Unknown error occurred while registering for apple developers account

Looking to get into the developer program and I'm having the same issue that everyone else here is having.

If I decided to create a new appleID, would there be any problems with using a different appleID on the device I would be testing on for normal apple store and iTunes purchases?

Have you tried contacting support? I'm waiting to hear back from them. It's possible there is just maintanence. But gven the number of problems reported in this thread, I'm not sure.

Don't think it's maintenance since two people have reported creating a new appleID seems to fix the issue. I have noticed that when entering credit card billing address, I cannot select country nor state/province. Which I think is where the issue lays.

Yeah, same issue. If you make a new account (even if you don't complete the registration), tell me if it let's you select the state/province.

I will be calling apple on Monday to see if I can get my account updated. I created a new appleID and started the process with it and the country is filled in and I can select a state/province. I will report back.

Thanks for the info. I'll do the same.

At the moment because of popular demand for Apple Dev accounts (Becuase of ios 8 and Yosemite Betas) it may not work. Try again a bit later. If you really want contact the Apple chat support.

Contact apple support by going to apple.com then clicking support in top right corner then go down to bottem and where it says Contact Us click Get Started. Click the blue get started box, click Mac, iPhone or iPad (maybe iPod unsure) becuase not all selections support live chat but even if your problem isn't related to one of those topics they will still help. Then click one of the devices (If you are logged in then it will show your devices). If you don't have Apple care and/or your not logged in click non technical issue (even if your problem is technical they will still help), click one of the topics or click The topic is not listed if it isn't listed. Type your problem breifly then click continue, now select the type of support (chat in this case) and your off!

We now know what the problem is. As well this has been happening since January. But thanks for the heads up about the live chat information. Good to know we don't need to be completely specific about the issue we are having.

Have fun being a dev, it's great. I am one for Mac.

I want to push to get this issue resolved. Doesn't make us soon to be devs feel like apple wants us to develop for their platforms.

okboyfriend I found a workaround for the issue. It requires me to walk you through it though, if you contact me via skype I can get you going.

OK, what's youre Skype?

*edit*

I met the same problem with the Individual enrollment type. I found that, at the Submit step, my country is not displayed. I fixed it and I successed to register the developer account.

The steps I done are:

- Click "back" twice to the previous screen (to fill the billing address)

- Right click and select "Inspect Element"

- Find the hidden country input tag similar to this <input type="hidden" name="country" value ...

- You can see the country value is empty. You just change it to your country name

- Click Next and it's works

Hope it's help.

I reccomend calling anyway, as doing this can cause further problems. It's free and quick to call.
