Wondering if you have disputed a charge from Apple.

If so, you may need to instruct your card-provider to allow payments to Apple again.

Eg:

What to do: If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support

If needed:

How to contact iTunes Support

(ie: when requested, in order to complete a purchase.)


Click on this link: Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support

2. Select your country

3. Select: Billing & Subscriptions

4. Select: Subscriptions & Purchases

5. Select: Update payment method

6. Select a chat session or a phone call.
