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.

    do you need a credit card to buy the sketchbook pro or can you use itunes cards?

    Hi..
    It might depend on the tax rate for your location.
    If you are in the U.S. >  http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/check-taxes-in-your-state.aspx
    If taxes or fees are applied to the $59.99, I doubt that $60.12 will cover it. You may need to purchase another iTunes gift card which you can redeem to increase the funds available.
    it is 59.99 dollers and i have 60.12 and it goes to the billing part
    If there are not funds available you will see a dialog asking you to edit your payment information. When there are not sufficient funds, the difference between the purchase amount and funds available is deducted from a credit or debit card account. If you don't want to have a credit or debit card then purchase another iTunes gift card.

  • Why do you need a credit card # if the app is free

    I do not have a valid credit card that I can remember a password for.

    If this is the Firefox home app, it may be a requirement of the iPhone site to enter credit card details. This is not a requirement from Mozilla.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    Hello Azim5s,
    Indeed, this can be done by setting your account up and choosing 'None' when prompted for billing information.

  • 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.

    If not this:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    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 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Giftcard bought in another country/do you need a credit Card?

    Hi,
    I recieved two £15 iTunes gift cards from relavtives in the UK. My account is an Irish one. I try to make a new account but must I give more credit card details to make this new account. alternatively I tried to change my current account in a "United Kingdom" account but then I get promted to re-enter credit card details. I don't have a credit card because I'm only 16. so my two questions are:
    * Must you have a credit card to create an i-tunes account???
    * Is there any way to make the gift card work on my Irish account when it was bought in the UK???
    Thanks in advance,
    Harry HT

    +Is there any way to make the gift card work on my Irish account when it was bought in the UK???+
    Unfortunately, no. You might as well give them back to your UK relatives.
    From the gift card FAQ:
    +Gift certificates and gift cards purchased on the iTunes Store are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased.+

  • Do you need a credit card to buy OS X Mountian Lion

    i have 20$ on my itunes account and i keep trying to download mountion lion but but i get the same mesege insunificint funds so what do i do. PLEASE HELP!

    No, you do NOT need a credit card to buy Mountain Lion. It is telling you that you have insufficient funds, because Apple still charges tax in their online store. You need to have one or two extra dollars in credit on your account(depending on your local tax) in order to buy ML.

  • Why do I need a credit card number on file to download free apps?

    I've had this itunes account for several years. The last CC that I had on file for making purchases has been lost (and reported as such). So, obviously my payment information regarding that card is no longer valid and I can no longer make purchases. Understandable.
    I am, however, still waiting for a new card to be sent to me before I can go in an update the information.
    What is boggling me is that when I attempt to download updates or other free applications, itunes (on my phone) keeps asking me to sign in and provide payment information (which I do not have). It will not let me download any free apps or updates without it.
    1. Why?
    2. How do people who use gift cards or paypal use this function on their iphone/itouch? (or, really anyone who either doesn't have a CC or doesn't want to use it). There's GOT to be a way when I see other people walking around with their iphones/itouches dl'ing free apps just presumably without a linked credit card on their account. Right?
    I know all I really need to do is wait for my card and update my info when it gets here, but there are some pretty important updates that I kind of need now.

    You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:
