TS1424 100 error? Credit Card Processing down for 4 hours

Any Clue?
Attempting to buy Numbers and Keynote.
Getting a 100 error followed by cc processing down. It has been 4 hours ...

I have the same problem, but being as you have had your account for 5 days by the time of this writing, I had mine for about a year. Recently, the security code showed up blank for the credit card I was using, and even when I used the correct security code, iTunes figured that it wasn't valid.
Thankfully, (go shopsafe!) it was easy to get another credit card for a dollar or two (I just want to update my free software for free...), yet this didn't work, for it again said that the security code was invalid.
Then, after a few tries, it said "Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Judging by other Apple forums, when this sort of thing happens, it's a problem on Apple's side, rather than my computer.
I came to this conclusion when I came to a forum that had a bunch of different people complaining that they can't buy music on iTunes. However, that forum was dated in 2008.
If someone finds contradictory information, feel free to reply to my post and tell me how I, too, could fix this.
And in case it matters, I am using a MacBook Air with OS X 10.6.8 and have iTunes 10.4.

I have over $50 in iTunes account but can't purchase music. Getting error that credit card processing not available try back later. Please advise.

Can not purchase on iTunes. Have $ in account but getting errors. Appears trying to use credit card info and credit card processing down. please advise if I have a set up issue or if there is just a technical problem with iTunes store.

ITunes Store: "Right now the credit card processing is not available. Please try again later . "

Hi, I live in Bogota, Colombia. I have a first generation iPad and decided to enter my credit card to my iTunes Store account but I put the data correctly and when I accept I said "Right now the credit card processing is not available. Please try again later . " I tried several days but always says the same thing, try creating a new account at the iTunes Store but do not, someone could help me with my problem. THANK YOU

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.

Trying to subscribe to iTunes Cloud, getting message "credit card processing is temporarily unavailable".

I've tried to subscribe to iTunes Cloud for a couple of days now but receiving the message "credit card processing is temporarily unavailable". Tried to contact support but they need an apple serial number, I'm accessing iTunes from my HP laptop so doesn't recognize the serial number. How do I get Apple to sell me this subscription?

Judging by your nickname, are you located in county of credit card origin?

"Credit Card Processing Is Temporarily Unavailable. Please Try Again Later".

Hi guys.
I have been browsing for hours no with no avail to this problem I have been having.
I am trying to create a new account to use with the iTunes store - an account in my country, rather than using my US account to buy stuff from there.
My country (Bolivia) is new to the iTunes store, and as soon as I heard the store became available yesterday, I have been trying to register a new account. But everytime I get to the payment page and submit the info, I get the error "Credit Card Processing Is Temporarily Unavailable. Please Try Again Later".
Again, I have googled for this for hours with no avails. Common possible solutions were:
A lot of people mistyped the security code. But I have checked mine a thousand times, I'm completely certain I am getting it right, but I keep getting that message.
Some people mistyped the actual CC number. Another piece of info I retyped a couple of times so I'm sure I'm getting it right.
What are the chances the system is actually unavailable? A lot of people solved this problem and the issue wasn't related to a system being down at all. Could it be the fact my country is new to the iTunes store?
It's been like 6 hours since I tried to make the new account. That doesn't fit my definition of "Temporarily". I guess I will wait a day or two and see what happens, but in the meantime I would like to hear possible problems and/or solutions.
Oh, I almost forgot. If it matters, I am using an iTunes Beta on my MacBook Pro.

Argh...iphone4s - credit card processing temporarily unavailable!?

ok I really dont like my iphone 4s right now...
ever since I got it I have been having problems with not being able to call or send sms:es....ok I can....but I basically have to restart the phone...and then I have like 20 seconds to connect the call or it will not work and I have to restart the phone again....but this is a known issue by now I believe....(even though apple sure isnt rushing to solve this issue....which is a bit strange considering its their new flagship and all....)
Today I got a new problem......now for some reason credit card processing is not working....I get "credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"......earlier today I got that it was denied and I should use a different payment method.......but I double checked that I had money in my account...and tried a few times with the same result....after a few tries I got the "credit card processing is temporarily...." error...
so now my situation with my iphone4s is.....invalid sim, no network, and now credit card processing is temporarily unavailable?
ok...it seems that my iphone 4s has just been reduced to an overpriced camera!
has this happened to anyone else? and if so...does anyone of you know a solution?
I live in Sweden and my carrier is Tele2...

With the first part of that problem, the SIM not recognised, you may want to check for an update. The 5.0.1 update itself was updated for certain people with the iPhone 4S with that problem. Apple did actually solve it (although I am not sure it fixed this for all).
For which service was the credit card declined? If it was iTunes, you may need to re accept the conditions in the iTunes store -- that should have happened with the iPhone connection, though.
In any case, you might try a reset of the iPhone: hold both home and off buttons down until after the slider appeard and the apple icon comes on the screen.
You might also ask your carrier or at an Apple store (if there is one convenient to you).

Credit card processing unavailable???

Hi,
I am trying to purchase Logic X on the app store using my Paypal account (which is set up properly). But I keep getting an error which is then followed by an alert saying that 'credit card processing is unavailable at this time...please try again later'.
How do I resolve this issue? I live in the U.S. and it's 3 am. I can't call anyone can I?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problems. It started a couple of days ago when I was unable to download songs from my shopping cart. When I pressed the 'Buy Now' button, I received a 502 error. iTunes did not download my music so I tried again...then again...and again. Still nothing! I was concerned but figured there was a temporary problem. Later, I checked my email and I was astonished to find several PayPal receipts for my purchases at the iTunes store!! What a mess! Apparently when I pressed the 'Buy Now' button I was actually purchasing the songs even though I was never able to download them! I contacted support and they kindly refunded everything (which totalled over $50) without an explanation as to what happened or what an error 502 was! Tonight I tried again (thinking it was just a fluke) and received the 'credit card orders cannot be processed now...' error. Not sure what's going on. I never had this problem before. I hope they correct this soon.

Credit card processing temporarily unavailable?

I keep trying to buy some music under my account. my card expired so I need to sign up a new one. when I do it says credit card processing temporarily unavailable and to try again later. its been like this for a few days now. is there something wrong with my settings?

This message can be related to the address format you use or your bank's verifing system. When you put your credit card information into your iTunes Store account, this information is sent to your bank for verification. If the billing address you use does not match the bank's records exactly, and/or is not in standard USPS format, then this could result in the message you are seeing.
I would ensure that your bank's records are correct and if you still experience the error, just use another credit card or an iTunes Store GIft Card.
Hope that helps!

Apple/iTunes credit card and Apple Pay

I have changed my Apple/iTunes credit card and now I am unable to enter that card into Apple Pay. I don't get the prompt at the beginning of the entering process to enter the Apple Store credit card as I did before I changed the card.

I Think that the reason so many of us are asking is that it did offer to add the card that was used in iTunes even though it was not supported. When I first setup Apple Pay it asked me if I wanted to use my card associated with iTunes. My card was an unsupported GM Master Card. I chose instead to add my supported Chase debit card. I could never get it to ask me again. And I cannot add the GM card through passbook.
It to may not have completed adding the iTunes card if I had chosen it first, but sure acted like it might had I chosen it first. I think that is why so many of us were asking.

Credit card processing is temp. unavailable.

Hey.
I just got a new itouch today, and tried downloading an app. it asked me to fill in my account info, including my payment method. First it said the security code was wrong, which it wasnt, then, it started telling me "Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable."
I just read that this has lasted a few days for some people. What can i di?

wanted to bump this.
i get the same message. started initially when it said my zip code didn't match my area or something like that, and told me that "verification [is] required" before i can make purchases and that i had to sign in to verify my payment info.
which is what i did. same cc# i've been using the last few years. nothing changed. but i go thru the process of "verifying" by making sure all the info is correct and hit submit and then i get this message: "Credit card processing temporarily unavailable, try again later" or something similar. i've been getting that message for 4 days!!! so frustrating.
i tried deleting cookies, rebooting, doing it from my iphone, doing it from my desktop (which is the only authorized computer), updated itunes, updated the iOS... no dice, no nuthin. searched thru these forums and didn't find a solution, just a couple of threads like this one with no answers.

Credit Card Processing is Not Available. Try Again Later??????????

Had to switch my iPhone to my MacbookPro and needed to update billing info. Simple, right?
I have had this error message for 2 days and can not update or buy anything in the App store.
Called Apple support and they created an iTunes ticket for me and have not heard back in a day.
Am I alone with this issue, or is it broader and just not getting discussed?
Help!

1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done

MYOB/Firewall/Credit Card Processing

After six well meaning customer service people and a very nice apple technician and I am still unable to process credit cards through my MYOB software. Is it my firewall? It is off. Is it that the processor is not recognizing my computer? I am on high speed internet, running firefox browser, is it the browser? Does MYOB even support mac 10.3.9 for their processing function within the software?. I am able to log onto the processor site independent of MYOB. Everyone sent me a help viewer article on servers but I am on a computer not a server. MYOB is a great accounting software, I have had it about two months coming from Quickbooks I really like many of the e-features including the credit card processing if I can just figure out how to solve the problem.
