Why won't iTunes store save my credit card code?

I have to re-enter my credit card code each time I make a purchase through the iTunes store on my laptop (PC) running Windows XP.  Why won't iTunes save it?

Is it actually prompting you for a credit card, or just asking you to verify billing details? Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of billing information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none", if it's not already, which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. It may still ask - mine did for a while - but you should just be able to click through the buttons without problems.
By all means, though, if you prefer eMusic, use that service.
Regards.

  • Why won't iTunes store honor my gift card?

    My balance shows up, but when I try to download an album, it doesn't subtract from the balance, it only prompts me for a CC. What's up with that?
    ITunes is expensive and hard to use. Think I'll stick with eMusic which is much better!

  • Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach to apps

    Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach of no questions asked refunds within 15 mins if you aren't happy with an app?  I have countless apps that I have lost money purchasing because after installation they don't do what I want.
    ITunes ripping the public off, one app at a time!

    It either A) shows me a white screen where the store should be, B) shows me the white screen with iTunes Store written in the middle or C) actually shows me the store, but as though it can't read all the sophisticated coding and wants to convert it into just plain ol' HTML.
    With those symptoms, I'd check through the following document:

    (I've seen C reported before with the Bigfoot Networks variation of this sort of business.)

  • HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

    Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder? 
    If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder.  This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.

    Help iTunes locate your media folder:

  • HT4623 Why does the App Store want my Credit Card details to download a Free App?

    In recent months the App Store requests my Credit Card details before it will let me download a Free App. Why is this and am I going to get charged for Free Apps, a few weeks ago my Credit Card was charged $1 for down loading a Free App. Why is this happening? Jeanette143

    If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD, to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • ITunes Store now forces credit card information for free purchases...?

    Apple's support page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 describes how to download free App Store applications without credit card information, however the option "None" does not appear under the credit card information when attempting to download any free application or when trying to establish the account.
    It doesn't show up on the iPad, nor does it show up in the latest version of iTunes when trying to login.
    I was assured at the Apple store when I purchased the iPad that I would be able to do so (it was the final selling point for me).
    Am I doing something wrong?
    I found this post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2595632&tstart=30 which is useless to someone who does not have an account. Still no info from Apple about this.
    Message was edited by: Kennel Bookstore with a lovely sensationalist headline to admittedly get more attention.

    Since it works as it's supposed to, you must be doing something wrong.

    No it's not useless.
    That user was already logged in with an iTunes account. The user needs to be logged out of the store.
    I have notified Apple they need to amend that article and tell the user to log out of the store first (when using an iPad/iPhone/iPod).

  • Why won't itunes store open?

    When I click on the iTunes store, either a blank white screen comes up, or it will open then disappear after a couple seconds and go back to the white screen.  Thoughts on why it might be doing this?

    I dont know but am having the same problem and have had it for weeks.  Have tried almost everything and cant figure it out

  • Why won't itunes store accept my password?

    This is making me crazy.  I downloaded a couple of tunes earlier today, and after a reboot the iTunes store no longer accepted my password.
    Thinking that I had somehow screwed up something I went to Apple's ID manager and changed my password.  Every function (this board, iCloud) will accept my credentials but the iTunes store will not.
    Guess Apple does not want my money.  Are there other sites similar to iTunes where I can pay for media content?

    I didn't do anything to fix it - the next day, after another reboot (for an unrelated software update) I opened iTunes and tried again, and it worked fine. Go figure.

    I have this exact same problem!
    I have a PC with windows 8 32 bit, and iTunes version 11.1.3.8.
    I tried to run it as admin, did not work. I tried some winsock reset command, did not work either... I tried to repair my itunes files, did not work!

  • How to sign into the iTunes store without a credit card?

    For the past little while I have been very frustrated with itunes. I don't have an apple device, but I want to start legitimately purchasing the music I listen to (I live in Canada, so downloading music is legal, but I'd still like to purchase music to show support for artists I like)
    So anyways, I download itunes and it says to make an account. Okay. So, I follow the steps and then it asks for my credit card information. I don't have one right now, so I just left it blank. Suddenly, RED BOXES. D: I hate red boxes. So I can't even create an apple ID, eh? Hmm..
    So I go to the apple.com website and create an apple ID from there. Success! I can now go to the app store and get ready to purchase music...right? Wrong! "This apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information."
    Ooookkaayyyy...... so I follow the steps and once again I get to the billing information, which it won't let me skip, so I can't even sign in. I've done some googling and apparently there is or used to be a "none" option for the credit card?? Where has that gone? Why is it not there anymore??! >_>
    What can I do do get around this?
    TL;DR- I am so not apple savvy. Help me.
    Btw, even when I put in the little code thingy for an itunes card in the itunes card box it still wants me to enter credit card info. :/
    Eeeehhhhh..... Uhm, never mind. I guess I might have typed in the code wrong or something because it works now. Sorry for wasting youur time, everyone. I'm new to the whole apple scene, I'm an android convert... lol

    Hi tarameikle,
    Well, bummer! I'm putting a link to the article that shows you how to set up an iTunes account with "None", but it requires a new Apple ID. If you are setting up an iTunes account with an existing Apple ID, a Credit Card is required....
    This is the link for putting in "None" with a new Apple ID:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    This is the link for setting up an iTunes account with an existing Apple ID:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2589
    It does say that once you have set it up with a credit card, you can change it to None (there's a link for that embedded in the second article).....but it appears that it requires a credit card to start with
    Hope this info helps.
    Cheers,

  • HT1689 I want to purchase an app from the US iTunes store using my credit card with billing address inIndia

    Hi,
    I want to download an app which is unfortunately not available on the Indian iTunes app store. I have an internationally valid credit card with my billing address in India. I tried to change my store settings to see if I could log into the US iTunes store, but since all my credit cards are registered on my address in India, I am unable to log into the US store.
    Can somebody please help me in this regard?

    You cannot. To open an account on a different iTunes country you must have a valid credit card issued from a bank in that country. You must have a billing address in that country, as well.
    There are reasons why some apps are not available in all iTunes stores.
