HT204268 Can't get past the credit card screen when converting AOL username to Apple ID

After adding my credit card info when converting my AOL username to an Apple ID, I get the following pop up message: "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later." I have tried for two days now. I have changed the credit card, changed the new apple ID, and my personal information, all resulting in the same error message.
Anyone have any suggestions? I am using iTunes 12.1.0.50

Sure thing. Here are my steps:
1) Login with AOL screen name into iTunes.
2) Pop up appears with the message "You need to change your account to use an Apple ID...". I select "Update Account".
4) "Change to Use an Apple ID" screen appears. I select "Continue".
5) "Edit Apple ID Details" screen appears. I then enter my email and password for a NEW Apple ID. (Note: If I enter in an email of an existing Apple ID, I get an error and cannot pass the screen. If I enter in a truly new email for a new Apple ID, the error disappears). Once info is in, I select "Continue".
6) "Review Your Address" screen appears. I can also update credit card information here. The Security Code is missing by default, so I must enter it in. If I enter in a wrong Security Code, I get an error to "Please enter valid Security Code". Once I enter in the correct info, I select "Continue".
7) Pop up appears with the message "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later."
I have gone through this process a number of times, trying to change things slightly in various screens to see if I get a different result. It appears I simply cannot get past the "Review Your Address" screen.

  • When setting up my apple id for the apple store I get to the credit card screen and it tells me I have to contact support to finish.  I can't seem to contact support as there is no number for them on this type of issue.

    When setting up my apple id for the apple store I get to the credit card screen and it tells me I have to contact support to finish.  I can't seem to contact support as there is no number for them on this type of issue.  How the **** to I talk to a person who can fix this?

    It's a real problem when you're deployed outside the US and your billing address, though totally correct, is not. This seems to be a common complaint. I think the billing address vs. your present location causes some security concern or similar nonsense that prevents progress.
    The only way I know of to resolve this is to contact iTunes Support by email. I have never had to wait more than a day for a response:

    The response should not be "automated'. Explain your circumstances. You deserve a personalized response.

  • Apple ID.  My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID.  My apple ID is not an email address.  How can I get past the set-up screen?

    My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID.  My apple ID is not an email address.  How can I get past the set-up screen?
    I can't change my Apple ID.  It would mess all my stuff up.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • My wireless mouse and KB are in discovery mode, but I can't get past the "enter password" screen because my Mouse and KB will not work...batteries have been changed.

    My Wireless KB and mouse are stuck in discovery mode, but I can't get past the "user password" screen because It won't allow me to enter characters.

    Should work if you enter the code and hit the return key.  Here is a step by step article.

  • MD G4 can't get past the log in screen

    Trying to diagnose what's wrong with the trusty mirrored doors G4.  The light goes on when I press the power button, the chime sounds, but can't get past the log in screen, and the mouse arrow is stuck on the left top of the screen; I can't get the mirrored door to open, to try starting with the original cd; can't get to how to start it from an external drive. 
    At this point I'm not going to spend much $ to save this computer which has served as a backup device for the past 3 years,  but would like to get in one more time to make sure I have everything I want to save.  Suggestions?

    If you have enabled remote log in and know how to ssh into the Mac from another computer - reply and I'll walk you through the commands to look at the logs before you log in from the keyboard.
    If not - you should boot from a CD and try to repair the disk and possibly look at the logs using the console utility.
    Please advise if you want to look at the logs to see what the problem is or if you can fix it from using the CD's to repair the disk.

  • HT4623 I "updated" my iPhone4S 16gig this morning and can't get past the "Rescue Email" screen.  I entered emails as well as opted out.  I have gone back, but Apple ID Security insists I add security questions and mail.  HELP!

    Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that.  If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.

  • HT204380 I can't get past the sign in screen on FaceTime when I sign in.

    It flips to confirm my email address and then flips back to the sign in screen right away before I can confirm it. what should I do?

    Thanks, Andrew for your help.  Not sure if you will see this, but I did the above and it said the HD was okay.  Rebooted it and still won't go past login page.  Tried it again and this time typed in the line /sbin/fsck -fy and then it came up and said HD was okay, but said something about being modified.  I once more rebooted, but it still won't get past the login screen.  Besides taking long to reboot, as before, I am able to enter my password, but then it hangs up with the rainbow icon rotating continuously.  Does this mean that the disk is corrupt or partially so, and if so, can you advise how I should proceed?  TIA again.

  • Having problems getting past the Upgrade Check screen when re-installing Creative Suite 4 Web Premium

    I'm trying to reinstall Creative Suite 4 Web Premium, and I get stumbling on the Upgrade Check screen. Creative Suite 4 Web Premium isn't an option to select, and I put in my serial number with every choice, and it doesn't work. I can't get past this screen to continue the install, and I don't want to click trial because I have the serial number. Any thoughts or help would be awesome! Thanks!

    I'm having the same exact problem.... did you ever get this resolved? It won't recognize a serial number from a previous version/purchase.
