Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


  1. Purchase something from the App Store at a cost greater than your balance. This is the quickest option.
  2. If you are unable to spend the remaining balance, then contact Apple Support to request a reset of your account balance to zero.
  3. If you need to change your region, then click ▶︎ Change Region for step-by-step instructions.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉

Do note Apple does not have support precence in Iraq directly yet though, even though they have no enetered the digitla market. They'll likely be adding supoprt soon. For now, you may need to use support from a neighboring coutnry.

Hello,


Buy something more expensive than your balance and pay the rest with a credit card. If you don't have enough for. single item and cannot add a credit card to your Apple Account, then you need to contact Apple Support so they can clear it for you.
