UK: Payment processing is not available

Since Monday, I have been unable to buy music through iTunes store, as I've consistently got the error message "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time - Payment processing is temporarily unavailable...please try to make your purchase later"
I've tried changing my card to a different one, in case it's a problem with the connection to my bank, but on the relevant "My Account" page, when I click to confirm, I again get "Payment processing is currently not available"

  • Payment Processing Temporarily not available, try again later.

    Hey Guys,
    I might have a solution for the folks who are getting the error "Payment Processing Temporarily not available, try again later".
    If you have an active credit card and trying to purchase/register in the iTunes store this error pops up. On contacting support, they will tell you to check with the bank and they will also suggest an alternative solution for this(purchasing an iTunes Gift Card).
    My Perspective on the Problem:
    The bank or the service which Apple is using to process your card is not a 24hrs service. I am not aware if the same problem is being faced in US, Canada & UK. But seeing the previous discussions on this error, most of the Apple users in India and other countries are facing this. I reside in India and I have faced this problem.
    My Proposed Solution:
    Try registering your card after 9.30am GMT. I was trying to register my card all day long and as soon it was 3am IST, my card got processed and I was able to make purchase on iTunes. So, 3am IST is 9.30am GMT. 9.30am GMT must be the opening time for the day at the bank/service which apple uses to bill users. So, 8 hrs from 9.30am GMT should be the time you should try to use your card on iTunes.
    Apple should take care of this.

    I had this happen earlier this week - thought perhaps it was a Netflix problem.when it contined the next day, I looked for a reset button - there isn't one.  So, I just pulled one of the plugs out from the back of the Apple TV, waited a second and plugged it back in.  Worked like a charm and could now watch my movie.

  • ITunes Store: "Right now the credit card processing is not available. Please try again later . "

    Hi, I live in Bogota, Colombia. I have a first generation iPad and decided to enter my credit card to my iTunes Store account but I put the data correctly and when I accept I said "Right now the credit card processing is not available. Please try again later . " I tried several days but always says the same thing, try creating a new account at the iTunes Store but do not, someone could help me with my problem. THANK YOU

    I was having this exact issue when I was set up to use PayPal as my payment method. I fixed it by -
    1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done
    2. confirming this on my account page - which then said Add (or Set up, I can't remember) a Credit Card
    3. on the Add a credit card page, I again set up the exact same PayPal account I had before.
    4. I was then taken to the PayPal website to confirm that I wanted to use my PayPal account for iTunes purchases, and finally
    5. I was taken back to my account page in iTunes, which looked exactly the same as before BUT...
    The next time I tried it, my purchase went straight through! (And this was less than 5 minutes after I'd had the "Credit Card processing is temporarily unavailable" message.)
    YMMV, but I guess a similar revalidation process would work for credit cards too.

  • Offline payment processing email not being received?

    We just got an event booking today with credit card payment and have yet to receive the secure PDF for processing. Is anyone else having this issue today or in the recent past? I noticed that this occured back in Feb but is it still not fixed? Any clarity is appreciated.

    Do you have a good wifi or cellular data connection?  Have you contact your email provider, since you've done all the trouble shooting steps already.

  • Credit Card Processing is Not Available.  Try Again Later??????????

    Had to switch my iPhone to my MacbookPro and needed to update billing info. Simple, right?
    I have had this error message for 2 days and can not update or buy anything in the App store.
    Called Apple support and they created an iTunes ticket for me and have not heard back in a day.
    Am I alone with this issue, or is it broader and just not getting discussed?
    Help!

  • HT1918 I can't delete my credit card details - payment type "none" not available ?

    Followed instructions to change credit card details to"none" but prompt for "None" is not visible / available....

    I just tested.  It's there:

  • Payment method none - not available

    I have disabled family sharing, but I still can't select none for a payment method.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Bought 2 ringtones from iTunes an got both songs but saying payment problem with 1 of the songs and when I go to check card details its correct an it not giving me an option to delete card but keep getting MSG sayin payment processing unavailApp Store

    See this thread for background on why iTunes can end up with duplicates and how they can be systematically removed. The script there is for Windows users and the "show duplicates" menus have moved around in iTunes 11,  but the advice on clearing recently made duplicates should still hold.
    As given in my older post "Reorganize library" is meant as a one time command to change the structure of a pre-iTunes 9 library into the newer layout that places music in its own subfolder of the media folder. Once used, if the option becomes available again that suggests that a file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in the media folder has been deleted or editied.

  • R12 Payment Process Request only picking up 1 Credit Note per supplier

    I am using R12 v 12.1 and have found an issue when I create a Payment Process Request that includes multiple credit notes for a supplier. When I create the batch only 1 credit note is selected. When I attempt to manuallly add another credit note it adds it to the batch however when I confirm the payment batch only 1 credit note is applied The nett amount for the supplier is still positive so I am unable to determine why this issue is occuring. Can anyone tell me if there is a setting to allow multiple credit notes within a payment process batch for a supplier?
    I have found something but am not sure if this is the solution. Under the 'Process Automation' tab when I create a PPR template I have noticed an option called 'Maximize Credits'. If this check box is selected will it allow multiple credit notes for 1 supplier to be added to a payment batch or is this option used for something different?
    Can someone please help with my issue.
    Thanks

    Yes, you are correct.
    You have to select the option "Maximize Credits" that will select all the available credit notes for the supplier while processing the PPR.
    Thanks
