Why can I no longer make payments to itunes with my debit card?

I have for many years used my ebit card as the method of payment on my account, but last month it failed and now wont accept the details at all.
Any help welcome as I dont have a credit card.

Hello Horsewood74,
Thanks for the question. Have you recently moved or changed addresses on your Debit card? Sometimes if the iTunes Store does not have the up-to-date information like zip code, your payment may be declined:
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.

As with many other merchants, the iTunes Store and Mac App Store places an authorization hold on your payment card account for the approximate amount of any purchase you make. If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.

You can also learn about choosing “None” as a payment option:

TS3297 I can't make Purchases on iTunes with my Credit Card.

I recently got a new Credit Card because the old one expired. My account was set up so that I could make purchases with my credit card. Now when I try to update my billing info with my new credit card info it says to contact iTunes support. Thoughts?

If you haven't already done so then you can contact iTunes support via this page and ask them why the message is appearing (these are user-to-user forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

HT1918 Can i make another apple id with same debit card id ?

Please help me

I don't think you need to enter a credit card to get an Apple ID because I know for a fact that I don't have a credit or debit card associated with my account. When I made my account I only had iTunes gift cards, so I didn't enter a credit card. I'm not sure if you can still do this though.

TS1702 Why can i no longer make in-app purchases from Megapolis?

After five days of using the Megapolis app, I am no longer able to make in-app purchases. The message I get says "contact the ITunes Store Support to complete the transaction". How can I resolve this?

You answered your own question:
"How can I resolve this?"
Answer:
" The message I get says "contact the ITunes Store Support to complete the transaction""
Do what it told you to do.

Why can I no longer make accents by holding down the "e" key for example?

I've had my Macbook pro for about 2 months now and I've never had an issue putting accents on letters. I would hold down the key and a small menu would pop up and I would click "1" per say and it would put the accent on the letter. All of a sudden it no longer pops up and it just puts multiple letters on the screen. How do I get that little menu back

Some applications don't support that feature. If it's not working in TextEdit and others that do support it, see below.
Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Log out and log back in. Test.

Why can I no longer receive any text messages with my LG Lucid 2?

Hi,
I have been using my phone for nearly a year now, and this problem started happening earlier this week. I can still send txt messages, but I can no longer receive any texts from anyone (no matter if the person who is sending me a text is using an Android or iphone). What should I do to solve this issue? Please help!

Hi Ho-Jun - Let's get those messages flowing again! Are you using the native messaging application or a 3rd party download? Have you restarted the phone since this began? I am eager to get this resolved once and for all!
Thank you,

Why can I no longer watch movies in itunes?

Downloaded a movie and had no problem watching it. Today I try to watch it again and no luck. What's going on? I purchased the movie from the Apple Store

I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app. It should work just fine, it does work ok for me on iphone 5. The original question was to play music videos in the music app. Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not. I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found. There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before.
The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play. There is simply no way to categorize or group videos. The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple. It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos. And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist. Actually it is getting worse. Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area.
Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
What is happening here???

Why can't I buy in dutch app store with Swedish Visa card?

With my Swedish Account it doesn't work and I tried to create a dutch Account but with a Swedish Visa card that's impossible.
Is it really not possible?
Can you only use your own countrys app store?
Jeanette

You can only use your own country's store. To be able to use another country's store you need to be in that country and have a valid billing address in that country on your account (and your credit card will need to have been issued by a bank in that country).
If there are apps or other items that aren't currently in your country's store but are in others, then you can try requesting that they be added to it, but ultimately its the app's developer (or record company etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell them in the Swedish store : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

HT1918 how can i cancelle something i purchased for itunes if my debit card doesnt have enough money on it

how can i cancelle a purchase on itunes if i dont have enough money on my debit card

Why are SO many people asking this question, and no one is answering? Why does no one at Apple ever answer these "support" discussions? It's just millions of people upset for various reasons (such as broken off buttons on the iPhone 4S that my poor mother has experienced, among thousands and thousands of others with ZERO help from Apple). And the only people who do find help here, get it from others who find workarounds without Apple's help.
I also have the same question as above, (and the thousands of others do as well - do a quick Google search or just look at all the similar posts to the right). I've tried to call Apple, and I keep getting re-directed to their website. I search their website, and no answer is provided. PLEASE RESPOND Apple. Geez louise. For such a profitable company, they sure don't help their customers very well. I have so many Apple products, I can't even count.
Your customer "support" is shameful, Apple. Unbelievably bad. #apple #fail

Can you buy things off iTunes with a debit card

I try and put my debit card details in to purchase an app but it just says card number does not match credit card type and I checked the number it is 100% right

So if you are trying to add a MasterCard, you are clicking on the MasterCard icon and then entering the card #? You have to do both.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes? Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade. Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!! Please can someone help! Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed. It was an option when installing Lion. Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later. Install it, reboot and try again.
