Is credit card number is necessary to buy apps from app store???

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 content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
By the way, for future questions, this forum is for iCloud questions. Questions about the iTunes Store will be best posted here:

I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

Hi, I had registered my credit card a week ago on Apple.and then that day I remove all information about credit card off my apple acount.but today i learned that 2 dollars payment has been given off my credit card.but I never buy any paid apps.Each time I was looking up my Itunes on pc , but there was always a 0.00$.so I do not know what to do now.please help me.check it . what happened and where is the 2 dollars? Please .

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

Have you checked your email's spam folder to make sure an email from Apple has not been put in there?

Where are you seeing that? And what exactly are you doing?
Are you a developer? If so, ask in the Developer Forums...

If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

Yes. Each one needs to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in order to re-download from the App Store unless you make your own USB flash drive installer:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

HT201239 is the credit card is necessary to verify my id and activate my iphone 6 after formatting i cant activate it

is the credit card num is necessary to verify my apple id
cause icannot activate my iphone 6 after formatting with my original id need help

No, a credit card should not be necessary. What problems are you having when you try to activate? Have you tried a different nanoSIM from your cell provider?

Welcome to Apple Communities
PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.

2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
4. Install it in the new partition
5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7

I'm wanting to buy a Galaxy Note 2 from a third party, but they don't have the SIM card. Can I buy one from Verizon and they activate it for me?

Wanting to know if I can buy a SIM card from verizon for a galaxy note 2 that I'm wanting to buy frI'm a third party

You would get a new SIM card anyway. You wouldn't use their SIM. If you go to a Verizon corporate store the SIM cards are free,

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.

At first I wanted to get an app in the App Store which is no need to buy it. I'm at Malaysia but the app is only for china. So I change it to china. But the china App Store didn't ask for the credit card thing. So I change the country....

Then I changed it to Malaysia but I can't because the App Store ask me to give the credit card number thing. But friend does that too. But the App Store didn't ask him for the credit card number when he changed back to Malaysia store. Please help me. I really need it. Thanks

Veronica ...
Reset the device then try the App Store.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.
When you can, yes, there's an update available.
Tap Settings > General > Software Update

Help! I can't delete the credit card info from my IOS 7 Iphone 4!

Help! I can't delete the credit card info from my IOS 7 Iphone 4! It doesn't say "none" anywhere! I also don't have a computer so I can't delete it from that and I don't have the money to buy a gift card. Help please!

the removal of a credit card of your itunes account is a simple matter of clicking on the 'none' option once you are inside your account settings of your itunes account.
However, if there is an outstanding issue with you itunes account such as an outstanding balance the credit card then will NOT be removed from your account untill all issues have been resolved.
If you ware unsure of what the issues may be you can then call 800MYAPPLE and ask to speak to an advisor that can help you with itunes account issues. Most any of the advisors answering the phone should be able to assist you.
Good luck.
