Debit card declined while trying to make an itunes account, I've put down all my details

I've entered my debit card information but it won't allow me to register my card which is preventing me from downloading apps. It says that my card is declined when I havn't bought anything yet. I don't have a credit card but is there a way that I can still use my visa debit?

If you have iTunes' preference set to "copy items to
iTunes library when adding", then it will duplicate
your tracks when you add them. So that may be why
you're running out of hard drive space. Go into the
iTunes Advanced -> General preference, uncheck that
option, clear your library (and delete any tracks
that were copied to your user's Music -> iTunes
folder if they've indeed been duplicated from another
location). Then follow the steps in this article:
iTunes: How to share music between different
accounts on a single computer
to get set back up.
Note that when it says "publicly accessible
location", it needs to be a place where everyone has
read and write access. The most common such place is
the Shared folder in the Users folder.
Hope this helps.
Wow, thanks! I'm at work at the moment, so I won't be able to try this until later, but I really appreciate your help! Any idea though why I lost all the the playlists I set up? Thanks again!

  • My debit card is no longer working with my iTunes account

    I use a debit card for my account. I can't spend what I don't have. Even if I'm 2 cents short of the app's price, iTunes will have a pop-up saying the purchase cannot be completed.
    This has saved me many times before, and because of this I can only buy apps when I have the necessary funds on my account.
    My most recent purchase was the game "Knightmare Tower" for 99 cents. The purchase went through fine.
    About a week later, a couple of apps needed updates. Attempting to update them, however, brought up the log-in prompt. Logging in took me to a screen telling me my card was not accepted for the purchase and to update my info.
    Every time I try to update it, it keeps coming up as declined. I cannot download apps, free or not, or update them.
    I paid for the app and apparently now it says I owe the 99 cents, which I can't pay anyway because iTunes is no longer accepting my card or allowing me to update my information.
    Please help?

    Hi grecokev,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

    Hi Danny724,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I would suggest updating your billing information in the iTunes application, signing out of your account and signing back in; and then trying to complete the purchase.  If the issue persists, the iTunes Store Support Team can review your account with you.

    I am unable to register my debit card after creating my apple ID. Whenever i click "continue" after filling all the debit card details, it shows that, "Your payement method has been declined". Please help me people, why is it so.? Also, i would ike to tell that my bank is, Union Bank Of India and it facilitates the auto conversion, rupee to dollar.. I think there is a different problem. Please help me guys.!!

    The card must be issued in the same country as the store you are trying to use. If you're trying to sign up for the US Apple Store, it must be a US card with a US billing address. If you're trying to sign up in India, it must be an Indian card with an Indian billing address.
    Apple will run a small charge, which will be credited back, to make sure the card is valid. If it is a debit card and you do not have enough in the account to cover the authorization, it will be declined.
    It is possible the currency conversion you mentioned may be causing a problem. Contact the issuing bank if you are sure you have enough in the account and you are signing up for the correct store.

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

  • Why is my debit card declining on my App Store for an update

    My debit card has been the same on my iTunes/App Store for few years now, I have money in my account but when I get a free app or update apps it won't do it and say that my card is declined and I don't know how to fix it

    Is this the US store? How much is the item? Apple US store prices do not reflect sales tax which is added in the final steps of a sale. If your account credit does not cover the full cost, then you must have a bank card to charge the remainder of the balance. For whatever rason your bank card is being declined, so the sale cannot be finalized.

    Hi people!
    is mandatory to have a credit card to my account? and if I do not have a credit card I can not make a Itunes Account?

    Hi,
    In addition to Roger's post, you will need a credit or debit card at a future date if you want to buy from Istore.
    You can use itunes gift cards that have been purchased from external sources. Card needed if to want to buy gift card from Istore.

    Is it possible to make a iTunes account without a Credit Card?

    I've just tried it by following the instructions on that page and I've been able to create a new account with the 'none' option and have downloaded a free app.
    e.g. on my computer's iTunes I logged out of existing account, found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    I agreed to the terms, filled in my details and on the payment's screen I got :
    I then got the verification email, clicked on it, logged into that new account, and downloaded a free app.
    Are they the steps that you followed when creating the account ?

  • When i am trying to create a itunes account don´t accept my credit card?

    I am trying to create a itunes account and give me the message that my security code is not valid. I try different credicard numbers that i have and still the same problem.
    Anyone can help me out about this problem?
    Thanks

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.
