  • Why can't I use a debit card to verify apple id?

    I am an adult parent with 3 kids and trying to set up family sharing. The process requires that I use a credit card to verify my age, but I don't use credit cards (purposefully) so I entered my bank debit card. It says I can't use a debit card, it must be a credit card. That is ridiculous, a bank card should be better proof than a credit card, and many people I know do not use credit cards purposefully. So it isn't letting me approve and pay for my children's account purchases. There must be a way to do this without needing to use a credit card.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    As long as the debit card bears one of the brand marks that Apple accepts, such as MasterCard or VISA, then yes, Apple usually accepts debit cards.

  • Why can't I use my iTunes card balance to given an app?

    Hi,
    I have a balance from an iTunes card. I just sent an app as a gift, but iTunes forced me to use my credit card. Why can't I use my balance?
    Thanx
    Olivier

    From the article from which you came:
    Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you can't purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit.
    Why Apple has this restriction I don't know, but many other download stores do as well.
    Regards.

  • Can you use a debit card to purchase and download apps or does it have to be a credit card

    can i use a debit mastercard to download apps or does it have to be a credit card? I used my debit card to buy and download afew apps but now i cant even download free apps without being asked for my billing info and when i enter the info it says it is incorrect when it isnt.

    I think it has to do with the way that you order thru ATT. When you order, they put a hold on your account for the purchase amount. In 3-5 days( for PNC) when PNC doesn't see the purchase go thru, they release the funds. ATT will take the money when your phone ships. If you go to the Apple store, they don't take a deposit. They put your name on the priority list and you only give your card when you pick your phone up.

    I am having a lot of trouble with trying to use my debit card on purchase of itune apps or music. Whenever i put my card information in it tells me that this card is invalid. But there is no way that my card is invalid because i just got it last week. So the only thing i haven't done yet is call my bank to check and see if all my bank statements match but if they do then have no idea what to do to get this to work with my computer, ipad mini, or ipod    HELP! PLEASE!

    I am having this same problem and I have even contacted my bank. The address they have is EXACTLY the way I am typing it.  It does match.  I do not understand.

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

  • Why can't I use my itune card I redeemed

    Why can't I use a gift card I recieved to make itune purchases

    What happens when you try to buy something, what are you trying to buy (you can't use your balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card) ?
    If this is the first time that you've tried to buy something and you are being prompted to enter card details then unless you used the instructions on this page when creating it : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering it.
    Or, and if you are being prompted to review the account, then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
    - go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
    - click on your country's flag
    - click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
    - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    - then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's a different problem ... ?

  • Why can't I use my VTone I just purchased from Verizon Market as my phone ringer?  It game me an option to mark it as my default ringer but when I go to 'settings' it only gives me the same generic ringtones, how do i get my new ringtone to use?

    Why can't I use my VTone I just purchased from Verizon Market as my phone ringer?  It game me an option to mark it as my default ringer but when I go to 'settings' it only gives me the same generic ringtones, how do i get my new ringtone to use?

        I like to customize my phone with ring tones too! Let’s get this working for you.
    Did you purchase the ring tone on our website or on the phone?
    If it was purchased online the ring tone is sent to you in a message and you need to save the ring tone first http://bit.ly/PKUfUg and it is saved as a ring tone you can go in and set it as your default ring tone http://bit.ly/R5Xa4o.
    If the ring tone was purchased on the phone you just need to go into your ring tone to set it up http://bit.ly/R5Xa4o.
    Hope this is helpful. Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

    Can you only use a credit card to purchase products in the Appstore?

    You can also use prepaid iTunes cards, if those are available in your country. PayPal is also an option if you're in the US.

    I believe apple no longer accepts debit cards in some countries. Try a credit card instead.  Go to settings/iTunes and App Store tap on the ID then then tap on view apple ID and log in then tap on account info and have a look at the billing options available to you

  • Can I use my debit card to purchase from iTunes? I don't have a credit card

    From my iPod touch

    Whether you can use a debit card depends upon what country that you are in, have you tried adding it to your account to see if it's accepted ? If not then are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you can use them as your payment method - they are not available in all countries and they are country-specific, they can only be redeemed and used in their country of issue.

  • WHY CAN'T I ADD MY DEBIT CARD (MASTERCARD) IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT?

    Please help me. I have to receive payment using my debit card soon. However, I can't seem to process my debit card (mastercard) in my paypal account. I don't know what to do anymore. I am certain that the details I have entered are right. This keeps on showing up: "The bank that issued your card didn't approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer's customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue." What does this mean? My card is already activated and ready to use.  Please do help me. Please. Thank you.

    So, either do as directed, or don't get anything from the iTunes/app store.
