Do i have to give credit card to open an acct.

I have a gift card for fifteen dollars.When it runs out will my credit card start being deducted as i buy music?

In the UK, you can buy prepaid cards in the retail Apple Stores. That's the only other place that I know of right now where they're available. Apple's working on getting prepaid cards elsewhere in the world, but it's an issue of finding a company in each country that can handle the back-end part of the registration of the cards, I've been told.
Could I purchase this from the UK or the US and use this in another country to purchase tracks off the ITMS in the UK ?
Sorry but no. A prepaid card or gift certificate is only valid in the country of purchase.

The last 3 or 4 times I have tried to access my account, it has told me it has been deactivated and I have to reset each time, or give credit card info again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

HT2589 Why is it necessary to give credit card information?

Why should I give credit card information? On top of it I don't have any credit card information.

You don't have to, there are instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 (as far as I know the instructions are valid for all countries)

I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account]. Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match. I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??

You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

From that HT3702 page :
If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

My kids have their own AppleIDs but have entered my credit card info to make purchases from their own devices. How do I remove my credit card information to prevent them charging to my card?

Hi Sconnor_USA,
You may be able to select None as a payment method, rather than having a credit card on their accounts with this article:
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you cannot select none, this article should provide more information on why:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT2736 why am I getting a message suddenly that I am exceeding the gift card limit on my iTunes id for buying gift cards? I have never had a problem before and have a good credit card on file.

why am I getting a message suddenly that I am exceeding the gift card limit on my iTunes id for buying gift cards? I have never had a problem before and have a good credit card on file. I bought a $50 card for my son and then went to buy another one and it was refused and has continued to be for a week telling me a I am exceeding the gift card limit for my account? Insights here?

Interesting.
Didn't know Apple accepted PayPal as a payment option in some Stores. Cause they sure don't over here.

I have registered a credit card for purchasing apps from the app store. My bank has issued a new chip based card and now the 16 digit numbers have changed. How do I register the new card for flowless purchases?

Go to Apple Menu > App Store > View my account > sign in and then edit the payment details with the new card details.
I am assuming that your card and supporting bank are in the same country as your residential (billing) address and that you are using the App Store of that country.

I only have 5c in my US account and want to change back to Australia, but my account needs to be 0. Anyway around this? I have no US credit card.

Ah. I understand now. I suspect it is the technical problem that the money keeps the account alive.
Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - and click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store. Explain to them and see if they will help you raise a new account.
Remember, your account and means of payment must relate to the country you permanently reside in.

You might be able to buy the gift cards from Best Buy. They sell iTunes cards and will accept international credit cards. See:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
They say that you can't order iTunes "codes", but I don't know if that applies to the physical cards. But you can try it.
Regards.

You will only be able to use one account at a time with the Apple TV. This will mean that you can only rent or purchase content from one account, you would need to log out and into the other account in order to rent or purchase from that.
You should however, be able to use content from both accounts in iTunes on your computer, provided that the content from the account that you are not logged into is authorised to be played on that computer. Consequently you should be able to AirPlay content from both accounts to the Apple TV from iTunes or play content from both accounts via the computer section on the Apple TV.
