Why can´t I use my credit card on apple store?

Is this card issued by a bank in the country where you reside with a verifiable billing address in the country where you reside?

Why can't I use my credit card in OVI store?

After buying several apps in the Ovi Store using my credit card I was really surprised that Ovi Store does no longer accept my credit card because I'm not living in the US! (I'm requested to fill in a US address otherwise I cannot proceed.)
**bleep**! *
I'm not living in Iran or some other country on which the US has imposed sanctions. Can someone please explain? It feels like going back in time and I think Nokia will lose a lot of Ovi Store visitors this way.
* Edit: thanks for censoring
Solved!

As far as OP was concerned trying at another time with SIM in place worked "Maybe the payment failed yesterday because I had removed my SIM card... Although I cannot see a connection."

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

Why can't I use my itune card I redeemed

Why can't I use a gift card I recieved to make itune purchases

What happens when you try to buy something, what are you trying to buy (you can't use your balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card) ?
If this is the first time that you've tried to buy something and you are being prompted to enter card details then unless you used the instructions on this page when creating it : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering it.
Or, and if you are being prompted to review the account, then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

Why can't I use a debit card to verify apple id?

I am an adult parent with 3 kids and trying to set up family sharing. The process requires that I use a credit card to verify my age, but I don't use credit cards (purposefully) so I entered my bank debit card. It says I can't use a debit card, it must be a credit card. That is ridiculous, a bank card should be better proof than a credit card, and many people I know do not use credit cards purposefully. So it isn't letting me approve and pay for my children's account purchases. There must be a way to do this without needing to use a credit card.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
As long as the debit card bears one of the brand marks that Apple accepts, such as MasterCard or VISA, then yes, Apple usually accepts debit cards.

Can you only use a credit card to purchase products in the Appstore

Can you only use a credit card to purchase products in the Appstore?

You can also use prepaid iTunes cards, if those are available in your country. PayPal is also an option if you're in the US.

I would like to inquire about how I could have my iPad 2 repaired or replaced. I bought it With a credit card via apple store website last June 19 of this year. At first, I already noticed a little white spot in the middle of the screen visible when the display on screen is dark. I thought this was okay. Now, My problem with it is that, it now has green discolorations at the center whenever the screen display is black or dark I.e. When a website's color is black or dark or whenever I go to the search interface.
I am from the Philippines.
Please attend to this inquiry as promptly as possible. I'm sorry I have to send it here since I cannot see any email or inquiry page on the apple website. I also cannot reach the toll free number on my mobile phone.
Thank you very much.

That statement is false. Copied directly from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
"The iTunes Service is available to you only in( Insert country name here). You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
You need to be physically located in the country, its territories or possessions whose store you are trying to use.

Why can't I use my iTunes card balance to given an app?

Hi,
I have a balance from an iTunes card. I just sent an app as a gift, but iTunes forced me to use my credit card. Why can't I use my balance?
Thanx
Olivier

From the article from which you came:
Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you can't purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit.
Why Apple has this restriction I don't know, but many other download stores do as well.
Regards.

Why can't I use an iTunes card to set up Family Sharing?

I am not at all happy that the new Family Sharing feature will not let me use an iTunes gift card and will only work if I use a credit card. Since the beginning of 2014, I just discovered iTunes charged my credit card with $1,500 erroneously. While this has been resolved in my favor, we decided to not put a credit card on our iTunes account and just use gift cards. I was delighted to discover family sharing since I have two small children, but was dismayed to find out I cannot set it up with my gift card. FIX THIS, APPLE!

First of all, we are fellow Apple users, not Apple.
second, you have options to limit family purchases, including in App by turning on the permissions function.
last, you can still add gift cards and iTunes will use those before charging a credit OR DEBIT card, see below....
Setting up Family Sharing
When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards. You can change the billing method on file in your account at any time in your iTunes & App Store account settings.

Why can't I add my credit card to my account? It just tells me to contact itunes support.

It will not let me use my credit card info. It tells me to contact the itunes support at www.apple.com/support/iunes/ww/.

You need to contact the iTunes Store staff as opposed to just reading the information on their site or posting on these boards.
