HT5622 Why do i have to submit my payment information when downloading a free app or game or upgrading a program ?

recently i have bought a new ipad (its my first Apple product) and i gave this ipad to my kids to use it so after a while my kid wanted to download a game and it required that i add my payment info. so i did and we downloaded the game  but after i while i noticed that ABOUT 100 dollars were reduced from my internet visa and that was when i found that my son was buying game coins without him realising that he is paying real money to get them , so i tried removing my payment information but it wouldnt let me too! so help me please on how could i remove my payment info.

  • Why do I have to enter all security info to download a free app AFTER I enter my ID?

    Downloadinf a FREE equalizer app and enter my Apple ID. The icon appears on my screen, then I'm "told" I have to enter all of my security info for the download to actually occur.
    TextFree assigns me a phone number just by downloading the app; why would a free music EQ require all of my info?

    Ok  I can understand the reason for additional security but the questions!!!!! When was I first kissed, which is my least favoutie car, what was the first album I owned.   I have no idea  yet I'm required to enter answers for storage and recall later.
    I suppose people are sad enough to remember all this - my password app is bulging already
    Why not allow people to add their own questions from their associated Mac
    Yes i can put fictitious answers on the iphone but i'm less likely to remember these

  • HT2534 Why is the app store asking for payment information to download a free app?

    I've never had a problem downloading free apps. Now, all of a sudden, I can't download a free app without going through the purchasing step, which I am not because it's free?! Anyone else having this problem?

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

    You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
    1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
    2. Go to App Store and select a free app
    3. Tap INSTALL APP
    4. Create New Apple ID
    5. Confirm Your Country
    6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
    7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
    8. Create and answer your secret question
    9. Select NONE for Payment Method
    10. Fill in Billing Address
    11. Submit application for new Apple ID
    12. Wait for verification email

  • Why apple forces me to choose a payment method to download a free aplication when I already check "payment method ...... NO" in the settings of my apple account

    why apple forces me to choose a payment method to download a free aplication when I already check "payment method ...... NO" in the settings of my apple account

    Asking for card details is a way of confirming that you are able to buy from that country's store, it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you are trying to gift content or an amount, that can only be done via a credit card) - have you tried entering the card, you should then get the 'none' option so that you can remove it

  • Why do I have to update my credit card info for a free app???

    I put a block on my credit card due to fraudulent activity and now I want to install a FREE app, why do I need to update my credit card info for a FREE app? If you will only charge me if I actually purchase an app or content what is the purpose for asking me?

    For identification purposes.

  • HT5622 Hi, I can't use my apple ID even when down loading free apps there's a prompt saying this Id has not been use in iTunes . What do I need to accomplish? Thanks

    Hi, why can't I use my apple ID even downloading free apps there's a prompt message saying " this ID has not been use to iTunes" what should i do?

    That usually means that your payment information is incomplete. Even if you want to download free apps, unless you were able to select "None" as your payment option when you created the ID, you still have to enter a credit card.
    There is a very specific way that you have to create an Apple ID if you don't want to use a credit card and I am guessing that is what you wanted to do originally, but you didn't do it correctly. The instructions are in this kb article.

  • HT5622 Why do I have to reset my apple ID when I dont use the ipad for a while

    Hi,
    I do not use my ipad everyday, and when I have left it 2/3 days I get a message to Reset my apple ID. Which means I have to keep making up a new password, does anyone know what I have to do to securely keep a password, instead of keep losing it. Thankyou.

    An Apple ID is associated with an icloud account and/or an itunes account.  Which of these do you mean?
    By reset, do you mean having to re-enter the password or do you have to change it?  If this is on an iOS device, I suspect you need to sign out of your account and back in.   (Did you recently change your ID's password?  That would cause your problem.)
    For example, for icloud:  Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in again using the right password.

  • HT5622 why do we have to answer the security questions when you purchace something for the frist time ?

    i forgot the questions i answerd.

    1. To ensure that you're the rightful account holder.
    2. Click here for information. If you can't get the answers emailed to you for some reason(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in that article.

  • Why my payment info. is asked in App Store even I want to download a free app. Is it mandatory now to update the payment info in App Store in ios 8?

    Why I am asked to update my payment info while downloading a FREE APP from App Store? I noticed this change after updating to iOS 8.

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • TS1389 To download a Free App, it ask me for Payment Verification. Why is that?

    In order to download a Free App, The App Store asks to verify Payment Information. why is that?

    You won't be charged for downloading a free app, though you may receive a temporary store holding charge each time that you add or change your card details (it should disappear within a few days or so) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    Is it a new account, and if so how did you create it ? Unless you followed the instructions on this page when creating an account then payment details will need to be entered before you will be able to use the account to download anything from the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • HT204053 Why do I have to submit my credit card information just to download free apps?

    Why do I have to submit my credit card information just to download free apps?

    You don't, if you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) then you don't have to give credit card details, you will get a 'none' option on the payments screen : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

    Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

    Either because you're trying to buy some sort of gift, or the iTunes Store servers are checking the validity of your account and won't charge the card, or there's a problem at Apple's end.
