HT2731 Why is the billing information not accepting Debit Card? I live in Kenya and most banks don't offer credit cards.

Please help I would love to start using my Ipad because Im stranded at the moment due to the billing information part

Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:

You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.

Why is my billing information not accepted even for free apps??

I have an iPhone 4S, and today I tried to update some of my free apps, but was asked to re-enter my billing information. I did, with the correct information, and know that I have money in that account, but the information was rejected and I am being asked to enter different billing information.
Sadly, I am only 17, and only have one debit card to use, so do not have the option of using a different card. I am stuck for what to do, as I'm certain I only have one Apple ID, and have never purchased any apps or downloaded any using anything but my phone and the account synced to that. The only thing that I've ever purchased is a few songs, which I put a little of my paycheque aside to do, so I know I have the money.
I would very much like this resolved, as I wanted to download done free organisation apps to help with my A Level studies.

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).

Why does Apple India doesn't Accept Debit Cards While Apple US Does???

It's only Apple India which does not accept DEBIT CARDS but Apple U.S. does accept Debit Cards. I saw this while trying ton upgrade Apple QuickTime 7 to Pro.
SO PLEASE DON'T SAY TO ALL THAT "APPLE DOES NOT ACCEPT DEBIT CARDS, WHICH IS A BIG LIE".

Hello creativerhythm,
India is a particular problem for Apple. While the basics for ordering are set up, the means of payment are more restrictive; you can only use the means outlined in my earlier post.
While we here cannot speak for Apple, I understand the Indian Government's insistence on the majority ownership of shares being owned by Indian nationals, is the stumbling block. Were that to be resolved, other facilities like means of payment might be resolved too.

Sharing photos from iphoto 11, why does the photo information not upload when I click with share via email? How can I make sure the photo information and location are shared when the photo (s) are shared.

When I go to share photos in iPhoto 11, The photos transfer to the email I'm sending but the photo information and location don't. The older version of iPhoto did it, why not this version? What am I missing in the process of sharing via email?, Thank You.

When you share to email do you get the following dialogue:

Why will my billing information not work?

So whenever I try to update or install a new app (paid and free), it asks me to sign in, as usual, then i do, and it asks me to sign in AGAIN, then asks for my billing information. I had already put in my debit card number, and even my security number, but it tells me that I have to re-add my security number, and when I do, it just does not work. Does anyone know what is going on?

Today my friend did me a "favour" and removed the 'Applicaton' icon (much to my surprise) from that part of the toolbar next to my Trash basket.
Open the hard drive and drag the Applications folder to the Dock (to the right of the dividing line).

I updated from Win XP to Windows 7; when I reloaded Adobe 8 Standard the serial number - from the box - was not accepted.

Why won't Apple accept debit cards? I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card. I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through. I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt!

Why won't Apple accept debit cards to buy an iPhone 5? I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card. I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through. I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt! They (ATT) re-emphasized this is not their policy, but Apple's and that I would have the same problem if I went to Verizon. Is this really the policy and if so why? Apple has no problems accepting debit cards for my iTunes account?!

I think this is an AT&T thing not an Apple policy, I had this battle with them before when the 4s came out.So this time I went directly to the Apple stor, I had no problem pre-ordering my Iphone5 on the 14th with my debit card, already shipped will be here the 21st. I'd go straight to the Apple store and purchase them there...

Once I purchase a new application from Apple store by using credit card, I used to get the billing information in my mail the next day. But now a days it is not happening why?

Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

I tried to install a free application from the apple store, I was asked to enter the billing information, gave all the details even if free, chose visa as method of payment but I had a note saying that my method of payment is invalid. Why?

I have an Apple ID and a password, but when I try to sign in I am asked to review my account. When I click okay, it takes me to the billing information page and since I do not use or have a credit card anymore, I want to change the payment option, but there does not seem to be anyway to change this, as the only options available for payment are three different types of credit cards. How do I edit this information so I can pay by PayPal or have the payment option as none? I would like to be able to purchase music using a PayPal account. I have sent three emails to support and have not been able to fix this problem. Would appreciate any help on how I can change the payment information.

I have just worked this out; see below
