How do i get itunes to accept my debit card. When i fist made my account everything was fine but after a few purchases it was declined, i have money in my account so i do not know why it would have been declined. My bankacount says it should go through?

I set up everything with no problems the first time. I have money in my account and i made a few purchases though the app store, then all the sudden it says my card is declined... but i havemoney in my account, it makes me try to change my billing informaton. I contacted my bank and they said there is no reason that my card should be getting declined. I cannot download anything, or update the downloads that i already have... this is so fusturating, any ideas to fix this.

This was changed. Apple no longer accepts debit cards as an acceptable form of payment. This Apple support page lists all accepted forms of payment.

  • How do I get itunes to accept my credit card information?  If I enter Mastercard, it won't keep the security code.  If I enter a Visa, it tells me I can't use that card even though that is the card I was using before the Mastercard

    I have updated my account.  I have a Mastercard as my method of payment now after switching from a Visa.  My phone and computer will not retain the security code for this card, so I can't access the store on my devices.  I tried switching back to the Visa card and iTunes tells me I can't use that card

    The card information must exactly match the issuing bank's billing records precisely. Often this is not a discrepancy with the security code, but an address or ZIP code that is not an exact match.

  • How do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?

    If I want to use iTunes to catalog FLAC files (but NOT play them...as I use my logitech Squeezebox fior that) how do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?

    As polydorus notes, iTunes has the huge shortcoming of not handling FLAC. 
    There are plugins that allow iTunes to play FLAC, but everything I've seen says they are problematic. 
    A much better approach is to get a 3rd party conversion program such as Switch and convert the FLAC files to an iTunes-compatible format such as  AAC or AIFF.
    Put the converted files in your iTunes library, and keep the original FLACs on hand for when you are using a more capable player.

  • HT1918 How do I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit balance?

    My credit card is offering me a $5 statement credit if I spend at least $5 on iTunes.  Problem is I have a large credit balance - how can I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit?

    If you have a balance on your iTunes account then that will automatically be used for purchases before your credit card will be - you can't change how items are billed.
    You could try gifting items to yourself, you can only gift via a credit card (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift items to yourself)

  • Does apple iTunes pre authorize your debit card when trying to download a free application?

    Does apple iTunes pre authorize your debit card when trying to download a free application?

    This has been a constant gripe of mine. No, Apple doesn't pre-authorise for free apps, but your account must be "ok" to download a free app.
    I use a pre-paid debit card for all my online purchases, simply to ensure nobody gets more than they're entitled to. But the only issue I've ever had is with Apple's pre-authorisation. Generally when purchasing an app, I'll check the balance on my card first to ensure I've enough. But inevitably Apple will pre-authorise €1.98. This sometimes has the effect of setting the debit card account into the red when Apple attempts to take the amount for the app. So I'm left with an app I haven't paid for (no issue there) and 2 unpaids on the card. The problem is that when my kids come to me looking for yet another free app, I can't download because my Apple account is not in order. A real pain.
    The solution though is simple. Set up another account without a card and use that to download free apps until such time as I'm ready to put money on the debit card and sort out the account.
    Basically, Apple shoots itself in the foot with constant pre-authorisations.
    I've been onto support several times about this, but they seem to give stock answers tha don't address the issue. Oh we'll.

  • HT1918 cannot get itunes to accept new credit card number

    how come i cant get itunes to accept my new credit card number

    Could be any number of things - hard to tell since you haven't provided details.  If this is for a purchase on the app store, the card's address must be from the same country as the store's location.  Could be lots of other issues.

  • How do i get itunes to accept the security number on my new credit card?

    yeah, I just got this new credit card that I'm trying to use for buying music, but when I go to switch out the info from my old expired card for this one on itunes, in the account billing section, it's refusing to accept the security code/numbers. Even though I know that I'm typing them in right cause I have the dang card right in front of me! *sighs, frustrated* I'm using a windows pc with xp professional service pack 2 running on the latest upgrades for that system to access itunes. If anybody can help me out here I would really be truly grateful.
    Much thanks to ya's and Later,

  • How do i get itunes to play in 5.1 on windows, 5.1 works on everything else on my comp, blueray,dvd,games... just not itunes. even though the things i am trying to play have a 5.1 audio track.

    on the files that have multiple audio tracks the option to switch pops up but i am unable to select it.
    i've tried talking to an apple tech at an apple store, independent tech at mac dealer, i have spent countless hours surfing forums, and even managed to talk to some condicending jerk at an apple customer service number"just because you spent a lot of money converting you're media to itunes doesn't mean you get support" i was told "  aslo while in itunes looking at where the option to go 5.1 is i was told" there is nowhere in itunes to set that setting" i'll mention again i had itunes in fullscreen and was looking at the damm option while he said that.
    feeling really ripped off here bought system for media and would have been better off buying dvds
    spent about 3 hours last night surfing forums, took a few hours to find a number at apple where i could talk to a real person just to be brushed off.

    i just tried disabling adblock and checking if i had any no script or noscript sort of addon. i do not have a script killer. disabling adblock did not solve the issue.

  • How do I get iTunes to automatically rescan my library when I add new music to my external hard drive?

    I keep all my music on my external, and it is a pain to keep having to drag and drop new music into my iTunes library.  Is there any way to have iTunes automatically rescan my library?

    Under the settings you set the location of the iTunes music folder. You don't monkey with the iTunes library settings which are whereever they were when first installed.
    Did you consolidate the library when you were done changing the location?
    Read the apple article on how to move your iTunes library (properly).

  • I can't hear the music playing when I have my headphones plugged in and I do not know why. And my headphones aren't broken. What is wrong?

    For some reason I cannot hear music when I plug in my headphone on my ipad, but headphines are not broken.

    Have you very used headphones or earbuds with an iPad before? It really takes quite a firm push to seat the earphones into the jack, you do have to give it a good push.

  • How can I get iTunes to accept my title-free name so I can download apps, etc.?

    iTunes refuses to recognize or accept my name/billing address because it has no title. If I add a title, the credit card company will not accept it. Ready to give the iPad away!

    Thanks, Skydiver. I've done that, and we are working on it. So far everything deadends at the "This account has not been used on iTunes. Please review your account," or similar. When I don't select a title, it's over, even though the information is all correct. My billing has no title. I can't download anything, and you know everything is tucked away behind that account.  I tried to sign up with a new ID, but I am living in a foreign country and must use the same credit card. Not that it matters; all of them have the same name and address, sans title. We'll see.

  • My apple id has been disabled. I have set a new password and it still does not work. Does anyone know why this would have happened.  About 6 months ago someone hacked my itunes account  so I set a new password.
