ITunes Account Hacked; Won't Let Me Fix It

Okay, so I was downloading a free app on my iphone when it tells me my password is invalid. I change it, and then all the sudden (this is on my iphone) a message pops up in Chinese characters.
I get home, get on iTunes and see some noticeable changes on the main "Account Info" page:
Apple ID: My ID
Payment Info: NOT MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER
Billing Address: My address.
Country/Region: China (I'm from United States)
Computer Authorisation: One computer, which is mine and only I touch it.
Then under purchase history, it says I purchased something on October 21st. I figure it's just the free app, but when I click see all:
There are $36.89 worth of purchases, but underneath the total is in red: "We were unable to authorize your payment card for this purchase. Please update your billing info."
I'm guessing whoever hacked my account was in the process of purchasing things when I changed my password. I'm now trying to get everything back to normal, but when I try to change my country back to United States I hit the "change" button and the bar at the top of iTunes fills up as if it's making the change. When it fills, it just stays on the page and doesn't make the change. Basically, I can't change it back to United States, it just won't let me.
Then, if I change my billing info back, it's gonna charge me the $36.89
So... what am I supposed to do?

You need to contact Apple Support. They should assist you in resolving this issue.
My account was hacked last year. Apple Support helped me resolve the problem before someone made a purchase.
For about 6 months afterwards, we only used iTunes Gift Cards to fund our account...we didn't put any payment information on file.

  • I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

    All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

  • My cousin wants to get music off my Itunes but it won't let her, I already have 2 Ipods on my account. What does she have to do?

    My cousin wants music off my Itunes. It won't let her though, and the music doesn't show in her Library, it shows her brothers music. What does she have to do to get my music.?

    If they are running 10.6.1, they have not updated their computer in almost two years and regardless of iTunes, they really should update.
    The posted system requirements have been flaky in the past. A few versions of iTunes required 10.4.11 or 10.5.6 or later. Don't kow if it would not work with 10.5.0 through 10.5.5 but the way it was worded, implied it would not but IIRC, it did actually work

  • I just purchased an album off iTunes but it won't let me download one song...

    I just purchased an album off iTunes but it won't let me download one song off the album due to a -100000 error. It tells me to check for available downloads on the "store" bar, and when I click it, the file still won't download. What should I do?~ Any advice would be appreciated. =^w^=

    Hello TheCoddfish,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    So it sounds like you have a preorder you would like to download, but it is not downloading, or you dont have the option to download it.
    Without knowing what the preorder was, and if it is released, I found this article named iTunes Store: About Pre-orders found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714.
    This part in particular:
    Downloading a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.
    To view, cancel, or see the expected release dates for your pending pre-orders
    Choose Store > View My Appie ID, then click Manage Pre-orders, which located in the Settings section at the bottom of the Account Information screen in iTunes on your computer.
    From the Mange Pre-orders screen, click the Cancel button to the right of the pre-order item you would like to cancel. You'll be asked to confirm your pre-order cancellation.
    If the album is released and you still cannot download it, I would report the issue directly to the iTunes Store support.

    AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

  • On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?

    On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?
    I have bought full access to it.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
