  • Why does iTunes say This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates.

    Why does iTunes keep telling me This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift cards, when I can automatically purchase music?

    I had the same problem.  Then after trying many times, it suddenly let me buy a gift certificate, but now I get the message again. I have contacted support via express lane and had no answer in many days.....

    Same problem here and it seems to be a problem that has been occuring, intermittently, for quite a while. I  received the following reply from Apple Support
    "You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
    As I believe that strength comes in numbers, please open a support ticket:

    Trying to buy iTunes gift card for e-mail but this message keeps popping up

    OK, it's official - Apple quality of care and caring is dropping like a rock! Faith in the company and its products is evaporating.
    Yeah, they wrote days after my daughter's birthday that the problem had been fixed but since they were so (too) late, I didn't bother to follow uo and make a purchase.
    Well, today I did and it didn't work.
    Am I surprised? No
    Am I disappointed? You bet

  • TS1424 why do i get this message "This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates."

    Why do i keep getting this message when i try to buy gift certificates "This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates".

    That's strange.  I had a different issue regarding the purchasing of a gift certificate.  I emailed Apple support.  The response I received did not mention gift certificates no longer being available. You'd think they'd mention that in the email.

    I am trying to buy help on my candy crush game but I keep getting this pop-up? Unable to Purchase. This item for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID. To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the app. My daughter set up this game on my Iphone. I am on level 65 and don't wont to start over if I don't have to.
    Any suggestions?

    If it was indeed purchased with a different apple ID then there is no work around for what you want! You can try signing in with your daughter's apple ID and password and update the app and purchase whatever you want then log back in with your apple ID. This may work!

    Are you still using OSX 10.4.11? I thought the Store didn't work with Tiger.

  • This apple id is not currently eligible to purchase gift

               

    I finally figured out that this is a fraud prevention "feature," and Apple/iTunes is deadly serious about it. ... I contacted support. They emailed back a day later and asked me to send a copy of a utility bill to verify my address. Well, I live on a SEMINARY campus where all bills are paid. Here is an excerpt from the support reply....
    "I see that you have not been able to provide a copy of your electricity bill because all your utilities are paid. I'm sorry you are experiencing this issue. As a customer myself, I can understand your concern regarding this. Let's see what we can do to get you up and running.
    "Unfortunately without a document that proves your current residence at the location listed on your iTunes account we will not be able to reenable the account."

  • This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates.??? WHAT???

    I'm trying to give my son a gift certificate so he can buy some games for his new iPod but I keep getting this cryptic message on both my wife's and my account. All the previous discussion posts on the topic seem to be unresolved except for a few that say it suddenly began working again. Is this how I wanted to spend my Christmas afternoon? Is this a problem related to the iTunes Store being too busy? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It could be related to being busy. Try contacting iTunes Support: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • HT2736 RFC: "This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates."

    iTunes allows me to select its "Buy" button on its "Confirm Your Purchase" page, but then displays a dialog with the subject text.
    Any suggestions gratefully entertained.
    Please and thank you.

    Apple is losing a BIG sale today because of this roadblock. Not only that, I will stop buying music from iTunes and stick to buying from Amazon which is easy and hassle free, including printable gift cards.. I have iPads under the tree for Christmas. I still have time to take them back and get some Kindles.

    Trying to buy a gift certificate and get this message.  Why?  Need help please.  Looks like lots and lots of people get this.

    Hi Cindy Lou
    I spent hours on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, slowed by so many steps and distractions, to send an important birthday gift the "Buy Itunes gift" specifically says you can do - only to get this not eligible Apple Id over and over.    I called customer service on the 23rd which contacted some dept. and then the  senior advisor, my understanding was they new why my account Apple Id was not eligible but they would not, could not tell me.  Really???     Ridiculuous - the system let me buy a $1.29 song but not a $50.00 gift certificate - does that make good business sense.   There are options to "I anything and everything"  after dealing with the website and people through customer service that offer no solutions that will be the way I go.   No customer satisfaction.   Glad this happened before I changed to IPhone - would not think of it now.
    Sorry to be no help, just agreeing.   KB

  • This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates.

    What???  Why not?  I want to buy an e-gift card for someone and Apple won't let me.  Why does it give me a menu option, let me click through all the steps, let me type a message, and then tell me???????????  If no one is able to use this feature, why does it exist?  HORRIBLE user experience.

    I believe there is a limit to the total amount that can be spent on gift certificates per month for security reasons.

  • This apple id can not be used to activate the phone

    hi

    i have my id and pass
    but when i enter to activate always getting error (xxx @gmail.com id can not be used to activate this iphone )
    how to solw now ?

    When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
    "This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
    Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

  • How come my apply device on this apple forum can't display the 'and' character?

    I'm sure it dose it at some other places, and I'm sure it's something silly I'm doing wrong.
    But when I type the &  (numeric then J) instead of typing AND, it dose them extra bits after I hit 'post message'

    See ^
    Why the    amp;    after the 'and' symbol ?
