App Store - no credit card & don't want to buy any Apps, only free ones

Hi,
I'm over 18 and I don't have a credit card (just a debit card). I have recently updated my OS and I now have the App store on my laptop. After exploring the various apps, I have some few ones in mind, of course I was just looking out for the new ones. I've never used my iTunes account till now so when I logged on so I can download the free app, it asked me for my credit card account. Of course, I don't have one, and I'm not planning to buy an app i have to pay for, is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance!

You say you have a debit card? Debit cards will also work. It's what I use. As long as it's not an ATM card and it has to have the Visa or Mastercard image on it.

    If you're in the USA, it would be hard to zero balance a gift card just with purchases as there are sales taxes in most areas that you don't know the amount of until the purchase is complete. My guess is that the issue is with the last purchase, there wasn't enough credit left on the card to cover the sales tax.

  • I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
    Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

  • How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

  • How to create iTune or App Store without credit card for my existing Apple ID without create new Apple ID or email?

    I got 2 Apple ID and the first time to I use it to iTune or App Store, a box will pop out and telling me this:
    "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the i Tunes Store. Please review your account information."
    Then, I click on the button, "Review". Bla bla... but ended up, I must provide a credit card in order to complete it.
    I do not have credit card, so I search 'How to create iTune or App Store without credit card', same link and same tactic only valid for New Apple ID.
    So, it seem no other option to create iTune or App Store without credit card for existing Apple ID, right?

    The same thing is happening to me!

    If you are not in the US with a US billing address and payment method then you can't buy items from the US store - you need to be in a country to use its store.
    Does your credit card work with your own country's store ? For it have a chance of being accepted the credit card then needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and to have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are.
    What's the actual error message that you are getting ?

  • I dont have any credit card so how can i buy some apps?

    I dont have any credit card so how can i buy some apps?

    If you do not already have an Apple ID try downloading a free app and you should be prompted to creat an Apple ID that you can use without a credit card. You must download a free app first. If you already have an Apple ID, sign out of the ID and then download a free app and you should be taken through the process that I am describing above.

    You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, though I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions. Have you added or changed your credit card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) ? If you haven't changed your card details or can't find or don't recognise what the charge is for then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    how can i register app store without credit card

    You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    If you don't use those instructions when creating an account then you will need to enter credit card details (which you should be able to remove after entering it) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

  • App Store and Credit Card

    I managed to redeem a app store 25 dollar card and it says i can only use it on Itunes India.
    Now i have 2 questions
    1) How can i verify the credit that i have through the app store?
    2) I try to download an app that is to be paid for. Now it requires billing information. Is it normnal for it to ask for billing information despite the fact that i have an app store credit. I just want to make sure that it will just deduct the amount from my 25 dollar credit as opposed to charging it on my credit card.

    In my experience they (Apple) will just place a hold on your credit card for $1 to make sure the funds are there. But should not charge it since you're using a gift card. They force you to enter a credit card.

    If you plan on buying anything from the App Store, you need to register a credit card with your Apple ID.
    This has nothing to do with your iPhone.
