Cant download apps because Itunes keeps asking me to verify account info. Does anyone have a work around?

Signing out of the iTunes store and back in again might work.

There are normally some hoops you can jump through as you create your iTunes account that workaround the need for a payment card or bank account, otherwise once the account is set up the iTunes Store may still expect you to provide one, even if you are obtaining free content, which you can later remove. If you don't have or want to use a credit/debit card at this time you can try this method using iTunes on a computer...

1. Enable the menu bar if needed with Ctrl+B (only applies to some builds of iTunes 12 for Windows)
2. Sign out of the iTunes Store from the Store/Account item on the menu bar
3. Go to Music > iTunes Store home page
4. Go to Quick Links > Redeem
5. Sign in with your Apple ID
6. Go through the screens, accepting the EULA, etc. You should arrive at a Review Payment screen where one of the options is None - select this and continue. You shouldn't actually need to redeem a new voucher/card.

It is worth noting that one of the functions of the registration is to prove you have a valid billing address in the region whose store you are trying to use. You might also have difficulty selecting None as an option if you have any active subscriptions (see View, change, or cancel your subscriptions - Apple Support), an outstanding debit balance to the iTunes Store, there are unreleased authorization holds on the card (see About payment card authorization holds in the iTunes Store - Apple Support) or you are trying to switch to one regional store while being in a different region. See If you can't choose None when you edit your Apple ID payment information - Apple Support for more.

You owe money. Check your balance.

PayPal (requires the account to be linked to a credit card)

Fine print is a son of a so-and-so. Again, I've considered and tried pretty much everything. My solution is thus far the only one for the particular predicament I was in (and still am with my old Apple ID). Nonetheless, thanks for chiming in.

I am having the same issue. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

Every time it asks for verification, it's like all my address information, plus my card security code, has been purged from the system, and I have to re-enter it.

ATTEMPTED FIXES:

- I signed out of my Apple ID on all devices (2x Macs, 1x iPad, 1x iPhone) and re-signed back in on all of them, that did not solve it. Within 24 hours, it was asking for verification again.

- I tried dissassociating all devices and computers from my Apple ID, changed the password, and re-logged back in on each device. Yet within 24 hours, it's asking me to verify my payment information yet again.

- I tried changing to a different credit card, still no luck. Same issue continues within 24 hours.

- I tried changing to a different credit card that had a different billing address, still no luck. Same issue continues within 24 hours.

This is SO FRUSTRATING and I am at a loss for what to do. Apple's Support has been useless so far. Every time I try to make a Genius Bar appointment, they tell me to re-enter the information and then of course it works, and despite me trying to explain to them that of course it works now, but just wait until tomorrow, it will be asking for it again, they just give me the same canned responses and treat me like I'm technologically-challenged or something.

Anyone figured out what's going on?

I Have this same problem and I keep trying to update my apps on my iPad but it tells me to verify my account information and i put my card information even used a different card but it says that it doesn't match my bank records but I've used both of them before help me how do I fix this

I am having the same problem. Family organizer has verified payment information for the account, but the iPad wont verify. The iPad is my daughter's and we just replaced and restored it, but we cannot get it to accept the verification and we can no longer purchase apps for her iPad. We literally have tens of thousands of dollars invested in Apple products, movies and apps. And now apple has slammed the door on us purchasing any more. Can you imagine any other company treating a good paying customer the same way??? Please tell me apple cares enough to fix this.

none of these suggestions have helped me. my issue is within iTunes itself. no matter how many times i delete my payment type, i continue to get the red box that indicates, "You must verify your payment information before you can make purchases." I can't download anything on anything at this point.

And you are clicking on the verification email sent and following the instructions on it?

Did the problem go away after they deduct the money ??

OR what shall i do ? I have the same problem

Has anyone found a solution to this problem???? I've had the same issue for a long time and I'm extremely frustrated. I've never bought any apps or anything so "not paying" is not the problem. I've tried all the suggestions above and more. Nothing works.

Thank you for your enlightening insight. 😕

If Apple allowed any other form of payment besides a credit card (which I don't have) I may have been able to pay my enormous debt of 99 cents, but alas they don't, so I can't.

Yes, believe me, I've tried every suggestion I could find online before resorting to my eventual workaround solution. Using my debit card is also a no-go because it's Maestro; Apple only accepts Visa, MasterCard and AmEx. Apple needs to get into bed with PayPal or something, stat.
