TS1646 My credit card works on iTunes on my PC but not on my iPhone 5 iTunes/App Store account. Any ideas why?

Question

I am using the same credit card, and when I download an app on my PC in iTunes it loads fine, but using the same card on my iPhone 5 it declines any purchases. I have checked the card, re-entered it and checked the billing zip code. Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi nezniezken!
First of all, Explicit tags will only appear if your music or song is downloaded via itunes on ur idevice or itunes app.
For example, your friend downloaded a song from itunes with an explicit content and you get or copied it to transfer to your idevice also... itunes application (pc or mac) will read it as an explicit one, but in your idevice it will not, unless you log in the apple id email account your friend used to download or buy the song to your idevice and download the purchased song. in that case u'll get the explicit tag
Using metadata, mp3tags, or any softwares that adds "explicit tag" will only be read by Itunes app. but not on your idevice.
Ways to check if you have a purchased music or song from itunes.
1. All music from Itunes are M4a or AAC file.
2. There should be a "Purchased By" and "Purchased Date" including the "Email (apple id account) and name" used for downloading the said song or music.
(Right click the song from your library, Click Get Info and you should see it.)
*If you have a friend telling he/she has a song bought from itunes and it is an explicit one, you will know the truth. If it has Explicit tag on his/her idevice then its bought from itunes, but if not.... he/she is lying.
*If your friend bought a song from itunes and you tried to copied it (an explicit song for example) you will also see the "PURCHASED BY" PURCHASED DATE" "EMAIL AND NAME" etc. but u will not see the Explicit tag once you put it in your idevice, but itunes app will read it as an explicit one,
There are many sites that are doing piracy, meaning... they are buying the song/album from itunes then upload it over the internet so other people may download it.
I hope i helped you nezniezken!
