Why am I getting a "Problem With Previous Purchase" when I haven't purchased anything?

Sometimes, quite randomly when I open anything on my iPad or iPhone and try to update an app or something of the like, iTunes asks me to verify my billing information. It gives me the reason "There was a problem with a previous purchase." And asks me to enter my security code on my debit card. When I do, even though I have plenty of money in my checking, it tells me I was declined and refuses to let me update anything.
I don't understand where the previous purchase problem is coming from, seeing as I have made no recent purchases.
This happens quite often and after several days of entering it again and again it will randomly work and everything will be back to normal. Later, at random, it will happen again and this whole process will repeat.
Please help me understand why this keeps happening.

HT1933 why am i getting charges on my credit card when iu am not buying anything?

why am i getting charges on my credit card when i am not buying anything?

First, if you're using an iOS device, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If you find that these were in-app purchases, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
If the charges are not in-app purchases that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.

You guys are taking money from my card when I haven't bought anything. last time I bought something was last month and 4.75 is pending from my account. not only that it won't let me update ANY of my apps because I don't have a card number. why do I need

I can't update anything because I don't have a card number I took my card off because you guys took money out of my account and now it's pending something won't tell me what it is but I would like to know what's going on and why money is being taken out of my account when I haven't bought anything in a month ..

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you checked the purchase history on your account ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
You can check if you have any auto-renewing subscriptions (and stop them if you do) by following the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. Names appeared on the phone screen but not MMI screen. Cannot dial by contact info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. When someone calls, only the number appears on the MMI screen, not their name or whether they called from their office/home etc..   Same with missed calls, dialed numbers etc.. Names appeared on the screen of the phone, but not on MMI screen. Cannot dial by searching contact and name info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones. Is this an Apple issue or Audi issue? Anyone with this problem? Help!

NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me. Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
     1)     If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad. Demand a replacement.
     2)     If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it. Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc. It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS. Apple, you have a quality assurance issue. Don't be like Microsoft where they send out pieces of junk with testing it.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why do I get a folder with a question mark on bootup

why do I get a folder with a question mark on bootup
my daughters Mac and she doesn't remember which osX version she had.
can't seem to get past that flashing folder with a ? in it

A flashing question mark at boot means no start up drive can be found. Solutions vary based on what OS is installed.
Try the command and r keys held down at restart to see if it enters "recovery" mode. Use the Disk Utility to find out more about the drive.

Why do I get pdf files with an underscore in the extension ( ._pdf) and how do I open them when they are email attachemnts, becuase it wont let me rename it or save it as any other version.

Not sure. What email are you using? Gmail (or web based email) by chance?
Definitely not a Reader issue if you can see the underscore in your email.
You can try saving it as is then try renaming it using Windows Explorer to see if that works.

Problems with color matching when printing...

Hi, I work for a small family business in the P.O.P. industry. We currently have myself and one other designer, we both take illustrator files that have come from the graphic design firm that we contract with and get them ready to print on our Vutek QS3200. However ever since acquiring the printer we have begun to run into problems with the colors when printing. When the files are exported off of my computer, I use either .tif or .pdf files, they print as they should, the colors seem to match the proof and everything goes smoothly. However when the other designer exports a file, he tends to do mainly pdfs, the colors tend to be extremely different from where we want them. Also we will get very strange results, such as yesterday he kept getting a faint yellow 1/2" border around his prints. After I believe 3+ hours of him trying, I was given the original CD and instructed to try. After 15-20 minutes of making the changes that we needed to make (adding a new price point) and ripping, mine printed perfectly.
We both use Macs, both have CS3 Design standard, only differences between the computers are mine is newer and a bit faster, and I'm running OS 10.5.6 and he has 10.4. He has also at some point loaded various color profiles, whereas my CS package is just whatever the default is when I loaded it. When we were being trained he grabbed the color profile off of the Colorburst RIP server and loaded onto his computer, plus I believe he has a couple for freelancing purposes on there as well. My thought is that these profiles are somehow corrupting the files that are going through that computer, but I honestly am lost with it at the moment. He believes the problem lies within the fact that he does not have the newer OS, I honestly cannot see that as having any effect on this at all. I was wondering if anyone has run into any similar problems, or if anyone might have any advice on this issue? I would really like to be able to solve this, as I was hired to do mainly structural design for the P.O.P. and I'm having to put in a lot of overtime to get my work done along with the additional work that I'm having to do.
Thanks for your time

I've got a few years experience calibrating large format printers. First, the Yellow sounds like a file problem. I used to work with two workstations, one PC ( RIP station ), and one Mac ( file prep station ). I tend to agree with you in that the OS is probably not the problem. But, any Colorburst profiles should remain in the RIP, not in the originator application. My workflow consisted of creating EPS files that were based on established color settings in their given applications ( i.e., Illustrator, Photoshop ) which were interpreted by the RIP which had it's own calibrated profile ( perhaps more than one based on how many different substrates were being used ). Your partner may be complicating things by incorporating a RIP profile prematurely. If there are deviations big enough to be noticed, there has to be something in the application color settings that is causing some type of corruption. This could lead back to the operating system, but I would think it lies somewhere in Bridge or the application color settings. Start there. You should seriously consider implementing a calibration system if you do not have one already. Another slight possibility is the driver's ability to interpret files coming out of Leopard vs. files coming out of Tiger. It may benefit you both to be in the same operating system dynamics, using the same driver versions and RIP profiles. At the very least, match everything that is currently working successfully and put them on both machines. If there is still a noticeable problem in color matching, then something is seriously wrong and you should call in a prepress profiling expert. Hope this helps.
