HT2589 I don't use credit card but debit card, is it acceptable in itunes

I recently bought iPad 4 32GB but am unable to download even the the free applications, reason ITunes need me to review my account and indicate my credit card which I dont have. I only use debit card and I need to download applications otherwise my iPad becomes irrelevant. Anyone there to guide?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Shopping the App Store/iTunes store requires an iTunes Store account. When you create an iTunes Store account, you must provide a payment method for your purchase. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use credit cards, gift cards, store credit, or PayPal.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells applications, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices are listed in either US Dollars or Euros.
If you have a gift card you can redeem it to open an account.

Why won't Apple accept debit cards? I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card. I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through. I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt!

Why won't Apple accept debit cards to buy an iPhone 5? I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card. I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through. I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt! They (ATT) re-emphasized this is not their policy, but Apple's and that I would have the same problem if I went to Verizon. Is this really the policy and if so why? Apple has no problems accepting debit cards for my iTunes account?!

I think this is an AT&T thing not an Apple policy, I had this battle with them before when the 4s came out.So this time I went directly to the Apple stor, I had no problem pre-ordering my Iphone5 on the 14th with my debit card, already shipped will be here the 21st. I'd go straight to the Apple store and purchase them there...

add the card then you can chose the none option and it will remove the card, and use gift cards if you ever want to make a purchase

Get an iTunes gift card & redeem that in iTunes. You can setup an App store account without a credit card, but to purchase paid content you need a payment method.

I don't think that debit cards are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. You could try contacting iTunes support but I don't think that you will be able to use it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If you don't have a credit card then are iTunes gift cards available in your country ? They are not available in all countries and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue), so you won't be able to use those from another country.

If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

As far as I know debit cards aren't accepted as a valid payment method. There are instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Depending upon what country that you in you might be able to buy iTunes gift cards from Apple or other stores (supermarkets, electronics stores etc) and use those to buy items - but they aren't available in all countries, and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Hi naderanissi
This is just a user - to - user support forum so no one can help you with payments.
The Apple Store accepts different forms of payments in different countries. If you do not have the option to pay with a debit card then you must choose another form of payment.
Try calling Apple at the phone number that appears in your Apple Online Store.
