Can't purchase -- can't fix credit card expired message

Every time I attempt to purchase I get a message saying my card has expired. I follow the link to "billing info" and update it -- with no errors. It spits me back out to the store, but I still get the same message when I try to purchase again.
I have also tried updating my card info through the "My Account" section. And have tried different credit cards.
For some reason it seems that the purchasing engine is just not picking up the updated info properly.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Todd

I ended up having to update my address at Apple MyInfo (outside of iTunes but same login). That caused it to be successfully updated in iTunes. Then I was able to put the updated credit card info.
I think for some reason the MyInfo address database is different/better than the one in iTunes. Or there is a problem with iTunes address changes updating the broader Apple MyInfo address.

Credit Card Expired Message on Apple TV when trying to purchase movie

I have an error that I need to update my credit card information on my Itunes account, whenever I try to order a movie from my Apple TV?? I did have a card that expired and had to update the info on my account. I did that and have NO PROBLEMS when I buy things from my computer, through Itunes. Does the Apple tv cache my profile somewhere that it doesn't look at my account online?? Any help on this would be appreciated.
I think this may also be why my Apple TV doesn't sync some of my content from my computer. It states that this computer isn't authorized.

I see some other folks are experiencing the AppleTV error message "Your Credit Card Has Expired" problem, but has anybody found a solution?
I too can order anything from the iTune store, even movies from my computer, but I cannot rent or purchase a movie through my AppleTV.
Here's a mystery, from my computer I have successfully rented a movie, downloaded it, transferred it to my AppleTV from my computer, and then played it on my AppleTV.
I have tried different credit cards just to eliminate that possibility, but to no avail. This feels like there is an intermediate server or data base that is not synced properly but then again why are so few folks effected by this anomaly?
My initial contact with the Apple's 'online' trouble shooting started out promising, then dissolved to "beating around the bush", then descended into the "flogging a dead horse" stage with still no solution.
I am about to escalate to the next level of support, but if anybody has a suggestion to solve this problem, please feel free to jump in. Thanks. . .

My school wants to purchase three copies of one of my photo books. The school is tax exempt. How can we make a tax exempt purchase using a school credit card?

My school wants to purchase three copies of one of my photo books. The school is tax exempt. How can we make a tax exempt purchase using a school credit card?

I don't believe Apple is setup for tax exempt purchases. It's strictly comsumer oriented.
Are you making a profit on your book sale? If so just up the price to cover the tax and you purchase it and deliver to the school. If not then reimburse the school for the tax and write it off as a deduction.

HT204088 Hello everyone, i want to know how can i found out the purchases made with my credit card (not by my apple ID)?

Hello everyone, i want to know how can i found out the purchases made with my credit card (not by my apple ID)?
I found out in my Credit Card bill some purchases in itunes store that wasn't made by me.
thanks to all helpers

This would be something you would need to address with your credit card company. Apple cannot tell you who else might have used your card nor what purchases they might have made. Call your credit card company and report the charges as fraudulent. You'll probably need to have them cancel your existing card and issue you a new one.

My children have "ask to buy" on their accounts, but can't now seem to spend money credited to them via gift card, their purchases revert to my credit card ?

my children have "ask to buy" on their iTunes accounts, but can't now seem to spend money credited to them via gift card, their purchases revert to my credit card ?.. i want them to be able to spend their money first !!

Claudius,
either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions.
I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.
I had to change the primary mail of that account.
I was told "no can do" by skype support.
I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).
Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address.
once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account.
What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else?
furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.
and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that.
If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.

Assuming you were not buying a gift for someone else - gifts cannot be purchased using a credit balance - another user in the forums posted this as the reply from the iTunes Store when this issue was brought up. Perhaps it will help you. If problems persist, contact the iTunes Store:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
Regards.
I'm sorry you weren't able to make a purchase using your store credit. To purchase items on the iTunes Store with your store credit, your account information in your user profile needs to be corrected. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at: http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner. When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store using your store credit.

Hi ...
You need to take into account any applicable taxes and or fees. iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
So if the total cost of the app exceeds 17$, you'll need to purchase and redeem another iTunes gift card.

HT3702 how can i prevent my nephew in purchasing again using my credit card?

how can i prevent my nephew in purchasing again using my credit card?

hi gail,(from maine)

1 more question, if u dont mind, my nephew has his own apple id(with the password he only knows ) nd what he used in his billing info is my credit card #, nd that only means that if he wants to purchase again from the app store it will be billed in my credit card, does your recommendation will still help me?
thanx in advance!

HT2534 How Can I Use Itunes Without A Credit Card?

This problem is really starting to annoy me.
At first, I tried to make my Apple ID in Itunes, I wasn't able to make it though because I did not have a credit card. I had a look at the support and found out that there should be a 'None' option next to Visa, Mastercard, Paypal etc. I go through the process again in Itunes, expecting to find this 'None' button, but it does not exist. All there is is Visa and Mastercard. And option for Paypal isn't even there, even though the article I checked showed an image with it being there (Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534).
So, I try to make my account via the apple.com website. I complete this with no question of billing, and I think the problem is solved. However, when I try to log in on Itunes, it is, once again, requesting my billing information which I cannot provide because I do not have a credit card.
Maybe Apple needs to make it possible for people who do not have credit cards to use this service that I have 'been told' is very good. Or maybe they should stop providing us with article with obviously outdated images.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let me know.

You can create a new account without credit card but you cannot change your exisiting account into NONE payment account.
Follow the instruction and create an account without credit card in iTunes on your computer.
Or on your iPod Touch, Purchase a free App then create a new appleID.

HT2534 I don't have a credit card and would like to update facilities on my iPAD. How can I do this without a credit card?

I don't have a credit card and would like to make updates on my iPAD. How can one manage this without a credit card?

You use a debit card just like you use a credit card in iTunes. You have to enter the card number, security code and billing address as you would with a credit card when you set up the ID. You can make changes to your payment method in your account at any time.
If you want to create an Apple ID without using a credit card you must first sign out of the Apple ID that you already created in Settings>Store>Your Apple ID.
But ...you will also need another email address now if you already created an Apple ID, because that first email address is now associated with that first ID that you created.
If you do have a debit card, you may just be better off entering that card information into your account and use that now. You don't need to even use the debit card if you can purchase iTunes gift cards and redeem those. I use iTunes gift cards exclusively now instead of using my credit card.

HT2534 can you use paypal instead of credit card for iTunes

just got an Ipad & am trying to download apps but can't as I need to give credit card details. Can you use paypal instead of credit card?

Sad but true, I've tried to pay for iTunes Match with my credit and couldn't because it's a subscription service, regardless the credit amount I have. The system ask me to pay with my credit card too.
How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.
