HT2534 I HAVE to use a credit card..Whats going on? I am getting ripped off

I do not own a credit card of any source, and i am unable to create an Apple ID, to use on my IPod to download FREE apps, because i do not have a valid payment method. there is no option of "None", to use as a payment method.

Follow these instructions for creating a NEW ID/account. You have to use an email address that you have not previously used with Apple and follow the instructions exactly;y.

Do you have to used a credit card, or can you use an iTunes gift card?

I've always used iTunes gift cards for my purchase. Can I use an iTunes gift card, or do I have to use a credit card to purchase a Match subscription?

Hi,
You can use Gift cards BUT you must have a valid credit card on your account.

If i invite my child who is 24 to Family Share do they have to use the credit card I set up or will they have the option to use their own?

I want to set up Family Share, but I want my kids who are over 18 to have the ability to use their own credit cards when purchasing an app or something from iTunes. Is that possible or do they have to always use the card I have on file?

All purchases have to be charged to the organizer's card. The only way to avoid this would be for him to purchase and redeem iTunes store gift cards to create a credit on his iTunes store account. Then his purchases would first be deducted from his credit before any remaining balance would be charged to the organizer's card.

Do you have to use a credit card to purchase an upgrade online?

Or as an alternative, can you add the purchase to be paid on your next monthly statement?

Here are the requirements to be eligible to BTA (Bill to account), as requested:
* Have an account with at least 6 months of service
* Account must be current
* Can not be a "cash only" customer
* No security deposit on account
* No related past due accounts with Verizon Wireless
* No Non-payment hotlines, fraud hotlines or suspends (at time of BTA request or within the past six months).
* Account has not been in collections for 6 months
The last couple of upgrades we have done have been billed to our account and show up on our next statement. It IS convenient!

HT5622 i have never used a credit card on my apple account. i don't have a credit card anyway. Apple ID request a credit card number or else they will close my account. what is happening. I was also informed that several different computers have had acces

don't close my account. i don't buy itunes but i still want access to apple store

Try the advice in this link:

How do you reset the security questions when you havent used a credit card to make any purchases, only the gift cards. Apple support will not help me even though i know my account and apple id and password?

Have a new computer and now cannot access itunes without knowing the answers to the security questions. Apple support cannot reset as we have never used a credit card when purchasing prior, have only used gift cards. Can provide apple id and password and all other account details but still no help. Have we to open a new3 account and start again, this means losing a lot of credit on the existing account?!

I have the same problem. I didn't set a rescue email for some reason. To find out weather you hav a rescue password: Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, go to manage account and then password and security if you do there will be a link below telling you that you can send an email to it. If not the link won't be there. Hope this helps.

Why do you have to submit your credit card number is you are redeeming a card?

why do you have to use your credit card number is you are redeeming ?

I haven't seen a good answer from this yet. You can create a new Apple ID for the store without a CC. You can remove your CC info from an already established ID (you made a purchase in iTunes), but you can't use your Apple ID for first time use in the Store without a CC.

HT2534 How do you use an iTunes card after you have redeemed it?? I have entered my code for redeem and when I click on purchase song it asks me for a credit card?!

How do you use your iTunes card after you have redeemed it. I have entered my redeem code and my balance is $20.00 but when I go to buy a song it asks me for my credit card details...?!

If you set up an Apple ID already and didn't enter credit card details because you were planning on using gift cards only, you probably set up the account incorrectly. If this is the case, you will have to enter the credit card details even if you want to use only gift cards and download free content only. Yoy will not have to use the card, but you can't use the ID without entering the card details now. You may be able to remove the card as well after the card is verified for use by Apple by editing your account details.
There is a very specific manner in which you have to set up an ID without using a credit card. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
See this about changing iTunes account information.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you decide to create a new ID now, you will new another email address as wel, because the email address that you are currently using will already be associated with the ID that you just set up.
I am making certain assumptions here and reading between the lines of your post, so if I am guessing incorrectly, post back with more details.

HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

Hi Saramos,
When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
Family purchases and payments
When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -
How iTunes Store purchases are billed
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

HT1918 i have just made my apple id.i have made this for itunes.after making my account i have problen with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do no

i have just made my apple id. i have made this for itunes. after making my account i have problem with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do now? to proceed further? plz help me!

How did you create the account ? If you followed the instructions on this page when creating it then you should have got the 'none' option : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. on a computer's iTunes, if currently signed into an account then you logged out of it, and you then found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
And then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
When I tried that process to create an account a few days ago I got the 'none' option on the payment details screen.
If you didn't use that process then you will need to create a new account using it (the instructions won't work with an existing account).

Hi! I have 1 credit card and 2 more apple id. Is it possible to use this credit card information for all my apple id?

Though you are being asked for card details it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you want to gift content). Have you tried entering your card's details to confirm the account ? You should then be able to remove it.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance
Is it a new account ? If it is then unless a new account is created by following the instructions on this page (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then you will need to enter card details (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I want to use my credit card to pay for songs. It automatically uses my balance and doensn't give me the option of using my credit card. In detail how do I change it or must I use my balance first?

I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I would rather use my credit card to pay for my music downloads. I cannot find an option to choose credit card over my balance, it just automatically uses my gift card balance instead. Is there a way to change this? I have gone to account settings but cannot find a way to do this. Does anyone have any detailed information on how this could be achieved? Is it even possible? Thanks so much in advance!

Sorry, but there's no way to force the iTunes Store to use your credit card. If there's a credit balance available, purchases will be deducted from that first.
Regards.
