I heard Windows Phones are much better suited for morons. And if going to the ACCOUNT page and clicking on CHANGE PAYMENT is not fucking obvious to you, you clearly are a moron.
No you didn't. You can drop the lies, you're only fooling people who automatically assume you're correct without checking.
In defense of the previous poster, he tried to open an account with an _invalid_ credit card, and Apple does indeed insist that a credit card must be valid. He may have completely missed that having _no_ credit card is OK, but if you enter a credit card, it must be valid.
That reminds me of the often repeated insistence that Apple requires you to provide an email address to download iTunes - when you only needed one when you had the "send me news by email" option checked.
Will my son get his gift card money back? I doubt it.
Apple sent out offers to refund any and all in-app purchases anyone thought were inappropriate a year ago the first time they settled this (the class-action suit). They contacted you both via email to the address registered to the affected account, and by physical mail to the physical address registered to the account. I think you missed the boat.
Ahh, you are assuming he didn't make the whole thing up.
But they do. I have a record of everything in my cart, live. It's visible in my cart, I can see it.
And you have the same thing in the "purchased items" page of the iTunes store. Even before the download ended. Do you have any actual problems apart from hating Apple?
The app devs were forced to add those features because Apple was taking some serious heat from angry people who were tricked by apps that had none of those features.
The game can not hide the fact that an actual purchase is going to take place.
1. I'm an android user, not a Apple user.
2. Multiple people have given stories like this, and I've used a few 'kid' games as relaxing entertainment that pulled stuff like geekoid mentioned, and while as a scam-aware adult I recognize the ploys, I don't expect everybody to.
Wait, you've seen games like this on Android and thus stories about it being true on iOS must be true?
"In app purchases clearly say that they cost something. $0.99 for more energy or whatever you're buying."
false... unless Apple has made some changes.
There where a lot of games geared towards young children that had in app purchase that just look liked you were playing.
The were in indistinguishable as spending money to any young person. Like a game where you op[en chests, but every once in a while one of the chest would cost money and the user would get a message like 'The will cost 399 star points, do you want it?" Bang, yo are dinged for 3.99 in an email 2 days later.
That the purchase and receipt are not temporally related. How hard is it to email an order acceptance, rather than waiting for the financials to be processed?
You want an email for every single song you buy? Right when you buy it? Annoying you with a "you've got new mail" message sound when you are still looking around in the store?
Would you also want Target to give you a new receipt whenever you put something in your shopping cart?
Giving the kid a ball and ignoring them is good parenting, but handing them an educational game on an iPad and ignoring them is horrible parenting? Apple owes you a clue.
So now you want Apple to pay for the windows your kid broke with the ball?
1) allow you to create an account with out FORCING you to enter a valid Credit card.
I just created an ApplieID to update my mac. Guess what, it absolutely refused to allow me to move forward without a credit card number. Why? So i could download the free updates using the "app store"?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 - "Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card"
The first hit from Googleing "creating apple id without credit card" - which is the third suggestion after typing "creating ap". Jesus, that was hard.
But why didn't you have an AppleID from registering your Mac in the first place? Too paranoid?
No doubt Mavericks improves upon at least a few things, but there are definite problems with it. I hit the ARP issue (http://www.macstadium.com/blog/osx-10-9-mavericks-bugs/), which made the application I was using (VMWare View) unusable.
So Apple's "bug" is to do what others have been doing for ages? Take this 8 year old bug report - and weep for the bug fix is actually what Apple supposedly does wrong now.
If a dynamic ARP entry expires at the Cisco router, the router will not broadcast its ARP request again, but, for efficiency purposes, it will unicast the ARP request to the Ethernet address mapped to the IP address in the expiring ARP entry. When this Ethernet address is of a secondary interface in the Load Balancing interface group of the Netware host, the Netware host will not respond to the ARP request. This behaviour of the NetWare ARP implementation is not consistent with the standard (see ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/std/std37.txt), but, if it would reply, the Cisco router would always forward IP datagrams to the same interface, which defeats the purpose of inbound Load Balancing.
fix
CISCO IOS version 12.1.20 will delete the former dynamic ARP entry and broadcast the ARP request after it timed out on waiting for the reply to the unicasted ARP request.
Keep in mind that Apple has a very secretive culture. I could easily believe that there is a group that works with the NSA but that is not generally known.
Hell, most employees hadn't heard of the iPhone before it was announced. How difficult would it be to have a group inside Apple that did these things and not have anybody outside of those employees know about it?
If anybody at Apple had given the NSA a backdoor in the iPhone - why would they develop software to get into iPhones more than a year later?
Slashdot Mirror
So why don't you force yourself to see what you purchased from Apple? Do you suffer from selective self-forceing syndrome?
How do I remove a credit card?
I heard Windows Phones are much better suited for morons. And if going to the ACCOUNT page and clicking on CHANGE PAYMENT is not fucking obvious to you, you clearly are a moron.
I'm forced to review the list before every purchase is processed in Target.
So Target's stormtroopers force you to? Why don't you hate Target?
I'm forced to review the list before every purchase is processed in Target. Apple has no such checks.
So you want Apple to show its users a list of every purchase they ever made at all times. Why do you hate users?
See if you can follow this -
You have already proven you can't. Which is the only thing you have proven.
No you didn't. You can drop the lies, you're only fooling people who automatically assume you're correct without checking.

Not saying it's true, saying I believe others who've stated it.
Oh, so you also believe the Moon landing was a hoax.
IOW, no you don't have any evidence for what you claimed.
But they do. I have a record of everything in my cart, live. It's visible in my cart, I can see it.

Care to provide some evidence?
Yeah, and when credit cards were new, people assumed they didn't pay with real money when they used them.
That the purchase and receipt are not temporally related. How hard is it to email an order acceptance, rather than waiting for the financials to be processed?

So me and 15,062 people have a similar issue then?
I know, me and 15K people are wrong?
That's not much compared to 575 million iTunes accounts (last June).
needs both to help it be disconnected from in game cash that may use an $
Prove that it can.

that screen shot should have USD or other in front of the price.
Because an 8 year old will know what "USD" means, but that "$" means real money?
When I buy an app and discover it is a steaming turd, I should be able to click to remove it and get a refund within 15 minutes.
You mean like on Google Play? Oh, no, wait - There is no 15-minute refund period [for In-app purchases] - all refunds are at the discretion of the developer

Like RSA they will just keep denying it and hope there is nothing to directly contradict them.
You're projecting again. Only in your case the facts do contradict your claims.

Let's not forget why Android wasn't mentioned in that article: the information is from 2008, when no Android phones were available to the public.
