HT201272 Why am I asked for bank details when downloading free apps?

When trying to install and download free apps from the app store why am I asked to enter my bank details and confirm my purchase???

For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app, big problem with kids

I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app or music in iTunes, big problem with kids. How do I enable

To elaborate further, in those restrictions you can specify exactly what types of actions you would like to restrict.
I think you'll find this accomplishes your objective.

Can i stopping it asking for my password when downloading from app store?

Hi all
wondering if anybody could help me please
i brought a iphone 4s at the weekend and every time i download a app from the app store i have to put my password in, if i download an app then click on another to download i have to put it in again, as my password has to be more than 8 letters long its getting a bit annoying having to keep putting it in every app i download and was wondering if there is a way to set it up so that i dont have to put the password in for every download i make please ?
thanks in advance

Unless you changed it in Settings>General>Restrictions, you have 15 minutes after entering your password during which, if you buy other things, you will not be required to enter it again. Outside of 15 minutes, you will always be required to enter it. That is a security feature that is not user changeable.

BT asking for bank details over the phone

On Friday evening I received a call from someone saying they were from Bt.
The caller said my bill hadnt been paid and if I didnt pay it now my service would be suspended, (I was moved from quarterly billing to monthly and my direct debit had been cancelled an was now whole bill payment monthly).
When I asked where the caller was from he said the Philipines, alarm bells started ringing. I asked to speak to someone in the UK and was told I could not be transferred, I then asked for someone in the Uk to call me, again I was told it wasnt possible as they had no contact with the UK.
A call from someone asking for bank details immediately makes me suspicious, (theres lots of scams out there).
Why is it not possible to speak to someone in th UK?

In iTunes, click "Store", sign in with your Apple I.D. After singing in, click "Store" again, select "View my Account", re-enter your password and your account info will be displayed.
Click "Edit" in front of "payment information" and select "None"

That means you input your billing information. And the security code is the three digit code ont he back of your credit card.

Why is it asking for my billing info but the app is free how do I turn this off?

Why is it asking for my billing info but the app is free how do I turn this off?

possibly to verify age or perhaps the app has "add on" features that cost and they would need to know where to bill these to if you wanted them
I know you can store your billing details, even a credit card number, securely within your iTunes account to prevent you from getting this prompt for future apps

Why does iOS repeatedly ask for my password when submitting an App Store review?

I tap Write a Review, it asks for my password.
I write my review and submit, it asks for my password. And again. And again. And again.
Once before, and four times in a row to submit it. Why?
My passwords are generated for me, and I change them regularly, so sometimes I get them wrong while typing them in. If I've taken the time to go write a review and then I get my password wrong one of the four times I'm asked for it, I just get an error saying my password was incorrect and the whole review I've written ust disappears and I'm back on the app overview; I have to go write it all over again and then go through the gauntlet of repeated password entry once again...
This has been happening on iOS 6, and still on iOS 7. (This is the App Store app in iOS on an iPhone, just to be clear; not the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store on OS X. I haven't tried either of those, so I may or may not have the same problem there.)

Entered incorrectly?
Can go to Appleid.Apple.com and select Manage Apple ID - try to sign in, if you are unable to then what is being entered is incorrect.
Reset Password is the next option.
If you are able to sign in then first on your Computer in iTunes go to Store and Select Sign Out - Then Sign back in.
iOS device - Settings - iTunes & App Store - View Apple ID - Sign out / Sign in
That should work for you - however when downloading/purchasing Apps you will most always be prompted to sign in.
And to the comment
[Yesterday I had problems on my desktop but the laptop worked fine.]
Something was being entered incorrectly, passwords do not effect OS's.
Hope the information with Appleid.apple.com helps you out.
If still having trouble no worries contact AppleCare Account Security via Expresslane.apple.com
Just be ready to answer your security questions correctly.

You must have an Apple ID and an iTunes/App Store account that will request credit card information. In order to download free apps: Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card. Please read it very carefully.

HT5858 Why does my iPad and iPhone ask for verification when downloading free apps

What does my iPad ask for verification when trying to download free app from App Store

You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

ITunes is asking for credit card details to download free apps

I've never had an apple product before so im new to this, but i now have an iPhone 3GS on IOS 4.1. I can't update the iPhone as i have it unlocked and it will remove the patch. I know that to download apps you need to put in card details, but i dont own a credit card. Apparently, it's supposed to give me an option not to select any card, which would allow me to download free apps but that option isnt there. I can't download any apps, not even free ones.

There are instructions on this page on how to create a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it

Prompting for previous owners account when downloading free App updates

Hi, this is my first time here so apologies if I don't follow correct protocol! My brother in law gave me an iPhone 3G 2 weeks ago after using it himself for a couple of weeks only.
I have a new iTunes account and have synched calendars and contacts ok. I have removed all of his content from iPod on the phone and now have only the tunes I have purchased from iTunes on my phone. I have purchased and downloaded apps, and downloaded free apps ok. My homepage tells me I have 3 free updates to download, but when I try to do so it prompts me for my b-i-laws iTunes password. have tried to do this when logged into my iTunes account and when not and still can't get past this issue. Only happens with free updates. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

I worked out the solution to the problem - remove the free apps my b-in-l had downloaded that there were updates for; reinstall them under my account.

Been asked to re validate my account , even asking for bank details?

Why would I ned to post my bank details so that my account is re validated? Surely credit card details are more t Han enough.

It's a fake. Apple will never ask you to do that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933
Assuming you haven't fallen for the fake, just delete the email.
BTW, this forum is for questions from people managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.
Regards.
