Hey so when I go to download an app it asks me for verification, just typing in my Apple ID password, i go and do that and it prompts me to choose a billing location/card and I choose one and it prompts me to put my Apple ID password in again. Then that repeats in an endless loop. Any fixes?

"Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to sign in, then verify your payment info."


The resolution to this issue is often making sure you have entered a credit card or other valid method of payment* even if you don't plan on needing to use it.


If there is an option to select "Review" or "Continue", select that and enter valid payment information if required. If there's problems doing this:

On a mobile device tap: Settings > [your name at the top] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Review Apple ID.

If you continue to have problems contact Official Apple Support - Select your region from the list and then your country from the pop-up window. If you do not see your country, see if there is an "other" listing for that region.
