How do I bypass credit card details for free app?

This is the 3rd I've written this, I have no idea why this isn't posting.
The annoying pop up keeps appearing demanding me to update expired credit card details. I'm trying to download a FREE app that I urgently need to use. But the pop up appears every single darn time. I don't use a credit card anymore, I just want to download the app I need, I'm using an iPad 2 if that'll help. Please help!

You cannot download apps without a valid payment method on file with Apple. The link I provided gave you information about how to have an account without a credit card. This may also help:

Why am i asked to give credit card details for free apps

I just bought an ipad mini. Why is it asking me to give credit card details for free apps like Linkedin?

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

App store keeps asking for my credit card info for free apps!??

Every time I go to get a free app, I keep getting asked for my credit card info to be updated. If it's free, why is my credit card info needed!?? I don't want to get charged, so I cancel out of the credit card request, it's not worth trying to get unwanted charges taken off. I would write to Apple but for some strange reason they refuse to use email for help. So, guess I will just try here.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello All,
Even I do faced same issue on my iphone 5 recently, because I had updated my credit card details while purchasing 'whats app'. Later on if I try do down load free apps, it started asking me verify payment info..I got frustrated and tried to remove apple id and create the same id and reset networksettings, but issue not resolved.!!
Possible scenarios of it occures:
1. While creating your apple id you might have given credit card info an dlater that got modified/expired
2. Once you buy anything by using credit card that info will be updated to your apple id, so it asks every time
Resolution:
Just remove your credit card details from payment information
setting > icloud > account > payment information -- remove ur credit card info , done done
Then try to download free app, it will only asks for apple password, It will not ask for 'payment verification'
Thank you
Krish

HT5622 Why am I asked to Leave my credit card information for free apps?

Why am I asked to leave Or provide my credit card information to download a free app?

To expound just a little bit more on what Ralph is saying ...if you do not set up your Apple ID in a very specific way from the start, Yoy have to enter credit card details even if you are downloading free apps. Your account details are now incompletely with the credit card, even though you don't want to use a credit card.
This explains exactly how you have to set up an Apple ID if you do not want to use a credit card. If you did not set up the account this way, you are now forced to enter the credit card - if you want to use this ID.

How do I delete credit card information for the app store?

Right, so here's what happened. Got into this game that I recently downloaded through the app store, came to a road block were I could either wait days to get the in-game money I needed needed to move on or pay $1.99 and get it over with. I had a gift card with $3 still on it and thought "why the **** not?" Problem now is that I can't update any of my apps without this notification coming up and saying that I need to update my card. I've tried going through my account settings on my phone but I don't get that "none" opinion that everyone is talking about. How can I delete that card from my account? Do I need to call someone or just use up that $1 I have on it?

Hello ArcticWolfParadise,
I would try iTunes as well to see if you get the none option available there. I think what may be contributing to it is, even if the app is .99 cents with tax, that will put it over the 1 dollar left in your credit, there by needing a credit card to cover the tax.

Credit Card info for FREE apps

I just got a new iphone, I am trying to download facebook on it, and it shows in the apps folder that it's FREE, but when I click to INSTALL it keeps asking me to verify my credit card security ID. Why do I have to give credit card info to download and install a FREE app?

The credit card associated with your iTunes account perhaps changed or something. A valid credit card is needed for iTunes purchases regardless of their cost (or lack of).
Actaully a Itunes card added the account will do the same exact thing. Added a CC, then a itunes card then deleted the cc, can get any free app I want

How to change credit card details for payment

during creating apple id i have given credit card details for payment but now i have to change to different credit card where and how i will change

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment details link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payment details link on your account's page.

Can't update credit card details for recurring pay...

I'm trying to update my grandma's Skype credit card details to the new credit card details (same numbers just new expiry date) for her recurring payments on Skype. I follow all the prompts but the final step requires Mastercard to verify the card with an online bank account which she doesn't have and has no intention of getting which means there is no way to update her credit card details for the recurring payments. How do we solve this problem? Thanks

Hi JW2230
It looks like the payment details are being rejected. Please check this with your card issuer before trying to update them again. The phone number for Australia is 1800 614 863.
Thanks

Update Credit Card details for Photoshop Photography Program purchased via Digital River

I need to update my credit card detail for my Photoshop Photography Program subscription. I am not able to update via the website as I get an error. I contacted support but they told me to cancel my subscription and order a new one. I don't accept this as I subscribed to the Photoshop Photography Program which is no longer available. I should be able to continue the subscription by updating my credit card info but support claims that this cannot be done since the subscription is via Digital River. Digital River is no help their site and the staff direct me back to Adobe's site which give the error. I don't accept that I will have to lose my Photoshop Photography Program subscription because of Adobe's choice of a payment processing partner and their inability to update my credit card details - this amounts to a bait-and-switch in my opinion. How can I update the details? I've waited three days for another response from Adobe and the subscription will fail tomorrow...
