Why won't the app store use my account balance to buy mountain lion.

I have an acccount balance enough to buy mountain lion but it wont draw from that balance.  A screen comes up to enter a credit card or redeem another gift 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.
The US prices in the Mac App Store (MAS) do not reflect local sales taxes. Apple collects the sales tax in the final steps of the sale. If the balance does not cover the full total plus the taxes,, then the MAS will need another method of payment, either redeem another gift card or supply a bank card.

  • Why won't the App Store open?

    I have a 2 month old iPad "3". Updated last weekend to OS6. At first everything worked fine. Then 4 days ago began having problems with Safari not opening pages unless I did reload. Then App Store won't open. Then iTunes wouldn't open either. Just white screen with spinner. Then message, Cannot connect to iTunes Store (which it says for both iTunes store & the App store). Yesterday App Store worked for about an hour, then was gone again. Today, completely gone. I can access it just fine on my iPod touch! Checked all settings. Time setting on automatic only gives me the spinner thing. Don't know if that's relevant. But all others Okay. Network okay, internet connection okay. Did restart, synced to my computer, still no iTunes or App store. Using Opera mini browser instead of Safari. I can't get the in-app purchase I made yesterday on my iPod - it won't open in iPad - still gives me the demo version. How am I going to use the app on the iPad? Very disappointed & worried.
    Anybody know anything about this?? HELP!!!

    Yes I am = I am having the very same problem.
    I synced the mini with computer. Now I can search App Store but can't download. I tried to sign out of my account, which worked, and sign in to another account (read about this somewhere that it had helped), but now it won't sign into any account. Just say "cannot connect with iTunes Store".

    Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
    http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Why won't the App Store accept my new AppleID (iCloud does)

    I recently changed my email for my Apple ID. I deleted the old account from my iPhone and iPad and put in the new email. When I got to settings-iCloud it says that I am using the new email. But when I want to download an app from the AppStore and I am asked to put in the password, it shows the old email. I have tried deleting and re-submitting this over and over again, but the problems remains! What should I do?

    Make sure you changed the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.  If you didn't, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with your new ID.

  • Why won't the iTunes store use my available credit?

    This issue has begun just recently (within the last 28 hours). I applied a $50 iTunes card to my account a week ago and made purchases that night and the next day. I have a +$30 balance remaining.
    I went to purchase a song this morning and it keeps taking me to the credit card payment page. If I cancel, I don't get my song. What the heck is going on? I no longer have a credit card.
    Also, since this has happened, I have two songs sitting in limbo. My store balance has been debited for them but they are just sitting in download with 'pending'.
    Useless!

    I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
    Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
    So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
    I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

  • How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

    How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

    Coupons as in iTunes Store Gift Cards? If you go to the iTunes store tab, there should be an option to "Redeem" in the Quick Links section on the right side of the home screen. Enter the code there to redeem the credit, and then download whatever you wish from the store.

    Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Either they've been moved to another home screen or dropped in a folder, in which case doing a search or resetting the Home Screen layout (Settings/General/Reset) should bring them up, or they've been turned off in General/Restrictions.
