    That can mean that you have an outstanding balance in your account. Have you logged in and viewed your account?
    You can contact iTunes.

    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
    If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click "iTunes Store" in the left navigation pane. Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

  • Can I download free apps to my iPad without putting in a credit a card??

    Can I download free apps to my iPad without putting in a credit a card??

    I think that the trick to this is that you have to try to download a free app in order to get the iTunes store to ask you to create the account.
    Copied from the kb article above .....
    Creating an account on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    If you already have an account, choose Settings > Store. Tap the Apple ID displayed and choose Sign Out.
    Open the App Store on your device.
    Find a free application on the App Store.
    Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install the free application by tappingFree followed by tapping Install.

    Hey Shamannnig!
    Here is an article that can explain a little more about this situation:

  • HT5622 how can i download free apps with out a credit card

    how can i download free apps with out a credit card

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    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.)

  • If ur account have money y u can not download free apps

    If ur account have money y u can not download free apps

    Are the apps in the AppStore for the country where your money is
    and where you are located?
    What happens when you try? What is the exact wording of any error
    message received?
    FYI: many ignore posts that look like texts. Take the time to spell out
    the entire word and use correct punctuation for a better response.

  • Can't download FREE apps to iPad

    I am trying to download "free" apps onto my newly issued school iPad but I keep getting message saying that there is a problem with the credit card that is on file. So, how do I remove that credit card from my file?

    Hello Star Cox,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You must have permission to access the Apple ID and password for the account to update the billing information.
    You can select None for credit card information as long as there is no outstanding balance on the account with this article:
    iTunes Store: Changing account information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
    Changing your account information using an iOS device:
    Tap Settings on the Home screen.
    Tap iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap on your Apple ID. (If you are not signed in, enter your Apple ID and password, and tap Sign In.)
    Tap View Apple ID.
    Enter your Apple ID password.
    Then
    To update your name, billing address, or payment information, follow these instructions:
    In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
    Update the information that you want to change.
    Tap the Done button when finished.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • No credit card--can't download free apps.

    I printed out the instructions listed in the link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534) because I am having the same problem not being able to download free apps. When I get to the step to select "none" for credit card, this selection is not there and won't let me go past without a cc. My daughter had here ipod first and she did not have put any cc info in and has no problems. How can I get past this?

    Are you sure you're starting the account creation by clicking on the "get" button for a free application? I signed out of my account in the iTunes store, went to the App store and chose a free app. In the resulting sign-in prompt I clicked on create account and filled in the information, using an email address I've never before used with iTunes. When I got to the "provide a payment" screen I was able to choose None. Note that this won't necessarily work if you don't start the process by going to a free app and clicking Get.
    If you're still having trouble, try making sure that your computer is running at least iTunes 8.0.2. Click your Help menu and choose About iTunes; the exact version you are running is in the very first line that scrolls up.

  • I can't download free apps without a credit card anymore with ios 6. Help?

    Hey guys maybe you can help me. After updating to ios 6 on my iPad 2 everything was fine. I was downloading free apps. Now if I try it says I need to enter credit card details which I have never needed to do in the past. Is there any way to get around this? Please help. Cheers.

    Well, you might share what you did to fix it since you came here looking for help and if some body sees your "issue" has been fixed and clicks on your discussion "I fixed it" will not help the next user.

  • How can I download free apps without a credit card?

    I want to download free apps from the apps store but it seems like the only option is with a credit card in which I am not ready to use as of now. I'm pretty disappointed...

    Roxanne-
    Have you already established an Apple ID, or are you balking because of the credit card issue?  It is my understanding that you can get the Apple ID by specifying NONE when they ask for the credit card information.  You should then be able to download free stuff.
    Later, if you try to buy something, you will then need to provide a method of payment.  One alternative may be to add a gift card to your account.  I've seen them for sale at Walmart.  That way you can buy things without any worry about someone stealing your credit card information.
    See <redeemLandingPage> for gift card terms and conditions.  It will open up in your iTunes program.
