HT1689 Free downloads from App Store

Why am I required to enter credit card info in order to allow a Free App to be downloaded from the Itunes App Store? Is there a way to avoid this if they are free?
Thanks

I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store

I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store. OS was OS X Mountain Lion 10.9 When I received it. Is it because of OS? I upgraded to OS X Mavericks right after I got it.

Today, I went to the mac store and asked the staff about above issue. Apple obviously sent me a mac air which was manufactured before October 2013 and therefore, iworks and OX Mavericks weren't installed. I have refund for around £45 to purchase iworks. However, I wasn't happy with what Apple actually did. I asked for replacement and refund the one I got and getting the new one from store so I can use mac straight away. however, the refund takes 5-7 working days. The staff on the phone told me if I have enough money I can just buy the new one in the store and get refund later. So I gave up! I was so disappointed with Apple. Even though I use the mac now, this was not the one Apple promised when I purchased online. if anyone would like to buy a mac, Please go to the actual store. DO NOT buy a mac through MAC ONLINE STORE!!! I strongly recommend! I feel like I wasted my time because the company doesn't keep its promise.

IPAD 2 - unable to download from app store

HI All,
i am unable to download any free application from app store , error:- could not sign in unknown error, i have tried shutting down the i pad , upgrading to os 6, resetting the password but still the same error, please guide me how can i resolve this

Make sure that you do not have a download in iTunes that did not complete - a song, a podcast - that can stall the apps from downloading and you will get the "waiting" message. Look in iTunes and if that's the case - finish those downloads first.
I copied this from OSX Daily's site a couple of days ago.
If you’re trying to install a handful of iOS apps and your entire home screen is filled with app icons labeled “Waiting…” without any of the progress bars moving, downloading, or installing, you can fix this fairly easily with the two methods below. Try the first method before going nuclear with a reboot though:
Tap a single app icon so that it says “Paused” and then tap that app icon again to see if it resumes downloading
If pausing and resuming didn’t work: Reboot the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
You may notice a related issue where apps from the App Store will say they’re “Installing” though they aren’t appearing on the iOS home screen yet, that is also resolved with a reboot.
It’s not totally clear what causes this, though it seems that a lot of people are encountering the problem right now when moving from an old iPad to a new one. It could be that Apple’s servers are just overloaded with downloads from the App Store, or it could be a bug.
You can also try signing out of your account, restart the iPad sign in and then try again. Sometimes that helps.

1. If you downloaded it for free the first time it should then be free for you forever to re-download and update.
2. If the app is no longer on the store then you cannot re-download it, I suggest you save an extra copy of the one you already have. I know I backed up my precious phonesabre.
3. Updating/installing directly on the iPhone has always gone fine for me. I didn't know there were issues.

I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine

I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine - files too big
Please assist

You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
downloading and using DiskMaker X

My iPhone 4s cannot download from app store

For a couple days now my iPhone 4s cannot download anything from the app store. I cannot download new apps or updates. It does not give me an error message or anything. It just shows the icon on my iPhone screen and it says waiting right underneath it; I've let it go on for a day and it never resolved anything. It was working fine before and now it doesn't. I have not changed any settings and I know my account is fine because my wife's iPhone is also setup to use my iCloud account and it works without problems. I donnot want to reset my iPhone as it is currently set up just the way I need it; both peronal and work stuff. It would be a pain in the rear if I had to reset everything. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Update to my post.
I called customer Apple support and now my phone works without a problem.
Here's what I had to do:
Try resetting network connections. If that does not work go to next step below.
Connect your iPhone to your computer
Open iTunes (probably opens automatically)Back up your iPhone to your computer
Restore iPhone to factory settings (this is what I did. you can skip this step if you're feeling lucky and go straight to the next step). Try to download from app store, if it works, your set; go to next step.Try right clicking on your iPhone an the left menu (iTunes) if you don't see the right options on your screen
Restore iPhone from previous file (iTunes)
My iPhone did not restore my downloaded apps, no worries, just go to bought apps on the app store/iTunes and download apps into iTunes. After that, just sync your iPhone to iTunes and your apps should be there.
I hope that helps, that's what I had to do. I was able to reset my iPhone and all my settings to the way it was before restoring. I did not loose anything but it took about 2 hours.

Thats the ugliest code I've seen in a while and may be hampering your abilities to debug it. No offense - you have to start somewhere - think of it as somewhat constructive criticism.
However, I cannot find any place where this is happening. Its happening on line 193.
Also, this only happens when you try to move certain pieces to certain squaresThat might be a clue. Try printing out the indexes before line 193 and see what happens. Maybe use a debugger to step through your code.

Solution for iPad slow download from app store

First, I have to clarify this is just my solution for the problem I encoutered. It may not work for you, but I think it's nice to post here for whoever needs it some day.
I live in Sydney, using TPG as my home network provider. In order to use iMessage on my iPad, I followed the solution on this community to change to DNS to 8.8.8.8. And it works, which I thinks it's really odd and Apple never gives any explaination.
But after I changed the DNS, downloading from the app store became really slow. My iPhone 4S can download the same app with the same network about 4 times faster than my iPad does. Initially, I thought this problem is caused by jail breaking. So I jailbroken my iPhone 4S as well (haha, this is what I learned from Apple-Think different), but the problem still. Turns out this problem is caused by the 8.8.8.8 DNS. so I changed the DNS back to my router domain, in my case 10.1.1.1 (for some people it may be 168.1.1.1), it become fast again. So you may try this way when you have the same slow download problem after change your dns to 8.8.8.8.
I don't know why this works. I don't know why iPad needs to change the dns to use iMessage in Australia. And I don't know why download from app store become slow after the change. If you know the reason, please be kindly to tell me, I'd love to hear about it. Now I have to change my DNS back and forth to download apps quickly and use iMessage, if you have better solution for this issue, please be kindly to let me know as well. Good day mate.

HT4569 In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

How do I speed this up. I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right.
The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."
