I'm trying to make a purchase via iPod, but it insists on a credit card number. I have money left on a gift card.  Why is this happening?

Why, if I have a $25 credit on my iTunes account, do I get asked for a credit care number when trying to make a purchase via my iPod??/

Found out what the issue was... turned out that I typed the answers in wrong.
But I did go in and add in a rescue email just to be on the safe side.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Im trying to make an apple id do u haw to use a credit card number or no because i dont want to can someone tell me how i ca create one with out using it

    Im trying to make an apple id but dont want to use my credit card is there a way to make obe without using a credit card can some obe tell me

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • HT201382 Our family all bought each other gift cards for Christmas and set up our iPads to family sharing.  When any family member makes a purchase, it will only be charged to the credit card and NEVER the gift card amount! WHY? Is there a way to fix this

    We just set up family sharing on our iPads and we all have$50 of iTunes cards that have been placed on our accounts.  Why can no one in the family redeem the money from their itunes cards... Instead being charge ONLY to the "organizers" credit card? This is driving us crazy? Now all our Christmas present have gone to waste? Can anyone help?

    Hello there ssyer,
    Family Sharing purchases do all go to the Organizers credit card by default, that is unless there is an existing credit or balance on the account requesting the purchase according to this article:
    Family purchases and payments
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
    Balances can be verified with this article if you need:
    iTunes Gift balances
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • What do I need to do to make a purchase from an international ip address?  My credit card is getting bumped out., What do I need to do to make a purchase from an international ip address?  My credit card is getting bumped out.

    I'm having trouble purchasing an app using a US credit card.  I can download free ones just fine, but can't get the purchase to go through.  Can anyone help?

    Least expensive solution - go to your local computer shop and buy a basic internet router (should cost around $30).
    At home connect everything up as follows:
    - cable modem to the router's WAN or "internet" port
    - Airport Express cabled to one of the router's LAN ports
    - iMac cabled to another of the router's LAN ports
    You will need to configure inbound port mapping on your router to allow incoming port 80 (web server) requests coming from the internet to be forwarded to the private IP address of the Mac acting as the web server. Doing this will still allow the router to provide full firewall protection to any other computers on your LAN (like the iBook).

  • HT201177 My new Mac Mini is plugged directly into my tv via hdmi cable and the screen will abruptly go blank and then return after a few seconds. Why is this happening?

    So I recently got a Mac Mini about two weeks ago and for some reason while I am on it the display will go blank and then return after a few seconds. It is happening very frequently. I checked the HDMI cable, I checked my tv and nothing seems to be wrong with them and I don't know what is going on.
    I am getting a bit frustrated because this Mac is brand spanking new and it is totally acting up for no reason whatsoever.
    Could someone please help me with this? I don't want my new computer to be useless. I need it.

    Which TV model do you have?
    Be aware of the fact that very many TVs do expect video signals on their HDMI inputs, not data signals from Macs or PCs. Please consult your TV manual if PCs or Macs can definitely be connected via HDMI, or if e.g. only DVI or RGB/VGA connectors are to be used.
    In case of DVI inputs for data being present, it's not a problem if an HDMI->DVI adapter, or better, cable is being used.
    Many users here are overlooking this potential reason for problems, assuming that HDMI outputs must always communicate with any HDMI input, certainly also because TV manufacturers do not "advertise" such limitations loudly.
    AV receivers with multiple HDMI inputs and a single HDMI video output to the TV are typically more "tolerant" and provide a sort of "converter" function. If present, feed a Mac's HDMI signal into the receiver, not the TV directly. If the receiver does not have enough HDMI inputs, consider to connect rather a video source (DVD player or similar) directly to the TV than the the Mac.

  • 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?
