do i need a credit card if i have a prepaid itunes card

hi, if you are creating an account no you don't need it. Just click when it asked you  for credit  card click none. Than scroll down and put your gift card number. if you have an account already go on the app store and and go all the way down and click redeem and put your gift card number in.

  • HT201303 If item is free why do you need a **** credit card!! Tired of items saying free if you are charging me refund my **** funs I will post on all networks

    I tried to download a free game and music app that are free then it pop up you need a **** credit card what the **** for.. Tired of being nickel and dimmed by company so how about fixing this ****!!! Very upset

    If the game is shown as "free" in the App Store, it is completely free to download, but many apps have "in-app purchases" intended to separate you from your money.
    The solution is simple - don't use those apps. Uninstall them and write a review in the App Store explaining their underhandedness.
    To disable "in-app purchases" go to Settings > General > Restrictions and turn "In-App Purchases" off. Don't forget your Restrictions passcode.

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • Why Do I Need a Credit Card to Show Artwork from CD's That I Own Legally?

    In Windows Media Player the album artwork shows up right away, but with itunes they tell me I need and account, and that account needs a credit card, why? I do not plan to buy anything from apple as I merely want to use what I own legally, I want the artwork from my CD'S to show up on itunes and on my ipod and do not think that my credit card needs to be part of that simple request. Please advise?

    Artwork is only available for albums that are for sale in the iTunes Store. If Exile on Main Street is not something that iTunes sell, you'll have to find your artwork elsewhere. As Roger said, Amazon is usually a good place to start looking. Also, a Google Image search may find what you're looking for.
    I believe that the Command - I equivalent on a Windows machine is Control-I. However, if you right click on the song, Get Info should also be one of the options. It's also an option from the File Menu, I believe. Poke around, use the Help function (which has a list of keyboard shortcuts, by the way), you'll find it.
    Only Apple would know why they need or what certain information. Generally, it's pretty easy to dummy a phone number if the field is required and you don't wish to give out that information. I find all 7s works fairly well.

    how to use itunes gift card to buy apps on ipad 2? Do I need a credit card for it?

    I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to help you with this situation. I don't know why, but many people have problems when they try to buy gems in the Clash of Clans game. Personally, I wouldn't touch the game with a ten foot pole, but that's just my opinion.
    You will have to contact iTunes Store Support and ask for their help. You can email them from here.

  • Why do I need a credit card for family sharing?

    i would like like to setup family sharing. I have an iPhone my 7year old has just got an iPad, I would like keep tabs on what he try's to download etc but in
    the process it says I need a credit card on file. I already have a debit card registered And don't have a credit card.  Why is this a problem?

    Hello Laujhull,
    The reason you need a credit card is that to comply with child online privacy protection laws, the CVV or security code provides parental consent for the purchases that will be made. You will need to do that before continue and you can even switch back to your debit card after you finish the setup. The article below will explain further.

  • Why do I need a credit card just to update album art?

    Are there any other options? Or are the financially challenged doomed to wallow in album artless dejection? Again, I would point out that I never had any problems with WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER. (see organizing by artist/album discussion threads)

    This is not the only way to obtain artwork.
    Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images. 

Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image". 

When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.
    
Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste. 

    If you don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.
    Just to be clear, you'll need a credit card to "create" an iTunes store account assuming you don't have one already.

  • 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 I need a credit card to download album art?

    I buy my albums from real shops and just import them into iTunes which is all well and good, but I need an iTunes account to get album art, and I need a credit card to make an iTunes account (so it seems). Why can't I just get the album art like you can in windows media player?

    because that is itunes! lol
    you can make your account - nothing will be charged unless you buy. the cover art is free!
    just set up an account it shouldnt be that a problem!
    if really do not want to - you can buy software that will search your artwork - even if you just have the song title.
    the best one is coverscout:

  • Why do I need a credit card to download a free app?

    Why do I suddenly need a credit card to download a free app? Is this something new or are we somehow getting hacked?

    This is nothing new. A valid form of payment is required unless you originally set up your Apple ID to not require a credit card. Check your Apple ID account. Maybe the expiration date ID past.

  • 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

    I appreciate the replies about needing to setup a credit card for agreeing to pay for purchases and letting someone else be the Family Organizer.  The purpose of my question is to know if there is a way around apples requirement to have a valid payment method on file...we have money in our apple account (use iTunes gift cards) and I do not want to store my CC info at apple.  It seems like very odd that money in your account would not be enough to setup Family Sharing.
    Very frustrating and just about ready to get rid of all the 15 apple products we currently have.
    Khuerter,
    Having a credit card when you set up as Family Organizer is a legal requirement to prove that you are taking financial responsibility for the others on the account.  As Gail noted, there is not a way around that.
    Once the account is set up, the Family Organizer can remove the credit card and replace it by a debit card.
