HT1918 My iPhone won't let me download or update anything???

My iPhone won't let me download or update any apps, just keeps going to my account pages, asks me to put in my card details then says there's a problem or it's declined even when I try to download or update free apps, I have had the day Apple ID and card details since I brought phone????? Have spoken to Apple they don't help!!

What sort of card is it, debit or credit ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support again : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

  • My phone is telling me there is a billing problem with a precious purchase and won't let me download or update anything even though the apps in trying to download are free and updates are free. And I only have one card so I can't update my payment info

    My phone is telling me that I have a billing problem with a precious purchase but I only have one card so I can't update my payment information so I can't update anything or download anything. What should I do?

    Are you aware of any problem with a previous purchase ? If not then you should contact iTunes Support and see if they can tell you what it is (until it's sorted you won't be able to download anything from the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you go into the payment details section on your account then does it say anything about your card being declined or not accepter or if the security code needs re-entering ?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

    If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card.  Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

  • Itunes and Appstore won't let me purchase or update anything.

    I have recently updated to ios 7 and it will not let me purchase or update anything on the app store, or buy any music on i tunes. Any help?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • My iPad won't let me download or update apps or do a software update. Help!!!

    Alright so My iPads App Store doesn't let me download any apps... It always says "(the app)" could not be downloaded at this time. It also won't let me do a software update to iOS 7.1.2 I have iOS 7.1.1... What could be wrong and how do I fix it?! I have even tried a factory reset. PLEASE HELP!!!!! thanks!:) (p.s. I can't do anything but use the internet on Safari.) also i have the model  #  A1430

    Do you have any restrictions for purchasing apps on the phone? Settings > General > Restrictions. If you have a Mac computer or another Apple device can you purchase things in the App Store using the same Apple ID on something else?

  • HT201485 My iphone won't let me download apps and refers me to my computer for verification. My computer will not access itunes due network issue. How to make iphone stand alone for downloads & updates.

    In iTunes my iPhone refers me to iTunes on my computer for verification. iTunes won't work on my computer. How can both my iPhone and iPad stand alone?

    Turns out that when my iPod Touch was restored, the restrictions had been turned ON for Facebook and several other apps. This is what was preventing the Facebook app from accessing my Camera Roll for picture downloads. This is odd since all of my iPod backups would not have had those settings turned on. This is also the first time this has occurred given the few times I've had to restore my iPod Touch.
    Anyway if you experience the same behavior from your iPod or iPhone with iOS 8.0.2, just go to the General settings and review your settings under Restrictions. Once you set them to allow for changes, you should be back in business.

  • My iPhone won't let me download apps iOS 7

    I am unable to download apps from the App Store because it asks me to enable 'Accept Cookies' in the Safari section in the Settings App. However, I am unable to do so because there is no option to accept cookies in the Settings App. I have recently updated my iPhone to iOS 7. Maybe there is another way to do it, but I do not know how. Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
    Thank you.

    No, it's doing the exact same thing

  • Won't let me download anything from the App Store on my iPhone 5

    When I try to update an app I already have from the App Store it ask me to verify my billing information. When I complete that it says transaction failed because of insufficient funds. The app was free when I bought it and all the apps I do buy are through a savings account so I don't understand if or how I could owe money. Now it won't let me download or update anything without updating my billing information and it always comes up with the same message. Has anyone else had this problem? Please help.
