ITunes can't process credit card purchases??

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to purchase some music since Friday, but have been unable to do so. I keep getting a message about the iTunes store not being able to process credit card purchases at this time. What is going on? Is anyone else having this problem or am I the only one? I know my credit card works, so it can't be that. SOME ONE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Well, I guess I have a similar problem. I downloaded about 21 tunes today, and only two of them got paid for with my Pay Pal account. The others are just sitting there, saying they're being paid for by a credit card. WHICH credit card? I don't remember authorizing iTunes to use any of my credit cards. I have $15 credit from a redeemed gift card, so why can't I use that to pay?
I do have a "backup" credit card on my Pay Pal account, but it's been deactivated because an ATM ate the card two weeks ago.
Any help?

    Is itunes down? Message for hours says unable to process credit card purchases.

    I was having this exact issue when I was set up to use PayPal as my payment method. I fixed it by -
    1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done
    2. confirming this on my account page - which then said Add (or Set up, I can't remember) a Credit Card
    3. on the Add a credit card page, I again set up the exact same PayPal account I had before.
    4. I was then taken to the PayPal website to confirm that I wanted to use my PayPal account for iTunes purchases, and finally
    5. I was taken back to my account page in iTunes, which looked exactly the same as before BUT...
    The next time I tried it, my purchase went straight through! (And this was less than 5 minutes after I'd had the "Credit Card processing is temporarily unavailable" message.)
    YMMV, but I guess a similar revalidation process would work for credit cards too.

  • ITunes is unable to process credit card purchases at this time? What?

    Can't purchase form iTunes on Phone or computer...

    I have the same problem, too. I was using paypal, but switched my account from paypal to mastercard, still no go. I can't believe there is no phone or web chat help from apple. Hope they choke to death on their iPod Nano profits. HIRE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CURRENT, PAYING CUSTOMERS. There are alternatives out there...

  • I'm trying to purchase a free app and my cc keeps declining.... It always works but now it's asking me for information and saying they are unable to process credit cards .. Can someone help?

    II'm trying to download an app that's free.  it keeps sending me to my credit card information and at first it said it declined, now it's saying it's unable to process credit cards at the moment and to try later. Is this normal? Can someone help please?

    Periodically when you purchase anything from iTunes or download a free app it reverifies your credit card. A "declined" message comes from your card issuer; iTunes Store is just a passthrough of that message. So you need to contact your issuer to resolve it. Although at the moment it sounds like the problem is with your issuer's network.

  • Can I purchase an IPad Air in the USA and use it in Canada to process credit card sales?

    Can I purchase an IPad Air in the USA and use it in Canada to process credit card sales?

    It will work in Canada, but if you purchase a WiFi+Cellular model I'm not sure that the warranty would be honored in Canada. If you live it Canada, it would be better to purchase your iPad there.

  • HT1689 Can I set up an ITunes account without a credit card number?

    We are using IPads in a school setting and having trouble setting up the ITunes account without a credit card number.  We are only allowed to download free apps, the school is not paying for any, therefore we do not need to have a credit card for purchases.  Is there a way to get around this so that we can still download the free apps onto the IPads?
    Thank you

    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 apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • HT201209 I went onto my computer and set up an account...I entered my gift cards where it said redeem and there is $40 on my account.  However,I have no idea how to use it.  I read that I can take my credit card out and just use the itunes card but again

    I went into the computer and set up my account, I then went to where you enter the gift card info to redeem the money and my account says I have $40...however, when I go and try to use it I can not figure out how to do so.  I also read that I can remove my credit card info and just use Itune cards...but again i can not figure out how to do this. 
    This is very frustrating because something so simple is turning into an all day fiasco!

    Hello Brod1,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing.  The iTunes Store will automatically recognize the credit you applied.  You can find the details of how iTunes Store purchases are billed below:
    Order of iTunes billing methods
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
    When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
    Free song credits are redeemed first.
    If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
    If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
    When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
    Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
    If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.

  • HT1918 I have Unknown Itunes charges on my credit card.  I need help to identify the purchases. It does not show in my Itunes purchase history but only one my credit card statement.

    I have some unknown Itunes charges on my credit card that I have been busting my brains on getting an answer.  I HATE not getting to talk to a real person!!!!  Same amount Charges show three consecutive days but does NOT show on my itunes purchase history. Suggestions greatly appreciated. A hammer to smash the computer would help too.

    If they don't show on your purchase history on your account then have you have you added or changed your credit card details on your account - when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) ? If not then you could contact iTunes Support via this page and see if they can see what they are for : 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

    How can I remove credit card from itunes account?

    I'm not home right now, so don't have iTunes here. I am basing this on having to do this a few days ago, as well as pictures from Google Images, so things may have different names now...
    Store (dropdown at top of iTunes screen)>View my account>Edit Payment Information>In the list of types of credit cards, the one at the far right says "None." Click that.

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

  • How can I create an iTunes account _without_ giving credit card details?

    Hello,
    I'm from Israel, and due to iTunes incompatibility with Israeli credit cards, I cannot sign up for iTunes. I want to use it to comment on albums and songs, (get the free content offered to users '^_^ ,) store my favorites so I could have a list of what songs to buy at the store, etc.
    I've heard there is a way, though I don't know how.

    @Chris: I'm trying to sign up to the US store, of course. I know there isn't an Israeli store, still, I wanna 'participate' in the store with comments, iMixes, etc.
    As it has been said, but without a US based credit card and billing address, this is impossible
    @Dave: Thanks alot, I thought I can use an iTunes gift card... I'll buy a virtual one soon, and then use it to sign up for iTunes. Thanks again! :-D.
    Gift cards are regional as well and still require a US based address in your case. You have to show some kind of residency in said country to buy it.
    Sorry, but thats the way things work.

    How can I create a iTunes account without a Credit 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.
