  • When your iPad Settings open with the "General" options preselected, tap on the "Store" category on the left.
  • Then, tap on the "View Account" button at the top, and your iPad will display a "Sign in Required" message; tap on the "Continue" button to proceed and enter your credentials.
  • After typing your password, tap on "OK", and the "Edit Account Info" popup will open.
  • Tap on the "Payment Information" button to view and edit your credit card details.
  • If needed, edit your credit card information and/or billing address; once you are done updating your payment method, tap on the "Done" button in the "Edit Billing Address" popup's top right corner.
  • Your iPad will return to your iTunes Store settings screen.

Tip: for your protection and security, your iPad (and the iTunes Store) will automatically timeout your session.

Please try this operation again from the beginning" error message; all you need to do is tap on "Done", start over from the top of this tutorial, and then edit your payment information as soon as the screen opens.
