HT202359 I have a credit but cannot make a purchase?

I redeemed a gift card and show a credit of $15 but everytime I make a purchase, the money is deducted from my PayPal account. I removed my Paypal account but thinking it would force the charge against the credit but now I can't make a purchase?   Help please.......

That is true in some limited situations, such as if you purchase a gift for someone else.
Usually, if you purchase something for yourself, it will come out of your credit balance if you have one.  That also wouldn't be true if you change country in the interim.
Authorizations will be obtained using your credit card from the Apple Store, but those are not charges.

  • I can log in but cannot make a purchase in itunes store.

    I can log onto account and see balance but when I try to make a purchase it states that my apple id is disabled.  I was previously hacked several months ago and have not tried to make a purchase since this has happened.  I have changed id/email and password and still cannot make a purchase.  Seems strange since I can log onto my account.

  • HT1386 Have new computer and have autorized it, but cannot send new purchases to my ipod nano?

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

    I have an iPhone, but cannot use it at this time. So Im trying to text off my iPod, but it only comes up as my email. How do I make it use my iPhone number?

    The iPod will only have a phone numnber for Messages and FaceTime if the same ID is currently being used with an iPhone with iOS 6 and and that ID is used for Messages and faceTime.
    There is no way to add a phone number to an iPod otherwise.
    Also, on the iPod yoo can only send and receive Messages from other users who use the Apple Messages app.

    I cannot make a purchase an app even know I have credit on account and it will not let me remove old debit card information

    Hi Lukeclear17,
    The article linked below details both why you may be unable to make a purchase using the credit on your account and why you may be unable to choose "None" when editing your billing information.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

    What could be done to solve the problem?

    Try settings/general/reset/reset network settings.  If that does not do it then contact your carrier

  • I can sign in to my account, but cannot make purchases.

    i have the password, but cannot remember my security question answers and when I ask for reset instructions to be sent to my email address they don't arrive.

    Hi, makia1996. 
    I see you are not receiving the security question reset link, see the last sentence under Note in step 5 as it is the best resolution to this issue.
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

  • Why do you have to have a credit card to make a new apple account?

    I want to make a new account but it says I have to have a credit card to make a new one

    Create a NEW account/ID 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

    III entered my card info into iTunes but didnt make a purchase at that . iTunes shows mt 25 dollars but wants the code again. I no longer have c I thought once I registered it my acct was credited.

    I am confused. Are you talking about a credit card?

  • HT1689 I have itune credit, but when i buy stuff on candy crush my card keeps getting charged?

    I have itunes credit, but when I try to buy things to extend time on candy crush etc the charges go to credit card.  Is there a way to change this?

    I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

  • HT201303 I cannot make a purchase from iTunes store.  Error message says credit balance unavailable try back later.

    I cannot make a purchase from iTunes store.  Error message is:  Credit Balance unavailable.  Try again later. I use a credit card to make purchases and do not have a Credit Balance.  How can I correct this problem?

    Hi, I am going to an exhibition where there is no internet access but would like to show people around my website. I have added "scrapbook" but cannot work out how to 'save' an entire site for viewing off-line. I thought there was a way to specify 1/2/3 clicks from home page etc. Please help. DAVID

    OK, solved my own problem, but am posting here in case someone else has the same problem. It totally does not make sense, especially considering that it stopped after I reinstalled Lion, but the good thing is I have my files back.
    I scoured the web and found a lot of other people are having the same problem. Most of them didn't have a clue how to fix it. This discussion was the most helpful to me: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2569766?start=30&tstart=90
    So, I went to the WD page and followed the instructions. The first suggestion was to plug it directly into a wall, because it may not be getting enough power from a power cord. I did this and it fixed the problem. Who would have guessed?
    Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, go to your manufacturer's website for help. Here's WD's help: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1164/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvd GltZS8xMzI2MzIzMjUwL3NpZC82dmo0blZOaw%3D%3D
