"Tap Continue and sign in to purchase a gift"?!?

hi all, since yesterday i keep seeing an occasional pop-up message on my iphone telling me to "tap continue and sign in to purchase a gift". Very confusing, as I haven't done anything to initiate any sort of gift transaction. i've tried searching for that exact piece of text but there are no results to be found anywhere.
any ideas?

No. There is nobody here who works for Apple, the forum us strictly user-to-user.
I wouldn't say it's "strictly user-to-user". As terms & conditions states:
Apple involvement. Apple does not formally provide technical support on the Site. However, any information that is provided by Apple or Apple employees is offered on an "AS IS" basis without warranties of any kind.
Thanks for the suggestion. Although, the problem is not really to get rid of the message (as you can dismiss it quite easily) but to understand why it appears there in the first place. Is it a malware? is it a bug?
So thanks for that. Although as you mentioned, it wasn't very enlightening.
(The 2000 views were probably a couple of years ago. Look at the dates on the posts.)
I did. Half the people who posted had this issue in 2011, and the other half (including me) posted in the last couple of months. So it might be a recurring thing.
I have no idea when 2000 users googled "Tap Continue and sign in to purchase a gift" and viewed this post. Could have been 2 years ago or in the last couple of months.

Im trying to update my apps and it wont let me. When i clicked on an app to update it or to download a free app it says "sign in required, tap continue and sign in to view your billing information" when i did it says "you must verify your payment info before you can makes purchases" then "security code is invalid" when the security code is valid. I even switched credit card it keeps saying the same thing....... THIS IS NOT FAIR........ I WANNA UPDATE MY APPS!!!!! Btw idk why did i buy the ipad for, APPLE dont even let you download ADOBE FLASH PLAYER and must of the games required ADOBE FLASH PLAYER to play example: wizard101. Idk what i was thinking...... :(

Why not simply remove yoru payment info by selecting None at top?
APPLE dont even let you download ADOBE FLASH PLAYER
Considering Adobe dont (sic) even make Flash Player for iPads, this seems about right. How can you download something that does not exist?

Sign in required Tap Continue and sign in to check for downloads popup

Hi All,
I have implemented Auto Renewable App purchasases in my application, everything is working fine.
We are testing the app throughly and for each and every condition possible(network down,hundreads of sandbox users etc).
While testing the things many times we are stopping the transaction in beteween but after some time we were restoring the same transaction and it works after that.So far so good.
Now on many ipads we are getting the message popup saying "sign in required Tap Continue and sign in to check for downloads".
I dont know what this means because i have already purchased the product in sandbox and evrything works great but many times this poup is irritating us so please lt us know the solution for same.
Please let me know how to get rid of this error asap.Because of this error only Our QA's are not releasing the app.
Please help me out to solve this asap.

Same here, this is an irritating issue. I am getting this with non-renewing subscriptions.

"sign in required, tap continue and sign in"

What is this? I have never seen this before in 15 months. Is this malware?
It does not say WHAT app is requesting my Apple password. BAD DESIGN APPLE, if this is you.
If I click Cancel, nothing seems to be wrong. iCloud still works fine.

Huh?
I still don't know that this "sign in required" is for, it does not say. In spite of the curious post by gdgmacguy, I still need to know.
Can anyone help?

TS1702 ea game codes opo-up when redeeming "Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to sign in, then verify your payment info"

Hi there,
Not an urgent question, however I would like some help.
EA Games ran a great promotion over the holidays that offered free iphone/ipod and ipad games. I won a few but have not been able to access the games due a weird bug. Everytime I attempt to redeem the code on my iphone in the app store or via Itunes app a pop-up appears "before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to sign in, then verify your payment info." I'd happily click the continue button if there was one. But there isn't. I click on for the pop-up to move on and I'm back at the screen that asks me to redeem. Which I do and the pop-up returns. I'm fully logged in my payment method works for other app purchases or updates but not these EA codes. Very odd.

2. Restart the device
3. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Sign in again

HT201209 When I press redeem it asks me to sign in and then enter my iTunes card code. After entering in my iTunes card code it then asks me three times for my password. Right after it says: Error press continue and sign in to redeem code. Please help me

why is it whenever I sign in and put in my code it asks me three times for my password and then says: "Error press continue and sign in to redeem code." I really need help because I have three fifteen dollar cards that I want to put on! I had four but then for some reason the first one worked after a long time of trying but the other ones didn't. I have the latest version and all my stuff is updated.

You might have mentioned that. Your next step would be to contact iTunes Support:

Sounds like the credit card you have on file is probably invalid/expired. You'd need to correct that or set the payment method to None.

"sign-in required, click continue and sign in to check for downloads".

On trying to access the ITunes store or ITunes in general, I keep getting a pop-up window stating "sign-in required, click continue and sign in to check for downloads". Itunes then doesn't recognise the sign in attempt and the pop-up appears again. Has anyone seen this and have any thoughts or advice?

Tap continue and sing in to view billing information

Tap continue and sing in to view billing information

I tried doing that and I got a similar issue with mine too. Only worse. I have a $20 credit on my account. iTunes claims I owe them over $100 to them as well.

I am getting this message: This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes store. Tap Review to sign in, then review your account information. When I tap on Review it just doen't do any thing?

I am getting this message on my iPad : This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store. Tap Review to sign in, then review your account information.

Hi Abdul5,
This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
- Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
- Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

Authorize the coumputer. Go to store in the top of the screen and authorize it.
