HT2731 credit card info required now?
I've been using apple store since March without credit card, now unable to download my free app updates or new ones!
You don't need to provide details of a credit card for an iCloud account, however you need an iTuynes account to purchase apps (free or otherwise). Some locations will allow you to set your payment options to none, try this:
Welcome to the Apple Community.
To be able to download free apps without a recognised method of payment or gift card.
Open iTunes and navigate to the app store. Select a free app to download. A simple way to do this is to scroll down to the top free apps box on the right hand side, hover your mouse over the first item and click on the free button that appears when you hover over it.
A pop up will open asking you to sign in with your Apple ID click "create new account", click continue to create your account. Check the box to accept the store terms and conditions and click continue.
Enter your email address, password, security question, and date of birth, click continue. Now, you will be asked to provide a payment method. Note now that the last option says "none".

HT4847 is credit card info required for i cloud account?
I bought an ipod touch for a grandchild. I wanted to let this ipod have it's own icloud account but to complete this acction I need to put my credit card info on it. I'm not willing to do this for obvious reasons. Is there a way to let the child be able to install free apps without my personal info?

I recently added a itunes gift card to my account and now it wants me to reenter my credit card info and when i do it says credit card declined?
I think I had a similar problem the other day. I purchased an app with a cc that had been canceled by my bank with out me knowing it had been. Once I realized the cc was no longet active I added an itunes giftcard thinking that would allow me to purchase items. Well everytime I tried to ourchase somrthing with the new gift card it kept telling me that I had no funds. So someone in the apple store told me that until the app purchase with the old expired cc cleared on that cc then i would not be able to use any other form of payment. So I had to call my bank and asked them to reactivate my old cc for a couple seconds while I repurchased the app with my bank on the phone. Once that purchae cleared then it allowed me to use apple gift cards. Sorry for long answer but I think this might help you.

HT2731 How to create apple ID without providing my credit card info.?
How to create apple ID without providing my credit card info.?
Actually... this is not true, or at least I had no "None" button to choose from. I only need this device (iPhone) because of my job and have no intentions on purchasing anything from apple, now or in the future. Is there a way to go in and disassociate\remove my CC info Apple systems. How does a company get away with demanding CC info "incase" you decide to buy something later, I don't get it... why not just demand to hold everything I own until I need to use it?
Here is the link mentioned above.

I keep getting a message about my security code not being accurate. I tried 3 different cards & have the same issue. Is this a systems issue? I need to get my apps installed on my new iPhone 4. I am unable to download without confirming my credit card info- My security codes are 100% accurate.Anyone else having this issue? What is the fix for this?
Ohemod,
There are 120+ countries that have iTunes Stores, but that leaves many that do not. You can consult this document: iTunes Store: Which types of items can I buy in my country?
Opening in a new country requires a tremendous amount of legal, commercial and financial investment, but I am sure Apple would be interested in knowing where there is unmet demand. If you wish to make suggestions to Apple, you can use the iTunes Feedback page. -
How can I delete my credit card info from the apps store?
Ever since I put my credit card info into the system it won't let me download anything even if it's free. It keeps saying to verify card info and when I do it ask for the card security number but when I put it in then it says it's not right. I don't know what else to do besides delete the card info but I'm not sure how to do that. I have been downloading free stuff with no problem until last Sunday I put my card info in to buy something and it let me make my purchase with no problem and now I'm trying to download free stuff and it keeps wanting me to verify my credit card info and telling me it's wrong info. Please can someone help me out?
I don't mind having my card info on there but now I can't download anything and it's frustrating. All it ask for is the card security number and when I put it in it says it's invalid. So now while I'm trying to delete it, it just won't let me. The visa part stays checked all the time and I can't unmarked it. I tried to just erase the card number and security code and stuff but it says I have to have it filled in. Do you know how I can check to see if it says I owe money?

This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
Please, can anyone help...?!?
Sincerely,
"Distressed"If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

I have gifted itunes cards to family members once before. Now when I try to send them, after I use my apple ID, select amount, go through all the steps and password, and click buy now....a window comes up telling me it can't be sent, to contact support. My credit card info is up to date I can't understand what the problem can be
If you haven't already done so then you can contact iTunes Support via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : 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

Want to create Apple ID for both my children's IPad's. Tried creating new email account for my son and it will not let me. I want them to be only able to purchase from redeemed gift cards and everytime it asks me to update credit card info on their Ipad.
Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful. -
every time i save my credit card info in my account on ITunes, it shows as saved and as soon as I go to buy something, it says I have no credit card on file and starts over again.
