Are free apps really free?
hi, i know it may be a silly question but im just making sure, i have a bb curve and im wondering if the free apps on app world are really free or do i have to pay for data usage or anything? thank you very much
I'm at a total loss at how you derive this conclusion based on the answers we have provided.
How is verifying that it is you and not someone else using the account a scam? How is trying to stop an unauthorized person from using your account to download apps that will be licensed for your exclusive use a scam?
I'm perplexed and dumbfounded.

I just recently got an iPod touch 5 and it won't let me download apps. It says they are free but when I install it , it keeps popping up saying before purchasing I must tap continue to verify my purchase something like that. Idk what to do. !!!!!
Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

Why won't the App Store let me download things that are free, just because I don't have money on my card sometimes, it's free so I just don't get it??
You can try to make a new account on iTunes Store if you didnt have yet.
I had the same problem with iTunes Store, the only thing you can do is to put some money on that credit card you are using with you account. iTunes Store already keeping some money for the last purchase you made you can see all info on the Account option and then Purchase history ... -

Hello Sriggers,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are attempting to update some applications on your iPhone but the payment method was declined. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the information in the attached article to help resolve the situation.

Can you identify which of your iOS Apps are free?
I have a few hundred apps now in my iTunes library, and would like to identify which ones are free vs which ones cost money.
Both my iPhone and my wife's are currently tied to the same iTunes account. I want to create a new acount for her, but don't want her to lose all the purchased apps she uses.
For music/movies/tv shows, I know I can authorize play on her new machine, but I don't believe you can for the apps...or at least she won't be able to download updates for them without logging out and logging into the old account.
Any ideas?
thanksHello,
Just other users here like yourself, so Apple will not likely respond here, you need to contact them by other means. -
How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad??
How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad?? I have an ipad and it was open by another person's Apple ID and all the applications too. Now I have change the Apple ID by my name and I wanted to update the apps and I can't remember if the apps were free or not, and I don't want to delete them without knowing if they are free.
When you buy an app the app is permanently allocated to the AppleID account you bought it through. You can then download that app on up to five devices, as many times as you want, without buying it again. So deleting an App is not a big problem, you just log into your account in iTunes again, find the app, and instead of showing you a 'BUY' button it shows you a 'DOWNLOAD' or 'INSTALL' button.
If you change the AppleID account you use in your iPad then Apple will think you sold the iPad to someone else, and all the apps with that name will stop working anyway.
But you can change the name and email address for an AppleID account, without moving to a new AppleID account, by following these instructions:

IF UPDATES TO APPS THAT CAME WITH OUR MAC ARE FREE, WHY DOES APPLE REQUIRE BILLING INFORMATION TO BE COMPLETED IN THE SCREEN JUST BEFORE ACCESS TO INSTALLING FREE UPDATES???
It is necessary to confirm your identity as the 'buyer'. Please do not use all capital letters. It is not well regarded here and can be tricky to read for some. Thank you.

Tap Settings > General > International. Make sure the Region Format is correct.
As for your Apple ID. Tap Settings > Store > Apple ID > iForgot
Resetting your Apple ID may help.

I was wondering if the i work apps are free it says the name on top free but says 19.99

Why are you showing an iOS operating system with a Mac. Macs run on OS X. iPhones, iPads and iPods Touch run on iOS.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
If you don't qualify for the free app, then you pay the regular price. If you qualify, the Buy button says Free. -
I want to download free apps for iphone 4s but when downloading it is asking for payment info. the application are free but why it is asking for purchase details...please help me...
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" -
How come there are paid apps in the top free category? (iwork apps)
i was looking in the appstore and saw that the iwork apps are in the top free category why is that?
They are paid apps that are free under two sets of circumstances; they are free is you have bought a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013, and they are free if you owned the previous version of these apps, iWork '09 and have upgraded to OS X Mavericks 10.9.

help please what can i do i have a apple id that i have had scince i was in year 6 i have recently been unable to buy music or apps unless they are free because it asks for these security questions that i have no idea what the awnser is help me please
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -
When i try to install a free game i have to pay for every single one none of them are free, why?
Please explain in more detail.
Are you actually seeing charges, or are you just asked to enter your CC info?
If you're actually being charged, it could be:
iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds - Apple Support
Or:
Make in-app purchases - Apple Support -
HT1766 If in App Store and things are free or already downloaded why does it need my bank info
If in App Store and things are free or already downloaded why does it need my bank info
ITunes/App Store needs verification.
Put in your valid credit card details associated with your Apple ID.
You won't be charged if it's free. -
I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?
The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.
