Cannot buy paid apps, but I can get free ones. iTunes cannot complete action error.

When trying to buy paid apps, I get an error. The error states " iTunes can not complete action" every time. I have $50 in my account and no restrictions. This error does not come up when installing free apps. Any help?

The purchase of 3rd party apps is handled by Apple thru iTunes only. Apple collects the revenue for the developers keeping 30% of the sales price to cover credit card fees, hosting fees, DRM, collecting and paying applicable sales tax, etc. It isn't possible to charge 3rd party apps to your carrier's monthly bill, and your carrier probably wouldn't be interested in handling this for free if this were possible.

  • I want to buy an app, but I can't because I forgotten my security questions which I can't reset because I didn't mention a rescue mail box...

    Hello
    I want to buy an app, but I can't because I forgotten my security questions which I can't reset because I didn't mention a rescue mail box...
    I have already bought apps and games, but from my iPhone 4S, here i want to do it from my iPad 2, that's why it asks me security questions.
    Please help me.
    PS : The App is Pages.

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • I can't buy apps. I have a account and click and buy account. But when I go to my account in ITunes and want to change my credit to click and buy I have to download ITunes. I did that but still I have the problem to buy apps. I can get free apps.

    Who can help me? I want buy apps but that's not possible. I have an account by iTunes and Click and Buy.
    But when a want to buy one app then they ask me to make an account for credits. I have the account by Click and Buy.
    When I go my account in ITunes and want to change my credit in CLick and Buy I have to download ITunes again.
    I did that but nothing is changes! Stil the problem to buy. I can 'buy' free apps.
    What to do?

    Nothing you can do. Apps are locked to the account that purchased them and you have to log into the account to update them.

    The page that you’ve posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should let you reset them.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • My MacBookPro 13 inch mid 2010 version 7.1, I want to update it to OS XLion, but my apple id is cant buy paid apps, what should i do?

    My MacBookPro 13 inch mid 2010 is still currently Mac OS X version 10.6.4, i want to update it to OS X LION, to improve my macbook use, but i dont know how, im currently updating my software but still dont know i also cant buy paid apps on my apple id bcoz i dont have a credit card, what should i do to upgrade my macbook?? thanks for your response!

    Hi ..
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    You can purchase an iTunes gift card which can be redeemed and used to purchase Lion.
    Choose your iTunes Gift Card - Apple Store
    Gift cards can be redeemed by clicking Redeem under Quick Links right side of the App Store window.
    Read BEFORE upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X version 10.6.4
    You need to update your system software before you can download Lion.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update ...
    When purchasing apps from the App Store including Lion, take into account the total purchase price may include any applicable taxes and fees.

    Hi rhaughan,
    I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
    Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
    While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:
