How do I update without payment information?

How can I update software in a new MacBook Air without surrendering payment information?
Tim Cook's open letter recently assured us of respect of privacy and yet we remain unable to update a new MacBook except we surrender payment information - which information neither necessary nor required for the updates. This is blatantly wrong and often impractical as I need not be a client of VISA, MasterCard or Amex to use a fully updated MacBook.
How else can I update the MacBook (Pages, Numbers & KeyNote)?

Rather than providing a credit card, choose the None option.
This user, mountaingoatgirl, explains how to get a None option in your account details in the iTunes app on a Mac or PC. -

    Hi Xellana, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I'm looking for information and pricing on possibly upgrading the processor from the PowerPC to Intel.
    While anything is possible if you had enough money... NOPE, you can't change the CPUs to Intel, nor can you get any faster PPC upgrades for it. It'd be far cheaper to buy a new IntelMac than to replace everything inside the G5, and I mean just about everything, then figure out how to machine the case & such to mount Intel Logic Board, Graphic Card & such.
    Sorry.

  • How can i delete my payment information in apple id cause they charging me evrytime im updating

    how can i delete my payment information in apple id cause they charging me evrytime im updating

    If you mean the 'charge' when updating your card's details on your account then that is only temporary, your card issuer should remove it after a few days or so. It's applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    If you want to remove your card's details then if you are doing it on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or 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 also be a payment link.

    Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
    Without a rescue email address, you can't reset them yourself. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • Help! Can't update my Payment Information.

    I've recently had to cancel my old credit card. I've just been handed my new one. Same bank, same billing address. I've been trying to update my payment information for two days now, with no success. iTunes says one of two things: "Your credit card informatin does not match your bank's records. Please enter a US credit card and matching address." Of course the credit card is US as well as the bank. I
    've already called the bank twice to check that all the information is correct: billing address, credit card number and that the card is activated, etc. And they've said yes to all the aforementioned.
    The other legend I recieve is: "Enter a valid security code." So it's either one or the other, but I just can't get it to work. And the bummer is that I can't update nor download anything from iTunes nor the App Store until I get this corrected.
    Any takers? Please Help!
    Thanks ahead for your wisdom.

    "Enter a valid security code."
    Try the troubleshooting help here >  iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    And something else to try...
    Launch iTunes then from the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click:  Reset warnings and Reset cache then click OK.
    See if that helps.

  • How coa i change my payment information from visa account to non accout

    hi
    how can i change my payment information from visa account to non account

    Have you created the account? If yes, the following procedures cant be applied. You have to open a new account for this to work!
    In your PC:
    1.Open iTunes and navigate to App Store!
    2. Sign-out of Apple ID.
    3. Upon seeing a free app, you'll notice that a button named FREE is displayed beneath so when you click it, it downloads automatically.
    4. Click it, now a dialog box opens up asking you to provice your Apple login details, in that box you'll notice the option named CREATE AN ACCOUNT, click it and create a new ID.
    5. On the payment page, there will be an optin named NONE, select it and complete the registration.
    Its done.
