apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

  • Ipad 2 ios6 apps store wont let me download any apps

    Since updateing from iOS5.1.1 to 6.0 the button for downloading an app (either 'FREE' or '$xx.xx') remains greyed out.
    Please help.

    If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My App store wont let me download new apps but when I go and try to activate it, it says thats its already been activated. What do I do?

    Please Help!!!

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Are you putting in the address where the bank sends the monthly statement?
    Apple's servers are very picky about the format of the address. If you live in the USA, then the server is expecting the style that the US Postal Service uses. One way to do this is to use the USPS ZIP Code lookup service;
    https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action
    Enter the address to look up the ZIP code and then copy the exact USPS output into your iTunes account information.

  • App Store not letting me download free games or even let me update apps I already have!

    Ok, so I tried purchasing a item in a game I have (not knowing how much I have in my bank account). App Store denied it so I'm like ok whatever I don't care. Well now whenever I try to download free apps or eve. Update apps I already have the store makes me sign in, and wants me to update my billing information because there was an error with my last purchase because it didn't go through. Ok why is it doing this? It didn't go through I don't care I just wanna update my apps and be able to download free Apps without having to update my information then apple charging for something I don't want anymore.... Can anyone  tell me how to fix this? I already tried removing the card! I don't have a "none" option when I try to remove it so... Yeah

    You must have a valid form of payment on your account even for updates and free apps.

  • My iphone wont let me download free apps!!!

    okay so i used a visa gift card i had gotten as a payment method to use to download music on itunes and then finally it ran out of money. then later when i tried to download an app it said "sign in required" so i signed in then it said my payment method isnt working but i have no other meathod and i cant cancel the one i have so i tried again and it keeps saying the same thing.. it wont let me download anything.. what do i do?

    You probably have a past due balance in the iTunes store. If so, you'll have to enter a new payment type, or use an iTunes gift card to resolve the outstanding balance before you can proceed to download free apps, or install app updates.

  • App store wont let me open cretain apps

    I searched 'computer' in the app store, and it shows apps so that you can connect to your computer. But when I tap on one, it starts to show the description, then it closes the app store. I've tried other apps of that kind, same thing. I tried seeing the description to a game app and it showed me. But when I searched it, it closed. Ive had problems since iOs 6 with an app closing unexpectedly. Such as a game or safari. I kind the liked ios 5 game center better. Nothing to do about that though. Any solutions?

    It closes the app store if I want to see the description of anything i searched.

  • My ipod wont let me download free apps.

    Every time i try to download a free app, a sign pops up saying "SIGN IN REQUIRED: Tap continue and sign in to view billing information." and when i press continue, it wants me to put in my credit card info.

    If you want
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    Hello there, Tremonteo.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Particularly:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
