HT201303 Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable?
I'm having a problem with iTunes, please help.
I was having this exact issue when I was set up to use PayPal as my payment method. I fixed it by -
1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done
2. confirming this on my account page - which then said Add (or Set up, I can't remember) a Credit Card
3. on the Add a credit card page, I again set up the exact same PayPal account I had before.
4. I was then taken to the PayPal website to confirm that I wanted to use my PayPal account for iTunes purchases, and finally
5. I was taken back to my account page in iTunes, which looked exactly the same as before BUT...
The next time I tried it, my purchase went straight through! (And this was less than 5 minutes after I'd had the "Credit Card processing is temporarily unavailable" message.)
YMMV, but I guess a similar revalidation process would work for credit cards too.

"Credit Card Processing Is Temporarily Unavailable. Please Try Again Later".
Hi guys.
I have been browsing for hours no with no avail to this problem I have been having.
I am trying to create a new account to use with the iTunes store - an account in my country, rather than using my US account to buy stuff from there.
My country (Bolivia) is new to the iTunes store, and as soon as I heard the store became available yesterday, I have been trying to register a new account. But everytime I get to the payment page and submit the info, I get the error "Credit Card Processing Is Temporarily Unavailable. Please Try Again Later".
Again, I have googled for this for hours with no avails. Common possible solutions were:
A lot of people mistyped the security code. But I have checked mine a thousand times, I'm completely certain I am getting it right, but I keep getting that message.
Some people mistyped the actual CC number. Another piece of info I retyped a couple of times so I'm sure I'm getting it right.
What are the chances the system is actually unavailable? A lot of people solved this problem and the issue wasn't related to a system being down at all. Could it be the fact my country is new to the iTunes store?
It's been like 6 hours since I tried to make the new account. That doesn't fit my definition of "Temporarily". I guess I will wait a day or two and see what happens, but in the meantime I would like to hear possible problems and/or solutions.
Oh, I almost forgot. If it matters, I am using an iTunes Beta on my MacBook Pro.Leonnears
I have the same problem, but being as you have had your account for 5 days by the time of this writing, I had mine for about a year. Recently, the security code showed up blank for the credit card I was using, and even when I used the correct security code, iTunes figured that it wasn't valid.
Thankfully, (go shopsafe!) it was easy to get another credit card for a dollar or two (I just want to update my free software for free...), yet this didn't work, for it again said that the security code was invalid.
Then, after a few tries, it said "Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Judging by other Apple forums, when this sort of thing happens, it's a problem on Apple's side, rather than my computer.
I came to this conclusion when I came to a forum that had a bunch of different people complaining that they can't buy music on iTunes. However, that forum was dated in 2008.
If someone finds contradictory information, feel free to reply to my post and tell me how I, too, could fix this.
And in case it matters, I am using a MacBook Air with OS X 10.6.8 and have iTunes 10.4. -
I've tried to subscribe to iTunes Cloud for a couple of days now but receiving the message "credit card processing is temporarily unavailable". Tried to contact support but they need an apple serial number, I'm accessing iTunes from my HP laptop so doesn't recognize the serial number. How do I get Apple to sell me this subscription?
Judging by your nickname, are you located in county of credit card origin?

Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable?
It was like this yesterday, too. Just trying to make an itunes store account
yes I've been having the same issues, I made one purchase last night, updated my apple tv and now i'm getting the unable to process credit card messages.
This is getting frustrating, and the appletv and macbook pro are going back to the store. I went round and round with support on my adc membership earlier this month and now I'm just frustrated with another apple issue. -
Why does Itunse say that credit card processing is temporarily unavailable?
Basically what the title says, I'm trying to update my billing info and it won't let me and I don't know why. I've tried calling apple but I can't find phone support for itunes.
iTunes does not have phone support. I think they are working out of a mud hut in India. Apple acts like iTunes purchases have been outsourcesed.
Even Apple care cannot directly call iTunes support, its on a chat line. What are we talking about here, a $ 60 BILLION dollar business and its being supported less than PayPal. OK, I am ranting but I had three unauthorized charges on my iTUnes account this month.
Apple's response, they killed my card for use at Apple, they make me re set my password two times and then they killed my card. ***. I have been hacked or computer glitched here and its me that gets nailed. And I have not even heard if iTunes ever checked to whom the music was ordered by..... cause it was not me.
End of rant. but trust me, this will be a big hit against Apple, much bigger than antenna gate.

Credit card processing is temp. unavailable.
Hey.
I just got a new itouch today, and tried downloading an app. it asked me to fill in my account info, including my payment method. First it said the security code was wrong, which it wasnt, then, it started telling me "Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable."
I just read that this has lasted a few days for some people. What can i di?wanted to bump this.
i get the same message. started initially when it said my zip code didn't match my area or something like that, and told me that "verification [is] required" before i can make purchases and that i had to sign in to verify my payment info.
which is what i did. same cc# i've been using the last few years. nothing changed. but i go thru the process of "verifying" by making sure all the info is correct and hit submit and then i get this message: "Credit card processing temporarily unavailable, try again later" or something similar. i've been getting that message for 4 days!!! so frustrating.
i tried deleting cookies, rebooting, doing it from my iphone, doing it from my desktop (which is the only authorized computer), updated itunes, updated the iOS... no dice, no nuthin. searched thru these forums and didn't find a solution, just a couple of threads like this one with no answers. -
Credit Card processing is temprorarily unavailable?
I have been getting this message since 12/30 around noon, and just figured there was a problem with the service. I logged on this morning expecting it to be resolved, but I am still getting the same error when I try to put in my credit card information. I just created a new account and its really frustrating to not be able to dl anything for my new ipod.
I managed to get it to work this morning. I went back through and used the same cards I had tried before. I still could not get it to work with my debit card, but it went through with my credit card. Both cards are issued by the same bank, so I am not sure what the reason was. Either way its working now.
for refererence,
the error was
"Credit Card processing is temprorarily unavailable"
If it was something with the card information it would have been nice to know, but I really don't think it was because I have used the debit card at various online retailers throughout the holiday season. -
"Credit card processing is temporarily unavailale. Please try again later."
Is anyone else getting this message?
I went in to my account earlier this evening to update my credit card for billing and got this message when I clicked "done."
It's been a few hours now and I'm still getting this message.
Apple's bugs, quirks, and down time on their many different services often makes me a bit nervous....First off, I would temporarily disable any security software installed on your PC to ensure it isn't blocking portions of your iTunes Store traffic.
You can email iTunes Store support from this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
They might be able to review your account to ensure there aren't any problems there that might prevent this from working as it should.

Anyone else get the credit card processing is temporarily univalable?
I can't download any apps cause my visa won't connect to iTunes, this barley started happening it's worked fine before.
Finally resolved. Another member posted the answer which was logging into iTunes and reset your payment account (in iTunes). Wait ten to twenty minutes and my AppleTv was again functioning again. So, thank you for the previous post.

Argh...iphone4s - credit card processing temporarily unavailable!?
ok I really dont like my iphone 4s right now...
ever since I got it I have been having problems with not being able to call or send sms:es....ok I can....but I basically have to restart the phone...and then I have like 20 seconds to connect the call or it will not work and I have to restart the phone again....but this is a known issue by now I believe....(even though apple sure isnt rushing to solve this issue....which is a bit strange considering its their new flagship and all....)
Today I got a new problem......now for some reason credit card processing is not working....I get "credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"......earlier today I got that it was denied and I should use a different payment method.......but I double checked that I had money in my account...and tried a few times with the same result....after a few tries I got the "credit card processing is temporarily...." error...
so now my situation with my iphone4s is.....invalid sim, no network, and now credit card processing is temporarily unavailable?
ok...it seems that my iphone 4s has just been reduced to an overpriced camera!
has this happened to anyone else? and if so...does anyone of you know a solution?
I live in Sweden and my carrier is Tele2...With the first part of that problem, the SIM not recognised, you may want to check for an update. The 5.0.1 update itself was updated for certain people with the iPhone 4S with that problem. Apple did actually solve it (although I am not sure it fixed this for all).
For which service was the credit card declined? If it was iTunes, you may need to re accept the conditions in the iTunes store -- that should have happened with the iPhone connection, though.
In any case, you might try a reset of the iPhone: hold both home and off buttons down until after the slider appeard and the apple icon comes on the screen.
You might also ask your carrier or at an Apple store (if there is one convenient to you). -
It is saying credit card processing is unavailable
And I just checked my credit card, no holds, no strange activity. everything is fine. I copied the info from my credit card web site into my billing info. Is this getting more and more common with iTunes? I remember when you had no problem buying a song or an album.
I was having this exact issue when I was set up to use PayPal as my payment method. I fixed it by -
1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done
