Apple lets you request refunds for apps you purchase, whether you purchased them from the iPhone or iPad App Store, or the Mac App Store. This same method also lets you request refunds for digital media like videos and music you purchase from iTunes. This isn’t a no-questions-asked refund policy. Dec 26, 2016  We bought some Apple stuff from Target as well on Black Friday. Initially the return policy looked to be 30 days, but after receiving the items, the actual receipt in the box had Jan 15th, or something to that effect. Jul 11, 2018  How to get a refund for Mac App Store purchases and in-app purchases isn't clear, but it is possible within 2-7 days! If you have a problem with a Mac app you purchased from the Mac App Store, you can request a refund directly from Apple.

To return an item to Apple, sign in to your Order Listing page with your Apple ID and password.

After you sign in, you will see the items from your recent orders. Select an item to go to the order details page. From there, use the Start a Return link below your item and then click the Get Started button. On the next page, confirm the items from your order that you’d like to return and select the Initiate Your Return button.

Next, read the instructions and select the Print Return Label button to print your shipping and any required hazmat labels. If you’re shipping multiple boxes, use the Print Return Label button again to print new labels for each box. We recommend using the original packaging if you are returning a computer.

You can either schedule a pickup with the carrier or drop off the package at any of the carrier’s locations.

Puerto Rico:

  2. Visit https://ace.cbp.dhs.gov to file an Export Declaration.
  3. Follow the aforementioned instructions to initiate your return.

Bring your item to an Apple Store

You can always return the item to any U.S. Apple Store. An Apple Specialist will assist you with your return. Your refund will be processed at that time. To locate an Apple Store in your area, please refer to the Apple Retail Store Locator. Please contact your Business Team to initiate a return for orders shipped directly to your business.

If you experience a problem with music, movies, TV shows, books, or apps you purchase from iTunes or the App Store, you can request a refund directly from Apple. You'll need to have a valid reason for the request—it's not meant to be a way to get free trials or short-term use— but if you buy something by accident, buy the wrong thing, or get the wrong thing, or don't get anything, it's how you get your money back.

Note: You can only report problems on items you purchased within the last 90 days.

What happens when you report a problem

When you report a problem with an app, you're given up to six options to choose (depending on the app or in-app purchase). The option you choose for reporting an issue with an app will determine what Apple will do next. In some cases, you will submit a refund directly. In other cases, you'll be directed to the developer's website for additional support. You might be redirected back to the app or game so you can redownload it if it didn't appear on your device.

Here is a list of the problems you can report and the action it will provide:

  • I'd like to request a refund - If you aren't happy with the app or game, you can try requesting a refund. Just fill out the form describing why you would like a refund and then click Submit. It's up to Apple's discretion whether they will refund your money or not depending on the issue.
  • I didn't authorize this purchase - 'If you were charged without your authorization, we'd like to help you as soon as possible. Visit iTunes Store Support to find out which contact methods are available for immediate assistance.' The link takes you to the iTunes Store support page
  • Didn't receive or unable to find purchase within app - (for in-app purchases) 'If you're having issues with this app, please contact the app's developer directly, they may have more specific troubleshooting steps for their app. Click on the App Site button to open the developer's support page.' The link takes you to the app's website.
  • App (or in-app) fails to install or won't download - 'If you're having issues with this app, please contact the app's developer directly, they may have more specific troubleshooting steps for their app. Click on the App Site button to open the developer's support page.' The link takes you to the app's website.
  • App doesn't work or behave as expected - If you're having issues with this app, please contact the app's developer directly, they may have more specific troubleshooting steps for their app. Click on the App Site button to open the developer's support page.' The link takes you to the app's website.

How to get a refund using your iPhone or iPad

Best vm for mac os. Apple hasn't built any links to problem reporting into the iTunes Store or App Store apps, so you're stuck using the web on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad as well. If it's more convenient, you can go directly to problem reporting via your email receipt.

  1. Launch Mail from your Home screen (or your preferred email app of choice).
  2. Search for 'Your receipt from Apple' if it's not immediately visible.
  3. Tap on the receipt for the purchase your want refunded. (Unless you remember the date, there's no way to tell which receipt is which unless you tap it to open it, so you might end up tapping a lot..)
  4. Tap Report a Problem next to the purchase you want to report. You will be redirected to Apple's problem reports page.

  5. Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
