Everytime I go to download an Apple App I get asked to verify my credit card details even though the app is free.
Whenever I go to download an app from the apple site I am asked to verify my credit card details especially when the app is free.
I also cannot seem to change the region globe thing down the bottom right corner.
I have just read the "more like this" and got the anwser to my question.
(except the region thing)

Apple clearly is a leader and thankfully are bringing fantastic products and initiatives to the market.
I certainly hope that the company doesn't get arrogant like it seems to do when forcing people trying to get free apps to put in credit card details.
I suspect it wouldn't be too much work to allow users to try it out first by using some free apps and when they are personally ready they can purchase to their little hearts desire.
Poor showing from this perspecitive and easy to fix.Never put your credit card info into iTunes as Apple credit card security is horrible. There are many cases of credit card problems with Apple. My credit card was compromised 2 weeks after creating an Apple account. That was the ONLY online usage of my credit card.
Apple does NOT follow PCI compliance which is the credit card industry standards for credit card data protection. It requires all companies to NOT store credit card information online because (surprise, surprise Apple!) it can be hacked.
Why does Apple need to store the credit card data and put the information at risk and why do they not follow industry (PCI Compliance) guidelines - especially for free aps or updates? -
I just bought my I-pad 3 and none of the apps are getting downloaded and it's asking me for my credit card details due to which I can't even download any free apps .....what should I do ?
You just have to go in through the back door, so to speak. DOn't create an ID first, go to the app you want, try to download, click on the 'create an id' button and then, when you get to the payment page, you'll see an option for 'none'.

When I down load an app it is asking for a billing address even though the app is free after I enter the required details it does accept the post code
Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Start without using the backup after the restore process, to rule out a software problem.
If the phone is working after that, use the backup to restore from. In case the problem comes back, your backup contained corrupt data and you'll have to start again without the backup. -
Help - have an iTunes account on iPad for well over a year. Just bought iPhone 5 and I cannot purchase apps using my account. I am asked to verify my credit card and details but then it rejects them. They are still fine on the iPad. Any ideas?
I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have? -

Verify my payment even though the app is free ?
Why does apple keep asking to verify my payment even though the app is free and every time I'm verifying my payment info it keep saying declined even though all the information I have given them is correct?!? Please help me!!!
Hit the issue too and the following fixed it for me.
Settings->iTunes & App Store->apple ID->view apple ID->payment->re-enter all the credit card information especially the credit card number.
My guess is that after upgrading the stored credit card number gets messed up although it *looks* like it's still stored ok (e.g. still displaying the correct last 4 digits when the error happened and only asking for security code).
Hope this help! -

Is the only way to get a software update through the Apple Store where you have to give a credit card? I thought system updates are free. I don't want to leave a credit card number with Apple.
This may also help. Someone in another thread typed the above link only works if you haven't established your account, but when I just checked my account the "None" button was there?:

I tried to download a free app.It was keep telling that I had to verify my credit card.In the end they charged me 1,98eur! Do you know why?
Just for info..
This is the official answer from Apple.
"When you update your billing information (in this case when you filed your credit card), the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement.
Don't worry, this is not an actual charge, it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions."
Many thanks -
I am not prepared to give my credit card details for a free app. These days I don't trust anyone with my bank details if I am not making a purchase & the app is free.
Is it an account that hasn't been used in the store before, and if so how did you create it ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store (you should be able to remove credit card details after entering them).
If you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details or create a new account (and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it). -

A friend of mine and I own an iPhone 4S. He could access the App store and download apps without submiting his credit card's procedure. But for me, each time I go to the app store, they say, ' This Apple ID has not yet been linked with iTunes ' or such.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thank You!Add a valid payment method like redeeming an iTunes gift card. Apple requires that when an account is set up the normal way (with credit card)
Create a NEW account 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.
