Payment Info for iTunes store - technical difficulties? tried multiple time

Hi all,
I'm kind of new to these forums but I have a problem...
I have been trying to activate an iTunes store account for a while and I have my email and password and everything set up but when I try and "review payment information" (which a dialog box tells me to do every time I sign in), I agree to the terms, I enter everything - address, phone, card information, all that, and I keep getting a red error message at the top of the screen saying "We are sorry, the iTunes store is experiencing technical difficulties at this time. Please try again later." Or something of that sort. It is getting really annoying and I'm getting really frustrated because all I want to do is activate my account!!! It seems like every time I try and sign up for something with Apple, they are always "experiencing technical difficulties" or I am told "try again later". It gets really old really fast.
Has anyone had this problem? Better yet fixed it? Maybe its my ISP?
Anyone who is willing to help me out with the iTunes issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Alex

You are not alone!
I've had an account for a long time but for the past few days I've been unable to buy anything because I find myself stuck in a loop. Every single time I try to make a purchase I have to click a Billing info button and then check my payment details which haven't changed and worked fine before. I've tried removing my payment details and re-entering them but now I'm presented with a message that payment processing is not available, please try again later.
It seems the store is having problems and for me it was fine before the iPhone, App Store and MobileMe launches so I'm guessing there's a connection.
Best thing to do is contact iTunes Support which have always been helpful for me on the few times I've had to contact them.

How to verify payment info on itunes store? i want to rent movien on apple TV

i want to rent movies on my apple tv but.. how to verify payment info on itunes store?

This same thing happened to me several times.
Finally, I tried checking my credit card info in iTunes on my computer, and when I went in to edit it, I had to enter in my Credit Card Security Code again. There was a box next to it that said something about needing to re-enter the number since my account was being accessed from a new device. So, I entered my Security Code, tried the purchase again from my Apply TV, and it worked great.
Hope that helps.

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country.

Itunes store - technical difficulties - 6 weeks?!!!!!

I purchased an ipod nano 8gb in mid February.
So far, it is a not-so-good paperweight.
I have been trying to sign into the itunes store almost every day, several times a day, and when I try to sign in, it comes back "experiencing technical difficulties, please try again later". I have called Apple and they are of NO HELP. They do not understand it either.
Is anyone else able to sign into the store?

Thanks for trying to help.
When I try to sign in, the first message I get is: This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information.
So I click "Review". Which brings up the legal gobbilty-gook agreement. I check the "I agree" line and click "Continue".
Next, it asks for a payment type. I've tried 3 different VISA's, a Mastercard, and a Discover. Also my long-time Paypal account. All accounts are good, active and open. Even with Paypal, I always get a confirmation via email saying the account is "all good".
Yet, every time, I click "Done" on this screen, it always comes back with "we are experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later". Yeah, much later. Like never.
Just frustrated.

ITunes Store - Technical Difficulties

experienced problems when signing up in iTunes store.
I'm in HK with a HK registered credit card, want to buy Apps for iPod Touch.
After I input my information (my Apple ID and credit card) and click done, I've got this in my iTunes store page:
'We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later.'
I googled this and found 2 threads here but they are not answered, and the threads are archived, ie not allow to be replied.
I have the most updated iTunes and I tried again after security updated but still having this.

Thanks for trying to help.

How do we verify payment info for iTunes movies from our computer

we have tried numerous times to verify.
Nowhere is there a verify button to be found
when we try to rent a movie we keep getting the verify on your computer request for our billing info?
we have been renting movies forever and did so just six days ago now we get this vierify request that seems impossible to get rid of.
any suggestions besides going to acoount on iTunes store and reloading all billing and shipping info as we have done that ten times already

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

I have the same problem and I'm beyond frustrated. I just want iTunes 10.5 to work properly so I can download iOS 5 to my iPad. I've uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled iTunes (and all other apple programs) a dozen times. I've uninstalled Norton since I read that might be causing the block. I've checked my firewall and have done a "flush". I'm out of ideas!!!

My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers. How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether? I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

HT1918 Is debit card allowed for payment in indian itune store?

i can not purchase any app in itunes. every time it says "your payment method was declined". please clarify that if debit card is allowed or not for payment in indian itunes stores.
i am using axis bank titanium debit card "mastercard" for payment.

As far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. Do you have a credit card that you could use instead ? They are generally considered safer when used on sites that store the card's details.

How can I reset family sharing and payment info when itunes requires verification information from a lost credit card?

I was attempting to make an App store purchase and the App Store required verification of my computer. The information the App Sotre - and ITunes require is the expiration date [ mm / yyyy ] and the security code off the back of my registered credit card. The card is lost - and so is the information. ITUnes will not allow me to change the payment information without verifying my information by - again - including the information from the back of the missing credit card. So I am stuck.

This is my account info for iTunes & AppStore:
This is the payment info in iCloud Family Sharing settings:
Obviously I was able to change the payment info in iTunes/App Store. What do I have to do to make that carry over to iCloud?

Hi datnativeBUNNZ,
If your iPod can't connect to the iTunes store, check out this article for some additional troubleshooting steps:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Take care!
