Can't seem to purchase more storage -- error message

I have repeatedly tried to buy more iCloud storage, to no avail. I've tried to make the purchase both from my iPad 2 and from my iPhone 4s, always without success.
After selecting "Buy" and then entering my iTunes password as usual, I receive a window-message as follows:
"MZCommerce.Could
NotGetRefundTXNFrom
PayService_message"
(Extremely un-Apple-ish jargon, this, by the way!)
Every time I get the message, I receive an email iTunes receipt a few moments later for $40.00—as well as an email Refund Notice from iTunes for the same $40.00!
So, Apple, why won't you take my money?
Thanks for your help.

And I have had no problems whatsoever and I think that the majority of iPad users have had success with thenew iOS update. But it is really a decision that only you can make.
This iOS update address a few things .....
The update is available for the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, third- and fourth-generation iPod touch, and all iPad models. The full list of changes in iOS 5.1.1, as noted by Apple, are:
Improves reliability of using HDR option for photos taken using the Lock Screen shortcut
Addresses bugs that could prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks
Fixes bugs that affected AirPlay video playback in some circumstances
Improved reliability for syncing Safari bookmarks and Reading List
Fixes an issue where 'Unable to purchase' alert could be displayed after successful purchase
You can try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software and see if it will work.

I'm getting this error message, "an unknown error has occurred." when trying to buy extra storage space from my iPad. I have money on my itunes account. What am I doing wrong??

You must have a valid credit or debit card account to purchase iCloud storage.
Can't be done with a gift card.

If you are trying to download an app and get an error about not enough memory, it's talking about memory on your iPad, not in iCloud. I don't know what you mean by purchasing more storage space for your iPad, you can't add more memory to a device. You may have bought more memory in iCloud, but that's not going to fix your current problem. You need to delete songs or video, or some other large files from your iPad to make room for a new download.

Can you use a iTunes card to purchase more storage for iCloud

No. iTunes Store only.

I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen. I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me.

You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
If on your iPod now:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

How can I get rid of things on iCloud so I don't have to purchase more storage?

I have a macbook air 64gb can I purchase more storage

I have a macbook air 64gb, was wondering if I can purchase more storage or if I would need to buy the air with 128gb?

You need to buy a new one sorry
or you could buy external storage
lastly you could use a company like this

but I think it may void your warranty.

HT4623 I've purchased more storage for my mini iPad however I still can not download iOS 7?

I've purchased more storage for my mini iPad however I still can not download iOS 7?

If you mean you purchased more iCloud storage, that doesn't expand the amount of storage on your iPhone. iCloud storage only gives you more room for backups, documents, photo sharing, etc. You will still need to remove things from your iPad to give you enough room for the update. You'll need less room if you update via iTunes on your computer than if you update directly on the iPad.
BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum. For many issues the answers will be the same, but it's usually best to post in the correct forum for your product so that there is no misunderstanding.

ITunes 8.1 Can't Seem to do More Than One Thing at a Time

I upgraded to 8.1 and now, rather than a "faster" iTunes experience as was advertised on Apple's website, iTunes can't seem to do more than one thing at a time without locking up the application completely. For instance, when trying to download podcasts if I choose to hit more than one "Get" button at a time iTunes will freeze up until the first podcast has completely downloaded. During this time I cannot access any other screen in iTunes at all.
This freezing of iTunes also occurred while I was trying to sync my iPhone 3G. I received the Calendar sync error that a few other people have mentioned on the forum and wanted to turn off Calendar sync (since I don't use it and don't understand why iTunes turned it on by default, apparently, after the upgrade) but I had to wait for my iPhone 3G to completely sync before I could gain access to any of the tabs in the iPhone sync window.
So, basically it seems like the new version of iTunes (8.1) really doesn't like to be bothered while it is trying to copy data from one place to another.
Any ideas?

I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and iTunes 8.1 installed OK, but required a restart of the entire OS after upgrading. It takes forever to launch, clicking on certain items (like applications) causes itunes to freeze for about 15-30 seconds before it continues (this is actually something that's been there since the introduction of the app store), I've had to switch my library view to LIST and avoid any sort of album art. Using album art to view my library causes iTunes to be extremely, obnoxiously unresponsive.
The best part - plugging in my iPhone to sync it... iTunes simply sits there dumbly - doesn't even recognize that I've plugged my iPhone in. So now I can't even sync. QUALITY product, quality. So the app I'm FORCED to use to manage my phone doesn't even work after upgrading. Outstanding.
I'm terrified of uninstalling and reinstalling... the last time I did that with iTunes it jacked my library up... it "lost" all of my music... basically it disassociated all of the music (even the stuff purchased through the itunes store) with the index file so I had to re-import EVERY song and delete the duplicate entry.
I searched a ton of forums looking for any clues as to how I could improve performance... All I run into is apple fan boys flaming any and all forums to the point of PC *****, no Apple *****, and so forth. Extremely unhelpful.
The fact is this - if I wasn't forced to use iTunes to manage my non-jailbroken iPhone 3G, then I'd dump it completely. It is a horrible app. Why punish the customers that haven't gone the route of "jail breaking" their iPhones?
One individual on one of the forums suggested that blue screens, and all the other random errors, including slow performance were due to a lack of RAM. I have 4GB of RAM on my machine I can run a virtual Fedora core 9 machine and a virtual WinXP machine on my Vista x64 box and still not have any performance issues with those two virtuals in the background sucking up system resources, yet with nothing open and less than 50% of my 4GB of RAM in use iTunes performance is abysmal. I have not run into any other application on my Vista machine that performs as badly as iTunes.
And Apple is touting a "64-bit" version of iTunes - it isn't. The applications the 64-bit installer installs are all 32-bit.
So, I'm searching as the two of you are for an answer to horrible performance of iTunes.
Even exiting out of iTunes takes a day and a half... "saving itunes library".... And my "library" isn't that big.

The iCloud storage is meant for your backup, you do not get more space on iPhone.
You can by connecting to computer iTunes for update then you will not have space problem

HT4859 Purchased more storage for ipod touch but not working

I have purchased a tv episode and my ipod touch is saying not enough storage. So I purchased more storage for $20, but apparently this is for cloud storage and not for other purchases? How can I get my $20 storage purchase over to my ipod touch so I can buy more videos, etc.
Thank you!

You need to contact Apple within 15 days of the purchase to get a refund for iCloud. Plusco lays out the details on this other thread.

TS4009 I have purchase more storage for my I pad 3. Yet is telling no space for recording

I have purchase more storage from I cloud and I want to known why my I pad 3 is not recording and is complaining of know space

You can't purchase more space for your iPad.
What you have done is purchased online storage, this doesn't mean you can fit more on your iPad.

Purchase More Storage on iCloud

Been trying to purchase more storage on iCloud, but no success.
On the ios devices (iphone4s and ipad2) when trying to buy more storage 50GB $100 per year option, my apple id password is asked.
After submitting, it says completing purchase but finally "An unknown error has occured" window pops up.

Hi
I have the same problem. I discovered by using the iCloud control panel on my desktop computer allows me to get around the problem. You might want to explore that option.

Purchased more storage and it has not changed

I purchased more storage for my back up on I cloud and it has not registered still telling me I don't have enough storage

The error you received is referring to storage on the phone. You purchased iCloud storage which has nothing to do with the storage on the phone itself. Connect the phone to iTunes and the computer and update that way. Then you do not need to download the iOS to the phone and unpack it.
