I opened a new account independent of any device and I am not able to use it to purchase music

I opened a new acount in order to keep a set of music purcheses separate from my established account. A clean way to see and manage this set of purchases. The account is not linked to any devices.
When I log in I cannot use to purchase music. The response I get is that it has not been used in iTunes and to review my account info.
I don't know what I did wrong

Hi CMorenoOT,
This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. You'll want to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information.

Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
- Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
- Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

    Hello Shaholeh87,
    Do you see a Globe icon on left hand side of your Spacebar if yes try pressing that and see if you get an option of changing the keboard language (this will work if you have Multiple language set on your iPhone from Settings>General>Keyboard>International Keyboards and added a keyboard in Arabic Language before )
    Or you can get your iPhone in Recovery Mode and Restore it to Factory settings but you will lose all your current Data that you have on your iPhone.
    To Restore your iPhone by taking it in Recovery Mode you can follow the below steps :
    Follow the process mentioned below step by step to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad working.
    Make sure you have Latest Version of iTunes (11.1.3) Downloaded and Installed on your Computer, if not then you can download the latest version of iTunes from the Link below.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now once you have the Updated version of iTunes installed on your computer follow the below steps to get your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad in Recovery Mode and Then restore it to factory settings
    Open iTunes Application on your computer and then start the process step by step
    1>Disconnect your device from the computer (if connected). The process won’t work if you start with the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad connected to the computer. Leave the cable connected to the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, as you will be reconnecting the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to the Computer later in the process.
    2>Power down your device. Turn off your device by holding down the Power button ( On Top right corner of iPod). When the power slider appears, slide it to the right. Wait for your device to comepletely shut down before continuing.
    3>Press and hold the Home button (Home Button is located at bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad screen/display). With the Home button held connect the device to your computer with the USB cable. When reconnected, your device should turn on.
    (If the low battery screen appears, charge your device for a few minutes and try the process again.)
    4>Continue holding the Home button. After a few moments, you will see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your device. This screen is a picture of an arrow pointing from a USB cable to the iTunes logo. When you see the screen you can release the Home button.
    5>iTunes will display a message stating that a device in recovery mode has been connected. From there you can proceed to restore your iOS device. Once you see this message click on OK and then click on Restore
    Once you click on Restore iTunes will download the Latest available version of iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad software (ipsw file) in your computer and after the download is completed the same will be restored in your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. You will see the Download process and Restore process on top of your iTunes screen. Once the restore is completed your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad will automatically restart and you will see a message that iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad has been Restored and will connect after restart.
    Now you will have to follow some steps on your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to Customize your Device for First Use.
    Hope this process will help you

  • I have a new computer and I am not able to use the $12.58 in my itunes store acct.

    why am i not able to use the $12.58 in my itunes acct to purchase items - I am using a new computer and it requests the code on the back of the itunes gift card which I no longer have available but Itunes is telling me I still have that amount in my acct.

    You don't have a copy of it on your backup of your downloads and you've checked your computer's hard drive for it ? What you can re-download will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. If other films show there but not that one and it's still in your country's iTunes store then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If it's not hidden and it's still in your country's store then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they wil grant you a re-download : 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 i already have an itunes account with my family can i open a new account to sync my old and new phone

    if I already have an iTunes account with my family can I open a new iTunes account to sync my old iphone 4 and new iphone 5?

    Hi Rileycarline,
    You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.

  • I have an ipod touch and I am not able to use any money on my accounts because it is telling me the security code is wrong. Can anyone tell me what I can do?

    I am not able to purchase any upgrades on my Ipod, music, movies, videos, or anything because it says my security code is invalid. I am not sure if I am using the wrong numbers or if there is something wrong with my account. I have tried to change my apple Id and my password.  Other times I am able to sign on to my Ipod with my user ID and password to do an update and it says there is a billing problem with a previous purchase. then you can tap continue and view further info, and when I do this it takes me to my account settings page with the info that I originally set up my Ipod with. I no longer have that same credit card and would like to remove it from account and update with a new one, but have not been sucessful in doing this by using my Ipod. Can I do this online somewhere? Can anyone help me out?

    Try here:
    iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    Then try contacting iTunes

  • WHEN OPENING A FILE WITH FIREFOX MULTIPLE FILES KEEP OPENING IN RAPID SUCCESSION WITHOUT SHOWING ANY CONTENT AND THIS DOES NOT STOP AND I CANNOT SAY HOW MANY FILES I HAVE

    THERE IS A PROBLEM IN OPENING ANY FILE. WHEN OPENING - A RAPID SUCCESSION OF FILES OPEN, ONE ATOP THE NEXT, WITHOUT SHOWING FILE'S CONTENT. THIS CONTINUES FOR QUITE A WHILE. I MUST TURN OFF COMPUTER. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE ANY OTHER FUNCTION WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING, IE : WHEN OPENING A FILE. AS IN , I CANNOT OPEN GOOGLE OR MAIL, ETC. AND THE FILES KEEP OPENING AS UNTITLED. SO I AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN ANY ONE FILE, AND SEE ITS CONTENT, THEY JUST KEEP STACKING LIKE EMTY PAGES ONE ON TOP OF THE NEXT.

    THANK YOU
    THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE ANSWER
    I HAVE A MAC
    BOUGHT IN 2008
    AND I DO NOT SEE THAT I HAVE A STUCK KEY
    PERHAPS I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU MEAN

  • Before I transfer files from my PC to the new imac should I load office for Mac and parallees? Will this mean I have to open the new account on my imac first and thus have two user accounts when I transfer the PC? I would prefer to only have one account.

    IIt was in my mind to load office then transfer. After to load paralels and transfer my windows system. I have a new copy of office for Mac plus paralels PC to Mac transfer version 8. As this is my first mac (I have ipads and iphones) I am unsure of what to do. Also to confuse matters I use a windows laptop as my sync machine for the phones and ipads (i do have a cloud account with backup) can I transfer both machines to my new imac? I will have a 1tb fusion drive + 2tb time capsule although I only have less than 400GB of data on both machines. Hope this is not too confusing for everyone but I am looking forward to sorting this mess out by just using the one machine.

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

  • Had to buy a new computer and not able to download my ITunes purchases

    I had to buy a new computer and I am not able to download my old purchases. I didnt back up my purchases on my old laptop. What can I do to download my old purchases? Thank you

    +I didnt back up my purchases on my old laptop.+
    Woops, big mistake not backing up, since you only get ONE download from the store; no more downloads will be coming to your new PC.
    Do you at least have your purchases on an ipod? You could authroize the new PC, then do itunes menu > file > transfer purchases from ipod.

  • I have just opened a new account for my Ipod Nano. My husband and daughter both have accounts on the same computer. I have registered and have downloaded a song, however it the Ipod has synchronised and also downloaded all my daughters tunes fron her Ipod

    I have just opened a new account with my new I pod Nano. I have registered,my husband and daughter have an Itunes account on the same computer. I have bought one song but the Ipod has synvhronised also downloading my daughters tunes from her Ipod.
    How do I delete all these songs and prevent this from happening again.?

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Can my daughter open a new account when her Ipod had been associated with my Itunes account?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to an Iphone 4, from old phone.  My daughter's Ipod 4 had been sunk to my ITunes account that I used to have on old Ipod.  Now that I upgraded phone, it required me to use a different accound address from the old one that was taken over by my daughter's Ipod.  Now, she can no longer access Itunes store on her iPOD.  I tried to have her open a new account with her own email address attached to it.  She couldn't use the ITunes card we bought, on it.........and fears losing all her tunes?
    Anyone ever separate two accounts in same house?
    Debra

    Hi Ishrak,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so. If you continue to have issues with your Apple ID, you may find one or more of the articles linked from the following page helpful:
