apple several times, and they told me they can not give me the movie anymore.

They wanted to give me the amount I bought it for in rentals. I never rent so I didn't accept this. Now I am without the movie which I owned!!! Apple told me I should have downloaded the movie. 038 movies in total and there is not one computer which has a memory that big that I can download movies.

Besides that, you can only download movie in full hd, and I want to watch movies in 4k. So downloading is not an option in any way. When I buy a movie, I own it!!! Ownership is the…

I made a purchase on a game through apple App Store and the game did not deliver what I purchased. I submitted proof to the developer along with screenshots and receipts. The developer keeps telling me they apologized that I “made a mistake” and spent all of diamonds and telling me to have a great day and closing out the chat.

I spoke with Apple and they keep denying my refund request. When I talked to a representative at Apple, he told me if the developer says no, then my refund request will be denied. I have submitted proof and broke down how it is factual that I did not receive what I purchased.

Every rep I speak to with the developer gives me completely different stories. When I asked for them to provide me with facts they stated it was against the rules to tell me what I spent the…

I bought several songs from the iTunes store.

Downloaded them to my computer. But can’t play them. I get the message that it is locked and that I can’t play them on this computer.

Also, no matter how many times I input my Apple ID and password, it still does not work. Again, it locks out my computer.

IT IS A CURSE !!

Your product support people are ignorant !!!!

It looks like these problems started after the lates update to the iTunes software.

Date: Sept 03,2021 at 04:51PM at 13925 S. Virginia st, Reno NV 89511. Ph. 775-333-5460 Receipt no, : *R1861105973*

The manager in Apple store Reno was very rude and unprofessional. The iPhone 12 unlock was displaying price as $799 +tax, but the salesperson was charged as $829. I ask why, so the sale person went to ask the manger and the manager lady was explaining with proof of evidence incorrectly and I said that, it does not make any sense because i am a sprint T-mobile customer so you can't add activation fee $30 if i activate outside and then the manger lady (Sharone or sharol) start talking rudely in front of my kids and it was very unprofessional management discuss.

Thank you, 775-813-3050

I have not been able to access iTunes library of songs on my PC for some days because when I open iTunes website I am confronted with a shimmering box which prevents me from taking any action to either open or close it down and I have to shut down my computer. I have experienced the same problem some months ago.

A few years ago (2017? ) I noticed that one of my playlists would only play 4 songs while on shuffle. I tried everything suggested on Apple's website and then finally called a tech who spent hours trying to figure out the problem.

We both concluded it was an iTunes problem and she tried to download all my Apple info to look further but after TWO hours I couldn't take being in the phone any more and I gave up. I have not bought anything from the iTunes store since and I will not subscribe to Apple Music unless this problem is solved.

I had charges on my bank account from iTunes, it has happened at least 3 times, subscription change and I do not subscribe to anything currently or in the past I AM Not WORKING!!!! I get banking fees and it is damaging to my minimum means of income.

I have tried to speak with customer service, my health is not great and eye sight is poor. I have called over and over but told to go to website. Why didn’t you tell me to go to the website for the purchase.

I would never have purchased your product. I purchased and spoke to a person I am posting on Facebook how rude you people are.

99 CAD. It consisted of Lion King, Lion King 2 and Lion King 1-1/2. I noticed that the movies were no longer listed in my library. I called iTunes technical support. I was on hold for 15 minutes before the call was dropped without any response.

I called a second time, was able to contact an agent, was transferred two times before I spoke with a supervisor who "resolved" the issue - 1 hour 18 minutes time. The resolution was a lesson in how to backup my purchases.

The original provider has removed the collection from the store, so all of my purchases are gone with no option to download them again (unless I want to pay for them a second time). I took away a different lesson.

Any guesses as to what it was?

My complaint relates to an overpayment on my account No 07561708008. I was charged regular payments to ITunes for which I was not responsible. 58. The case number relating to this issue is 100845881410 Despite repeated phone calls, this money has still not arrived in my account.

94 has been refunded to my account on 1 July 2019. 58 refunded immediately, as promised. Ideally I would like the refund to be paid directly to me, rather than through O2, as I have now been waiting some months for my money to be returned to me.

This is not a small sum and if I do not receive a satisfactory response within 10 working days I shall need to take further steps.

It has turned out to be a big scam for others who continually buy games and music on my dime and account I am older and on a fixed income I don;t play games that are always charged to me and music is being fraudulently bought through my account. I have changed my Apple ID a hundred times with no relief.

THis is ridiculous that I cannot stop this activity I wish I didn't have apple ID or itunes it is a scam for me always. Someone is enjoying games and music that they are not paying for. Whoever it is they are young the games are for tweens and the music is for tweens as well.

I hope you can help me with this problem or we are going to have a bigger problem. I will fix this if you cannot I will discontinue to pay apple or itunes if it is just a rip off. Rhonda Jones

I am a college student and I have 1 account for apple ITunes and have for quite some time. I went to use my cash card at a store and it said it was declined. I went back to my dorm and figured out how to go on line to look at my account.

I found that I tunes has been double charging me and I called my bank and they said it has been happening since Dec 2017! I realize I should be watching my account closer but this is a second account for me that I only use for I tunes and an occasional purchase.

We called Apple support and they said they don't know why it happened. I do not have 2 accounts and it is not even being used! They refunded me for 2 months but this is totally unfair!! I did not sign up for 2 accounts.

No matter what I do, you will not accept either my Apple ID or my passcode. It is bloody confusing between password or passcode. All I want to do is get onto the game 1010. I am absolutely fed up with Apple products which are so confusing between passwords and passcodes all of which I have dutifully written down, but then you refuse to accept.

TELL EVERYONE I KNOW how horrible your company is. All the websites are purposely void of CLEAR FREAKING CONTACT INFORMATION - after logging in and then answering 3 more damn answers you have to search an hour to find a damn number to TRY to call and get help.

I purchased a Brand new iPad Air at Manor (Switzerland). After a couple months only it had a battery problem so I took it back for repair. The problem comes again (can't charge the iPad) so I decide to bring it to the Apple Store in Geneva about 35km from my home.

There after 5 minutes of waiting I am told I have to take an appointment, it will be only a couple minutes. 15 minutes later nothing has moved, I am still with my non-working new iPad in the hands and a staff arrogantly tells me "don't worry everything will be fine" and dismisses me.

You just don't treat your customers like that. I am still with my non-functioning iPad without proper care solution offered. PS: please train your staffs to treat their customers respectfully and to help them instead of "lecturing" them.

As I had nightmares experience from Apple support centre. 1/ I called Apple customer service on April 12 2016. My case was that I couldn't get into the Apple Store. Apple staff suggested me to connect with iTunes in order to upgrade my IPhone 6 Plus 128GB. After upgraded, the staff suggested me to press the icon for new iPhone. Before I pressed, he did not remind me that I should have my Apple ID readily available, otherwise the phone would be locked and I can't get back in. Under My unawareness and without a reminder from the Apple associate, my phone locked after I followed directions in pressing the "new iPhone" button.

I hate Apple products and I hate iTunes. I've had nothing but issues with my iPod since the very first day I got it a tried to set it up. The main reason I have an iPod is for music. My iPod is incredibly slow. It randomly deletes my music, it doesn't show my album artwork even if it does on iTunes. Half the songs won't play. I got a brand new computer and I've had issues with iTunes since I down loaded it. won't let me play my music and it kicks my out when I go into purchased music.

Apple is such a pain in transferring things over. everything is complicated and confusing. Every time I get used to iTunes u change it and I cant figure it out.

I have always been a fan of Apple products. My first computer was a Macbook which lasted me through my school years. Apart from software incompatibilities, it worked great. I have also been through several generations of iPhones with no problems. I have always found your products to be user friendly and Suri is hilarious if you ask the right questions.

It is with great regret to tell you how disappointed I was with my most recent experience with Apple computer services. Last Saturday morning, I picked up my phone to find a black screen. I pressed the home button a few times but did not get any kind of response. I tried to restart it but there was no change. Next I thought maybe the battery is dead. Upon plugging it in the phone vibrated twice like it does when power is connected.

I had a problem with my I Phone 6 plus. Firs it caused problems with my watch so customer care had me go to the Apple store and sit with the genius but not only did they erase all my pictures in my phone they said they would be lost which I found later so not true. Then I did the system update and my phone started to freeze and the top of my screen was doing all weird stuff so I called customer care again and they tried telling all these things to do and nothing worked.

So they then transferred me to a senior tech which also tried fixing my phone and his name is Joshua at ext .1136719 @ phone number 877-416-4271 and he said he had to refer to engineering to see what could be done to help me I left few messages he not only called me back neither did engineering so this $850 phone which I…

Our Standard Bank South Africa contacted me regarding these transactions. Small amount of R432-00 went through my credit card account and an amount of R5300 did not go through as a lack of funds available that time. I need to bring this to their attention as this is not fair to us.

They do not think is their fault. saying it may be oversight by their staff. i refuse to collect it. Thinking to file a complaint with Apple Care or perhaps Apple corporate offices. I contacted Apple Care on 10 Sep 15 (Case 934848556).

He was so rude an not helpful at all. I have never had a problem with Apple, but his attitude was uncalled for. Had checked my history he would have seen this problem was corrected before. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

I live in Naples, Fl and I am never able to get an appointment with the genius bar or be able to sign up for any classes. I was told I had to wait one week to meet with one of the so called geniuses.

Classes are always filled no matter how far in advance you sign up. Your interest has become in just retail and selling your products. I just purchased a new ipad and iphone. I was looking to purchase another computer as I have a 2006 desktop.
