Itunes won't recognize new credit in Itunes

itunes won't recognize new credit in itunes store and goes straight to billing page so I cannot purchase anything; also play button won't activate when in itunes stor. Susanne

Hi Chris
Thank you for your help sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you.
I solved my problem with Itunes gift card after many frustrating hours. I went to purchase another song it did the same thing as before (went straight to the billing page) but this time I hit a credit card icon it asked me to bring up details; I deliberately entered wrong numbers so forth and so on. I deleted all the credit card details and hit NONE and I found I could then exit the page. That action seemed to trigger a correction for purchase; and I could then download without too much trouble.
Cheers

  • ITunes won't recognize new iPod

    When I plug my new 30 GB iPod into the computer, the computer detects new hardware, but iTunes 7.0 doesn't recognize it.

    First, see these basic troubleshooting steps:

  • Itunes won't recognize new Ipod Nano 8GB

    Hi, help someone please. The error I'm receiving is: "An Ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod, then try again".
    Tried this several times and even reinstalled itunes... didn't work. Tried using a different USB port as well.
    All other ipods are working fine when connected. I'm using Windows XP. HELLLPPP please !! it's my kids new Christmas present

    I had exactly the same problem - heres the procedure I used - hope it helps ?
    It looks a bit daunting but only takes a couple of minutes.
    Disconnect iPod
    Go into Start - Control Panel - Add/Remove programs
    Select iTunes and remove ( don't worry all your music should be safe - mine was still there when I reinstalled )
    Next go to apple website, disable your antivirus ( not sure if this is needed, but it's what worked for me) and download and install latest iTunes 9.0.
    After installation - close iTunes
    Reboot your P.C. and then restart your antivirus.
    Next
    Go into Control Panel again, then administrative tools( if you can't see admin tools select classic view from the left panel.
    Then select computer management - then device manager
    Scroll down the list in the right hand panel and expand the universal serial bus controllers section.
    Connect your ipod nano - you should hear a bleep and then the details in the USB controllers list should change ( if iTunes starts just close it )
    From the USB controllers list select the new addition - it'll either say apple ipod usb or Mass storage device something like that( whichever one has just appeared on connection of your ipod )
    Right click on the new entry and select uninstall - at the warning message select ok
    wait for it to complete the removal.
    Right click the entry again and select scan for hardware changes, keep your ipod connected.
    The computer should now find your ipod and reinstall the necessary usb drivers for you.
    Next
    disconnect your ipod
    start iTunes
    on your ipod - press and hold centre button and menu for about 8 seconds - apple logo will appear, - then press and hold centre button and rewind for 6 - 8 seconds- ipod will go into a diagnostic mode.
    a list will appear on ipod screen
    press the centre button and it will select the first parameter on the list then press menu - you will be returned to the diagnostic list but you will be on the second item in the list - once again press the centre button to access, then press menu to return to the list - repeat until you reach the last item on the list "restore". press the centre button and the ipod should restore - apple logo will appear and the ipod will reboot(wait for a minute or so for this to complete )
    Now connect to iTunes - hopefully your ipod will show up on the left hand side ( mine did )
    click on your ipod on the list - you should now have a screen showing your ipod - it may prompt you to download a newer version of software - click don't download.
    on this summary screen select enable disk usage and then click apply - now wait it can take a little while to complete.
    When it is finished the apple logo will be back at the top of iTunes.
    O.k. this is the fun bit and needs to be done quite quickly !
    Read this next section completely before you start
    click restore on iTunes.
    it will say something like download and restore, click this.
    a progress bar will appear - saying extracting software
    followed by another progress bar, restoring "your name" iPod
    my progress bar then showed 3 or 4 blue dots traveling across the progress bar without actually making any progress.
    while this is happening unplug your iPod
    press and hold centre button and menu for 8 seconds - apple logo appears
    then press and hold centre button and play until it says disk mode.
    reconnect your ipod - the progress bar should now slowly complete and at the end say something like ipod will show up on itunes when it reboots.
    wait for the apple logo to appear on your ipod, followed by the start screen ( select language )
    disconnect
    select the language you want to use as from new.
    reconnect and then sync as normal - everything should now work.
    This is what worked for me - it's a bit long winded but so far so good.
    I hope this helps you - it took me about six hours of searching and messing around to finally get this working - my 2 daughters were driving me mad as their new Nano's wouldn't work !!!!

  • ITunes won't recognize new songs on my iPod

    I put some new songs on my iPod with another iTunes on another computer. When I opened iTunes and plugged my iPod in the first time after I had added the songs, iTunes recognized the iPod but didn't do anything about the new songs. My iPod also stayed on the "Do not disconnect" screen. I had to press the eject button to safely disconnect it. I thought that when there were songs on the iPod that weren't on iTunes, iTunes would question you about whether or not to add them to iTunes. I have it set to "Manually Manage Music". So,
    1. Is it possible to get iTunes to recognize the new songs?
    2. If so, how?
    thanks
    iPod Nano, First Generation   Windows XP  

    I thought that when there were songs on the iPod that weren't on iTunes, iTunes would question you about whether or not to add them to iTunes.
    This applies to music purchased from the iTunes store, when the computer you're using is authorized to play music from that iTunes store account. It does not apply to music obtained in other ways, or if the computer isn't authorized to play that music.

  • Replaced Hard Drive, iTunes Won't Recognize New Drive

    I had my 60+G of music files stored on an external drive, and it died. Someone more tech savvy than I copied the files from my iPod to a new drive, and they are all there. However, after I changed the iTunes folder location in Prefernces to look to the new drive I still get the *!%!! exclamation points!!!
    I can look for individual tracks and pull them up easily enough, but I don't want to do this 16,577 times!
    Did I miss a step? I left "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" checked.
    Any help would be tremendously appreciated on Thanksgiving Day.....

  • ITunes won't recognize valid credit card in PayPal

    When I try to add PayPal as my method of payment in iTunes, the PayPal Authentication page says, "Error Detected: This recipient requires that you have a valid funding source from United States in order to complete this transaction." I do have a valid credit card in PayPal. I've e-mailed both PayPal and iTunes several times and have received no helpful answers (canned responses only). Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have e-mailed iTunes support more than 15 times in the last 2 months and they have not investigated this problem. Two of their responses asked me to reply with a phone number and time I can be reached, and I heard nothing by phone or e-mail after responding with that info.
    My credit card in PayPal has a United States bank address and PayPal verified that it is valid.
    I haven't found any workaround and am disgusted with iTunes web-based support. I don't believe a person is reading my issue; the support e-mails appear automated - with human touches - to respond to key words in my question but don't answer the unique nature of this issue.
    Has anyone else received viable assistance from iTunes web-based support?

  • ITunes won't recognize new iPod touch

    Last night I purchased a new iPod touch. When I try to connect it to iTunes; I get the following message:"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I have uninstalled (removed) my current version to iTunes andinstalled the latest version of iTune and still get the same message.
    Any ideas?

    ok i figured it out.. not what was wrong but what to do.. you have to restore your system without having the iPod connect of course.. then uninstall itunes and quicktime then delete every trace of them from your computer. (once you reinstall iTunes you will get back everything you had) then once you restart your computer reinstall itunes and restart your computer again. now plug ur iPod Touch in the computer and it will work then.
    same thing happened to mine.. it took a while to figure it out but i got it...
    you have to uninstall them then delete it from program files... now it works perfectly

  • Old CD Burner Broke but iTunes won't recognize new external Burner

    HELP!
    My internal CD Burner (E-drive) broke and I installed a new external burner (F-drive). However, when I go to burn a CD, iTunes wants to burn to the old, broken internal drive.
    I checked Preferences, Burning but the ONLY drive listed is the old broken "E" drive - there is no list of drives to choose from (it is greyed out and I can't choose or point to the new "F" drive).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Diane

    hmmmm. okay, let's try something relatively simple first ... a "reboot and repair".
    reboot the PC. (very important.) now do a repair install of iTunes. in Add/Remove programs, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, does the F show up in your Burning preferences?

  • ITunes won't recognize new Coldplay disc, MacBook Pro spits disc out

    Anybody else? It won't even come up in the finder. It seems like it tries to read it and then it ejects.

    Okay, found out the issue. It's about LAST YEAR's CD, but I can only imagine they made the new one much much worse

    Coldplay Can't Play
    Band's New CD Comes with Onerous Limitations
    By Martin H. Bosworth
    ConsumerAffairs.com
    January 4, 2006
    Pop behemoths Coldplay have scored great success with melancholy hits like "Yellow" and "Shiver." But now the British foursome has something new to sing the blues about -- namely the fact that their newest CD, "X&Y," comes with so many restrictions on its usage as to be, in one irate fan's words, "virtually unplayable."
    Coldplay's label, Capitol Records, has installed extremely restrictive digital rights management (DRM) on the CD.
    Although the disc packaging does clearly state that the CD is copy-protected, the buyer doesn't know exactly what the restrictions are until they've bought the CD and opened it up. Worse, the restrictions prevent the CD from being returned or exchanged unless there is a "manufacturing defect."
    The DRM restrictions prevent the CD from being played in "some" CD players, CD-recordable or rewritable hard drives, DVD players, game consoles such as a Playstation or Xbox, and prevents any attempt to copy the CD or "rip" the tracks to MP3 format. The CD's restrictions also prevent it from being played or copied on Macintosh PCs.
    Capitol is a subsidiary of the EMI Music Group, which clearly has not learned any lessons from Sony BMG and their ongoing fiasco with spyware-infested CD's.
    Sony recently reached a tentative settlement in one of several lawsuits accusing it of surreptitiously installing software on users' computers that can cripple them.
    Although several enterprising listeners have found ways to copy or rip the Coldplay CD to their music libraries, by doing so they can face potential lawsuits, fines, and even imprisonment for violation of copyright. The ongoing battles over copyright protection of music versus the "fair use" doctrine have sparked increasingly hostile moves by record companies and fans alike.
    Artists and bands may suffer in the long term as well, when angry fans choose not to buy their CDs due to the DRM restrictions added by the music labels.
    As one Coldplay fan posting on an Internet forum put it, "The only way you and I can tell the record companies that we don't like the way they're kicking our butts adding this sort of technology' is by returning their crippled discs back to the store, or even better, steer clear of buying them ... I support the artists, it's the record companies that need a wake-up call!"

  • Itunes won't recognize iphone 4s after itunes 10.7, ios6 and ios6.0.1 upgrades

    I recently upgraded to ios6. My old version of itunes had to be upgraded to 10.7 to work with my 4s. Ok fine, whatever. Worked for a few days and then itunes has now suddenly stopped recognizing my iphone. Iphoto works so it's not a problem with the computer recognizing the phone itself. I tried upgrading tonight to 6.0.1. No dice. Also, now my ipad2 with ios6 is not being recognized by itunes either. Anyone else having this problem? This is really annoying, not having the ability to perform one of the most basic functions that these devices promise. Please fix these ios6 bugs, Apple. I'm starting to wonder why I ever stopped using an Android phone, which btw, is recognized at least as a hard drive for music loading. Your products shouldn't work this poorly with each other. I know at this point I'm venting but this stuff really is frustrating. Please work to keep me as a customer. Any tips anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

  • My iTunes won't recognize my new iPhone + "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" error

Plus iTune won't recognize my Apple ID (I don't want a new one, since it has the payment info and all). Anyone can help?

  • Itunes won't recognize my balance from a purchased gift card so I cannot buy any new songs

    itunes won't recognize my balance from a gift card & won't let me purchase anything from the itunes store. How do I fix this?

    I have a similar issue.  CD's I purchased were downloaded to ITunes years ago and used on my 1G and 2G Ipods and 3gs Iphone.  They are still on my ITunes but won't sync to my I phone 5.  curious if this is a licensing issue or flaw in the system.  Would love to hear my old CD purchased music without having to buy new digital music. Any insight to this situation would be great.

  • 2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

    So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
    Never had a problem.
    1.
    Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
    iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
    Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
    iTunes Helper is used during startup.
    Everything seems fine.
    Any help?
    2.
    I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
    I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
    They haven't been transfering over.
    So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
    My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
    I do not know why.
    No idea how to fix it.
    If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
    I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
    Can anyone please help me with any of this?
    I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
    Thanks so much.

    hey mill1640,
    Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
    If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Josh
