I NEVER used to get this message, but now I can only download my itunes accounts games on my computer or it will charge me. Anyone else get this? Anyone know how to fix?
You don't read MacRumors obviously http://www.macrumors.com/2009/05/31/apple-to-start-charging-for-re-downloading-apps-over-the-air/ Was just posted
Wow, that sucks. And seriously, are people using the same account really hurting sales that much? Many more people are using illegal torrents for songs, and the music industry isn't anywhere near crashing.
you gotta be kidding me thats so dumb, why does apple have a problem with anything that brings joy to anyone...
Do you think this is really to curb account-sharing or they just want to cut down the number of downloads?
I would think it's for AT&T so people don't continuously keep downloading apps again and again on their network for free. But people can do that with free apps still So idk....
Yea this really sucks. I don't have a computer of my own, so I'll really have to think carefully about deleting something.
Keep in mind this is beta software so let's not totally go overboard until we figure out what the deal is instead of just going crazy based on a rogue popup. The purpose of beta software is to test things. Maybe Apple is testing part of their DLC system with certain apps? Who knows what they're doing, I just wouldn't completely go off the deep end yet. Feel free to stick your toe in though.
Hodapp makes a point. And the fact that even if I try to re-download a free app, and that is still says that, convinces me we'll have to wait for the next beta or public release to make sure.
