HT1689 why am I getting a list of security question whenever i try to buy music from itunes?

on my ipod, whenever i try to download music lately, i can get no further that "choose from three questions for your security questions" and it keeps kicking me out before i can choose. what the crap? getting frustrated.

Hmm.. You can try removing your card the n downloading a free app to remove the temporary block.
It's actually a new security feature by Apple and a one time thing so I guess it's ok to do it now but for you, try the suggestion. You can also contact support:

  • Why do I get the white screen of death whenever I try to go to the iTunes store?

    I would love to give my money to Apple, but whenever I go to the iTunes store, I just get a blank screen.  It never loads, ever.  I have tried to purchase songs via a website--click the link to iTunes and still nothing.  I am running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac.

    Hello there Bubblesboo,
    I was looking into some of our resources about why the iTunes store may not be loading for you.
    Here are a coule of articles outlining how to troubleshoot that issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    And
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    I would start here, in the first article:
    Troubleshooting on a Mac
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. To configure your firewall, please refer to the "Blocked by firewall" section in this article.
    You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Click here to find out how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
    If you are receiving a specific error message you may want to see, the "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" section in this article as needed.
    If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

    Do you have iTunes configured to manually manage music and videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I get "your purchase could not completed" whenever I try to buy anything

    I get, "your purchase could not be completed" every time I try to buy anything.  I tried two different credit cards.

    Try contacting the store support staff and see if they can sort out the account: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html they are very good at these kinds of issues.

  • Getting Error 9812 when trying to buy music from ITunes store

    I want to buy one song from the ITunes Store. I am able to access the song, but when I push the "Buy Song' button, it says "Unable to access Itunes store - an unknown error occurred - 9812". I have tried to fix ITunes through the Control Panel - this did not help. I tried switching ethernet cords - this did not help. I am able to access the internet and receive email so I don't understand why I cannot access the store.

    I had this problem just recently.
    I discovered that the problem was located here: ROOT / Users / Shared  -- if you open that and the "adi" folder has a little red minus symbol in its corner, your permissions have somehow been lost. (If you can't see your root directory, open Finder Preferences and, under sidebar, check "Hard disks." That will make your root drive visible.)
    If the "adi" folder has the red minus symbol, right-click the folder and select GET INFO.
    Sharing & Permissions is probably set to "System: Read & Write | wheel: Read Only | everyone: No Access"
    If so, your user account has no permissions, and that means iTunes can't use the folder properly.
    To fix this, first unlock the folder using the padlock icon in the bottom-right corner of "get info." You will have to supply your admin password to do this.
    Then click the little + sign in the bottom left corner to add a user, and select your user ID from the list of choices. Give yourself Read & Write permissions. (Alternatively, you could change the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write; others have done that, but I was leery of doing it).
    Re-lock the folder when you're done.
    Hopefully that will solve it.

  • HT3702 I keep attempting to buy music from iTunes but it says "invalid security code".  I've put it in correctly about 5 times.  Why is it doing that?

    Why does iTunes keep saying "invalid security code" when I put in the correct code?

    It could be for varoius reasons you can not see yourself. Contact iTS to check into it.

  • Whenever I try to download songs from iTunes store I get an error message

    I just got my Ipod and when I tried to download songs from the iTunes store I just got an error message, but it took my money. A sample message read,
    "There was a problem downloading 'I Walk the Line/ With His Hot and Blue Guitar/ Johnny Cash"
    The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload file, choose "Check for Purchases" from the Store menu.
    I tried the "Check for Purchases" several times, but I just got the same message. I then went to the Downloads menu/page where another message was displayed under Status,
    zero KB of 2.6 MB - stopped (err = -100008)
    Please help me. I don't want to have wasted my money for nothing.

    Hi ...
    Might be a Wi-Fi issue...
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Now restart the iPad.
    Restart your device: Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

  • When I try to download songs from itunes it says I have to answer my security questions(which i made a year ago) I can't remember them, and I can't get on my email to reset the questions.. please help ASAP!

    I recieved an ipod 5 for a early christmas present a day ago, I already owned an ipod 4 so i just used my info from that ipod as a back up for my 5g. but now when i try to download music from itunes it says i must use my security questions (which i made over a year ago) I can't remember the answers and i can't get on the email that it sends the reset info to. i don't know what to do and its really frustrating. please help ASAP!

    You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
    Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

  • In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field.   In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view.   What am I missing?

    Thanks for chipping in.   I discovered something after trying what you suggested.   I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard.  I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained.   If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears.   But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD.   So, I type "Classic Rock 1964,"  in the search field.  First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons.  Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more.   I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music.  When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD.   On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field.    So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field.   And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.

  • Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    The question mark in the box, if it looks like this:   means that safari cannot find the linked image.  On windows machines, this would be the equivilant of  the small "page-with-a-red-X" logo that appears in the same scenario.  Check the reference to the image and make sure that the image is in the correct location, and is accessable by the reference.

    Why do I get 2 curves and not just i when I create a diagram from a row af data in a table ?

    Erik,
    Thank you for giving me the points.  Generally you wait to award points until your problem is solved.  It is totally your at your descretion.
    OK.
    This is still not clear.  To post a screenshot get the "stuff" you want to show in view on your screen, then type the key combination <Command>+<Shift>+3.  The cursor will change to a crosshair.  Click and hold on the top-left corner, then drag to enclose what you want to show (to the bottom-right corner), then release.  The screenshot will appear on your desktop and will be named something like "".
    Now click the camera icon in the tool bar for this forum:
    , click the text box to allow you to navigate to, and select your screenshot.
    Here is what you sent me:
    The graph does not seem to be associated with the table of data you are showing.  Generally when you highlight a graph the corresponding table will highlight and show the source of each of the series in the graph (dark and light blue).
    This is what I would expect to see when highlighting a graph:
    Right now I think there is ANOTHER table arround that is the source for the graph and the table you show is "just another table".  You can move your data into the table the graph refers to by copy and paste, or simply typing the values.  You can change how many series there are by grabbing the little circle at the bottom right of the highlighted cells (when you have the graph highlighted) and dragging as shown:
