Free apps
my iphone 3g wont let me download free apps keeps saying theres a problem with a previous purchase n update ur payment method can anyone help please
Update the credit card tied to your account. This usually indicates you made a purchase from the iTunes store, which was authorized against your card, but by the time the charge processed, there were insufficient funds. You owe them money. You can't get anything else, including free apps, until you settle up.

My ipod wont let me download free apps.
Every time i try to download a free app, a sign pops up saying "SIGN IN REQUIRED: Tap continue and sign in to view billing information." and when i press continue, it wants me to put in my credit card info.
If you want
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.

My iphone wont let me download free apps!!!
okay so i used a visa gift card i had gotten as a payment method to use to download music on itunes and then finally it ran out of money. then later when i tried to download an app it said "sign in required" so i signed in then it said my payment method isnt working but i have no other meathod and i cant cancel the one i have so i tried again and it keeps saying the same thing.. it wont let me download anything.. what do i do?
You probably have a past due balance in the iTunes store. If so, you'll have to enter a new payment type, or use an iTunes gift card to resolve the outstanding balance before you can proceed to download free apps, or install app updates.

my iphone wont let me download apps and is telling me to put in credit card stuff for free apps help me
You can create a new Apple ID without using a credit card for download free apps by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534. Follow it exactly as writtien. Note that you have to download and try to install a free app and then create the ID.

In my iPhone 5s in App Store showing paid apps in the column of free apps ..... Is this software issue ?
Apps are permanently tied to the account used to download them. It was behaving exactly as it should have.

Problems with iTunes/ipad2 I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?
Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps). -
Serious fixes needed by RIM for PB/My Review/I'll review your free app
Hey there guys
So it was just yesterday that I received my dev PlayBook. So far, it's going pretty well. I do like BlackBerry's new platform and it looks like it has some great potential.
Now, I know it's just a new platform, but wow some of these things are already slightly painful. They almost make me want to sell this to go get a Honeycomb tablet! Luckily I will try hold out.
Bad things:
- I just received a new update today with Video chat. Already, the update has actually seemed to do good and bad things to the device. Some parts of the device seem more choppy.
- My browser is just driving me mad. I've done reset after reset and close after close, but pages keep often half-loading, getting stuck 3/4 loading, clicking 'login' on these forums on the device and it stalls on that webpage, and sometimes the app crashes (seems to have only been noticable after the most recent update).
- Apps: really can't wait for that Android player, there really isn't that much to do on here just yet
- Feedback button or similar? Unless I've missed it, RIM has released these products to REAL consumers (not just developers like us who generally tend to not worry about bugs as much), and if they release a brand new platform that is bound to have quite a few bugs (and let me tell you, it does), they really should have a feedback or error report button. Especially with this browser thing
- Those email and calendar apps! I really hope they are coming within the next 60 days It's kind of strange that they managed to add video chat and an official Facebook app before a native email app.
- File browser: I've got a lot of downloads here that I can't really delete, like PDF's. I don't know whether there's some big button that I'm missing but it's a little annoying Please bring a file manager or something (if it's not developable by developers, haven't looked into that personally)
- Autocorrect: the keyboard looks and seems quite nice at first. Until you realise it doesn't have an autocorrect like the iPad does. It's fairly hard to be completely accurate on a tablet keyboard in the first place, let alone a 7" one, so please pretty please do away with the red underline and bring in some live-correction-action
- That power button. I think mine is raised but it's still a pain in the *@&@#(@#*&#$&@.
Good things:
- Apart from the Browser being an absolute sh*t and half-loading and quitting on me all the time, it's quite decent. Nice rendering, Flash is brilliant and it's quite a good experience. But I seriously hate it right now because it just doesn't work.
- Hardware (except for that power button). The specs are brilliant, design is nice, build quality is great, speakers are good, brightness is good, battery life currently seems fairly decent, and it only got good comments when I showed colleagues.
- The case. Sorry, but this is very cool. Why can't all brands do this? That little sleeve is awesome
- QNX, apart from some of it's bugs and it's somewhat lonely App World, is working quite nicely. Multitasking is very fluid and it is a size of relief.
- Size (good and bad). I love the size as I can really take it anywhere, and hopefully use it as a personal calendar/notetaker/slate kind of thing (when CALENDAR functionality comes ), but mind you some things, like the browser experience and keyboard, would be nicer on a bigger screen.
- Most included apps: the included apps are well done and quite nice. Word to Go would do great with Dropbox integration (please? ) and a file manager would be awesome.
At the moment, there seems to be more negatives about the PB than positives. I couldn't imagine myself buying this until it had matured with stability, apps and Android players etc. But other than that, I like where it's going, just please RIM, change a few things as soon as you can, it's been hard enough avoiding iPad and other tablets since 2010
DEVELOPER PART: Also, if you have a free app and you'd like me to review it or give you some feedback, feel free to let me know and I'll give it a go.
PS: let me know if you experience anything of the same calibre, especially interested in the browser bit. It's the most used app that I use on any device and it's absolutely driving me insane with it's instability on my PlayBook.
PSv2: Apologies for the smilies-overload, lol.Is there a question in here about Adobe AIR development for the PB? There are other forums that this kind of post is more appropriate. If you have specific issues, please report them to RIM via their issues database so they can be reproduced and resolved. The PB general forum is a good source to look for solutions and provide recommendations.

Cannot update free apps on my iphone and ipad - Asking for payment details
I am not able to update my free apps on iphone and ipad, apps like instagram, the weather channel and Farmville2 arent updating. I've been asked credit card info and charged 1$. Why? Can someone please help me out. I have tried logging off and logging in again however, its of no use. Apple hasnt even posted a message in regards to this.
Also I have funds in my account, so that shouldn't be a problem. I was trying to download a free app. It was working this morning. Frustrated doesn't cover it.

This morning I tried to update my apps through the app store. Many of them updated, but some (Soundcloud, Evernote, Viber, and IMDB) gave me the error message "Update unavailable with this Apple ID"
I removed those apps and tried to re-install them, only to receive the same message. I then logged out of the App Store and logged back in but this did not make a difference.
These apps are not showing up on my "purchased" list.
I have only ever had one Apple ID, and have been using and updating these free apps for some time now.
Any idea how I can resolve this? Searching the forums has not helped at all.Same problem here. IMDB, TWC (weather app) Goodreader… Started this morning, out of the blue.
After deleting IMDB (hoping to reinstall), that app cannot be installed again! Trying to, gets you the same “Update unavailable” error.
Also, the problematic apps are not listed in my “Purchased” list (which is the real problem I think).
I also tried through iTunes. Same problem.
Can someone confirm that the problem apps are not showing in your purchased list?
I don’t know if it’s on Apple’s side (in which case it will get fixed) or on my side (meaning I will have to do something).
(I contacted Apple, waiting for reply.) -
My itunes want let me download free apps its talking about my billing information!
My itunes want let me download free apps its talking about my billing information why?
Hello Deangelo,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you do not want to add a credit card to your Apple ID.
I suggest updating your billing information to "None" using the steps in the section titled "Change your payment information on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in the following article:
iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you are not seeing the "None" option when updating your billing information, I recommend the following article:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!
apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!
Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -

Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

As the title says, I have been using a Visa debit card since 2010 for my iTunes account. It has been used to purchase apps and free apps but now I can't download either. It says that my payment is declined. I have money on my card and my bank account shows that my apps and music purchases have been paid for. I can't even get free apps.
