My 8 year old just bought a £150 app on our ipad!

Try an app - called Applock to prevent your kids from changing any settings or making any purchases in future !!

Thanks for that tip, but the problem is solved and they can still get apps and I can still see what is being downloaded. All is good.

If Apple managed wallets then you wouldn't have to leave it in a public place for it to be raided.

How's that?

Hands up anyone who reads full t's & c's every time they install an apple upgrade? For IOS7 it was 94 pages wasn't it? What the t's & c's don't say is that once logged in to itunes your login will stay valid for 15 minutes, it also doesn't say that £150 apps will pop up as featured as you browse the free ones, and that by clicking on one of the paid apps to see what it's about it will immediately begin to install without asking again for password or any other form of card security, and then charge you even if you cancel the download immediately.

The Ts and Cs do say that actually I'm afraid.

But anyway, I wasn't sticking the boot in to you, I was informing the poster who said that Apple should state that they store card details that that they do state that.

Yes it's in the Ts and Cs, which are a lot to read you are right, but it is there, along with the point that you aren't required to enter your password if you have entered it in the last 15 minutes. It's our choice to read or not read the Ts and Cs and I can be as guilty as the next person.

Glad you got your money back. Before Apple allowed you to redownload songs as a matter of course I had to ask them to let me do it after I lost a drive and hadn't backed them up. They didn't need to do it and I had ignored the advice to back up the tracks, but they were good enough to let me do it so that and your refund shows that they aren't all that bad all the time.

Thanks Alec, I might even go have a read later! How refreshing for someone to make a valid point and not using it as a put down at the same time, it's something I'm not used to on this site anymore.
