If you've never used this device with your account, it is most likely a security procedure to verify that it is you using the account on a new device and not someone else hacking your account.

  • Do I need a credit card for free apps

    Why do I need a credit card for free apps?

    It is part of the security process for the account. Use the None option if it is available.

  • How would I use a credit card for In-app purchases instead of my gift card credit?

    I have a gift card credits linked to my account, but I do not want to use it for an in-app purchase.  I want to use my credit card for the purchase.  Is there any way around this?

    You can't for in-app purchases, when you have a balance on your account then that will automatically be used for your purchases.
    For other types of purchase you can try gifting the item to yourself so that your credit card is charged (gifting can only be done via a credit card), but you can't do that with IAPs.

  • Why Apple apps keep asking for credit card for free app??? Not single of apps are free. So disappointed of Apple fan who likes iPhone a lot. Please fix it

    Wby Apple apps keep asking for credit card? No app is working

    Are they "Free" apps with In-App Purchases? If so, you need a credit card on file for the In-App Purchases.

  • Credit card for free app on phone?

    Everytime I try to get a free app. It ask's for a credit card? It never has before (started about 3 months ago). In fact, I've never gave info for a credit card? What changed?

    It is another form of identification for the increased security of the account. If you choose not to supply a card, choose the None option.

    Hi, Do I need a credit card for the app store to download games

    Hello yongxiahuang,
    It sounds like you would like to download free apps without a credit card on your apple ID. You should be able to update your billing information payment method to None with this article:

  • Why must I give an updated Credit card for an update on an app I already purchased? I have no outstanding balance.

    Why must I gave an updated Credit card for an update on an app I already paid for? Are they trying to charge me again? I have no balance and I am not purchasing any new apps.

    They aren't charging you twice. They just want you to verify your security code and expiration of your credit card. Better to make sure you personal info is correct then have a stranger try using your account.
    From the iTunes menu bar click Store / View My Account then click: Edit Payment Information.
    Make sure all the data is available then click Done.

    Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
    otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
    Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
    One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
    Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

  • I was charged no my credit card for the app store and i am not able to login, i tried to use the forget password options but it isnt going through

    Apple id : [email protected]

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why do you need to put credit card details in to the app store when you may want to simply obtain free items in the beginning?

    Apple clearly is a leader and thankfully are bringing fantastic products and initiatives to the market. 
    I certainly hope that the company doesn't get arrogant like it seems to do when forcing people trying to get free apps to put in credit card details. 
    I suspect it wouldn't be too much work to allow users to try it out first by using some free apps and when they are personally ready they can purchase to their little hearts desire.
    Poor showing from this perspecitive and easy to fix.

    Never put your credit card info into iTunes as Apple credit card security is horrible.  There are many cases of credit card problems with Apple. My credit card was compromised 2 weeks after creating an Apple account. That was the ONLY online usage of my credit card. 
    Apple does NOT follow PCI compliance which is the credit card industry standards for credit card data protection.  It requires all companies to NOT store credit card information online because (surprise, surprise Apple!) it can be hacked. 
    Why does Apple need to store the credit card data and put the information at risk and why do they not follow industry (PCI Compliance) guidelines - especially for free aps or updates?

  • Can I enter Credit Card for iTunes account on web?

    I just created an iTunes account recently for my son who has an iPad.  He'll be using this to purchase apps.  He has the iPad and also his Mac which has iTunes on it.  I want to be able to enter my credit card information into his account so that any apps purchased are charged to my card.  Yet I don't have access to his iPad or Mac and don't want to give him my actual card #.  Is there a way I can log into his iTunes account on the web and add credit card information?  Thanks!

    You can use an iTunes gift card to create an account. See this ->iTunes Store: How to redeem an iTunes Gift Card
    You can also create an account without a card and use it for free apps and artwork. See this -> Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
    Pay attention to step 4 "Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must purchase a free application by clicking 'Free App'."

  • HT2534 If i don't have a credit card can i still purchase songs and other apps that are not free?

    i don't have a credit card can i still purchase an album?
    if i can, will the bill of the album be added to my monthly bill?

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'added to my monthly bill', there isn't a 'monthly bill' for iTunes. If you want to download paid-for items from the stores then you need a payment method on your iTunes account e.g. credit card, Paypal (if you are in the US), iTunes gift cards

  • HT2534 can you use paypal instead of credit card for iTunes

    just got an Ipad & am trying to download apps but can't as I need to give credit card details.  Can you use paypal instead of credit card?

    Sad but true, I've tried to pay for iTunes Match with my credit and couldn't because it's a subscription service, regardless the credit amount I have. The system ask me to pay with my credit card too.
    How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
    When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.

  • HT5622 How do I pay by credit card for an app when there is a credit on my account?

    I have a credit on my account.  I want to buy a song on itunes with my credit card and not use the credit.  How do I bypass the credit?

    You can't specify how an item is billed, if you have a credit on your account then that will automatically be used - your credit card will only be charged when your balance is zero.
    If you want your credit card to be charged then you could try gifting the song to yourself (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift to yourself) - you can't use an account's balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card.
