Close Apps & Check Network Connection

First, close all applications running on your iPhone and ensure you are using a reliable network connection.

Payment & Shipping Settings

Next, open up your system settings. Tap on your Apple ID name, and from here, select Payment & Shipping. You might be required to log in with your Apple ID account before making any changes to these settings.

Next, remove your current payment method if you use one. For example, you can re-add the same payment method if the card is not expired. If the problem persists, add a different payment method, as your current one is causing the Apple ID error you are getting.

iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Payment & Shipping

Update iOS Version

When this is done, head back to your main system settings, scroll down, and tap on General. Tap on Software Update and download the latest iOS version before restarting your device. This will not only fix potential software issues but also restart all processes on your device, which can help fix the iTunes Store error.

Apple ID Sign Out & In

Lastly, if nothing helped you out, you will have to sign out of your Apple ID account and back in. In your settings, tap on your Apple ID name. Here, scroll down and select Sign Out. Make sure you use a reliable network connection and sign back in.

Your Apple ID is probably just tired of being used all the time and needed a break! But seriously, it could be due to a variety of factors such as outdated payment information or a temporarily suspended account.
Can I bribe my Apple ID to start working again in the iTunes Store?
A: While we do not condone bribery, you can try updating your payment information or signing out and back into your Apple ID to fix this error.
We don't recommend this solution as it's not only wasteful but also dangerous. Plus, the error may still persist on your new device.
