I just bought my son an iPhone and he is using my apple ID. He has made some purchases. Please I cannot afford all this. How do I cancel these?

    Tell ITunes Support your issue and make your request.

    iTunes Support -

    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

     

    Make your son use his own Apple ID.

     

    Mac mini, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3; Apple Watch, 38 mm silver AL, Watch OS 1.0.1; iPad Air 2 & iPhone 6+, iOS 8.3

    In the e-mail receipt use the Report a Problem link to contact Apple.

    Note all purchases are final but you can plead your case.

    In the meantime, on your son's iPhone:

    Settings > General > Restrictions > put in a passcode (don't forget to remember the passcode you put in, you cannot retrieve if you forget)

    Switch off the following items from Allowed.

    - iTunes Store

    - iBooks Store

    - Installing Apps

    - Deleting Apps

    - In-App Purchases
