Recently bought logic pro 9... blah blah... very upset. From the UK

Sorry to start yet another topic about this but im struggling.


Does anyone know the best department for me to PHONE in the UK.


I've tried several different departments and each time havent gotten anywhere. I keep being navigated to the email service. (which I've already used and not had much luck)


Many people on here have said not to bother emailing and to use the phone to request a refund but as of yet no one has even been close to being able to help.


Thanks in advance.

Logic Pro

Everyone on the phone tells me there is no way of processing my request over the phone and I have to contact the iTunes store support team. They are only contactable through email and can take 24 hours to reply.


I have now submitted two complaints with them, one of which was replied to, basically linking me to the terms and conditions of the sale and instructing me how to buy the new version. (Essentially ignoring my request)


If anyone from the UK has been successful in obtaining this fabled refund please get in touch.

Its surely not looking good for apple if some people are able to receive this refund yet others (all within the 30 days) are being refused.


Has anyone from the UK received a refund or is just for the preferred US customers?


Since in the UK there is no way to phone and make the complaint (only technical support is offered) how on earth am I meant to sort this.


The email system is woefully slow and the responses have so far not really delt with my problem. The last reply I received suggested I contact my bank to try and claim the money back?!


Ok, so for £140 logic is a Bargain, no one is disputing that. However the fact i paid that money and within 2 weeks it's completely changed is just unfair. There was NO mention of Pro X when I went on the app store.

It's possible the refunds were a mistake to begin with... and no, there are not preferred customers in different locations that I'm aware of.


I posted this elsewhere..


-----------------------------------------------------

From what I understand, (this from the developer's grapevine) Apple wasn't prepared for all the people demanding upgrades and a few people were lucky enough to have a recent Logic 9 purchase refunded so in essence Logic-x was free. A communiqué from the Apple main office at Apple nixed ALL refunds, you have to purchase Logic 10 at the App store price.


The problem with the refunds is it left users with a working version of both 9 and 10 while only paying for one, this goes against the EULA so Apple put a stop to it.


However.. If you're using email to discuss a refund...stop! I would call them directly.


Don't yell at me, I'm just passing info along and won't be upgrading anytime soon, if at all.



Also, the refinds that were issued were through App Store Support.

Sorry the "preferred customer" comment was a bit childish. Just seems in the US you can actually speak to someone who can help.


Surely if just one person has been issued this refund then everyone else in the same situation is also eligible for a refund, mistake or not?


To be honest the whole refund process seems daft. Surely its easier for apple to provide an upgrade for anyone who has purchased Logic 9 in the 30 day period. Without any money being transferred?

You would think... welcome to the world of the App Store.


I will probably leaving Logic after almost 20 years with the program.. I hate being under anyone's thumb, especially Apple's.


(Well, not Leaving, just jumping OFF the upgrade train)

I'm kinda happy to jump through hoops if apple ask me to because so far they have been excellent. My macs have never really slowed down, all my programs have continued to function with little fuss and on the most part the software is quite affordable.

But this situation is being delt with very unprofessionally. Some people refunded, some people not.


If no one gets an upgrade/ refund then fine.


If everyone gets an upgrade/ refund then fine.


But at the moment it's just chaos!

I've now had three emails (replys) from apple iTunes store customer support. Each time telling me that all sales are final and that the best I can do is to leave some feedback on the iTunes store.


I've now requested to speak to management or to another adviser who has already delt with one of these claims. I have explained repeatedly that people have been refunded and it cannot be one rule for one person another for someone else.


I'm not gonna let this go now.
