Pending charges for unsubscribed apps prevent new downloads

Apple keeps trying to charge me for apps I unsubscribed to but for some reason is pending. It’s keeping me from downloading any new ones. Ive went to manage subscriptions and all that even reported it for assistance.

Did you cancel the subscriptions at least 24 hours in advance of their renewing?


For pending charges you have to wait until the step clears and then also make sure you have some way to pay for the items. Apple may not let you download additional items if you still owe them money (regardless of what you think is right or wrong). Once you have paid you can request a refund, though they are not guaranteed.

To contact Apple, refer to this page for Apple Support for different countries ➔

Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support

Select your country (if you do not see your country, also look for "other" in regions; e.g., "Other Africa"), then "Choose a product". Click the "show" item under each category for more selections. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
