Watch out for identity FRAUD if you have iPhone and use iTunes to back it up…go to Apple iTunes Store to the community forum and see why! We had iPhone that was damaged and it was sent in to exchange for new unit…lo and behold our c.c . statement had $1000 or more in iTunes Apple Store purchases we did not make…hundreds of people also have this happen or worse payPal acct is wiped out..it is tied to the phones synced with iTunes…of course ‘no comment’ coming from Apple about this security problem. So BE CAREFUL! Once these scammers get your basic location & info they go ahead and hack your password or pretend to be you when initiating iTune account after that they just authorize the purchases on your cards..NIGHTMARE! It has been happening since Fall 2011, and yet nothing being said by Apple.

Why is it that a customer isforced to agree to terms that they really do not want to accept but there are not any other ways of get a particular, much less that fact that one does not agree with some diastant company being able to modify my device and interllectual property with out my agreement…. I have many dislikes and no other avenue to have products that do not take without my arm being twisted.

Does the paid version do the same thing?
How do you prevent them from doing this? Just not use the app…or do you have a choice?
