Your payment method was declined

I bought a new ipod (4g) recently....any how i have created my apple id and verified it.but when it comes to download application from istore.they asked for my card information...i m sharing correct information but error comrs lik ths only "your payment method was declined.plz enter valid info. somebody plz help me.

I am getting the same problem. I have tried all of the above except checking with my bank, I am hoping that is it. But what really ****** me off is the fact that I can't update my apps that have been payed for or which are free, neither can I download new free apps. Apple should really fix this problem. Very tempeted to completely drop apple products and use android instead.

Yep Im starting to think screw apple aswell they dont seem to care for there customers & neither do they listen or fix problems the company is getting worse & worse & all they seem to care for is money & selling bullcrap products that are full of problems.Im quiet frustrated & annoyed off with apple & i think there soon to loose me as a customer anyone esle would be wise to do the same unless your happy with a company that doesnt care for you & fix there products.

P.S haha i guess they dont like ppl saying there pisssed off with aple , my post got censored lol.

OMG I've finally sorted this after days of searching and contacting support and getting nowhere...I was using my usual card when it kept getting declined, I tried 2 other cards and got the same declined message, I was only trying to update apps for free so couldn't understand why it was being declined, then I thought about how the iPhone bill comes days after purchasing things so thought maybe there wasn't anything in the account at the time of them deciding to take it, there was a few quid in my account that I use for apps so tried transferring more in to it...and finally that solved the problem, I attempted to download a free app and it worked, I then checked my bank and £9 had come out, so obviously that amount was still owed from previous downloads, could of been from up to a week ago as that's how long it can take up to for them to take it, not sure if that's the reason for everyone but that's what solved the problem in my case, like me u might have some money in the account and only be downloading free apps but if previous bills haven't been took out yet it will stop u from doing anything further at the app store, hope that helps as I know it's frustrating as **** getting no response from apple.

Apple need to get this sorted causing a lot of problems and is really anoying

Thank you Meakin30. This solved it for me. I had bought an app about a week ago and and no payment had been taken until I just tried to download another one. I had the money at the time but none in my account just now so couldn't download anything even free apps! Moved some money into my account and bingo all working again and payment taken immediately. Thanks again for figuring it out.

I get the message ur payment method has been declined please enter a new one.... All that happened was my money went in a day later than usual so payment didn't go through now I can't buy anything else!!! Sort it out apple I'm fed up with all this now istore doesn't work most of the time and now it is for a minute I cant buy anything!!! I thought iPhones were meant to be awesome!!! Sick and tired of this do u want my money or not?????

It happened to me, too... Yesterday everything was fine; now I can't even upgrade free apps. :(

Oh, this time it was my fault.

Im tired with this problem,APPLE! Your devices are super but your stor and all this problems are ****!

I am at loss, I have got apple id and everything fine. The thing is I can download any free apps with no problem but I couldn't able to buy apps with my credit card. I use debit at the moment. Is there anything I can do?

My payment method keeps getting declined and Im getting very irritated now I got a new credit card and it keeps telling me payment method declined ??

i bought now 1 at (22nd july )11 50pm then when i tryed 2 buy now 82 at (23rd july)12;10am it said my card has been declined

In my case was the same "Your payment method was declined" but I have realized that I have in my Visa a dayly limit of transactions set! That was a reason why the payment method was rejected . Apple was trying to get more then limit . After I have increased it everything has back to normal.

What has worked for me has been cancel my master card as a payment method (select "none" and confirm) and then register it again. Hope it helps.
