HT201303 Trying to install free app asking for credit card. Why
It's asking for a credit card for a free app
For security --- to make sure it is you.
If the app is free, then you will not be charged. But of course some free apps provide the ability to make in-app purchases.

You are going to have to get a different credit card, or purchase an iTunes gift card.

HT201303 Can't update free app without putting credit card information? Why?
Cannot update free app without updating my credit card information! Says I am using new device to connect with app store ? This is not true as I'm using and have always been using my I phone. And why do I need to provide credit card info for free app?
Change your payment information to none on your iphone, goto settings > store , tap on your apple ID , tap view account , tap payment type , change to none.
This is all provided that you don't owe itunes any monies, if so then attach a credit card or itunes gift card and pay your arrears.
Free app or paid app, you will not be able to use your apple id until you settle one of the above. -
I cant download free apps when my credit card limit is over?
I am trying to download free apps, but my credit card limit is over... i can´t download??
say that my credit card is invalid!!
why??
how i can remove this credit card and use free account??
thanks!Is it an account that hasn't been used in the store yet then how did you create it ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them) or create a new account (and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it). If you do create a new account and you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

I am trying to install free apps but am being asked to verify payment account first, why is this happening and will I be charged?
Are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ? You won't be charged for downloading free apps (some free apps do then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features, though you can turn that off via Settings > General > Restritions > In-App Purchases 'off'), but if you add or change the credit card details on your account then you are likely to receive a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - that should disappear within a few days or so.

If you only want to download free apps then there are instructions on this page for how to create a new account in your country's store without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -
I have created an apple id on my pc but when i'm trying to download free apps from itunes store it's asking for credit card information which i don't have, that's why i went through apple support there i found "if you don't have credit card then click on none option but the problem is there isn't any none option so plzzzz some help me?
If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
Please, can anyone help...?!?
Sincerely,
"Distressed"If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click "iTunes Store" in the left navigation pane. Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

Wby Apple apps keep asking for credit card? No app is working
Are they "Free" apps with In-App Purchases? If so, you need a credit card on file for the In-App Purchases.

I am trying to install free apps but I always get billing problem? Payment Method!!?
I am trying to install free apps but I always get billing problem? Payment Method!!?
Likely because you are trying to create a Mac App Store account with an existing Apple ID. The None option often is not available in that case. If you create a new Apple ID and iTunes/Mac App Store account following these instructions carefully, you will be successful in getting free apps without a payment method.

The only way to get free apps without a bank card is to create a new Apple ID following Apple's steps very carefully;
