Why I need credit card. To download any item

Because Apple needs the information required in the event you purchase an item. Without the card there would be nothing to charge the purchase to.

    Hello, Tayub Amin. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To create an Apple ID without a credit  or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

    Apple verifies your account via the credit card. This is how the Apple ID account works.

  • HT204053 Why was my credit card charged I didn't buy anything

    Why was my credit card charged I didn't buy anything

    These are user-to-user forums, we won't know.
    You've checked the purchase history on your account (Store > View My Account, Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11, menu option on your computer's iTunes), and have you made any in-app purchases or have any auto-renewing subscriptions ?  If not and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT5114 why i need credit card for this account?

    why i need to have  credit card for i tune account?

    The 'none' option will be there if you follow the instructions on that HT2534 when you create an account - I've just tried those instructions again and I've got the 'none' option on a new account. If you don't follow those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you can use the account - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them

  • Why do I need a credit card to download a free app?

    Why do I suddenly need a credit card to download a free app? Is this something new or are we somehow getting hacked?

    This is nothing new. A valid form of payment is required unless you originally set up your Apple ID to not require a credit card. Check your Apple ID account. Maybe the expiration date ID past.

  • Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

    I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
    I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
    My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

    I have this problem and it's annoying.  Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!.  So i have 5 kids.  All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc.  This is ridiculous.  Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account?  Why do they have to be the same?

  • I called apple tech support cause my iphone 5 charger just stopped working. Aplle tech support said they can send me a new charger but why do they need credit card information if i have only had the the charger for 2 months and i have 1 year warranty?

    I called apple support because my iphone 5 charger stopped working and they said they would send me a new charger but why do they need credit card information if every apple product has 1 year warranty?

    Hi CryyCorr33
    Sound like they did what is called an express replacment. What apple does is they put a hold on your Credit Card for the amount of the cord because they are sending you the cord first. Then, once you receive the new cord in about 2-3 days, you'll put the defective cord in the box and ship it back out and when they receieve the defective one, they'll be able to remove that hold from you card.
    I believe the reason behind the hold on your card is incase you don't return your defective one to them so they can find out the cause of the issue.
    An Apple Retail Store could swap them out for you in store incase you happen to be near one. This requires no hold.
    Hope this helps

  • Why need credit card to create apple id??

    I have try to create apple id for my aunt but why i need to have credit card to do it???
    Before i dont need credit card at all
    Please help

    Usually just confirms the country you live in - you might not be going to make any purchases from the store but Apple are going to assume you will, and you can only buy from the store for your own country for copyright reasons.  The credit card number verifies the country you are living in.

  • HT2534 Why need credit card for registering for apple id?

    Im registering a new apple id using ios 7 operating system. Do we have to use credit card for registering a apple id? Or not? I cant purchase a free app on spple stoe. Thanks

    You don't need to enter credit card details if you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating an account - if you don't use those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you can download any item from the store (you should be able to remove the card's details after entering them).

  • Why is a credit card needed to create an Apple ID for a minor?

    I'm trying to create an Apple ID for my child and I have to have a credit card on file to do so?  What sense does this make?  If a debit card is REALLY that taboo that I can't do something as simple as this...
    Anyway, why is a credit card required? What if I don't have a credit card, or don't want to use one?

  • HT5649 do i have to have a credit card to download music?

    Do i have to have a credit card to download music? I have 35.00 in credit on account, but it keeps asking for my credit card info.

    You don't have to have a credit card but it is normally used at some point to validate your address so that, for example, you don't try to access the store of a different country. There are usually some hoops you can jump through as you create your iTunes account that work around the need for a card, otherwise once the account is set up you may still see the request. You can try this method...
    Enable the menu bar if needed with Ctrl+M
    Sign out of the iTunes Store from the Store item on the menu bar
    Go to iTunes Store home page
    Go to Quicklinks > Redeem
    Sign in with your Apple ID
    Go through the screens, accepting the EULA, etc.  You should arrive at a Review Payment screen where one of the options is None - select this and continue... you shouldn't actually need to redeem a new voucher/card
    I've adapted the steps slightly from this post. I haven't tested the exact senario since my account is already set up so I get straight through to the redeem code screen but if it works for you it would be useful to know what screens you see at step 6 and when you can return to the store page.
