HT2534 Why is the app store asking for payment information to download a free app?

I've never had a problem downloading free apps. Now, all of a sudden, I can't download a free app without going through the purchasing step, which I am not because it's free?! Anyone else having this problem?

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.

Why does the itunes store ask for passwords to different accounts?

Sometimes when I sign on to buy something at the iTunes store it will ask me for a password to an old.mac account. Then in ther cases it will ask me for a more current account.
And how do I combine all of the ourchaes from both these accounts into one?

You can't currently combine accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that account will be able to authorise its content, re-download it, and/or download updates to its apps.

How to Restrict or Remove In-App Purchasing from an iPad

When i open ibook, the iTunes store asks for my password. it goes away when i press cancel or when i put in my password. why is this happening?

When I open IBook, the ITunes store asks for my password. It goes away when I press cancel or enter my password. It seems unnecessary to me. Why is it doing this? I already paid for the book.

If you are trying to update information for your apple id then go to appleid.apple.com and click on manage your apple ID... you'll probably have to enter your old email address/password

I brought iPad for my nephew logged in with my id and download iWork's which was free. Now as it was against my id I deleted the app and changed default I'd as his, now I try to install iWork's it is asking for payment though iWork's is free on this ipad.

That's because the free apps are already registered to your Apple ID. You can't use them with another Apple ID.

Why apple forces me to choose a payment method to download a free aplication when I already check "payment method ...... NO" in the settings of my apple account

Asking for card details is a way of confirming that you are able to buy from that country's store, it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you are trying to gift content or an amount, that can only be done via a credit card) - have you tried entering the card, you should then get the 'none' option so that you can remove it

The Simpsons Tapped Out, update through App Store asking for payment?

I am a daily player of TSTO, but I can't update cause when it takes me on to the App Store it's saying "sign in required" and then taking me to my account for billing information. Even though I found this strange I went ahead and put in my billing information. When I click done it's bring up the message "Your payment method was declined, please enter another payment method"?!? I have NO IDEA why it's even asking me for any sort of payment in the first place as it's a free game, and how could there possibly be a problem with my payment method as I use this exact same payment method everytime. Nothing has changed, card hasn't expired etc... I contacted EA Support team at first, and they said the exact same, it shouldn't be asking for any sort of payment! They advised me to contact apple but being from the UK this is pretty much impossible. There is NO way to contacted them about this sort of problem without having to pay an arm and a leg to phone them! I managed to email them through some sort of help thing that I now can't even find, but it's been 2 day's and still no reply...
If anyone can help thanks to you in advance

Well in my experience with having an iPhone for over 2 years, it is pretty hard to get help from them. I'll try that link though, thanks. Why is it asking me to update payment info? NOTHING about my payment info has changed and I know that I'm not the only person has this issue before. I used the same payment method the other day with no hassle
Anyway, even when I do put in the correct billing info again (updating I suppose)it's declining???

Why I am being ask about credit card information for free apps?

Pre-auth charges, and so on. Checking your billing is up to date, etc.

I received an e-mail from apple store asking for billing information update. Is this legitimate

I received an e-mail from apple store telling mr that my account billing information is out of date. Is this legitimate

If it has a link than most likely no. For example
It has come to our attention that your billing information is out of date. To fix this, refer to the link below
That is most likely a scam and you should not click on it. It would help if you provided a copy of the email, just to be sure.

In iTunes, click "Store", sign in with your Apple I.D. After singing in, click "Store" again, select "View my Account", re-enter your password and your account info will be displayed.
Click "Edit" in front of "payment information" and select "None"
