Why is my visa card not accepted by itunes all of a sudden?

Tried different plattforms, Mac os x, ipad, iphone, by the same result, My valid (for sure, i have used it on other internet based services afterwards) visa card is not accepted by my Apple ID account.
Anyone have any idea whats wrong? Apple bug? Some disturbance in apple store?
It is not so comforting having no good error message or information from apple, except that the card is not not valid..

Let's make sure we're on the same page. When you remove your battery, is your phone turned on? Yes = proper battery pull, no = nothing will happen.
If your phone is turned ON, then it's time for an OS reload using BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Try that and post back with your results.

VISA card not accepted for payment

Hi there,
I have a question and that is not connected with the actual topic. Sorry. I want to bua a skype credit for my wife, but my visa virtuon card is not accepted. I already bought skype credit for me and my mother. So as I am the only card holder can I do it for my family. I don`t have any other card.
Thank You.

Hi, Peter, and welcome to the Community,
If you are using a Visa card, as the original subject of this thread (topic) would indicate, please contact your banking institution (issuer of the Visa card) to ensure your Skype purchase is not being blocked on their side, and to clear whatever reason there may be if this is the case.
Then, please contact Skype Customer Service to enquire what may be causing your payments not to process successfully.
Regards,
Elaine

Ipod(s) are not syncing with itunes all of a sudden

WARNING, this is going to be very long-winded. So I've exhausted every avenue I can think of myself, so I figured I'd try just asking on the forum here and hopefully someone can suggest a solution. First, the specs of the equipment/software involved:
Windows 7 64 bit O.S. on my pc
Itunes 10.3.1.55
Ipod touch 4thGen 64GB
Ipod Nano 4thGen 8GB
So a couple days ago, I tried syncing my ipod touch to my pc, and it wasn't recognized by itunes, it wasn't even recognized by Windows as an ipod. It doesn't even charge the ipod or light up the screen. All that happens when I plug it into the sync cable is that after about 10-15 seconds I get a windows error saying "USB device not recognized" Under windows device manager, in the USB devices section, when the ipod(s) are connected it shows an unknown device connected to the port, but when I right click and look at the details for the unknown device, it gives no indication whatsoever that it is an apple device, doesn't say anything about AppleMobileDevice, or anything like that, just everything about it is unknown as far as windows is concerned. The catch is, my ipod Nano is getting the exact same result, so if it's a hardware issure with the ipod itself, it struck both my ipods at the exact same time. So I went to work investigating and troubleshooting. After reading through the troubleshooting guides on apples website, some exhaustive google searches, consulting with a few people I know who work in I.T. troubleshooting, and reading through this forum for several hours looking for related issues, here is what I've tried:
1. My pc has 6 usb ports, I've tried using both cables (I have the syncing cables that came with each Ipod) with each Ipod in each USB port.
2. I've tried resetting both Ipods
3. I've uninstalled all apple software from my pc, rebooted, reinstalled.
4. I repeated step 3 but tried installing an older version of itunes (one that I know worked).
5. I tried every step I could find suggested by Itunes on the apple support website: Tried manually uninstalling/reinstalling the driver to the usb device, tried uninstalling the device driver while it was connected and rebooted (leaving it connected) hoping that windows would automatically install the right driver at startup.
6. Suspecting it may have been virus related, I've run exhaustive searches for malware/viruses with several different antivirus/antimalware/antirootkit programs using them in and out of windows safemode.
7. I did a windows system restore to a restore point back over a week ago, well before I started having issues.
8. I emailed apple support and explained the problem in detail, the sent me a link to the "applecare express service". That was extremely helpful...
9. I took my ipod touch, and both my syncing cables over to a friends house and did the following: Tried syncing it with his pc, he has the same exact version of windows and itunes as me, and it worked fine. It synced immediately and recognized the device without any problem whatsoever. While I had it synced to his pc, I master reset it back to factory settings, took it home and tried syncing it to my pc again to no avail.
10. I tried very politey asking it to please sync with my pc.
11. I plugged it into my stereo which has a built in ipod dock, and it works fine with that device, charges, plays music off the ipod.
I'm willing to consider buying one of the "pay-per-incident" help feature service things from Apple Express lane, if I thought it would help at all.
So, to anyone who was patient enough to read through all of that, any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I'm still assuming at this point that it has to be something software related, I just have no idea what, and can't think of a single thing that changed on my pc from when I synced it on tuesday morning, to when I tried to sync it on wednesday morning and this all started.

FIXED!
Follow up for anyone who reads this post and has encountered the same/roughly the same type of error. To recap basically what happened was one day Itunes on my pc with win7 64bit was working fine and syncing up with both my ipods (ipod touch and ipod nano) and the next day it wasn't working at all. What happened was when I tried to sync either device with my pc, not only did the proper drivers not install/function, but they wouldn't even charge. Well I spent some long hours trying to figure what was going on, wound up going so far as to format my hard drive (i had my data backed up first!) and do a clean install of windows 7, and even that still didn't fix it. In my frustration I decided to try to plug in some other USB devices I had lying around but hadn't used in awhile, (microsoft HD webcam, and a flash memory storage drive) and discovered I got the same exact error/symptoms with those devices, i.e. drivers failed to install in Win7. So now I realized that whatever was going on was beyond just itunes/ipods, and something was wrong on a systematic level. Basically, certain USB devices were functioning perfectly fine (mouse, keyboard, x360 controller) while others (ipods, webcam, flash drive) weren't functioning at all.
So what was the solution? Someone suggested trying adding a stand alone USB add on card. For those that don't know, it's a card you can plug into an available slot in your motherboard and it adds USB ports to a pc that otherwise doesn't have any, or adds extra ports to your current setup. I picked up a card at best buy for $20 that plugged into an available PCI slot, gave me two new available USB ports. (set-up is VERY easy for these cards, there is no set-up really, you just plug the card in and turn the pc back on)
VOILA!, after installing the new USB card, I opened Itunes, plugged in my ipod touch, and it synced up right away, I was so relieved. I still have no idea what caused the USB device/driver issues, or why adding the extra card worked, but it was a cheap and easy solution, and hopefully if anyone else encounters a similar "unsolveable" problem, this might help them.

Why will my iphone 4s not accept my credit card

Why is my iphone 4s not accepting my credit card always comes back with declined no matter how much money i have in my account

Is the card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (we are fellow users on here, 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

HT5552 are debit cards not accepted as one of the payment methods?

are debit cards not accepted as one of the payment methods?

This is a user to user forum, so why, we couldn't answer.
I found the following for you:
The Mac App Store, App Store and iBookstore services (the "Stores") accept credit cards issued by banks in India or Content Codes as forms of payment. iTunes may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing occurs at the time of or shortly after your transaction. If you are using 1-Click purchasing, your order may be authorized and billed in increments during one purchasing session, so it may appear as multiple orders on your statement. When making purchases, content credits are used first; your credit card is then charged for any remaining balance.
This is a long link, but if you read throught it, you'll find more information: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/in/terms.html
Otherwise, you should contact Apple Direction for an answer.

If you mean that you have been instructed to contact iTunes support, then will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to contact the iTunes Store.
If that does not answer your question, try posting in your native language, or find a friend with a better command of English to help you ask your question here.

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.

Payemment Card not been utillised for all 3 delivery Items when back order

Payemment Card not been utillised for all 3 delivery Items when the items are confirmed through Back order.
1 delivery item out of 3 are processed(Billed) with Paymet card.
But why not all 3 deliveries?
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

There is an Order with number 123456 there were three deliveries generated 123,234, and 345.
Only one of those deliveries applied to the credit card(123).
There are products on backorder and when the backorder is relased, they invoice without the credit card.
Actually all above line items in Order 123456 are confirmed through Backorder.
But all three deliveries have to have been processd(billed) through Payement card.
only 123 is billed with Payement card while other 2 are billed through normal invoicing without Payement card.
Hope sir this is clear....
thanks in advance

Why is my debit card being charged for iTunes purchases when my iTunes account is set up with my Amex card?

Login to the account on iTunes and under payment info, select none for the credit card. iTunes is supposed to use gift cards and store credit over credit cards but it doesn't.
