Payment Declined When Trying To Update App Store Free Updates

I have several updates on App Store on my iphone, these are on apps ive paid for that just generally need to be updated for free..
When i go to update them, it says payment declined on the card im using, yet i have a few pounds in my account and ive used the same card before, with the same details with no hassle. It's only recently it has started declining, yet it shouldnt even need to be taking a payment what so ever as updates are free! Ive even tried with another card and guess what, same problem!
Does anyone have the answer to this solution??

Get an error unknown error when trying to access app store

I get an unknown error when trying to access app store on my iphone 4...I have turned it off and on, updated the software, etc. I have never been able to sign in.

You could add your contacts in one by one (or a few at a time) on whatever you are syncing with (Google, MS, etc.) and try and catch which contact is causing problems when you sync.
If you've been helped click on , if you've been saved buy the app.

Change address from USA to Canada for payment verification when buying in the App Store

I am trying to purchase in the App Store ...asks me to update my credit card info....I am trying but it does not allow me to put in my correct address in Canada and only gives me a US option....this does not match my billing info for my card and it does not allow me to go further....any suggestions about how to allow a Canadian address as opposed to a US one?

Strictly speaking once you change countries you are not supposed to use the iTunes Store in another country.
"The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
You are supposed to change the association of your present AppleID to the new country. You will lose access to re-downloads of previously purchased media and to updates for apps. Before you change country make sure you have downloaded and backed up any purchases from your previous country's store. You will not be able to re-download them again once you change countries and it won't be easy to change countries to the previous one once you lose your payment method for the former country (as well as a wait period). As long as you have them on your computer you will be okay.
Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht6119 - "After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section."
Note, if you create a new AppleID as another person recommended it won't help much with your US associated account unless you continue to maintain a US credit card billed to an address in the USA (basically pretend you never moved to Canada and hope Apple isn't tracking the country of your ISP you are using in Canada when you try to do things with the US account). This would add to the complexity of using iTunes (which I won't go into in detail unless you insist) because it isn't really set up for easy multiple account use.

My iphone 4 v4.2.1 o/s reboots when trying to access App Store - help !!

My phone started rebooting itself yesterday afternoon after working perfectly for weeks. I have checked and can access most applications - messages, email, safari, ipod, calendar, itunes, contacts however when trying to access the App Store it triggers the reboot - the phone is running o/s 4.2.1

Well, as far as I can see, no one has responded to this question. Nor do I see any solutions mentioned in other questions by folks having the same problem. So I can only assume that there IS no fix.
Oh well, I know that one user is just "small potatoes" as far as the iTunes Store is concerned, but they've just lost this frequent little revenue stream - their loss, Amazon's gain.
Good-bye iTunes store - it was fun while it lasted...

When trying to see app store purchased history on iPhone, not all of the apps are being displayed?

I had purchased apps from the app store on my iPad and would like to install those purchased apps on my iphone4, but not all of the apps are displayed in the purchased history when I try to view it from the iPhone. Is there a limit that will display from the iPhone? How do I get all of the purchased history to display?

Your iPhone has to be signed in to the Apple ID you used on your iPad when you originally purchased these apps in order for them to appear under Purchased on your iPhone (i.d., Purchased will only show apps purchased under the Apple ID you are currently signed into). Find out which ID you used to purchase the apps (launch iTunes, highlight Apps on the left under Library, highlight each of the apps, go to File>Get Info and look for Account Name: This will be the Apple ID that you used to purchase the app).
Once you know the Apple ID, on your iPhone go to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom), Sign Out of the current ID, then sign into the new ID. Now go to Purchased and see if the missing apps are there.
Hope this helps!

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

Can't view terms & conditions in app store when trying to update apps

When trying to update my apps, I get a notification that says:
iTunes Terms & Conditions Have Changed
Before you can proceed you must read & accept the new Terms & Conditions
I am given the options "Cancel" and "OK". Upon clicking "OK", however, the Terms & Conditions do not show up. Instead, I am just back at the screen that shows my available updates.
Please note that this issue is different from other issues that say they cannot update apps because of this pop-up; their situation is that the Terms & Conditions show, and they are given an option to accept the Terms & Conditions, but upon doing so and trying to update the apps again, they are prompted with the same message. I am completely unable to view the Terms & Conditions entirely.
This may or may not have to do with another minor issue I'd been experiencing where certain applications do not allow me to switch to or from the application. For example, whenever I receive a text notification pop-up, clicking "View" or "Reply" will simply close the window but it will remain on the window that I am currently on and will not switch to the text messaging app. This also seems to be the case when a notification occurs in the notification center and upon clicking on the notification, nothing happens. This only happens to select applications, not all of them.
I am currently running on iOS 6.1.3 on a 16GB iPhone 5 with Verizon Wireless as my provider.

I agree with you. I have just encountered the exact same problem and it's frustrating. It's a bug.
Opening iTunes didn't solve the issue in my case.
Here's a description of the problem and the solution I found:
Problem
1. Opened the App store
2. Logged into my account
3. Clicked on the download link for the app in question — was presented with the dialogue that I should accept the terms and conditions etc — and pressed OK.
4. Nothing happens. Repeated step 3 many times but nothing happened.
Solution
1. Quit App store
2. Launch App store again and repeat step 3 above.
3. The terms and conditions will appear on the screen for you to accept and you can then proceed with your download/purchase.
