Please help! I've cannot update/amend my payment info after accidently missing the payment for more icloud storage. I would like to purchase it again using the same card and it wont let me. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!
Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful. -
Purchase iCloud storage for other users
Can I buy iCloud storage for other users?
Thank you.To the best of my knowledge, purchased storage stays with Apple id it is purchased to. To the best of my knowledge, it is unlike itunes store, and is not obligated to comply with local laws/regulations for downloads.
I wish sometimes that people like you could create tips on do's and don'ts internationally, since we are all a bit shortsighted when it comes to Non our country situation. Unfortunately that tip here will die in the dark.
BTW, I think your switching store may backfire for you, but I am sure you were informed of that on the phone.
Question:
Is it possible to pay in EU for iCloud accounts valid in China (RMB) and in the US (USD)
They do not care( they will charge in acceptable units and card will take care of exchange rate), as long as card is accepted by corresponding store ( it is if it is on your file, and if not on file -you will find out as soon as you try to put it on it )
As in the end they will end up back in the EU.
What happens if you extend the storage in 1 country and then move to another country with a different currency and extend it again?
I think I already answered that one. -
ICloud Storage for a one time fee
Can i buy icloud storage for a one time fee instead of monthly or yearly?
Only iCloud is integrated into iOS in such a way that backups can be made. However there are 3rd party cloud services that allow you to upload some data into them, as long as they have an App such as Dropbox. But all cloud services I know about charges you monthly/yearly. The actual storage and bandwidth is costly for the company hosting it so x amount of storage that's stable and secure for a one time fee, I got a hard time seeing such an service exist at all.

Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it? Thank you
Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud. See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

I purchasedhe additional Icloud storage for my ipod touch. That removes all my music from the ipod and putsd it in Icloud. I find that when I am away from my wifi connection, like when walking or working out, I can't access my music. Is there a solution for this?
Download the music to your ipod when you are in a wi-fi area.
It will be stored on your ipod. -

Buy iCloud Storage with Family Sharing credit?
Anyone know if iCloud Storage can be purchased using a Family Sharing organiser's iTunes Credit?
My wife has an iCloud account which does not have any iTunes Credit or a credit card registered to it. We want all iTunes/iCloud purchases to come out of the family's credit pool which is applied to my primary iCloud account as the family organiser.
However, when she tries to buy more storage for her iCloud account (new monthly fee plans) it fails, with a message around the credit card declining (something like that...). I checked, and my family organiser account definitely has iTunes credit available on it, and Apple's info page about iCloud Storage says it can be paid for with existing account credit.
So my assumption is that iCloud Storage doesn't come out of family sharing credit, and it can only be paid for by the primary iTunes account the storage is being purchased for.
Does anyone know if that is true? I haven't been able to find clear information online by Googling or searching Apple's website.Oh wow. You're right. Another page actually puts it clearly:
If you're using Family Sharing, the credit you redeem will only be available to you. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members.

Can I pay for addition iCloud storage for my family member
I want to buy more storage for my children, but I don't want to connect my credit card to their iCloud accounts. I've added them as the family members, could I pay for their iCloud through family sharing?
Your children's accounts currently have some account information with them ... so just put in your card data, do the charge, and then change it back to the account info they have now, and then your card is off the account.

There is no 500GB iCloud storage plan, 20, 200 or 1000 are the available plans.
What did you actually buy? -
Can i upgrade icloud storage for secondary account?
My secondary account is used mostly for email. I deleted a ton of them but somehow am still voer the 5GB limit.
I'm willing to pay the $100 upgrade to get rid of the hassle, but is theere a way to upgrade icloud storage for your secondary account?You would probably have to temporarily make the secondary account the primary account to upgrade it. To do this, go to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...delete the secondary account, then go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out of your primary account and choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with your secondary account ID and upgrade the storage.
After upgrading the secondary account storage, reverse the procedure to assign the primary and secondary accounts back the way they were. -
I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price.
I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price, but it doesn't gives me the option of 20G for $0.99 a month.
How can I get 20g for $0.99 a month?
Thanks!Katherine,
have you read the message in the panel? Something is wrong with your credit card. Perhaps you have to enter a new date of expiration.
In the small print it says, there is still a purchase, that needs paying,"Ugly Heart" with an amount of R 9.99. And "We were unable to authorise your credit card for this purchase". You will first have to update your Billing Information before you can proceed to make a new purchase for upgraded storage. Click "Account Details" in the iCloud panel.
-- Léonie
If you cannot fix the account from the iCloud panel, open iTunes and sign into the "Store" menu, Then use the "Store > View account" item there to check for problems with your Billing Information. -
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.

If I have multiple apple devices and use the same iCloud login on them, shouldn't apple give us more iCloud storage for each device
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
No. Apple only offers 5 GB of free iCloud storage for all your devices, no matter how many you have got. If you need more iCloud storage, purchase storage.
