So I logged into my AppStore account just now. I'm trying to download Meltdown which I know I purchased before but instead of the cloud and downward arrow we all know and love, I'm greeted by a button with the numbers 2.99 on it. Now I went to the Top Apps page where I know I have quite a few purchased games lingering and sure enough, all of them have their costs on the button. Now I'm sure I'm in the right store. I logged in twice and rebooted to make sure of that... Have you guys experienced this before? We're you able to resolve it? EDIT: so I tried downloading a game I know I downloaded recently and *gasp* it requested for my password... I'm tempted to try "buy"-ing a game I knew I purchased recently just to see what will happen...
It's happened to me before. I went to "buy" again and got a notice saying I had already bought it. Re-downloaded without paying again. If it bills you again just find the old email with the purchase receipt, request a refund.
Sometimes it takes about 15 min for the appstore purchased info to download. Wait a bit, it should come out if it is scary.
Wouldnt say its scary, if you click buy i bet it'll say 'you've already purchased this item, download for free ?'. If somehow it didnt then just contact Apple who could easily see if you have just bought it again as they'll refund you.
Considering how many games I've purchased since 2009, the thought of my purchase list disappearing is definitely scary...
When rebooting is the answer, won't we all be better off running Windows Phone? Wasn't iOS based on OSX which was based on Unix, which is a system that does not go down?
It's impossible to purchase the same thing twice with the same account. Once I was charged again for downloading a Kairosoft game (I don't remember which), and a couple of days later I received stating the refund, without even asking for it. (I didn't remember if I buy the game before)
This is a sign... someone shut down this forum and let's all just go do charity work with our free time instead.
One thing I have noticed is that games I've gotten with a promo code no longer sync to my iTunes on the PC, noticed this in the last few days and it's happened with a couple, going to game on the App Store gives the price instead of the cloud thing that it used to do. I just figured appled had maybe changed the system.
You can request a refund? Never knew that. If it's possible I'll request refunds for crappy apps that I buy. I'm pretty sure there is a date by which you can't get a refund anymore. ( if possible)
If you ask apple for a refund because a game is "crappy" they won't be giving it. I've asked for 2 refunds, in 3-4 years, both because Apps would not even boot up. If you ask for too many or for non compatibility issues, you won't get refunds even when you should be.
The problem fixed itself a couple of hours ago... I don't know, maybe the AppStore can't handle the number of downloads I've made along the years.
This happens every so often. Sometimes a reboot works, other times it just seems to go away with time. However, I have NEVER been charged twice for an app before, nor have I heard of anyone being double charged. Nobody has ever been better off running Windows Phone EDIT: Didn't see that the problem was fixed - it does that sometimes, glad it's working again!
I actually own a windows phone to compliment my iPad. One thing I noticed when I switched from Android is that I actually use my phone most of the time for calling and SMS than anything else... You know, like a PHONE! LOL
