IPhone :: Error - Your Payment Method Was Declined
Jun 17, 2012
Almost everytime I try to install a free app on my Iphone 3GS it asks for my password, and then for verification of my payment method, even though the app is free. Then when I fill in all my details, all of which are certainly correct as I have used this card to pay for apple products in the past, it says my payment method was declined.
I just bought my girlfriend an iPhone and I'm receiving the error: "your payment method was declined." - however I am confident the details she has put in are correct!
I have a blackberry 8520 and any time I try to purchase an app of any kind I get the following error message:
Pay Fault: Error 540031: You do not have permission to use the preapproval key (Error Id: 540031)
A few months ago my blackberry decided not to work and so I had to do a full format and re-install and since upgrading to OS5 I have had the problem with purchasing Apps; Downloading free Apps is fine. I have also lost Memopad and can not restore it, but the biggest problem is buying apps.
I have received a BBM request from someone I don't know. I have declined it and now I want to remove the request from the requests list. I've tried selecting 'ignore' and then deleting from the ignore request list. I've tried deleting from my inbox but to no avail.
I am upgrading for the first time with ATT and Iphone. When upgrading, do I have to pay up front on the preorder or will it appear on my ATT bill next month?
i have got apple ID but while registering i did not put any payment information like my credit card and now i need to download some applicaiton which is not free and it keep asking me for my credit card details but it refuse to accept it
Ok can somebody please help me as I am literally about to break my iPhone off the wall in temper!.
I got an 4s and was able to download apps since I have bought it. I entered my boyfriends VISA card details as a payment method and we tried to buy an app for a joke even though there was no money in his account at the time. Now i can't download any Apps at all when i try to do so it asks me to enter my apple id password as usual which i do then another pop up comes up saying: Sign in Required:Tap Continue and sign in to view billing information. Even though the apps im trying to download are free?.
I dont have any other account details to give as Apple wont accept Laser card.. Can anybody please enlighten me as to what is going on.. its such a bloody complicated process!!!
Eager to try the next iPhone/iPod update? If you upgraded, but can't activate the phone, you are stuck, so the logical thing to do is go back to the old firmware and wait until it's officially released, but going back is downgrading. That's where you get stuck. So here is an easy and working method to downgrade. If something doesn't work, or I'm wrong about something, please let me know. This guide is for Mac only.
Step 1) While the Phone is plugged to the computer, hold the home and power button until the phone goes off and comes back on. When it does come back on and the apple logo shows, release just the power button. The iTunes logo should soon show up. (This puts the phone into device firmware upgrade mode which allows us to communicate with it) Step 2) Download Tools.zip attached and make sure it's in your Downloads folder. (This makes sure we know where they are so we can direct services to it) Step 3) If it's not already unzipped, unzip it (To access the contents) Step 4) Launch Terminal and type/paste: sudo cp ~/Downloads/Tools/libusb-0.1.4.dylib /usr/lib (This command moves a file which allows us to talk to the phone through the USB port to the appropriate location) Step 5) Enter Your password as prompted then hit enter (This gives you permission to move the file) Step 6) Make sure you have hit enter and gone to the next line then type/paste: ~/Downloads/Tools/./iRecovery -s (This is the tool engineered by wEsTbAeR-- and Tom3q that allows us to talk to the phone) Step 7) Terminal should now display information about the phone and the last line should say "(Recovery) iPhone$" if it does, type/paste: setenv auto-boot true (This tells the phone to stop going into recovery mode) Step 8) Make sure you are on the next line and type/paste: saveenv Step 9) If all went well you should be able to boot your phone by holding the power and home button until you see the apple logo. From there on you can activate and sync.
I just came across a script AppleHack23 is distributing (Probably created). I haven't tested it, but it looks like it only sends the commands to the phone, so you can use it after Step 5. (Direct download for the script)
I just bought a new 3GS since I'm going to sell my unlocked 3G on ebay. Yes, I was too stupid to learn about tethered jailbreak problems before I did this.The 3GS never reboots after JB! I've tried making my own ipsw with PwnageTool (Snow Leopard) and Blackra1n (Snow Leopard) and Blackra1n (Win7 x64).With Pwnage, it just is a dead brick stuck in DFU mode. With blackra1n it just has the usb-to-itunes screen. Have I uncovered a new more sinister bootloader or am I just out of it?
I'm completely baffled by the fact that Apple actually in ways punish you for not having a credit card. I only have a barclays VISA debit card, and as a result when I try and complete the self service apple support & repair form, I go to put a hold on the debit card for the amount shown, (£16) and apple won't accept the card. Apparently 'Debit and check cards have daily spending limits which could substantially delay your order. Using a credit card ensures that your order will be processed as soon as possible.'However, Apple are more than happy to take my money from my debit card when I buy apps, movies music etc.Is there anyway that I can actually work around this without going into my local store - (lack of time, and it's miles away)
I created my apple id willing to install few free apps on my iphone 4s. Everytime i select any free app it requests for password which looks good but then ,it asks me to verify my payment options , i would like to know ,Why ? I am getting free apps on my phone and not purchasing anything for which card info is required . This should not be happening for free applications.Is there anyway we can get this to work without having put the account info of card ?
iphone says have to update payment info and saying security code is wrong, iv'e tried multiple things debit and credit cards and nothing? i can't download any kind of app w/out it asking to update info.Also have tried updating through apple store and still saying its wrong
As we all know, iOS4 folders function so that they display their contents as tiny little thumbnails. You can change the folder icon, BUT, it still shows the app thumbnails on top of that. What I'd like to do is have folder icons and no thumbnails, so that you can essentially get the same result as you would using the Categories app (being able to pick your own folder icon), except without the hassle of using a now-obsolete functionality. So, in essence, let's say you have an icon of a game controller/joystick. I want that to be my icon for my "games" folder. I keep the stylish icon with no thumbnails, but when I tap it, it opens up like a regular folder.
I assume that this would involve changing the way folders function within Springboard itself (not as simple as replacing a few files here and there). Have any developers made an add-on that disables folder thumbnails, or does anyone here know how one would go about doing that?
I never thought I would drop my iphone 4 ever. I had it unknowingly on my lap, as I was getting out the car it flew in the air and landed on the back. The back of the phones glass is shattered but luckily no pieces fell off. Does anyone know of a legit back replacement I can use? I want to get a whole new backing for it with the pentalobe screw driver. I just don't know if I am getting scammed since there are so many fakes that distribute them. I was also wondering if there is a very cheap alternative to just buying a thin plastic case and placing it over the broken glass. The case would have to go over the back only since I hate extra bulk.
When I try to download and app, I am prompted to input payment verification info on the account settings screen. The screen automatically refreshes itself every 10 seconds or so, not leaving me with enough time to input my info. Because of this, I can't put any apps on my phone.
Using OS6 with Blackberry Bold 9650 on Verizon When I try to purchase an app from App World, I get an error message (11300) that the payment system isn't available and try again later. This has been going on for a while. Is there another issue going on? I have wi-fi connectivity, strong 3G signal, and BB services.
I am attempting to help a friend and also satisfy my curiosity. She has a Samsung "Rant" through carrier Sprint. She said that after her phone was turned off for non-payment, she can no longer use the phone. She claims she has been remotely locked out, as if you set a security lock code and forgot it, that kind of locked out. She swears the company locked her out to keep her from getting at her contacts. Is this even possible? I googled and the only thing I can find is blacklisting lock outs using the ESN, which I already realize. But to actually lock the hardware remotely, is another thing. I know they can remotely unlock. What is her best option to recover those important numbers, and do all carriers actively do this sort of thing (if it's even true?)
