FREE download requires a credit card #?????

why do I have to enter a credit card number for a download that is FREE????

you need to have an itunes music store account to download ANYTHING from the music store (this does not include podcasts)
you can create an itunes music store account in 1 of 2 ways
number one use a credit card
number two on the right hand side of itunes 7 in the music store click on the buy/redeem button
enter you music voucher code (music vouchers can be bought from a store which sells itunes vouchers)
enter your account information to register the account

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.

IPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick

iPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick.

And yet to download the app you clicked on a button that told you that the app would be 790 rupees for you.
The iLife apps and the iWork apps are only free when you qualify to get them free. And when you get them free the buy button to download them says free. When the buy button has a price on it, that is how much you will pay for the app.

I cant download free apps when my credit card limit is over?

I am trying to download free apps, but my credit card limit is over... i can´t download??
say that my credit card is invalid!!
why??
how i can remove this credit card and use free account??
thanks!

Is it an account that hasn't been used in the store yet then 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.
If you are being prompted to review the 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 (you should be able to remove them after entering them) or create a new account (and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it). If you do create a new account and you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

Not with your current Apple ID. You have to create a new Apple ID using these instructions from Apple, exactly as written;

Is there a solution for getting an itunes account, in Canada, for a Laptop that doesnt require a Credit Card?

Ok so I recently have purchased a bunch of Disney Blueray movies that are DVD+HD Digital. In order to use the HD Digital I must go to www.Digitalcopyplus.com and put in the redemption code and select the media I want to use to play the HD digital content. In Canada there is one option> itunes.
In order to use itunes I must have an AppleID. Sure np I created one. But! When I launch itunes and log in with the ID it asks me to associate it with itunes and verify. During the verification process it asks for,(Remember I am in Canada) Visa, MC or Amex. They are the only options. And there is NO option to not enter a credit card, guess I could make one up but that would be fraud.
So end result is that I cannot watch or download the HD Digital Content of any of my movies. Because itunes must be used to watch it and I must be registered with AppleID and associate it with itunes whereby during the association the verification step requires a Credit Card.

Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

App store requires a credit card?

I'm trying to setup an iphone5 for someone and they ONLY want to download FREE apps. It's running IOS 6.0.1. While going through the App Store setup on the device it is REQUIRING a credit card. I've read the article from Apple ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 ) that states no credit card is needed. However, the fact is the option of NONE does NOT exist on the Iphone's App Store setup, it only lists credit cards and won't let you go past it.
So how do you download apps if you do not have a credit card even if you only want free ones? In other words how do you get past not having a credit card?
Thanks... Gary

You will see the 'none' option if you try do download a free app FIRST, then create the apple id.

If you've already created the account, you will either have to add credit card info for identity verification purposes and then you can remove it later. OR you use an itunes store gift card.

How can i buy free apps without a credit card

Hi does anybody know how i can set up an app store account for the purpose of downloading only free apps
without providing credit card details?
cheers.

Yes I did, I have two apple ID's, one which I created only yesterday this is the one which I do not want my credit card details on.
So I signed out of my existing account (tried this in itunes store and app store, on my mac and ipod touch) then signed in with new ID, can't get past the credit card request. I don't get the none option, on the touch i don,t get the pop up scrolling window with all the options.
I want this seperate account so my son has the freedom to download free games etc on his ipod touch without access to my creditcard.

HT2105 When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it

When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it bad?

iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.
When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card.

Hi, I have recently received an email.
It told me that my Creative Cloud membership has been transitioned from paid to free because of the credit card billing problem.
