How to fix the "Apple ID not yet used in iTunes Store" error?

The resolution to this issue is often making sure you have entered a credit card or other valid method of payment* even if you plan on using account balance to pay for a purchase or the item is free.

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 > Manage Payments > Add Payment Method.

Alternatively this document explains how to 'Add a payment method to your Apple ID' on an Apple mobile device, a Mac, or a PC; click here --> Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support

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.

Hi! I recently talked to Apple and they provided a solution! It was pretty simple:

1. Go into https://music.apple.com (if you can't do it on the app, try doing it in your computer).
2. Sign in and accept Terms and Conditions.
3. Go back to App Store and install whatever you want.

Hope it helps!

Apple support told me to accept the terms and conditions for the account which do not appear when I click on the review so later I found that you can do that from the settings once I change my country and accepted terms conditions it worked the steps I followed from this guide ***

Did you add a valid payment method to your Apple ID?  Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support also Accept terms and conditions for your account and check if the correct country is selected in the media and app purchases moreover, this guide also has some troubleshooting you can try that might help

For all of you being blocked by App Store even if you entered a valid payment method and shipping address, do the following (God this is so bad UX!) from a Mac (a similar approach should be taken if you use other Apple devices):

1. open the "System settings" from top left corner;
2. Select your account (considering you're logged in);
3. Now from here I managed to get redirected to the browser for an Apple web page and then again redirected to the "Music" app (where you should "verify" your App Store account); since I don't recall which one of the submenus I used, you should try either with "Multimedia files and purchases" (or something similar.. I have another language atm) or "Payment and Shipping".

Yes the UX is very bad: the App Store application was blocking me from proceeding with my data submition for no reason at all (the "Continue" button kept being greyed out after pushing it).

Read all the suggestions earlier on in this thread. Asking the same question for the 20th time won't change the solution and reading the answers already there will get you the information a lot faster. ;-)

I am stuck with the same issue clicking review but nothing shows up you mentioned you fix it through the settings after changing the country can you plzzz explained how or share the guide you followed ? I am not so tech literate and this has been so frustrating
