im trying to buy a movie on itunes but it keeps asking for a credit car instead of using the money on my account
OH MAN! I had the same problem for so long! I was trying to get as much information and try as many different ways as possible. None worked for me and I am guessing none worked for you either. I will try and help you out! I hope this works for you!!!
Click on your Apple ID > Type in your password > Scroll down to Purchase History > Click on it > If your account has red numbers higlighting a balance. You need to pay that first. Then you are hopefully free of that stupid security code crap! I hope this helped you!

I have money in my account -yet when I try to buy music it keeps asking for a credit card. I saw that someone else had the same problem -yet no answer.
Yes, it's a bind isn't it. I'm also new, just trying to help my young son download free games, but the amount of personal data that has to be divulged for such a simple task was quite a surprise and somewhat overwhelming.
All to help him with his much wanted iPod which he got for Christmas. Thanks mum! -

My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers. How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether? I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

i backed up my ipod and i lost all my music. And its not letting me put my music back on my iPod and i also tried to buy a song from iTunes but it didn't download to my IPod. So now i dont have any music on my ipod now
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I am trying to rent a movie on iTunes. It keeps telling me that I need to connect to wifi or download on a computer. I am connected. What is the issue? This is maddening!
If you are using a Windows based computer, try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall.

I am trying to buy a song on iTunes but it won't let me because I need to answer my security questions? But I don't remember the answers how can I change the questions?
Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

I am trying to download a movie from itunes, but ithere's isn't enough room to download. I have a iphone4, have deleted every app possible. Slimmed down photos to hardly anything. I could never update to ios7 because of storage problems. Only 2.5 GB available out of 5GB after deleting everything. I'm also out of town and cannot connect to a computer. I have wifi access though. Help?
Update
OK, Today I went ahead & booted & tried again & it worked this time.
Not sure why it didn't yesterday. Maybe the servers were just overloaded? Several others reported similar.
Also yesterday when I ran Speedtest it showd download at about 25 mbps, This morning just before I re-started the download it was showing just above 30 mbps. So maybe the internet was less busy? Or at least the parts between me & the test server.
& so far it is working ok. -
