Issues with purchasing icloud storage

I'm uable to purchase extra storage for my icloud. Is anyone else having this problem. I've tried on my iphone, ipad and on my laptop. I do not have a credit card on file, I use itunes cards and am not sure if that may be the issue. I don't want to use a credit card, because a friend of mine used his for itunes and someone got a hold of it and charged up a good amount on it. Can anyone help me out, I want to purchase the extra storage.

I use itunes cards and am not sure if that may be the issue. I use itunes cards and am not sure if that may be the issue.
You can't use a gift card for purchasing iCloud storage. Debit or a credit card only.
If you follow the instructions here >  Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account you shouldn't have any problems using a debit or credit card for purchasing iCloud storage.

  • I recently purchased icloud storage for my iPad Air.  I want to store photos in the cloud and learn how to retrieve them.  I need help.

    I recently  purchased iCloud storage for my iPad Air so that I can store my photos in the cloud.  I don't know how to do this.  I want to be able to retrieve them as well. 

    Hello Janet
    With that iCloud storage that you purchased, is used for mainly for iCloud Backup for your iPad Air, app data as in games and documents for like iWork and other apps that save data locally within the app. Dealing with photos in your Photo Stream they actually do not count towards that storage plan. If you don’t think that the storage is going to work for you, then cancel the upgrade you just made.

  • HT201238 How can I purchase iCloud storage as a gift for someone ?

    I Want to purchase iCloud storage for someone as a gift.. Is that possible

    The problem with this that it isn't a one-off payment. You have to give a credit card number, and then the monthly subscription is taken automatically until you cancel it. The credit card number would be the one in iTunes, so you couldn't use yours but then have theirs used to purchase songs or movies. Probably the only way would be for you to just give them the money, which isn't the nicest way of giving a gift.

  • Storage space issues after purchasing additional storage

    While downloading daughters 4th movie on iPad, a note comes up saying insufficient space need to manage your storage. So I delete some of the apps she wasn't using, that wasn't enough so I purchased her an additional amount. Still problems! Help please

    You have purchased iCloud storage, that has nothing to do with your iPad storage. Contact with iCloud support to get a refund > http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact
    You have to delete more things from the device if you want to watch the movie. Open Settings > General > Usage, and delete data that you don't need or want

  • Can I use an iTunes card to purchase iCloud storage?

    Can i use an iTunes card to purchase iCloud storage?

    Looking at your stated article on 01/04/2014 in the additional information near the bottom it says explictely that you cannot use a itunes gift card to purchase. Then it says you can use store credit. How elese would you get store credit other than a itunes gift card? Maybe there is a quasi answer. Yes you can use existing store credit before you sign up for account, but not actually during the checkout. At times thru the year apple will rune utunes $25-$50 gift cards on sale for 20% off. Usually when a new iPhone comes out. I just bought a $50 gift card for $40. Xmas I guess. So I guess until someone trys this for services like plus iCloud Storage OR iTunes match we just don't know until someone post. For people looking for a defintive answer today- itunes gift cards are only good for purchases of Apps, Movies, Music. No hardware like iphones, cables, adapters, etc.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Can an iTunes gift card be used to purchase iCloud storage?

    Does anyone know if an iTunes gift card can be used to purchase iCloud storage? I've tried to purchase it and I keep receiving an error message. I also haven't seen anywhere to enter credit card info either. I'm trying to get this squared away ASAP as I cannot take anymore photos until I get more storage.

    As long as it's a gift for a monetary amount and not for a specific item, yes. You can use that to purchase anything in the iTunes Store other than another gift for someone else.
    Regards.

  • Help with my iCloud storage problem? Weird issue.

    (posted originally & still in iPad)
    Hi.
    I read the manual and did everything (to my knowledge) and spent 2 days researching this but cannot locate an answer. I sure hope it is something that is right in front of me that I am missing somehow!  Please see if you can help me. I am the only MAC user in the family, so I have nobody to ask. Thanks.
    Ok, I personally have an iPhone, and iPad2 and iPad4 all on my same Apple ID. (that is what you are to do, right? that way your apps purchased can be shared on all those devices and you don't have to purchase new, right?) (The iPod just croaked w/ white screen.)
    Ok, just this Friday 2/8, my iCloud told me the "cloud is full" to manage it.  Ok, so I go to manage it, but everything I do I notice does ZERO to release the space.  I worked two days releasing tons of space and nada. The icloud didn't move from full position. I did turn on and off my devices. I signed out of the iMac cloud.
    I see this:
    On my iPad (etc):
    TTL Storage 5.0GB
    AVAIL 281mb
    So I go to "manage"....
    for "Docs and Data" it ONLY shows 2 apps I never use (I do use notebook apps but nothing else shows here but these two apps):
    Writers App 12.5kb
    Tweed 0.1kb (since deleted so it only shows the first)
    Then, below that it shows (in my opinion the culprit!):
    MAIL 4.7GB
    Soooo, I went to iCloud on my iPad and iMac (took turns) and DELETED IT ALL TO ZERO. Zero in inbox. Zero in sent. Zero in Trash. It is a hollow trash can!
    I signed out of the iMac icloud.
    I come back and my "manage" area looks EXACTLY the same as stated above.  The mail still shows at 4.7GB.  It did not drop!!!  I had other "accounts" of emails originally on my iPad to check, as it is a big convenience to go to mail and choose the account and it is right there, but I deleted ALL those as well. THE ONLY mail program I have on my iOs is iCloud.  Even on my iMac, I turned it off.
    I have NO iWork.  DIdn't purchase that yet.
    I have a lot of APPS and at one time under "manage" it LISTED all the apps and I could turn them "on" or "off" for icloud storage.  I turned camera OFF and most all apps EXCEPT notebooks like Noteability, Evernote.  NOW, after deleting all my icloud email, I do NOT see them nor the option to "bring them into the cloud or delete them from iCloud useage"....it ONLY will show Writers App and Tweed (never use them). Not sure where that list went!!
    Is there some kind of GLITCH that I am experiencing?  I want my icloud experience.  Is there something I am overlooking?
    At one point I changed the settings to back up NOTHING and that FULL icloud did NOT change! And, it still showed the same thing as stated above with mail at 4.7GB.  Also, at one point I did ONE (count 'em) icloud back up on my new iPad4 and I DELETED that since I saw this issue as well. (Plugged into my iMac and used iTunes instead).
    Also, when I sign in on my iMac and in Sys Pref go to iCloud....I see this:
    It has on left this wording: "icloud account (button) and sign out (button)"
    on right: (on icon below another it reads:)
    mail, ctc, calendar, bookmarks, photostream, docs & data (off), back to mac(off), and find mac.
    And, to far left bottom "manage" when I GO THERE, it ONLY shows this:
    Mail 4.7GB (grrrr lol) <---there is nothing in the icloud.com email box/any of them.
    that writing app mentioned above at 12.5kb
    Backup O
    There are NO apps shown at all (and I do have plenty on my iMac as well).
    Thanks.
    I really want to have the cloud experience again (a person has told me I have it, but what I am saying is for it to work flawlessly as it has been for me, actually working ...being able to email and recv/read emails (bouncing now)...backup IF DESIRED (no chance now as it says it is FULL)...etc.
    Is this some virus-y thing or glitch or am I overlooking something?
    I would appreciate your help so very much.
    Thanks.

    WOW!  ***** NEVEMIND *****
    FINALLY FIXED ITSELF AFTER 2.5 DAYS OF TIME CONSUMING WORK AND INSPECTION! 
    Thanks, I am happy to report my iPad is fixed but have to share with you what happened:
    I just went to Mass and prayed at Mass for guidance to help find the solution as I am sincerely looking hard and don't have the time (I know, who does, right?).  I prayed that if I couldn't find the issue that someone here would be guided to see this and assist me.
    Well, after I get home and feed the family, I go online again to look at my iCloud email box on my iMac and just keep looking...yes, it is completely white and clear. I see nothing that can be "MAIL" of 4.7MB.  So, then, I turned on my iPad once more just thinking I may have to give up on this and just live w/o it. I re-cheked my AVAILABLE storage for the last time and it was at 5.0!!! I was like "WTH?!!" Then, I re-opened my iCloud email on my iMac and it was still blank but just then my iPad AVAIL (storage) dropped to 4.9GB.
    So, as it is now, I have 4.9GB available for icloud storage. OUT OF THE BLUE after so many many hours and all nighters for two days. I'm beat.
    It seems in this case perhaps it was some weird odd GLITCH??  That the email deleted and space opened only showed up NOW (ie: a big delay from when I cleared it out yesterday night...about 24hours)???
    I will leave this here in case:  anyone at Apple sees that there is a problem with this and they are looking for other reported cases...they can update their manuals or update how their product reacts (more real time) OR if someone out there has had similar issues.
    Do all you can and refer to the official Apple iPad manual that is located in your reader.(or here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf) and
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/index.html?localePath=English.lproj#mmd0558ce3
    also this Complete iCloud Guide is a good read: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2011/10/the-complete-icloud-guide.html then search the forums and pray. ;-)
    I personally think my situation was a delay type glitch where I deleted the over-load and then when I corrected everything, it didn't click in till about 24 hours later...so maybe after you did everything you can, wait 24 hours and see if it self corrects to the right storage amount?  Just putting it out there in case anyone experiences anything like this as it perplexes you when you seem to be following all the "rules".
