Request for Credit Card krrps happening every 30 mins

I receive a request for credit card information every hour at least which my Trend virus blocker kills. This only happens when Firefox is open.

I believe i can fix this for a some of you out there. The problem is that Apple forces you to have the exact same address the USPS has one file. They do an address verification with the information you submit and they change your city and zip code to match 100 percent.
The problem is that most people do not change their billing zip code on their credit card when their zip code changes. For example, my zip code was 84088 up until about 3 years ago when it was change to 84081. I have never change my zip code or my city name with my credit card company so when i put in my billing address i always put 84088. Apple decided that they want to force people to change their credit card billing address to match EXACTLY what the USPS has.
Most credit card transactions can get a better rate if the billing address of the transaction matches the billing address of the card. That is why they always ask for it. However, it makes no sense for Apple to force you to change it to the USPS address because only the credit card billing address and the credit card transaction billing address need to match.
So, on to my fix. Do not put the whole street address, only put in the first set of numbers. If your address is "1000 Elm Street" then just put in "1000" ino the street address. Then put your proper credit card billing address zip code in. Because apple can't do the USPS database search without the full street address they will not change your city/zip but you credit card validation will work just fine because credit card address validation only cares about the first set of numbers.
SERIOUSLY APPLE?!? Get a clue! There is no need for you to force us to match the USPS address 100%.

  • App-store can't process my request for credit card data validation

    Hi all,
    I bought a macbook and I opened the App Store for downloading a game and test the Nvidia GeForce. But something went wrong with the validation of the account so i'm pretty stucked.
    I updated an old Apple ID, confirmed it with email and checked it onto the apple site. So my apple ID seems to be ok.
    But when I try to log on the App Store ask me to validate the account. After following some steps I arrive in the credit card section and I insert the credit card data the system says:
    "Is not possible to process the request at the moment. please try later."
    I tried yesterday and today about 10 times, but the message still appears. The weird thing is that I got a 2 Euro charge each time I try. So I have about 20 Euro less in my credit card but I can't still access the App Store.
    Anybody can help with this issues?
    Thanks

    Make sure your payment method is accepted >  iTunes Store: Accepted forms of payment
    When you type in the credit card account, don't forget to type in the security code. (Even if you aren't purchasing any content).
    it's Apple's way of verifying your account.

  • I am trying to add a game to my sons I touch pad. It is a free game. It asks for verification of password and credit card info. Every time, it tells me that my time has expired. Help.

    It asked me that too.Don't worry and just put it in. Itunes doesn't charge unless your son buys something. The password happens to me all the time. Credit card was only once. Just make sure your son knows not to buy anything without permission so he doesn't accidently charge you something.

  • In which country exists option None for credit card

    In which country exists option None for credit card

    "None" is an option in most countries' iTunes Store if not all. I doubt anyone here can provide a definitive list since we're all just fellow users and don't have access to nor time to try every iTunes Store available.
    Are you encountering a problem? Can you ask a specific question? That will be a better approach toward finding a solution then asking blanket questions.
    Regards.

  • I just bought an ITunes Gift Card and it is asking me for credit card information when I just put money on my ITunes account.

    I have no idea why this is happening. This has never happend before but I am trying to download music and I just added a Gift card to the account and it is asking me for credit card informaion.

    Add the credit card to verify your identity and then go back and select none to remove the credit card from your account.

  • HT201209 I have just put a $25 credit on my itunes acct. I previously had my credit charged one it doesn't acknowledge my $25 credit only asks for credit card info. Is there something I have to do to charge my gift card?

    II have just put a $25 credit on my itunes acct. I previously had my credit card charged  now it doesn't acknowledge my $25 credit only asks for credit card info. Is there something I have to do to charge my gift card?

    How much is the cost of what you wish to buy? The credit is used first and credit card info wouldbe requested for any outstanding balance. The US store prices do not reflect the local sales taxes that are added in the final steps of the purchase transaction.

  • HT5035 Why, when trying to download a "free" app from iTunes after it say's, "this apple id hasn't been used with the iTunes store" does it keep asking for credit card info???

    This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
    I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
    So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
    Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
    music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
    my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
    I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
    I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
    But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
    Please, can anyone help...?!?
    Sincerely,
    "Distressed"

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

    In the US you can purchase 'iTunes' or 'App Store' cards for cash at many retail stores, and apply the code from the purchased (validated) card to add credit (money) to your Apple ID account for online music and App purchases. It is my understanding that such credits can be used for US purchases of any online content, including music, apps, and movie rentals. Are such cards sold in your area?

    There are instrctions on this page for how to create a new account (it won't work with existing account) without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it.

  • I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this?

    I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this? Other people I work with and use macs have the same issue.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
