  • I can't buy apps in Windows 8 Store: "your purchase could not be completed, something happened and your purchase could not be completed.

    When I try to buy an app out of the store, I get the message:

    "Your purchase could not be completed . " something happened and your purchase could not be completed '

    A new attempt of results in the same error.

    I tried most, if not all, solutions to this problem on the forums (definition of the location, date/time, reset the windows store, crossing the local profile cache, using several computers running different versions of Windows 8, using "sfc/scannow" in a command prompt, etc..)

    • This issue is not present on my windows phone 8 device.
    • At one point, I was able to buy apps with success.
    • I recently configured a VPN (Although disabling the VPN does not solve the issue)
    • I run 2 PCs of Windows 8 and use the same Microsoft Account for both
    • I recently transferred a XBOX live gamer tag to my Microsoft Account
    • I have a credit card and a PayPal account set up in my billing options
    • Recently, the PayPal account was not properly authenticate on my windows phone, I deleted and added it and it now works fine
    • In the account for the store settings (Windows + C |) Settings | Your account | Payment and Billing Information), he said: "before you can purchase an application, you must add a payment method to your account" when I click on add a doesn't MATTER.  To http://account.live.com billing options, there are two payment options clearly listed and functional.  What happens?

    That's all that I think I speak for the moment.  I know that Microsoft is currently changing parts of the Microsoft Account system, but I didn't know that an error like this would be because of that.  So I want to know what I can do to solve the problem immediately.

    Thank you

    OK, I solved the problem.  I still have questions using my PayPal account, but now I'm able to use my credit card.

    Here's what I did:

    1. Open the app Store
    2. Press the Windows key + C, then select settings
    3. Select the option menu: your account
    4. Select "Change user", then to connect to ANOTHER account. (I tried to simply connect to the same account again, and it did not work)
    5. Select the Add payment option (which should now work and load a menu)
    6. Close the menu and return to your old account using Exchange User
    7. Click on add payment option once again, it should now really open. (Assuming it wasn't before, that, for me, it wasn't)
    8. It will now allow you to add a payment, and I suggest strongly that add you payment options you have currently listed there.  I think there is a problem with the PayPal accounts in particular.
    9. Buy your favorite again, applications finally.
    10. Fact.

    My PayPal account still does not work after that.  Well, I think it has something to do with the settings "preferred payment method" Paypal.  It might be interesting to contact PayPal on this subject, because I am able to use regular credit cards perfectly well after this "correction".

  • App Store works don't make mistake, "something happened and your purchase could not be completed."

    I have connected to Windows Live and my computer. While earlier I could download Apps from the AppStore Windows without problem, I do now face the most useless error message EVER:

    "Your purchase could not be executed.
    "Something happened and your purchase could not be completed.
    If anyone has any idea what that 'something' means, please let me know. I get very frustrated with most of these "apps".
    If an employee of Microsoft Windows is reading this, please be more informative and less redundant with your error messages.

  • your purchase could not be completed itunes

    What did he say?

    Have you contacted iTunes support?

  • Your purchase could not be completed

    When I want to buy the head of State... what to do?

    Hi Alexander_dx316,

    I understand that you receive a message "your purchase could not be completed" on your Apple TV (the community you posted in).

    The first thing I would say is to log out of your iTunes Store account, then update your billing information.   This includes enter them your debit card or credit card number, expiration date and security code.  In addition, make sure that the name on the card and the billing address match the information on your bank statement.  Reconnect to your iTunes Store account when you're done.

    Modify or delete your Apple ID payment information

    If you have a balance on your iTunes Store account, and your current payment method does not work, you can try to use a different credit card or buy a gift card from a retailer iTunes local and which apply to your account to clear the balance.

    How are charged purchases on iTunes Store

    When you make a purchase, content credits are used first, as long as the value of the item you buy is less than or equal to the value of the credits. Gift cards are used then. If your gift card is less than the total cost of the purchase, the payment method that you have paid to the record is charged for the balance.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem with your account, please get in touch with the iTunes Store support team.

    Take care.

  • message "your purchase could not be completed" when you try to install Adobe Reader from the Windows store

    I try to install Adobe Reader Touch to my Surface installed Pro Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows store.  I get the following message is displayed:

    "Your purchase could not be executed.

    Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase.  "Error code: 0 x 080070057.

    Only, this seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader Touch.  I was able to install applications from other vendors and Adobe (for example, Photoshop Express to the elements).  So it doesn't seem to be a problem with my Adobe account, or a problem with Windows Store system.

    Anyone have this problem?  All solutions?

    THX.

    Hi jjquinn75

    I recommend contacting Microsoft about this error message as it is returned by the windows store program.

    Furthermore, I you recommend to download the installer for Adobe reader offline using this link (Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution ) and then try to install on your device pro surface.

    Kind regards

    I'm running Windows 7 (not Vista) and trying to install a Kodak printer driver and get "cannot install the printer. Operation could not be performed. error 0x000003eb"I searched constantly everyday for a fix. You have a solution other than what answers are already in this forum.  I uninstalled and reinstalled tried wireless and usb, installation driver separately, tried to install it in safe mode, run now utility scan.  I think that the problem began with an update of Windows 7 which has hung up and eventually having a corrupted file?

    Hello

    What is the exact model of the printer number?
    I suggest you to check if the printer is compatible with Windows 7:
    If the printer is compatible, then uninstall all the drivers connected the printer to the computer, download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer, the install without connection to the printer.
    Connect the printer when it prompts.

    If the problem persists, contact the printer manufactrer for assistance

  • Your purchase could not be achieved. Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase. Error code: 0x8086000c

    Original title: I can't download apps on the Store Windows on Windows 8.

    Until recently, I couldn't download apps from the store Windows on my PC in Windows 8. Even when I try to download free applications, I get the following error message:

    "Your purchase could not be executed. Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase. "Error code: 0x8086000c.
    Why is this happening?

    What do you mean by doing a refresh?

    My app store gives me the same problems and I don't know how to fix it or the other
    People,
    I had a similar problem.  Here's what I did to solve the program:
    Create a new user on Windows 8 with a microsoft account.
    When I connected, applications have been downloaded and I have confirmed that they are working.
    I logged on my original account (which was a local account).
    I followed the above suggestions of Mohammed Somasundaram.
    I logged in the windows via a browser (so not the app store) store.
    I uninstalled one of the applications (for example DRIVE).  Then, through the store (via web browser), I looked for "READER" and then install hit.  This launches the APP STORE and I was able to install it.
    I repeated the last step for each application (took a little time), but now they all work.
    Good luck.
