Cant download from the apple store..

Hello helping readers,
I bought just my iPod touch and wanted to download some apps. I connected my iPod and it asked me to register, I did but didnt put it to my apple account (I think there is the problem). Now I wanted to download some FREE apps but it says I need to log in, so i did with my (never buying something) account.
It said it wasnt an iStore account and it had to, so i was reffered to the registration page were i only had to add some bank info. I DONT HAVE VISA ETC.. So, now I cant download FREE apps.. =( :'(
Someone help me plz (no we have no wifi here YET).
- Guido. =(

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. Note as well that this only applies to the App Store; to the best of my knowledge, you will not be able to get any of the free content in the iTunes Store without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.) This also seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type. If there is no "none", then you won't be able to open an account without a credit card or iTunes prepaid card.
Good luck.

I have a second generation I Pod touch. How do I know which games I can download from the Apple Store?

I have a second generation I Pod touch. How do I know which games I can download from the Apple Store?

Hello, Suzanne.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Unfortunately there isn't a list available at this time for applications that are specific for your iOS/Software version. However, once you know which iOS/Software version you have installed, you can browser various applications and look for ones that meet your system requirements. I have included a screenshot below on how to look for this information.

Every time I try to download from the apple store, I am told to verify my apple ID. I keep changing my password and still cannot get my download

How do I verify my apple ID so that I can download from the store.

You keep changing your Password? Have you done this from Settings > Store, tap your Apple ID, then sign out and sing in using the right ID and Password.

I am unable to login to my Apple ID for facetime even though I was able to make a download from the apple store using the same ID?

I am unable to log in to my Apple ID for using facetime. However, I used the same ID and password for downloading an app from the app store.

Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Could I get the cost for OX Mavericks as I am unable to download from the Apple Store

I'm having difficulty upgrading to OX Mavericks primarily because I do not have an American Credit Card. I would like to know the cost of the upgrade so that I could by Apps Credit. Thanks

I don't have an American Credit Card. It doesn't matter. As long as it's valid.

WHAT I AM HEARING, LION OS CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED FROM THE APPLE STORE, HOW DO YOU OBTAIN A BOOT DISK?

I understand Lion OS is downloaded from the Apple store and a hard copy is not available. Then how do you create a boot disk?

There have been several news items over the last couple of days highlighting the fact that you can create a boot disk from the downloaded files. Here's a link:
http://eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
Keep in mind, we should wait until Lion is released for more information.

Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

When I have a software update notification and I go to the 'Updates" tab of the App Store and click 'update', the flash screen 'Sign in to download from the App Store comes up the the Apple ID is wrong and grayed out so I can't change it. Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?
I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on an IMAC 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again. You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.
