Why do I have to give my debit card information when creating a apple account can I just give something else?

When I try to download apps it says sign in required then I put in my security code but it said its invalid but I know it's correct but I decided to make another apple account but I don't want to give my debit card number what else can I do?

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.).
As regards the security code issue for your current account, take a look here:

If that doesn't help, go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

If you didn't setp your iTunes account, from the beginning, without a credit card, you'll have to either add a credit card to your account or redeem an iTunes gift card, regardless of whether the app is free or not.

Hi ...
Try here > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records

Why do you have to put your credit card information in

why do you have to use credit card information to start an online id

You don't HAVE to, but it sure does make life easier if you do. You might want to buy a song. You might want to buy an App. You might want to make an In-App purchase. I've had my CC tied to my iTunes account now for years, and it's completely secure.
If however, you want to limit what you can download on your iPad. Here are directions on how to set up a credit card free account.

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.

Many thanks

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

My daughter has downloaded free games from the App Store and I have been charged in excess of £200 and I don't know why has anyone had the same issue and if so how did you get your money back

Why do I have to change source input to mono when it's recorded in stereo through my interface from an acoustic pick up in order to hear anything in playback?

Why do I have to change source input to mono when it's recorded in stereo through my interface from an acoustic pick up in order to hear anything in playback?
It's a dean markley acoustic pick up with a mono 1/4" jack. It's plugged into a focusrite interface. GarageBand only records it in stereo and only plays it back in mono.

Why do I have to submit my credit card information just to download free apps?

You don't, if you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) then you don't have to give credit card details, you will get a 'none' option on the payments screen : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

I have iPod apps (from the App Store) like ABC player, NBC player and Facebook. Can I view these via Apple TV on my tv?

This is app dependend. From each app, look for the AirPlay icon (square with the triangle). You may see it or not or you may also see only an audio icon (like probably for ABC and NBC) as some app prevent video AirPlay.
For Facebook, the anwer is no. In order for it to work, you need AirPlay mirroring which isn't supported on iPod.
