I agree totally! No one can d/l on your Ipad without your username and password.

If the account is set up to remember the password it is the account owners fault as to what happens on it.

A 6 year old knows what they are doing with these tech toys. I have a now 7 and 9 year old who know. One of them tried to d/l app one day and she asked what my password was. I wouldn't give it to her. She wanted an app that was only 5.95 and would have d/l it if I had my account remember my password.

It is not ITunes or apps stores responsibility for our accounts. We are!

Correct! My GD's started pre-school with computers in them and from kindergarden on they do most of classwork on computers. They are now going into 2nd and 4th grades and have/are growing up in school using computers, iPads, and other electronics.

About 5 years ago a young friend refused to get her 5 year old daughter a cell phone, but the child's grandparents gave her one without my friend's knowledge or agreement. So one day she took daughter to visit Grandparents and as she was picking her up, friend heard inlaws inside the house yelling at each other.
In the car she asked DD what was going on.

'Mommy, how much is three thousand? Grandpa doesn't want me to talk to anybody with a ONE in front of their numbers"
DD asked innocently.

Seems she had discovered long distance dialing and was having fun talking with strangers all over the nation, and that was one gabby little girl!! Loved talking. It's amazing how fast they are learning all this technical stuff!! Much faster than most of us older folks.

You can't call them, the only way to communicate is thru EMail, so I'm waiting for a response

Yes, there is, but I downloaded a free app for her with my password, and once she was playing that, they must have offered to upgrade it from there without needing a password.

Kids are so smart these days. When you need some help with your computer, just ask the kid down the street. If they are school age they can usually do more than you can on the computer.

What does that app do for $99.99?

I just investigated a little more and I realized she bought coins to spend in the shop (play money that cost me $100) AGH !! I guess when you are in the app even tho it's free, you don't need a password to purchase coins.

Same thing happened to me except it was more $. When kids download free apps they are always being asked to make upgrades and of course they say OK. You need to go into settings and set restrictions. I called ITunes and they reluctantly refunded $. I set my restrictions to include pretty much everything. The important one is In App purchases. Kids can upgrade without password if this restriction is not set to off.

The Barbie app has features you have to say yes to install as you play. A lot of games have this so you have to be aware before you download the app. It's posted in all the reviews of the apps that have this. All the child has to do is touch the yes button for the charge. Most don't realize it's a charge but know if they touch yes they get new features on the app. ITunes refunded one app for me that I bought but it wouldn't work on my Itouch even though it said it would not work, I didn't read all the requirements. ITunes said one refund this time only.
