YouTube Premium thread SEE OP

Found a way around this..if you go to download a video, it should prompt you sign up for premium..it offers a free month trial and then says it will take the payment from your Turkish iTunes balance..so hopefully it works after the month.

Great tip indeed, excellent work! Any idea on how to change the subscription to a family plan before accepting? Or can it be amended after? Thanks

I bought a year sub from Alibaba and it has been working fine. I am part of a family and never had an issue.
But we recently bought our daughter a new tablet and installed Google kids' space, but because I am not the family manager, I cannot add her under my profile and my YouTube premium benefits. Any ideas on how to get around this? I did create a 2nd profile, became family manager for my daughter and signed up through India but they shut off my benefits after a couple of weeks.

Thanks, but it won't let me log in as I am not a family manager. The parent account must be a family manager for Kids' Space

This actually worked for me but I must have messed up a step somewhere as it's constantly telling me my address is invalid when I click to subscribe. This now seems to be an iOS issue rather than a YouTube issue (also happening if I try to subscribe on other apps), so this seems like progress at least.

Just got an notification in the you tube app this morning that my sub will not renew next month….. - I’m using the apple turkey method. Haven’t looked into it properly yet as haven’t had a chance.

Yeah, same for me. Still have money on the account so I just selected to resubscribe and it seemed to work with no problems.

Mine had cancelled as well - but my balance was low so i just assumed it was that. Just topped up for another 6 months (6 x TL210/m = TL1260) worth of gift cards for €26.71 from Turgame (6 x TL210 = TL1260).

Resubscribed and all good again…..for now.

Only got a chance to take a look now, as with others I just renewed (in the subs section on the iCloud account not on YouTube) and seems to have work. I have enough on the account for next months but need to top up again after that which I won’t do now until I see if this keeps working.

Still probably not the best sign for this to have happened obviously something going on behind the scenes.

This looks to be targeted and nothing to do with low credit balances. I tried first to renew in the Youtube app on the iPhone and got the couldn't verify your country message but worked in the Apple subscriptions.

Maybe this might be more common going forward, giving a couple of weeks notice and hoping people can't access to renew so it lapses and can't sign back up again.

My Turkish apple account YouTube expired after midnight. I didn't get any notice and no way to renew at the moment. It's depressing seeing the ads back.

I got it working thanks to this tip. However, I did force me to login to apple and update the turkish address. Once that was done it accepted the vouchers as payment.

Can you describe that a bit more please? I've been getting the same prompt from Apple to input my password and that my address is incorrect or something. If I try to input an address on the iPad itself it seems that I have to add a payment method e.g. CC or phone which makes me think I'm missing something

Couple of weeks ago I setup as per the link and I couldn't get it to work - sounds like it was the exact problem you have now. I inputted the Turkish address but couldn't sort a payment method. I even removed my existing payment method but made no difference. Got a pain in my hoop with it so left it alone for a while.

I went back to it last night when I seen the download a video trick and it first asked me to verify the my apple account (the new one I setup) so once I entered that password it brought me straight into the Account Settings where the address details are. I entered the Turkish address, post code and phone number and it accepted it this time around.

No idea why it worked this way but it did. I hope that's of some help.
