You can create a new Apple ID without using a credit card for download free apps by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.  Follow it exactly as writtien.  Note that you have to download and try to install a free app and then create the ID.

  • I have itunes credit but it wont let me use it, and keeps asking me to put in credit card information. How do I get it to just use my iTunes credit?

    I have Itunes credit but it wont let me use it and keeps asking me for credit card information like it does if you dont have enough credit to pay for what you are buying. I tryed just clicking none but it wont let me, how do you get it to just take money from your itunes credit, not off a credit card?

  • Why am i asked to give credit card details for free apps

    I just bought an ipad mini. Why is it asking me to give credit card details for free apps like Linkedin?

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • How do I bypass credit card details for free app?

    This is the 3rd I've written this, I have no idea why this isn't posting.
    The annoying pop up keeps appearing demanding me to update expired credit card details. I'm trying to download a FREE app that I urgently need to use. But the pop up appears every single darn time. I don't use a credit card anymore, I just want to download the app I need, I'm using an iPad 2 if that'll help. Please help!

    You cannot download apps without a valid payment method on file with Apple. The link I provided gave you information about how to have an account without a credit card. This may also help:

  • Credit Card info for FREE apps

    I just got a new iphone, I am trying to download facebook on it, and it shows in the apps folder that it's FREE, but when I click to INSTALL it keeps asking me to verify my credit card security ID. Why do I have to give credit card info to download and install a FREE app?

    The credit card associated with your iTunes account perhaps changed or something. A valid credit card is needed for iTunes purchases regardless of their cost (or lack of).
    Actaully a Itunes card added the account will do the same exact thing. Added a CC, then a itunes card then deleted the cc, can get any free app I want

  • App store keeps asking for my credit card info for free apps!??

    Every time I go to get a free app, I keep getting asked for my credit card info to be updated. If it's free, why is my credit card info needed!?? I don't want to get charged, so I cancel out of the credit card request, it's not worth trying to get unwanted charges taken off. I would write to Apple but for some strange reason they refuse to use email for help. So, guess I will just try here.
    Thanks,

    Hello All,
    Even I do faced same issue on my iphone 5 recently, because I had updated my credit card details while purchasing 'whats app'. Later on if I try do down load free apps, it started asking me verify payment info..I got frustrated and tried to remove apple id and create the same id and reset networksettings, but issue not resolved.!!
    Possible scenarios of it occures:
    1. While creating your apple id you might have given credit card info an dlater that got modified/expired
    2. Once you buy anything by using credit card that info will be updated to your apple id, so it asks every time
    Resolution:
    Just remove your credit card details from payment information
    setting > icloud > account > payment information -- remove ur credit card info , done done
    Then try to download free app, it will only asks for apple password, It will not ask for 'payment verification'
    Thank you
    Krish

  • HT5622 Why am I asked to Leave my credit card information for free apps?

    Why am I asked to leave Or provide my credit card information to download a free app?

    To expound just a little bit more on what Ralph is saying ...if you do not set up your Apple ID in a very specific way from the start, Yoy have to enter credit card details even if you are downloading free apps. Your account details are now incompletely with the credit card, even though you don't want to use a credit card.
    This explains exactly how you have to set up an Apple ID if you do not want to use a credit card. If you did not set up the account this way, you are now forced to enter the credit card - if you want to use this ID.

  • My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

    My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

    No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
    This is occurring on a computer, correct?
    Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

    Are you saying that iTunes needs your credit card number to be able to download the app? If so you can give your credit card number to iTunes/Apple.
    If you don't want to submit a credit card (number), here is how to download the app without a credit card.

  • I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.

    Hi,
    I have an iTouch. I'd like to download some free apps. but I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • My iphone wont let me download free apps!!!

    okay so i used a visa gift card i had gotten as a payment method to use to download music on itunes and then finally it ran out of money. then later when i tried to download an app it said "sign in required" so i signed in then it said my payment method isnt working but i have no other meathod and i cant cancel the one i have so i tried again and it keeps saying the same thing.. it wont let me download anything.. what do i do?

    You probably have a past due balance in the iTunes store. If so, you'll have to enter a new payment type, or use an iTunes gift card to resolve the outstanding balance before you can proceed to download free apps, or install app updates.

  • Iphone wont let me download apps

    my iphone 4 isnt letting me download apps from app store, it goes onto the homepage and says 'waiting' then 2 minutes later it disapears!!!!

    Are you trying to do it on your computer or your phone?  Has it worked on this computer or phone before?  If so, when did this start?  Does it happen every time you try to download something now?  Are you able to connect to the internet using other applications?  Are you running any security software?  What version of iPhone and software are you using?  Have you tried connecting to Wifi instead of 3G or vice versa?  Do you get any specific error messages?
    More info would be good.
