"The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time"

This did not help! I am in South Africa and have been having this problem all day. All I want to do is download an app I have previously had on my iPhone device. This makes me never want to purchase Apple products ever again! I am not making a purchase I am trying to downlown an app in which you can make purchases. This is absolutely terrible!

This link did not help. I am not trying to purchase anything, I can access my account, I have internet connection both through WiFi and cellular. This message occurs whenenver I use ANY app on my phone. New or old. Why is this occurring and how can it be prevented

Same here - also I can’t log in into AppStore after I tried to log out and change password - I’m really worried about the fact I’m not even able to update my apps! When I start updating them the information pops out and everything is off... Tried everything, iOS is updated I verified the internet, try to log in log out, change password and try to change payment option...

The solution for this issue for me was reenter the payment information for the Apple id.

Change or remove your Apple ID payment information - Apple Support

Through the Iphone and Ipad I could not reach this information (unable to reach payment setting error message) but through the Mac Book it worked (appstore account).

Sure. You could try rebooting your phone to see if it makes a difference but there probably is an issue, at least in your region, that Apple have yet to become aware of, and will fix as soon as possible when they do. Contact - Official Apple Support and let them know.

This would appear to be an issue which is yet to register at Apple - Support - System Status. You're not alone. You can Contact Apple Support to let them know. Typically these get fixed within a few hours.

Same here! it just started today. I downloaded a free game and had no issues but now 3 hours later i cant do anything without it coming up!! the link does not help at all! i have a 2 month old iphone 8+

I have this issue as well. I read a previous thread from a few years ago that the error is popping up because it is trying to update apps and the updates are failing. I tried to update the apps that I have listed as having updates pending and they aren't working, so maybe the App Store is down.

Same problem here. It's affecting my iPhone, iTunes on my PC, my partner's iPhone and my partner's iTunes on his Mac. I've emailed Apple support but 48 hrs response time. I found some earlier discussion where people said they had solved it by turning off wifi and updating an app using their mobile signal and then it clears when they go back on wifi again but others said that fix had stopped working -- in any case it's not working for me. Like everyone else, not trying to make purchases, just use apps already have and in some cases have paid for! Very annoying.

I’m having say issue trying to update apps & trying to download apps. The iTunes Store I’m unable to process purchases at this time. Tried with WiFi, cellular but still same error.

Tried my wife’s phone on same network WiFi & she can update/download no problem, the same with my sons phone.

I even logged out & back in again but still same error.

Why is ur working for some & not others.

Assuming you were entering a two-factor authentication code a public post in this forum is not the correct place to do it. It will have expired by now so I won't bother to report it for removal, but don't post any personal information to this or any other forum.
