Living in Japan without a VISA card: how do I connect to iTunes store?
I'm now living in Japan, where it is extremely difficult to get a VISA or MASTERCARD.
How can I connect AND purchase apps on the iTunes store without a valid Japanese credit card?
you can _*Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card*_ by following the steps outlined in the support article.

My visa card suddenly was declined from the itunes store. What's going on?
My visa card suddenly was declined from the iTunes store. Is it because the amount on it is too small (less than a euro)?
Haven't heard about a song including a virus and if so, it certainly was not included with a song purchased from the iTunes store.
If you sync music, deselect sync music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. This will remove all music from your iPhone.
Reselect Sync Music and your previous selections should be selected automatically followed by a sync to re-transfer the music back to your iPhone. -
How can I connect to itunes store when error message -54 prevents connection?
The error message -54 is not defined properly or sufficiently, to attempt specific troubleshooting by the the user (not user friendly). Does anyone in the community have any experience with this error message? If so, how did you solve the issue? I suspect the impending migration to iCloud may hold the answer.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you're not able to access the iTunes Store, I would suggest part of this article:

Specifically, see "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows)" for troubleshooting steps.

you can use either a Music Card or a gift certificate to set up an account. (i used the gift certificate method.)
for instructions, see the following documents:

I Use Too Use A Redeem Card For My ITunes then I Used A Visa Card how Can I Click None Again For The Payment Style ?
On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iPhone then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment's screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have a pre-order or subscription due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ? -

I loaded cleartune a while back, there are upgrades/updates available, which I'm trying to load. When I choose update, it asks for my password, which I provide and I get a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store" I have many other apps I've loaded and upgraded just fine. However this one, the one I actually wanted bad enough to pay for, is wanting me to delete it and buy another copy. How can I update Cleartune without buying it again?
Hi all,
This is a very interesting situation. I did try to update one of my apps within itunes as was suggested. That worked !!
But then I noticed that I had 2 different logins that I must have created over the years. I almost forgot. I have a apple ID and an AOL ID. It seems that I purchased (actually they are all free) some apps with one ID and other apps with the other ID. I must have done this by accident.
So when I log out of one of the IDs on my Touch and then log in with the other ID, I can update the apps.
It seems that something changed on Apple's servers. It seems that until recently I was able to update free apps regardless of what ID I originally bought them with. Now it seems that's not the case. Apple must check this now.
Now that I know what the issue is, I'll make sure I use one ID all the time.
Thanks,
Steve -
when i purchase with visa card it tell me please contact itunes support to complete this transaction please help me
Many people are having this same problem. I myself was in touch with iTunes for over a week as well as with my bank (Capital One in this case). For Some reason iTunes has put your debit/credit cards into a "fraud mode". According to my bank representative people have been calling in for about 2 weeks about this, so you and I are not alone at all about this. For me I was able to buy anything as long as it was under $10.00, but anything above gave me the errors you are having. You need to contact your debit/credit card customer service numbers and first make sure that there is no "block" or "cap" on them for iTunes. Then ask them why it is being declined. They may ask you to verrify the city and or state which the iTunes store billing you is in, TELL THEM "CALIFORNIA". Then once you have done everything with the bank you need to contact iTunes Store which is only possible with email (or so Apple has told me), and have them reset the billing and and address information for your account. They will email you back saying that in 30 min...blah blah blah... Basically once they have responded log off from the iTunes store on every single apple device you have: iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iTunes on your computers, all of them! Then log back in through your COMPUTER and enter all of your information again. This should sove your problem completely. It worked for me.... Good Luck!

How can I delete my itunes store account
How can I delete my itunes store account
At the moment you can't - just remove any personal info from it (e.g. credit card details) and stop using it. If you purchased any content from Apple with it (music, films, apps etc) then you will need to remember the account id and password in case you ever want authorise it so as to use it on a different computer (or the same computer if, for exampel, you upgrade the OS)

How do i change my Itunes store account?
How do I change my Itunes store account details or change to another country?
If you are now in another country then you will need to update the billing address on your account (and if using a credit card that will need to have been issued by a bank in your new country and be registered to your new address), which you should be able to do via your computer's iTunes (Store > View Account menu option) or by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and logging into to it. You won't be able to change countries if you have iTunes Match, outstanding rentals or season passes or have a balance on your account - you will need to contact iTunes Support to get the balance removed : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If you are getting a 'not in this country' message when trying to download items from the stores on your iPad then yry going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on it and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country. -
iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) - Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried alot of solutions and nothing seems to be working at all
Each time I try to connect to the iTunes store, this has popped up. I googled error (-3212) and also followed the steps on iTunes support. I downloaded the new itunes and chose "repair files" all to no prevail. I use iTunes on a daily basis and bought and iTunes card 2 weeks ago which I now cannot use. Does anyone know how to fix this?Just in case, let's try the following document:
