App store has started to ask for bank details on free apps

Not sure why, but when I now try to install free app, I get a message for my 3 digit No from my bank details, never done this before. Can anyone shed any light to this.

Even for free apps they put a temporary $1 hold on your card, which is probably why they need the info. Without it that hold can't go through.

  • BT asking for bank details over the phone

    On Friday evening I received a call from someone saying they were from Bt.
    The caller said my bill hadnt been paid and if I didnt pay it now my service would be suspended, (I was moved from quarterly billing to monthly and my direct debit had been cancelled an was now whole bill payment monthly).
    When I asked where the caller was from he said the Philipines, alarm bells started ringing. I asked to speak to someone in the UK and was told I could not be transferred, I then asked for someone in the Uk to call me, again I was told it wasnt possible as they had no contact with the UK.
    A call from someone asking for bank details immediately makes me suspicious, (theres lots of scams out there).
    Why is it not possible to speak to someone in th UK?
    Bob

    If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to help you.
    They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
    They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.

  • How to download OS X Mavericks for free? ... i tried apps but it asks for bank details.  I did internet search but it refers me back to Apple Apps. I hope you can help me.  TQ

    I want to update my Macbook 2010 and am advised OS X Mavericks is free, but when i go to Apple Apps it asks my banking details.
    I have never purchased an App (yet).  I did an internet search for answer and it also sais FREE but when i open the link it takes me back to Apple Apps.
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.

    You must have an Apple ID and an iTunes/App Store account that will request credit card information. In order to download free apps: Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card. Please read it very carefully.

  • HT201272 Why am I asked for bank details when downloading free apps?

    When trying to install and download free apps from the app store why am I asked to enter my bank details and confirm my purchase???

    For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
    Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

  • Been asked to re validate my account , even asking for bank details?

    Why would I ned to post my bank details so that my account is re validated? Surely credit card details are more t Han enough.

    It's a fake. Apple will never ask you to do that.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933
    Assuming you haven't fallen for the fake, just delete the email.
    BTW, this forum is for questions from people managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.

  • IPhone 4S has started randomly asking for passwords; saying they're wrong

    Hi Folks,
    I don't normally post to these forums because I tend to solve my own issues, but I'm having a problem with my iPhone 4S which has stumped (and angered) me.
    The device is running version 6.0.1 and isn't jailbroken or interfered with in any way.
    A couple of days ago it started asking me to input the password for both my me.com and gmail.com accounts and when I did as prompted the device tells me that they're wrong - but they aren't! The issue means that I can't access either of my email accounts from my device and I can't download apps that I've previously bought and paid for.
    I have tried:
    Restoring the device
    Deleting both accounts from the device and starting again
    Using the Google captcha to give the device access permissions again
    Rebooting
    Turning off 2-step security on Google
    Changing my me.com password
    Changing my Google password
    So far none of these have worked and I'm rapidly approaching my wits-end whereupon I hoy the device full pelt at a wall and buy something else.
    Could anyone shed a little light (or sanity) to this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    This issue is still a real pain in the arse - does anyone have any ideas?
    Thought of asking Apple but was told that I'd have to pay them just to ask a question about a flaw with one of their products! Great customer service.

  • Cannot. Access iTunes balance . Keeps asking for bank details

    I Cannot access my iTunes balance on my iPad Air.

    Is this the first time that you've tried to use the account to download something from the stores ? If it is, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove your card after entering it (if you are trying to gift content then you will need a credit card on your account, you can't use your balance for gifting).
    If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

  • When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine.  Please help!

    When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges).  I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here.  It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT.  How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password.  I reset it, but it did not change the problem.  Can someone help me?

    It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
    When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
    It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

    It is the same for the app store. You are required to have some sort of payment method in the record.

    In iTunes, click "Store", sign in with your Apple I.D. After singing in, click "Store" again, select "View my Account", re-enter your password and your account info will be displayed.
    Click "Edit" in front of "payment information" and select "None"
