Please review your billing information and approve it

PLEASE help me before I pull out my hair! I have a photo book I've created in iPhoto 09. It's ready to be ordered (in-time for Christmas!) and no matter what I do, it comes back with a "please review your billing information and approve it". There are two things in this repeated (at least 20 times) process that I find interesting 1) every time I re-enter my account info, it says I have an invalid city, state zip code combination and 2) when I try to check out my preferences in iPhoto it freezes up (spinning beach ball) and I have to force quit. Here's what I've done already:
1. restarted iPhoto
2. restarted computer
3. re-entered billing information in apple store
4. enabled one-click purchasing and express checkout options in apple store
5. trashed iPhoto preferences
6. deleted my keychain preferences
7. re-entered account info in iPhoto
8. double-checked that I choose United State
9. Changed credit cards and tried all the above over again
I'm out of ideas. Someone PLEASE help me figure out what is going on!

every time I re-enter my account info, it says I have an invalid city, state zip code combination
The zip code error suggests you are ordering from an Apple Print Products Store in the wrong country. Your Billing Address, Shipping Address, Credit Card, Apple ID must all be valid in the same country as the Apple Store is you are ordering from. Is the region setting in your System Preferences > Language & Region the same as the country of your Billing Address and Shipping Address?

Book Error: "Please review your billing information and approve it."

Hi, I'm trying to purchase a book I created. It's 34 pages, with as many RAW images. The whole process seems to go fine until the end, when it spits out a dialog saying my account settings have changed, "Please review your billing information and approve it."
I have erased and reset my account with different credit cards with no change. This is incredibly frustrating, and this is intended as a Christmas present, so I really need to resolve this. I've spent several hours on it already and need some help here in resolving it.

Success! I figured it out and just got it to go through! The fix was to set my billing preference to "express." It was set to standard, and I kept manually changing it to express in the order to get here faster. Apple might want to make a note of this so their customers don't get frustrated when they try to spend lots of money with Apple. Also, phone support for people struggling and pleading to spend money probably makes good business sense in this economy.

Error message: "Please review your billing information and approve it"

I keep getting this message and I'm pulling my hair out. It says my account information has changed. My account information changed because I was having trouble ordering a book when iPhoto suddenly decided to decline my credit card even though I had just successfully used it moments before on a different book. So I re-entered my billing information. It is identical to what I had before. So then I get this message saying my billing info has changed and please review it and approve it. So I click okay but it doesn't actually take me anywhere. So I click on Account Info, look at the info and it's all correct, there's nothing to change. So I click okay and try again. Then it says to enter a valid security code. I go back and re-enter my security code. Then I get a message saying "Please enter a valid security code." AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

One of those should get you some help.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Error when Submitting book - Please review your billing information

I get the following error message when I submit a book for printing:
Your account information has changed.
Please review your billing information and approve it.
I went here to review my order status but I did not have any orders:
https://mercury.apple.com/WebObjects/OrderStatus
I reviewed my billing information on the web located here:
https://myinfo.apple.com
And it is correct
Any thoughts?

I got the following information from apple - following this fixed my problem:
1. Visit http://myinfo.apple.com and choose your country and preferred language from the pop-up menus. Then log in using your Apple ID and password.
2. Click Address Book on the left. If you see any blank addresses under Shipping Addresses, make the visible address your default, and then delete the blank address.
3. Click Phone Numbers on the left, delete all phone numbers, and save your changes. When you successfully place an iPhoto order, your phone number will be copied from iPhoto to My Info.
4. Check Apple ID, Email, Subscriptions, and Contact Prefs and make any necessary corrections. Save your changes.
5. Now open iPhoto.
6. Select a photo and choose Order Prints from the Share menu.
7. Click Account Info and sign in using your Apple ID and password. If you are unable to log in, try changing your password in My Info using the directions in step 1 above. Then return to step 6 and try again.
8. Click Edit Shipping and choose Add New Address from the Address pop-up menu.
9. Add the desired address into the fields, making sure to create a new label, such as "Home." Then select "Make this my default address" and click OK.
10. Now delete any other addresses listed by selecting them and clicking the Delete This Address button. You should now have only your default "Home" shipping address left.
You should now be able to submit your iPhoto order successfully. If the difficulty persists, please reply to give me the exact error message you see. I will do my best to help you resolve the issue. Thank you for your patience.

Review your billing info and approve it

I recently changed my credit card. I updated my account with the new info. iTunes works fine, but when I order prints from iPhoto, I get a error "Your account information has changed. Please Review your billing info and approve it. I click "OK", go to Account Info, sign it, approve all three categories. However, I still get the error when I try to order prints. Any ideas? TY.

For the record, an email response from Apple gave these instructions, which did work:
"I understand you are having some difficulties with placing your print order and you are receiving a message saying that your account information has changed. I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
I would like to recommend taking the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1) Please go to store.apple.com/.
2) Select "Account" at the top right hand corner of the page.
3) Click "Login", and enter in your Apple ID and password.
4) Click on "Change account information".
5) Enter your password at the top in both the "Password (at least 6 characters)" and the "Retype your password" fields.
6) Make sure the primary and shipping address information is correct. If not, make changes.
7) Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to the "Method of Payment" section.
8) Remove your credit card number, then click on "Continue".
9) Open iPhoto and select "Buy Book".
10) Click on "Account Info" (or "Set Up Account" if "Account Info" is greyed out)
11) Enter in the same Apple ID and password you used to sign in to the Apple Store.
12) You will be prompted to go through three different steps to enter in your billing information.
13) Submit your order."

Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?

Hi rixa03!
I have a couple of troubleshooting steps for you to try to resolve this issue. First, you should try closing the app according to the instructions found on this website, which is a troubleshooting assistant for the iPad:
Apple - Support - iPad - iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/#section_3
If the issue persists, you may need to try resetting the iPad, the instructions for which can be found here:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

"This Apple ID has not yet been used with the ITunes Store" Please review your account information.

I keep getting a message saying "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the ITunes Store" Please review your account information. Which I have and nothing happens - keep getting the same message. Please HELP me !!! My daughter is very upset that she can't download music or games onto her new IPOD.

I solved my problem by installing all updates for Windows from the Windows Update website. Hadn't done this for quite a while, once all updated. got the same message but then selected 'Review' after getting the 'Review your account information' button, then selected continue on next page and it took me to the billing account page, once that was set up, all was fine.

I cannot sign in. "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue.   Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc."

I applied and received an upgrade code to Redeem Mountain Lion for my new MBP.
I get this message when I try to Sign in to the App Store after entering the redemption content code, and also if I just try to "Sign In".   The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
I received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
I also tried to re-create this appleID...(it was one suggestion I saw for this issue) It doesn't let me since the ID already exists...
The error is:
"This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue.   Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc."
It's clearly not a cookie issue..   Stuck...

The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
Try here > Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
Correct.
It's clearly not a cookie issue..
As for cookies. Quit the App Store. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder.
Type this exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go the move the   com.apple.appstore.plist   file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store.

Apple id has not been used with the itunes store-please review your account information

Hello,
Good Day.
I bought apple ipad 2 and need help.
I registered online and after this i am getting the error.
apple id has not been used with the itunes store-please review your account information
Can any one help me in this issue.
Thanks&Regards,
Shankar.M

This is information you you have created an apple id.
To use this apple id for the itunes store, you have to agree to the terms and conditions and enter in the requested information before you can use the store.
When you create an apple id it does not mean you gain access to all apples features, you would need to create a :-
Itunes id
Facetime id
Game centre id
imessage id
icloud id
You can use the same email address as each login. but until you agree to each terms and conditions you wont be able to access the services.
This is usually done the first time you access each service and sign in with your apple id.
As to iTunes you need a little extra as they will request to confirm details as to address, etc, with the payment information they can confirm you are actually in that country you are trying to purchase from.
Once you have added the credit card details, you can go back in a set payment method to none and remove the credit card details once you have activated the itunes on your apple id.
Basically this message you are getting is just ADDING the feature of iTunes store to your apple id, and confirms you have not got a iTunes id yet.

When I try to sign in to my account on iTunes, I get the above error message, along with "Please review your account information". When I then click on "Review"

When I try to sign in to my account on iTunes, I get the above error message, along with"Please review your account information".
When I then click on "Review", it comesup with the page "Create an Apple Account for the iTunes Store"and presents me with the Terms Of Service.
When I click "Agree", It is disabled.
Can anyone tell me why this has happened and how to resolve it?
Please, please, please help.

Count me in as having the same problem. I have been leaving messages in the iTunes for Mac forum where others in there also are having problems. I have been unable to access my account since 11/7/2007. E-mails with Apple have not worked and now I haven't heard back from them since Saturday. I have tried both on a Mac and Windows machine and keep receiving the same error message that:
This Apple ID has not yet been used with iTunes.
I last purchased music with this account on 10/30/2007. I even tried resetting my password, changing my account info, trying on a computer with iTunes 7.4, etc. I have money in that account and 150 songs and 5-6 tv shows that I cannot access. I also just purchased a new computer and cannot sync my iPod with this computer since these songs will not transfer.
Apple really needs a phone number for technical support. Having to deal with e-mails back and forth (and waiting a day for each e-mail) is not a good business practice. Hopefully they will have a phone number in the future.
Either way, count me in on getting annoyed that a week later, this issue has not been fixed.

This account has not yet been used with itunes store.Please review your account information

I get this message everytime I try to sync my iTunes to my iPhone "This account has not yet been used with itunes store.Please review your account information" When I originally bought apps I used my dads iTunes account, but my dad recently passed away and his accounts have (or should have) been closed. I just recently set up a new Apple I.D. and tried to use this, but that's when I get the message.
iTunes authorization automatically defaults to my dads Apple I.D., so I enter my new I.D. and the message appears "This account has not yet been used with itunes store.Please review your account information".
I'm frustrated, any ideas? I really don't have the money to pay Apple to fix this!
Thanks

I changed my dads password, then went back to sync my apps and when it came to the Authorization, I entered his account name and the new password (which was by the way accepted and changed correctly) to have it come up on the screen as the incorrect password...REALLY!!! I went back and changed the password again...guess what? Same result "inncorect password".
As I mentioned my dad PASSED AWAY, there is no way I can ask him what his password originally was, i can't accesses his email account as it no longer exists.
What am I supposed to do, this is very frustrating.
If I use my new account that's in my name, the Authorization screen just keeps asking for my Dads account.
