Can't purchase music thru WIFI without "valid address"

I recently recieved an iTunes gift card and I was able to use it to purchase music both on my computer and my iPhone until today. When I attempt to buy music with my phone, I get a message which says " a valid address is neccasary to purchase music with a store credit". And music won't download. I've checked my account information on iTunes and it is correct and I can still buy music while on the computer, just not with the phone.

i had the same problem and came here searching for help. after reading this thread i ended up changing a few things things when updating my iTunes account 'payment information'. When i clicked on 'edit payment information' there was red text saying may address did not look valid. But it looked perfectly fine to me. Nevertheless I tweaked the following: a) added the security code for the credit card, b) added a salutation, c) changed phone number from my home to my iphone number (and put a hyphen before the last 4 digits, although later when it is displayed the hyphen is dropped). Maybe just the act of updating the billing info was sufficient to give it a kick. Then i tried my iphone to buy music and it worked !

    Hey shahbazfromgbr,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand you are having issues with sound output on your iPhone 4S. For troubleshooting steps, the following article provides the best information:

    1. Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    3. While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    4. Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    5. For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    6. If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    7. Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    8. If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
    9. Restart the iPhone.
    10. If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    11. If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond.  How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

    I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums:
    "Beautiful Life"
    "Closer To The Sun"
    "Just As I Am"
    "Twenty Ten"
    , but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond so I can purchase the items thru iTunes.
      How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

    Guy's older albums have been on other countries' Itunes in the past.  I don't know why they come and go.  Guy keeps promising to spend more time overseas, releasing and promoting his music.  I'm sure they'll all become available again then.  You could import CDs, of course, but that becomes expensive.  Online, Sanity and JBHiFi in Australia will mail overseas.

    How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
    Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • Can I purchase music using two AppleID / Passwork using one iTunes on computer and sync all purchased music on to one iPad

    Can I purchase music using two Apple ID & Password using one iTunes on one computer and sync purchased music to iPad 2?

    After having thought about this, I realized, sometime later, that I gave you bad information. You can NOT sync to multiple iTunes libraries with one iPad. I was thinking about using one iPad with mulitple computers and you have to set you device to manage the music manually to do that - you don't sync.
    Sorry about the incorrect information,

    Hi Mission73,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below explains how to change your rescue email address and/or reset your Apple ID security questions.
    You can attempt to answer your security questions in order to change your rescue email.
    If you are unable to remember the answers to your security questions and the rescue email address has changed -- contact Apple ID Security for asissistance.
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    When creating a new Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you will be asked to provide an optional rescue email address. If you have an existing Apple ID that you use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you may be asked to provide some additional security information, including a rescue email address. When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided. The rescue email address you provide cannot be the same as your primary email address for your Apple ID. In most cases, your primary email address is the same as your Apple ID username.

  • I can download purchased music but cannot play music from the Cloud

    Is there a problem playing music from the Cloud? I cannot play music with iTunes (PC) and iOS 6.0.1, but I can download purchased music form iTunes Store. Maybe there is a problem with server?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reaosn you have failed to backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT201209 I want to use a gift card to purchase music thru i tunes, have a  $15 credit but i am asked to confirm my credit card info.  How do I purchase using my $15 credit and not be charged on my credit card?

    I want to use a gift card to purchase music thru i tunes, have a  $15 credit but i am asked to confirm my credit card info.  How do I purchase using my $15 gift card credit  and not be charged on my credit card?

    Hey,
    Even tho iTunes is asking to confirm your credit card details, when you purchase something it will still draw from your iTunes balance first. I think it is just a security check to ensure no one else is using your account.
    This happened to me a couple of days ago but i simply conformed my details and entered my card security code then itunes took the payment from my account balance.

  • How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit?

    How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit? Want credit to remain on accounts as it was a gift for my daughter and we haven't finished using it yet but need to purchase additional storage for all of our accounts. Can't I just override the automatic payment from the account and just pay with a separate cc?

    Purchasing additional storage will not use account credit anyway.  It gets directly charged to your credit card, and you must use a credit card since it is an annual subscription service you are purchasing, not a one time payment option.  They insist on a credit card so they have a billable account for the automatic annual subscription fee.  At least it was that way when I did it.
    Sorry - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874  either I did not have enough credit at the time or something has changed since I did it?  Maybe call Apple and do it over the phone (explain why you want to do it that way)?
