How to check what is owed on your iTunes account

Phil0124 Is, in fact, entirely incorrect.

You can owe iTunes money using a debit card in the US, as I have many times. They don't always bill right away, leading to a situation where I don't have the money in my account, but have downloaded an app. Apple simply doesn't allow me to update my apps or download free apps/books/whatever until I've payed what I owe.

"

hi there, you can infact check how much you owe.

I know this because I actually owe itunes money..

to check you must use your laptop/pc go onto your itunes,

click itunes store, then where it shows your apple id click that and then 'account',

once on there scroll util you see 'purchase history' simply click this and it will navigate you to a page with all your current downloads.

the amount you owe will be in a bright red font."

This is how to check what you owe. Thank you DanHodson96

Check your facts before doubling down Phil0124.

Okay.. I understand the question as I have owed money to iTunes before. If you open a new account, or change your payment info, and buy things imediatley after, it will still go through even if there is no money on the card, because it hasn't had time to process it, after that it won't allow you to make purchases at all, even free ones, untill you pay off the debt by adding a new card, or redeeming a gift card. This has happened to me before, quite a few times. I had to contact iTunes through e-mail to find out how much I owed, but I have seen where you can go on the iTunes computer app and go to your account info and find out there.

It's called PRE-AUTHORIZATION people haha! I'm sure many of us have had this same issue with, say, for example: Your debit card has $28.47, you get gas, and you can slide your card through, and pump tip you're full. However. . . a few days later, the bank, your account? Eh not so happy about it ; )

The OP has been answered so I find it irrelevant to give out the step-by-step here XD

Yes iTunes does let you download a purchase without charging your card for that particular purchase. What iTunes does is to hold off charging the card if the purchase is small ... like 99¢ or $1.99. It holds off charging while letting you download ... obviously operating under the assumption that if you're buying one now, you may also buy another one, two or three in the next day or two. The longest I've seen iTunes hold off charging the card is about three days. iTunes does that in order to group a series of purchases under just "one charge"

ok. so not sure if this has been clarified, to many coments to read, but you can owe apple money, and buy stuff without having the funds in your account, i have bought many in-app purchases without having the money on my card, and now i owe apple the money beore i can make any more purchases, even free apps i can't get until this amount is paid off. so in that case, you can still buy games and apps, without the available funds in your card, you just have to pay them off.

Not true. You CAN owe money on your account, if your payment method (ie credit or debit card on file) is declined. Apple just puts it through, and then if it's declined, you still get the item you bought, but you won't be able to buy anything else OR download updates until you pay your balance.

It's likely to be your last purchase (possibly purchases if you did more than one close together), if that was within the last 90 days you should be able to see its value via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

Why would you want to check what I owe on my account?

Go to itunes on a computer,itunes store, account, purchase history.

You should also receive an email receipt for any purchases.

Thanks for the redundant post. Read the thread first please as your info was stated two months ago and confirmed a month later.

Yes this true because I am in Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean and we too have these debit cards. I can owe apple up to 40USD.

YYou can actually owe iTunes so anyone that says diff is thick

HHow did you go about fixing this problem as I am having the exact same? Do you just need to wait until you have then perfect funds in your account ?

If you owe money to iTunes, you must pay it off in full before you can download

updates or free apps.

Apple - Given that your a mobile company you should make this available on your mobile device. Just a thought!

I don't own a computer so how can I check how much My outstanding balance is on my iPhone?
