Default Re: Software purchases gone awry

You are not the only person lately that has had issues with downloading software via Apple's questionable software store.

I've been buying from Itunes since it's been out. Nevery had a problem. What makes you think their software store is questionable? Or are you just another Apple hater.

Yes. I read the article. The title was "****** Users...." so people are assuming that the problem was caused by Itunes. This also probably explains why I don't have the problem - I don't use ******.

I forgot I'm not suppose to use the name of the online company that sort of acts like a bank where you PAY them and they pay their PALS.

I freely admit to disliking some things Apple, iTunes being one of those things. As both a programmer and a consumer, I consider those sorts of blunders as "questionable," regardless of the company. I was fairly anti-Steam platform for a while because of similar issues they had with game purchases.

That being said, this is clearly not an isolated issue, and if I were using iTunes to purchase anything, I would be suspending those buying habits pending an explanation of why these overcharges were happening to prevent it from happening to me.
