HT201303 Why do they ask for my credit card info if I'm using a girt card

I have a gift card and I want to purchase some music for my daughter . I go through all the prompts and it goes to the purchase page I type in my info and it says we have a credit, but it wants me to verify my apple account. I just don't want to pay if the girt card should handle the payment ... Any suggestions ???

go to the app store and they will tell you what to do am sure they will help you

  • OS X Mavericks is offered as a free download, why is apple asking for a credit card number?

    Can someone tell me why apple is asking for a credit card number to download the Free OS X Mavericks?

    Yes.  This is what it says.
    Resolution
    You might not be able to see or select the None payment option for one of these reasons. If you don’t want to use a credit card, you can use another form of payment, such as a gift card.
    If you have an unpaid balance or payment due
    You can't select None as your payment type until you pay your balance. To see which order you need to pay for,view your purchase history on a Mac or PC. When you sign in to the store, you might see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
    After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
    If you’re using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time
    If you’re using the store for the first time with an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method. After you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
    If you’re creating a new Apple ID, you might be able to create an account without entering your credit card details.
    If you changed your country or region
    When you change the country or region of an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing options. If you want to remove your payment method after you change the country or region, you canchange your payment information to None.
    She hasn't changed countries nor regions, she's not using the either store for the first time, nor does she owe anything.  She doesn't have a gift card.  She's just a person without a credit card.  She did have one, and now she doesn't.

  • HT201303 Why am I asked for account details if I want to download a free app?

    Why am I asked for account details for a free app?

    For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
    Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

  • My ipad will not connect to wi-fi. I lost it after updating os7. Friend got it to work in CA but coming home to AZ it will not connect. Another thing why are they asking for password when I try to pick location, to my knowledge this has not been asked

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Why is facebook asking for my credit card informatin?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4, facebook is asking for credit card information?  I can't seem to by pass this feature.  How can I load with out providing my credit card information?

    Delete the Facebook App, then reinstall it.  Facebook should not be asking for you credit card.
    Perhaps you mean that the App Store is asking you to update your billing information?

  • Why am I being asked for my credit card details to upgrade a Free app??

    Why am I being asked for my credit card details to upgrade a Free app??

    Howdy GaryFC,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    If you have a payment source associated with your Apple ID, it needs to be a vaild form of payment.  To troubleshoot issues with your payment type being declined, please follow the steps below.
    In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
    You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
    Open iTunes.  If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
    Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
    Choose Store > View My Account.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button.
    In the Payment Method section, choose None.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
    Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
    Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
    Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

    Because many free apps have in-app purchases.  And it's also a way for iTunes to verify you're an adult.
