ITunes Store balance synch

I can never get the iTunes app on my iPod touch to show me the CURRENT balance in my iTunes Store account. It is almost ALWAYS out of synch with what is ACTUALLY in there. iTunes on my Windows machine does a great job of showing me EXACTLY what I have available, but the Downloads screen in the iTunes app on my iPod is currently showing $51.22 when I know for a fact that I only have a couple of bucks in my account. I can't find any way to force an update/refresh of that balance amount. Anyone know how to do it?

I just went through this with Apple support. The only way to update the balance (you see the balance in the "iTunes" app, under the "Downloads" button) is to "buy" the free song of the week. This will update the balance to the correct amount. If you don't want the song, you'll have to sync, delete the song from your desktop iTunes, and re-sync.

  • My itunes store balance keeps going down. It said I had $1.20 but when I tried to buy song it said I had .20 and then when I added new $25 card it said I had $25.02?

    My itunes store balance keeps going down. It said I had $1.20 but when I tried to buy a song it changed to $0.20 and then when I added another $25 card it now says I only have $25.02??

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

  • How do I use iTunes Store balance to buy an App on my iPhone?

    I have a balance in my iTunes Store account and want to purchase an App on my iPhone.  When I try to purchase an App it does not see my balance and wants to charge a credit card.  How do I use those funds?

    What exactly do you see when trying to buy the app, what messages/prompts show on the screen ? If you have a balance on your account then that should automatically be used for the purchase (unless you are trying to gift it), you can't specify how items are billed. Is this the first time that you've tried to buy something in the stores, or have you moved countries ? Even though you might be being asked for card details it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be charged (apart from a temporary store holding charge, which the card issuer should remove within a few days or so)

  • Transfer itunes store balance to another user

    I was given a gift of $40 for the itunes music store, I am unable to use it. Can I transfer this balance to another user?

    I am not entirely sure that this would work, but the only way i would know of to try would be to go to the itunes store and on the right click on "redeem". This brings up a list of options and in the top right hand corner i believe it says something about giving a gift on itunes. If you then chose the option that says e-mail gift certificates you may be able to give it as a gift to someone and have it draw out of the credit you have, but i must warn you ive never tried this and i am not postive as to weather it would draw out of the credit you have or if it would come straight out of your account. Its just a theory but its one ive never tried, but so far no one has come up with anything else so i hope i helped in some way.

  • My apple itunes store BALANCE....

  • I downloaded latest iTunes and OS and now cannot open iTunes Store or Synch my iPad. Any suggestions

    When I last uploaded the latest firmware I was not able to open the iTunes store. After being told it must be a firewall issue Apple finally told me that a number of people complained about the same thing. They told me to completely remove iTunes, QuickTimes, etc. and reinstall and that solved the problem. This time when I uploaded the latest forware version (10.5) it messed up my User profile adn I had to get that fixed. I realted the problem to Apple and they sennt the same suggestions as last time. However this time, removing and reinstalling did not resolve the porblem. In addition, it tries to back up my iPad before sychronizing to upload the latest firmware to the device and the backup process freezes the iPad and I have to close iTunes through Windows Task Manager and cannot do anything with iTunes until I reboot the computer. Any suggestions on how to fix this reoccuring problem. I am getign to the point where I dont want to use iTunes anymore.

    There is an App called "Videos" that came on you home screen.  This is were they go, it has Movies, bought or rented from iTunes. Music videos and TV shoes as well as pod casts. And even your very own home movies.
    Open it and there is at the top the different sections for each. (it only shows categories which have media in)
    I had to search the first time too.

  • HT1848 "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when synching iPad or iPhone?

    I recently restored my Mac Book Pro to factory settings and since then have been unable to sync without getting the above error. Wireless is working fine, all accounts are authorized and signed in correctly. Any ideas what might be happening to cause this problem? Thanks.

  • Some idiot took 7.72 out of my iTunes Store balance

    got an email alert saying my CC info had been changed- I looked @ acct; 'no card on file.' swell. so i changed password and updated CC info. 7.92 was used for some apps, looks like some jerk from Hong Kong. I reported a 'problem' via each link. Anything else I need to do?

    Yep, the CC company will change your number and send you out a new card to make sure it doesn't happen again.
    Call them ASAP.

  • I recently downloaded music from the iTunes store but it doesn't play on my iPod

    I recently downloaded music through the iTunes store and synched it manually to my iPod nano (5th generation) and while it shows up on my iPod when I scroll through my list of artists/songs/albums it will not play any sound if selected and will not play through at all. At the very best all it will do is skip ahead 1 to 2 songs. What do I need to do?
    I think it's also worth noting that the songs work on my other devices (laptop and iPad mini) absolutely fine with zero issues.

    I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?

  • I can no longer see my iTunes store credit balance

    A couple weeks ago, I wanted to check my Apple ID credit balance but have been unable to successfully coerce the iTunes store to tell me what it is... 
    I used to be able to very easily get this information from iTunes on both Windows and my iPhone.  I have looked everywhere I could think of on both and can't get the amount from anywhere I've tried.  THis used to be very easy and convenient to check on both systems.
    Pertinent version information:
    iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0.1
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    iTunes for Windows v 10.7.0.21
    Is there some setting that needs to be adjusted in my account information or is this information no longer displayed for some particular reason?
    Thanks!

    Since your other account will work, it's probably a problem on the iTunes Store end of things. Contact the iTunes Store customer service group through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them. They should be able to help you sort out the problem with your account login.
    Good luck.

  • I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

    I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

    I'm having this same problem and can't find a solution that works in the apple support community. What's frustrating is that this used to work seamlessly with Windows. Then I bought a macbook pro and upgraded to OS X Mavericks and a lot of stuff broke.
    I'll call apple in the morning.

  • How can i purchase an app of japan store without change my itunes store? i have balance in my US ac so i cant change my stores, but the app i want to purchase in jp store is a free app.... i know apple dun allow balance spend in other countriesbutitisfree

    How can i purchase an app of japan store without change my itunes store? i have balance in my US ac so i cant change my stores, but the app i want to purchase in jp store is a free app.... i know apple dun allow balance spend in other countries but it is a free app

    You cannot use the Japanese iTunes Store unless are physically present there and have a Japanese payment method. This applies even for free apps; you cannot get them from the Japanese iTunes Store if you are in the US.
    If you are in Japan, you can set up a new iTunes Store account just to get free apps. See:
    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.
    If you have moved to Japan and wish to change the country of your account permanently, you can contact the iTunes Store and ask them to clear your remaining balance. You will need to be able to provide a Japanese payment method, though.
    Regards.

  • HT5035 I can't seem to use the balance on my account in the itunes store without putting in the code of the original card.  This has never happened before and I don't have the original card.  Help please?

    I can't seem to use the balance left in my i-tunes account without re-entering the code from the original i-tunes gift card.  I no longer have the card.  How can I purchase music using the balance without the card?

    the code from the original i-tunes gift card is not required again once redeemed.
