Unable to update payment methods to my Apple Account with "Cannot Connect".

When I open my settings, a notification tells me to update my payment method. When I click on it I get a popup that says cannot connect with a button that says retry. You can click retry 100 times and nothing happens. When I try to restart this process and force quit the settings app, it does not work.


I have tried going through my phone app store as well as the app store on my computer but none of it is working.

Help.

If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud or your account, Apple has a list of things you can try in the document If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud - Apple Support


Is the iCloud server working? --> https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus


If you are using a VPN, try turning it off and see if you can then log in. E.g., AppStore - Apple Community


If you are trying to use a service from outside your Home Country it may not be available. Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions - Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple

- A. ”Our Services are available for your use in your country of residence (“Home Country”).

And: "Certain Services and Content available to you in your Home Country may not be available to you when traveling outside of your Home Country."


If an item is greyed out or restricted, see this support article —> Use Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


For more assistance try the iCloud Support web site --> iCloud - Official Apple Support


If you still have problems try official Apple Support. Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.


or:


Contact Apple for support and service --> "See a list of Apple phone numbers around the world."
