HT201272 Why do I need money in my account to download an app I have already bought?!

I paid for an app on my iPhone I want it on my iPad I try to iCloud download it but it asks for my billing information why?! I need it!  Why should I have to have money in my account to download someone I have already bought!

Is there enough money to cover the tax as well as the cost of the app?

    WWhy do I need money in my account to update stuff

    If you set up an itunes account with credit car ddetails then this is the way it works.  If you elect to download a free app there will be no charge because it is free if you do not like th then set up a new account with out credit card

  • HT1918 Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?

    Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?  If I cannot purchase goods with the prepuchased gift cards, then the card is useless and I want my money back.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Just because you are being asked to enter your credit card details doesn't mean that it will be charged for your purchases.
    Is it a newly created account ? If it is then unless you use the instructions on this page when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    If you are being prompted for the password for his ID when updating apps this indicates that you must have at leas one app on your phone that was purchased with his ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.)  The only way to stop this would be to delete these app(s) from your phone and repurchase them with your ID.

  • TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

    I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?

    No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

  • HT2729 Why can't I sync my flim That I have already bought from my iPhone to my iPad

    Why can't I sync my flim that I have already bought for my I phone4 to my new iPad 2

    I'm having the same issue and the books I'm wanting to sync are checked. It worked on previous audiobooks that I had. In fact, I just finished the two that I had loaded and want to load two more. I only keep two books (4 files) on the device to conserve space. I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3. there is 3GB free on the iPhone and I don't get any errors when syncing. My music is syncing fine and the books that unchecked were removed from my phone.
    I just tried to resync with one of the books that had previously been on my phone. It will not reload on there either. Here's a screen shot of iTunes and below that is the screen shot from my phone after syncing. Thanks for any help.

  • HT201272 I purchased a film a while back and have the invoice to prove it and its shown on my purchased list however I went to put it on my phone and its not showing the iCloud icon to download it even though I already bought it.any ideas?

    If you downloaded it on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Books part of your library, if you downloaded it on an iOS device then it should be in the Music app on it. If it's not there, and you don't have a copy of it on your backup of your library, then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download (audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, which I believe is a requirement from audible.com who supply them) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I need to deauthorise a computer that has broken down and have already recently used my deauthorise all, what can I do?

    I need to deauthorise a computer that has broken down and have already recently used my deauthorise all, what can I do?

    Go to the Store menu in iTunes, and select "View My Account..."  When you get to the account page, click on "Deauthorize All."  This will clear the list of computers authorized to play your songs.  Then you can go and reauthorize them one at a time.

  • Why do I need a credit card to get a free app

    I downloaded a free app without needing credit card. Went to download another and it said I needed to put in credit card info. Why?

    If the app also has in-app purchases included, then you need a credit card on file in case you purchase something from within the app.

  • Why do they need credit card security code to download load a free app

    I have the iBook app and have been notified of an update, when I selected install I was asked fro my credit card security number, which after the recent press were hundreds of apple members personnel details had been stolen this is a bit naughty until they prove they are trust worthy, I feel that as they already have the information from when I purchased the iPad and many other apps a free upgrade does not need such high security. Unless I'm wrong, please tell me why?

    I've missed the press reports about stolen details but I have heard of fraudulent purchases being made on accounts where the Apple ID & Password have become compromised. Not so long ago I found myself having to a one-time revalidation of my credit card and also tighten up my password. You might also be prompted for details if your credit card on file expires. I'm sure you would prefer that you and you alone got access to your account so I would suggest you perform the account validation and then remove your credit card from file - i.e. switch your payment method to none. You should be able to obtain free updates thereafter, at least until the next major tweak to security demands we all revalidate ourselves.
    (Actually, I think you might be asked for some additional info. each time you use a new device to try to access your account which again would be a positive anti-fraud strategy)
