HT201209 I am trying to make a purchase on iTunes with a gift card but it is not allowing me to because it wants to use my credit/debit card which I know have no funds in. My iTunes account has $30 on it but won't work as wants to use credit card.

My itunes account will not let me use my $30 credit which is loaded on. It wants to use my credit card which I've previously used but which now has been cancelled. I've gone into manage my account and tried to find where to de select credit card but there is no 'none' button. I now can't purchase from itunes.

I had a similar problem, except my phone was a new IPhone 5s, and it was my first purchase. I simply put money into my credit card account (only $2), and gave them my credit card details in the payment info section. I then tried purchasing again and it worked using the gift card I had previously redeemed, maybe they just need to know that if it doesn't work there's enough money on your card, as a guarantee.

    I'm trying to make a purchase and I get a message that the information does not match with the bank. What can I do?

    Go to the APP store or Itunes. On the bottom of the mainpage, tap your apple id, view account. Then you can edit the payment information. Or you can do it(if you encounter a problem there) on Itunes on computer. Just go to the store, select your name and edit information. Make sure everything matches...exp date, name as appears on card etc..

  • TS3297 Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?!(for 1st time purchase)

    Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase)  I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • I have redeemed my iTunes giftcard (which was accepted without verification) however when I tried to make a purchase, I am required to verify my identity, and thus I cannot use the giftcard which I HAVE REDEEMED. Is there any way I can un-redeem it?

    I have redeemed my iTunes giftcard (which was accepted without verification; it only needed my password)
    However when I tried to make a purchase, I am required to verify my identity, and thus I cannot use the giftcard which I HAVE REDEEMED. Is there any way I can un-redeem it? I am currently trying to enter all of the possibilities for my questions, and my iPad is new, so the serial number is not registered with my account. According to support, no purchases have been made in my account, so I can't verify my identity through credit card. Please help!~

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    If you just want to have the card un-redeemed, use the form.

  • When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • Trying to make a purchase on itunes and keep getting prompted to verify account information, when I do that, it says to fix errors, then to contact apple support, any ideas or know how to fix this?

    Trying to make a purchase on itunes and keep getting prompted to verify account information.  I've done this and when i click done, it says to fix errors; i repeat the process then it says to contact apple support.  Any ideas or other experiences with this?  I've had this happen before and it got resolved after i called them and it took a few days, not very convenient.  The same thing happened when I was just trying to update my account info with a new billing / account address.
    Thanks

    You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

    When trying to make a purchase from itunes store, I keep getting an error code, 42408.  I'm connected to the internet so I'm not sure why.  Anyone else?  What does this code mean?

    This alert is often the result of an issue with verifying your billing.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Test the issue.
    If it persists, sign in to store.apple.com using your iTunes account
    Click on Change account information
    Modify or remove your credit card information.

  • HT5622 I tried to make a purchase with a credit card to I have been using with I Tunes for 2 years.  Now it's saying my security code is wrong??????

    Tried to make a purchase thru Itunes with a credit card I have been using for years.  Now it wants my security code which I entered three times and it said it was wrong (I know the correct) number.  Then I changed to another credit card, and it is still denying by purchase.  I was prompted to go to this website so here I am.  Can you please help me out
    Thank yyou

    whenever you attempt to put a card on itunes it puts a temporary $1 authorization hold for 24 hours - 48 hours depending on your bank - since you attempted so many times that is why that $1 is showing up so often - are you using a debit card? because if you are then if even the authorization hold doesn't go through like it should it will show a "ghost" charge that will drop off soon - it isn't fraud though - make sure your billing address is correct - if that doesn't work contact itunes store at getsupport.apple.com - click itunes - itunes store and follow the prompts and you can chat or email them.

  • Trying to make a purchase from the iTunes Store - but can't????

    The USPS just advised me our zip code is changing as of 7/1 (in fact, the new zip code already works).
    I tried to make a purchase last night but the iTunes Store profile with my old zip code threw up a flag. I changed the new zip code back to the old one but that doesn't work anymore either. In the pull-down menu of possible zip codes for my town, the new zip code isn't listed. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    I tried finding a phone number to speak to someone but that doesn't work either. Anyone have any ideas?
