I am trying to use my iTunes gift card and it is telling me to to update my billing info why, I am trying to use my iTunes gift card and it is telling me to to update my billing info why

I bought an iTunes gift card to purchase a book in iBook. When I press buy it will ask for my password, once I put that in I it will then ask for my password again. Then it will tell me that PayPal is not supported by my device. In iTunes under my apple id it has the amount of credit I have on my account. Why can't I get what I am trying to buy?

You might want to check the details you have linked to your account by visiting the website (appleid.apple.com) > Manage your Apple ID > Then sign in. 
Once your satisfied with the information you have provided / changes you've doon. Try to make that purchase again. If you're being prompted for the billing info thing. Just follow the onscreen prompts. Click done at bottom of the screen to proceed.
This happened to me once. I Hope it helps

  • My phone is telling me there is a billing problem with a precious purchase and won't let me download or update anything even though the apps in trying to download are free and updates are free. And I only have one card so I can't update my payment info

    My phone is telling me that I have a billing problem with a precious purchase but I only have one card so I can't update my payment information so I can't update anything or download anything. What should I do?

    Are you aware of any problem with a previous purchase ? If not then you should contact iTunes Support and see if they can tell you what it is (until it's sorted you won't be able to download anything from the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you go into the payment details section on your account then does it say anything about your card being declined or not accepter or if the security code needs re-entering ?

  • I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.'  I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select

    I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.'  I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select, please help?
    I get message like below on each stage of the update, Quicktime, Safari & iTunes;
    It's so annoying as until I update my iTunes account my phone won't sync.

    Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
    (Assuming that the QuickTime and Safari messages were also citing bonjour64.msi, you should also then be good to go with those installs too.)

  • Trying to set up Fam Sharing but can't get past the prompt telling me to add a payment method. I already have a payment in my iTunes account and wish to use it for FS. How do I do this?

    Trying to set up Fam Sharing but can't get past the prompt telling me to add a payment method. I already have a payment in my iTunes account and wish to use it for FS. How do I do this?

    Hi printspat,
    From what I gather, you have a payment method selected for your iTunes Store account which isn’t being accepted when setting up Family Sharing.
    Take a look at the he article linked below provides, which provides a lot of great information about Family Sharing, and make sure you're trying to use a valid payment method for setting up Family Sharing.
    Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
    One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iOS device or Mac. When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards.* 
    Cheers,
    -Jason

    Go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750 and download iOS 4.2.1 for the iPhone 3G. Perform a restore, but hold down ALT when clicking restore. Restore from this file you just downloaded. You should not get 1015 as you are upgrading, but if you get a different error, report back.

  • I have a Iphone4. Trying to update from 4.3.3 to IOS 5 or 6.  There is no 'Update Software' button under Utilities/General. Tried updating using Itunes but it comes up 'The Iphone software update server cannot be contacted' ????

    I have a Iphone4. Trying to update from 4.3.3 to IOS 5 or 6.  There is no 'Update Software' button under Utilities/General. Tried updating using Itunes but it comes up 'The Iphone software update server cannot be contacted' ????

    iOS 4.3.3 doesnt have the "Update your Software" tab so you will need to go to itunes and back up your iphone then restore your iphone and it will download the latest iphone software (6.1.4) if you dont want 6.1.4 download your current version and hit shift on your keyboard (alt if your on Mac I think) and click restore iphone and find your downloaded software 4.3.3 then download iOS 5 or 6 and do the samething after your phone boots up from restoring it to 4.3.3.

  • HT2693 Why does my Ipad keep telling me that my security code is incorrect when i am trying to update the billing information?

    Why does my Ipad keep telling me that my security code is incorrect when i am trying to update the billing information?

    It might be because the billing address you provided doesn't exactly match your bank records.  It has to match your statement exactly.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

  • HT2534 I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said that i have not yet used this ID on iTunes yet. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It won't let me continue.

    I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said I have not yet used this ID with iTunes. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It will not let me continue without entering one in.

    - Add a credit card or other payment method like redeeming an iTunes gift card.
    - Create a NEW account 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.

    Hi..
    Select None in the Payment Information window.
    Then purchase iTunes gift cards which you can redeem from the iTunes Store to make purchases. Be aware, that the None option is not available in all counties.

    Hello there, AniChirglyan.
    The following Knowledge Base article talks a little about the purchasing order of items through the iTunes Store.
    iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    iTunes may still ask you for information from your card on file if that information has lapsed or needs updating. The card information on file has to be correct, no matter what purchasing option you will be exercising for this purchase.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.
