The support article If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support explains how you can check your iTunes and App Stores purchase history, cancel subscriptions, and track possible sources of unrecognized Apple charges you may see on a bill. These may be purchases by Family Sharing members (you should see a receipt), others sharing your card (such as a spouse or a second Apple Account you have; you may not see a receipt). The article also provides a specific link for contacting Apple if you cannot trace the source of charges. If you use Apple Card you may find this document helpful too ➞ If you see an Apple Services charge you don't recognize on your Apple Card - Apple Support


You will need to pay outstanding balance before Apple will let you download anything more.


Read the links below about various ways to pay for items in the iTunes and App Stores.


- Add a payment method to your account. See this article about payment methods that you can use with your Apple Account --> Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support then see this article about how to add a payment method to your Apple Account --> Add a payment method to your Apple Account - Apple Support


- Add money to your Apple Account balance - "Use a payment method, such as a credit or debit card, to add funds to your Apple ID balance." This takes the previous payment method one step farther by optionally using it to irreversibly add funds to an Apple ID account balance instead of having the card charged each time.

If no option is shown to "Add Money to Account" using this method (you only see using gift cards) then it may not be available in your country. Use a gift card instead.
