Can my credit card info be accessed via a stolen iPad 3G?
Today I met with this guy I corresponded with on Craigslist to sell my 16GB 3G iPad, to him for $475.
(I wanted to upgrade to the 32GB 3G iPad, but didn't want to return it with a restocking fee)
So I get there (a restaurant) and I spot him, we sit down to arrange. He pulls out an envelope and places it next to me. A waitress comes up to us (we were seated at a table) and asks if we're ordering anything... I told her no we're just gonna be here for 2 minutes tops, and she explained we can't be there if we're not customers. While turning my attention to her, that's when the guy literally just grabbed my iPad, bolted out like he was running from a psycho killer. Just JETTED out there, I stood no chance. All I could do was shout out "Somebody call the police!" and chase after him, but he had already rounded the corner, was about halfway down the block, and slid into a waiting car w/ driver.
Now long story short... I did "Erase all Settings & Content" on my iPad before we met, for security. Thing is, I do NOT want to have to cancel my Unlimited Data Plan, because I will lose it. Since my AT&T account info on that iPad cannot be accessed without my email and password, am I safe from anybody getting my CC info on that stolen iPad? would it be OK if I just have AT&T switch the Unlimited Data to my "New" iPad? I know for a fact they can "switch" over a data plan to a new unit.
Would my stolen iPad and its SIM, and my account, be safe???
Please help.

That's really terrible, sorry to hear that. Your cc and account info should be fine if you did the erase. I would contact AT&T and tell them, if you already have your new iPad, they'll transfer it, if not they should be able to remove that device from your account. I would also report the theft to the police, and give them the serial# if you have it. Sorry I'm not of more help.
This makes me afraid to take mine outside...

How do you remove credit card info from apple store app on ipad?
Is there a way to remove my credit card info on the apple store app on iOS? There is no option for none. I don't mean from iTunes I have a gift card on file in iTunes.
Do you mean the App store? Both iTunes and the App store use what ever is set up on your appleID, be it credit card or iTunes card. Its the same account.

I have 3 Iphone 4's. One of them updates from the App Store with no issues. My other two which are under the same AppleID will not let me do updates. when I try it asks for my Credit card info then after i enter it it says "security code invalid". Has anyone else had this issue and how have you fixed it?
thank youLeigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here
FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

I have a credit in my itunes account but when making a purcahse it is asking for my credit card info. I don't want it charged to my credit card, I want to use my account credit. How can I do this?
Hello, Lynne.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is a helpful article that explains how iTunes purchases are billed.
iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When using iTunes to purchase content for the first time on a new device, it may require you to verify your payment information as a way to authenticate your device. If this not a new device attempting to access iTunes store and prompting you provide payment information, there could be an outstanding balance. This article will show you how to verify you purchase history and invoices.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
Also, you can change the payment method as none as long as there isn't an outstanding balance on the account.

Cannot access my apps due to credit card info
Can someone answer my question. ??
I have a iPhone s. I tried to get into my apps or download a new app and my credit card info came up. It asked for my security code. I entered it and now it won't let me access it.Generally when this happens it's because your credit card either a) doesn't have enough value too purchase a new app, or b) you've made a previous purchase which couldn't go through properly (money may have been spent while the purchase was pending). Best too check your credit information for how much credit you have on there.

HT1420 how do i disable my credit card info so my children can't order w/out my knowledge?
How/where do I delete my credit card info so my children can't order online w/out my knowledge?
Normally you do not need to remove your credit card information. If you redeem a prepaid iTunes card to your iTunes Store account, purchases (other than gifts) will automatically be drawn from your account balance until it's used up.
If, however, you wish to remove your credit card information, log into your iTunes Store account via iTunes on your computer, go to Payment Information, and select "None" as your payment method.

You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552 -
How can I delete my credit card info from the apps store?
Ever since I put my credit card info into the system it won't let me download anything even if it's free. It keeps saying to verify card info and when I do it ask for the card security number but when I put it in then it says it's not right. I don't know what else to do besides delete the card info but I'm not sure how to do that. I have been downloading free stuff with no problem until last Sunday I put my card info in to buy something and it let me make my purchase with no problem and now I'm trying to download free stuff and it keeps wanting me to verify my credit card info and telling me it's wrong info. Please can someone help me out?
I don't mind having my card info on there but now I can't download anything and it's frustrating. All it ask for is the card security number and when I put it in it says it's invalid. So now while I'm trying to delete it, it just won't let me. The visa part stays checked all the time and I can't unmarked it. I tried to just erase the card number and security code and stuff but it says I have to have it filled in. Do you know how I can check to see if it says I owe money?

I have a $20 credit showing on my itunes account. When I go to purchase it asks for my credit card info. I want to use the credit i have. how do I access it/
1-800-676-2775 apple support tech support 1 800 275 2273
If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck -
every time i save my credit card info in my account on ITunes, it shows as saved and as soon as I go to buy something, it says I have no credit card on file and starts over again.

How can I delete credit card info in iPhone?
Big mistake:
I added a credit card to my settings in iPhone (after chosing "no credit card" for more than 6 months) but now I can't remove this credit card info anymore. The problem is I can't find the sentence that was "No Credit Card" to choose it again. It's just gone after adding the card info.
Ofcourse I don't want to sign out because I still need my account to update the Apps I have, and iTunes does want to because they cannot verify my credit card although they already made a withdraw of $1 to verify it.
And yes I did make a reboot and I reset and I updated but NOTHING new happened.
Please any help...Read the instructions at:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5652263_remove-credit-card-information-itunes.html
(first result when you Google how to do this.......)
If the option is unavaliable, maybe try editing the current card details, and saving it with all the fields left blank.
If not e- mail Apple iTunes Support and they will be able to do it for you:
https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?PRKEYS=PF4
Select:- iTunes -> iTunes Store -> Account Management -> Continue -> ........... -
I can't update the credit card info. It shows "STORE_ACCOUNT_CALL_FAILED".
Even the chat support can't help, forcing me to call number which I can't make a call from Thailand.
Please find the solution.
Regards,
NickHi Nickfotog,
The new card has not been updated yet in the system, the card which was used to purchase will be charged on the planned bill date.
Would you please try a different browser and then update the credit card information.

HT1918 how can I remove my credit card info from itunes?
how can I remove my credit card info from itunes?!
Follow the instructions in the support article from which you came and select "none" as the payment method. If you don't see a "none" option, you may have an outstanding balance that you owe. If you've been using a true credit card that's unlikely, but if you've been using a prepaid "credit" card or a debit card where there is a balance, it's a possibility.
