"Your session has timed out"

I had the same issue. Fixed it by going to settings / icloud / payment info and updating there.

This solved it. Thanks, ding33.

ding33: Thank you for providing this solution. 🙂

Worked for me. Thanks a lot!

Your fix above didn't work for me because I use a different Apple ID for iCloud then I do for iTunes. However, I was able to fix it by going into Settings / iTunes & App Stores / and then clicking on my Apple ID and picking View Apple ID. Then I filled in the payment information there and went back to the App Store and was able to complete my purchase. Hope that helps.

I am getting the time-out notice even after going in to Settings / iTunes & App Stores and then viewing my Apple ID payment information. Gotta be fixed soon!

Thanks so much this worked

yeap! me too!

I ve gone to Settings but when I tried to download sth on ipad, it says it needs three security questions and when I fill them in it says my session has timed out.

Any help please?

I hit this same roadblock today with my iPhone 5 (except I never got the 3 security question bit - this may help you anyway). Strangely, it was working last night. Very frustrating. I can't imagine how much trouble people who are relatively unskilled with these things are having. Most of them probably don't even know about these forums.

Here's what worked for me:

Go to the Settings app

Select "iTunes and App Stores"

Select your Apple ID at the top (doesn't even look like a button)

In the popup that opens, select "Sign Out"

In the window that then opens, enter your Apple ID and password again, and click "Sign In"

Then go to the App Store, or wherever you were having trouble, and it should work

Let me know if this helps. It did for me. Everything else I tried failed because it kept telling my session timed out, even if all I was doing was confirming my credit card info. Or trying to download a free app.

This worked for me too. Going to the itunes app settings did not work but the icloud part did.

goodmorning!

thank you drewe2000! it worked today! i have managed to answer the three security questions without telling me that the session has timed out!

i have tried to sign out yesterday as well but it didn't help! (i have even deleted icloud account...)

thanks for the help!

Your account might be locked this has happened to me several times Contact iTunes and have them reset you apple ID

I'm getting a slightly different issue \. It doesn't matter where I enter the data either on iCloud or on iTunes I always get the same message in the end

Your payment method was declined . Please enter an other payment method. I get this message with both my credit cards. Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,

I also have the same problem. Until today both of my card still declined. Pls help me ASAP.
