Why do I have to put payment verification in for free aps?

You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

Hi Lawrence. I'll go through the process. I click on SMTP under outgoing mail server. My primary server, smpt.aol.com is on. The next screen says server, which is on, then underneath that is the outgoing mail server. Everything under that heading is greyed out, which includes the host name, my user name, password (which says optional), user ssl (which is on), authentication, then server port 587. I need to change my password where it says optional, but it is all greyed out and won't allow me to do so. Thanks very much for your help!

HT201303 Why do I have to put in a credit card when I redeemed an iTunes gift card?I

itunes says the card was redeemed and it still asked for a credit card or address when I want to use the gift card.

Is it an account that you've just created ? If it is, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store - you should be able to remove your card after entering it, it won't be charged (apart from a temporary store holding charge which your card issuer will remove within a few days or so) if your balance covers the purchase (you can't use your balance for gifting). Credit card details may also be requested if you change countries so as to confirm that you are able to purchase from your new country (e.g. that you have a billing address in that country).
If you are being prompted to review 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#24303054

TS1702 why do i have to put in password for free apps

why do i have to put a password in for free apps

That's how it is. But really, do you want anyone who happens to get his hands on your iPad to download whatever? It's your account, and entering a password insures you are in control.

You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552

Why do I have an extra payment showing on my bank statement?

This is a user to user support forum. Apple isn't here. Apple doesn't answer questions here. No one here has any idea what your question regards. That would be a matter to take up directly with your bank and iTunes or Mac App Store support.

I need to restore my sons ipod touch because he forgot his pswd. I can do this but it asks to backup first and my computer has no more memory to do this. Aren't all my itunes app purchases stored anyway? Why do I have to put this info onto my labtop?

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.

My daughter is 7 and I don't allow her to download anything on her iPod touch. I have to put in my password for anything to be downloaded. Recently when putting in my password, I am being ask to enter in an additional email address for verification purposes. I need to know why this is. I have 1 email address that I use and don't see a reason to create a additional email address.
Can somebody tell me if this is normal?
Thanks

Why must I provide payment details for FREE aps?

Why must I provide payment details for Free Aps?

To prove you are in the country whose app store you are trying
to use. Not all apps are available in all countries, and some
countries have no AppStore. Also some apps have in-app
purchases and information is necessary to make those purchases.
Purchase an iTunes card and redeem it in your account -
that will allow you to download free apps without credit
info. Check to see if available in your country.

Why do i have to pay more than once for my purchased album in itunes, when i download them again?

Probably because you purchased them again, instead of following the proper method for redownloading apps.

Why do i have to enter my apple id for every purchase

Why do I have to enter my apple id for every purchase in the app store. I thought the new ios would remember it every time.

It only "remembers" such for 15 minutes after the first purchase. This is done for security reasons. It is app updates that no longer require a password.

I have somehow managed to lock my phone to one laptop, like I cannot put music on my phone from another laptop and i have to put in screen lock for it to even play! Anyone know how I can fix this ?

What you did was sync it to a computer. The iPhone can sync to ONLY one iTunes library at a time. you can't put media on it from multiple computers. It's been this way since 6/29/2007.

Completely different issue. What did you think it would do when you set a passcode for the phone?

I have not received my verification email for my Apple ID.

I have not received my verification email for my Apple ID.
I have waited a couple of days, re-checked email, re-checked network connection and checked spam folder still nothing.
I can receive apple emails when resetting password, Apple support etc, why can't I receive the verification one?
Help would be appreciated, thank you

Try requesting that it be sent again by logging into your account on http://appleid.apple.com - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
