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!

  • Why won't the iTunes Store take a new credit to replace an old one.

    I get a message saying there is a problem with a previous purchase. Please update your payment method. no matter what i do i get this over and over even tho both are active credit cards it just wont accept it and because of this i cant update any of my apps on iphone or ipad

    Sometimes when you get that message it is because you did not enter your 3 digit security number found on the back of the card by the signature line, or your address as entered into the iTunes database does not match exactly the address on the billing statement of the credit card.

  • Why won't the iTunes store connect on my pc?

    Just switched pc's. Reinstalled iTunes to the new pc. Want to sync ipad2 to pc, but unable to connect to iTunes store. Ran Diagnostic and the only failed option is finding a secure connection to iTunes store. Able to connect to internet thru explorer, so not sure why iTunes will not connect to iTunes store. Uninstalled and reinstalled software twice. Tried to sync ipad2 to the pc, got the message 'This ipad is already linked to another pc. If you continue all data will be erased and replaced with data from this pc.' I select yes, iTunes shows that the system is backing up, but then it freezes. Tried three times and it never gets past backing up, even after 50 minutes of backing up. Need help!

    Problems connecting to the iTunes Store often stem from issues with the Windows firewall or a firewall in a router, a privacy filter (such as McAfee Internet Privacy Service or Norton Internet Security), an antivirus/antispyware utility, or a download accelerator. Start here:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store Connection Troubleshooting
    iTunes for Windows: Connection Issues when using Internet Filters, Accelerators, or Firewalls
    iTunes for Windows could not establish a secure connection to the iTunes Store
    iTunes for Windows: Possible iTunes Store Errors
    for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. What you may need to do is temporarily disable any such service and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then if it's a firewall/Internet filter that's causing the problem and you'll need to set the offending service to allow iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why won't the iTunes Store allow me to make purchases and view my account information?

    Hello,
    I'm having several issues with my iTunes store account and was wondering if someone could help me. This is basically what happened...
    Problem #1 - iTunes store will not let me purchase music:
    I signed into iTunes (i.e. entered my Apple ID and Password). I looked up some music and pressed "Buy." A pop-up appears and says, "Are you sure you want to buy and download "Song Name?" As a response, I press the "Buy" button. Then another pop-up appears and says, "Improve Apple ID security - To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose 3 security questions and answers" and it also requires my Apple ID and Password. I enter my Apple ID and Password and press the "Continue" button. Another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" (Note: I am already signed in at this point). So, I enter my Apple ID and Password again. However, the "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" appears again. I'm signed in, but the iTunes store apparently believes that I'm not. Why is this happening and how do I solve this?
    Problem # 2 - iTunes store will not let me view my account information:
    While signed in, I click the button at the top right corner of the iTunes store (i.e., the button with my Apple ID on it - [email protected]). Then I click "Account." A pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." So I enter my Apple ID and password and click the "Account Info" button (Note: I am already signed in at this point). Then another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." Once again, I enter my Apple ID and password, then press the "Account Info" button. Then, the same "Sign in to view account information" pop-up appears again.
    Basicially, I can sign into my iTunes store account, but when I want to make purchases or view my account information, iTunes continuously asks me to sign in even when I am already signed in.
    Also, it might be helpful to note the following:
    - I want to change my account info because my old credit card expired and I now have a new one (and would like to change my payment info accordingly)
    - Also, I changed my password in hopes that it would help solve these problems. However, this did not help in the least.
    I hope someone can help me out because I do not want anyone else to access my account (and spend my money) due to its apparent malufunctioning. And thanks in advance for your help!
    Cheers,
    K.E.K.

    I had similiar problems with my itunes account and after some searching found a response that helped me - perhaps it will help you also...
    It has to do with the cookie settings in Safari (of all things!)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3559322?start=0&tstart=0
    I had the problem where when I started up itunes I was constantly prompted for my password regarding something about "automatic downloads". No matter how many times I typed it in, the prompt would just keep re-appearing (I tried about 8-10 times).
    When I tried to resolve the issue (based on another thread) by viewing my itunes account (in the top left drop down window where your user name is), I was getting odd messages about "make sure the date is correct", and itunes would not let me view my account.
    By turning OFF the option to block ALL cookies in Safari, the problem(s) have gone away.
    Open Safari - go to prefs - click on Privacy tab - make sure "block cookies" is set to "from third parties..."
    Good luck.

  • Why won't the iTunes Store remember my password?

    When I attempt to log in to the iTunes Store, I have to type in my password each time. It should be remembered through the Keychain, but doesn't. Any ideas? (iTunes 9.2.1, OS X 10.4.11).

  • Why won't the iTunes store load!!!

    When I click on the "iTunes Store" button on the left hand side of the screen, there is a blank page and the loading bar says "Accessing iTunes Store", it gets half way and then freezes. However sometimes, it does load but there is no formatting on. I am sure it is not my firewall because I have checked and it is not my Internet connection because it works on other computers running windows 7. I have tried re downloading and repairing the software but nothing has happened.Please could someone help me because it is really annoying. P.S. I have never been able to access it since i got my laptop.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • 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.

  • I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

  • HT1918 cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

    cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

    What happens when you try to change it ? You should be able to change by logging into your account on this page : http://appleid.apple.com
    Or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
    You might then need to log out of your account on any devices (iPad, iPhone, IPod Touch) that you have and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

  • I can't sign into the itunes store using the 3G network?

    I can't sign into the itunes store using the 3G network?
    I keep getting the error "Can't connect to the iTunes Store"
    This also makes it impossible for me to use itunes match with the 3G network.

    I've got this as well and it seems to have affected only the Music and Home pages - do a search in the search bar and you will get to the films etc. Looks like somone goofed! If anyone from Apple checks this out, mine is the UK store. Home page and Music pages only affected.

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.
