i wish i could be like u all, i m new to Mac and i got big problem with the sdk 3.0, dunno wat went wrong, managed to download but the file jus couldnt mount, and not recognized. damn it.
I've just got some financial reports, and noticed there are now new reports which show which territory you got paid from; its either that or it shows there current level, anyone know for sure?
I dont know if this is a new thing or not but I've only just noticed

Got my First report today, very exciting haha
But HUGH PROBLEM!!! I am not getting paid HALF AS MUCH as i should be?!?! WTF??
I have all my financial reports day by day downloaded for the last month and Apple says i have sold 489 Apps and my reports say i have sold 1086! Why the hell is this? i am just about to send Apple an email now asking why the hell i am not getting my money!!
Anyone know why this is???

Those aren't financial reports. You have seen this, haven't you?:
Although 489 vs. 1086 seems like a large discrepancy. Are you sure you're summing up your daily figures correctly?
Yes i no they are not like "legally binding" thing, day by day is just a guide but when your expecting 1000 and get 489 that is just not right!!!
Yes i have added up my daily a number of times now, and my weekly and they match perfectly, Apple are wrong!! i have sold 1086 Apps for one country, NOT 489!
I have emailed them and waiting for there response... This is very annoying...
Are you comparing your SEPTEMBER (really 8/30 - 9/26) Financial Report with your total sales to date, i.e. right up through 10/21?
No thats what i can't figure out...!! I am ONLY counting the dates that Apple say i am getting paid for. One month only... The App in Question is no longer on sale so i no i can't be counting anything more than that month, because the last date on the financial report is a week AFTER i removed my Application from the store... therefor my whole earnings for that App were in ONE month only! So i really can't understand how they are counting?!
Maybe they are using a PC to add things up? lol

That might explain it. If the app was removed, you probably pissed off some customers, who asked for, and got a refund.
UPDATE: I checked. iTed? Looks like you infringed on copyrights. You're lucky to get any money. And not get sued.

But go ahead, complain about Apple and make jokes about using a PC.
God, what side of the bed did you end up on today!?
i am just asking a question as to why the figures are off thats all... and it was not removed for your info, I removed it. Plus last time i checked it was a free world to make a jokes... (Especially about PC's!) 
EDIT: No one got a refund, i checked...

Apps that infringe on copyrights make the rest of us, who obey the law, look bad. I had to prove to Apple, and Paramount, that my 'Transporter' sound was not theirs (it's not... all my sounds are original or licensed) but it held up my update for 2 months.
From your website (which is just a Twitter feed):
"If is the case you can not get the App working please make sure you update iTed in 2 weeks when the new update is out and it should fix it!
11:05 AM Sep 29th from Twitterrific"
and two days later...
"One of my Apps in now taken off the App store! Sorry for any inconvenience to others! It WILL NOT be submitted again... On to something new! 8:21 PM Oct 1st from web"
Whether your app was pulled by you, or Apple, or the copyright holders, you admitted that it was non functional, and you weren't going to support it. Naturally people are going to complain to Apple and Apple has the right to withhold payment. Read your contract.
Yep, it's a free world to make jokes, and to complain about Apple... and it's also free for me to complain about your complaints, specifically the repeated complaining because Apple didn't pay you for an app that is both illegal, non functional, and no longer available to paid users who probably requested a refund. Pure chutzpah.
WOW you have to much time on your hands, stalker.. (i never claimed i have a website, why are you even picking out all this crap... i use that to communicate, and it ain't my problem you used something from Paramount and changed it a bit to make it yours and then get upset when you have to prove its yours...) Plus,
Im not asking for the opinion of someone who has "Christian Photo Quiz" next to "Dirty Dancers Sexy Photos"! hahahaha Dear god...
Anyway, to dejo,
They basically put it that it was deferred till next month... I emailed em back to ask for more details, (that wasn't said is those words really..), but thats what it sounds like. I can update when they get in touch again... Thanks..
Hey, it's an honest living (quit my six figure job last week in fact, so yeah, I have some free time), and at least ALL my content is licensed. And I proved it to the satisfaction of Paramount and Apple's lawyers, whereas you admitted your content didn't belong to you. But you still want to be paid 100%. PLUS my apps work. You're actually complaining about Apple not paying you for an app that didn't work and used someone else's content. Of course they deferred payments... Just don't spend it before you get it.
Soooo back to the purpose of this thread...
Anybody getting payments yet?
On a sidenote, my latest app that I released has gone NO WHERE. The lack of visibility has finally become a problem for me. Anyone interested in starting another thread and sharing- discussing marketing techniques?
