HT3702 Why in the world can you not download free apps, even if there is not enough money on your credit card, explain this to me, I am so mad.

Explain to me why you can't download free apps if you do not have a lot of money on your credit card, someone help me with this.

The iPhone 3G was discontinued 2 1/2 years ago. It maxed out at iOS 4.2.1 and can't run anything higher.
Apple isn't making your phone useless for apps, the app developers are doing so by not supporting a version of iOS that old.

  • HT4839 Why in the world can i not change APN settings on a no-contract, unlocked iPhone?

    i want to be able to change APN settings on my iPhone. !!!

    thank you      jstrohl  .
    I'm not sure if this will be of help to anybody.
    but I was able to bypass (or trick) AT&T restrictions on APN settings:
    by inserting my old net10 T-mobile SIM card, which allows me access to
    APN settings. While "inside"  the APN settings i SWITCHED from t-mobile to AT&T
    SIM card. the APN settings' window remained open and then I was able to change to my desired APN settings.
    i want to mention that the only issue I had was sending PICTURE messages.
    I had access to the web with Net10's downloaded APN settings:         iapnupdatetfdata.net10.com
    from this website:               http://www.net10byop.com/program.php

  • Why in the world can I not update apps in iPod tough FOUTH gen on iOS 6, as it is not compatible with iOS 7...very very aggravating

    Having some issues with iPod after the new iOS 7 update that is unavailable for the 4th gen iPod touch. This new iOS has only been out for a day and is appearing to already be creating issues on older devices.

    I am having issues too. Sometimes it shows I have 8 updates in the app store. *On Tuesday, I had alert buttons for 3 apps.* Then when I tried to install, it fiddled and hung. Next time I accessed it would show no updates available. At times it shows a list with every app I have ever downloaded (including ones I deleted ages ago) Does this mean no further updates for any app will be available on 4th generation iPod Touch machines? When I log into iTunes (running version 10.7.0.21) it says no updates available. Our family has a 3rd gen and two 4th gen iPod Touches. I'm afraid to update iTunes itself because it seems like every other one makes the older models hard to recognize for sync/backup functions.
    I apologize if this should have been a new thread on its own.

  • Using iTunes why can you not backup and save your voicemail?  Guide me through this step by step if possible.  If alternate method MUST be used then provide same.  Truly appreciate this.

    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support  - link doesn't state that voicemail is part of the backup
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview  states that VVM is part of the icloud backup.
    You can also contact your cell phone provider - as voicemail is a carrier feature.

    Never mind.   I bought the movie through my 4S phone.  
    iTunes is beginning to really suck with their latest version. 

  • Why can't I download free apps? It asks my payment info every time I try to download.

    Why can't I download free apps? Every time it try to download free apps it ask me my payment options.

    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.

  • I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

    All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

    How can I download a free app with an existing Apple ID without to give my credit card infos?! The ID ist already made...

    Sorry, but you can't. The process only works when creating a new Apple ID. With an existing ID you'll have to provide a payment method at least temporarily.
    Regards.

    You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
    1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
    2. Go to App Store and select a free app
    3. Tap INSTALL APP
    4. Create New Apple ID
    5. Confirm Your Country
    6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
    7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
    8. Create and answer your secret question
    9. Select NONE for Payment Method
    10. Fill in Billing Address
    11. Submit application for new Apple ID
    12. Wait for verification email
    13. When email arrive, verify your account

  • Why can't we download free apps from every region?

    Hello all,
    I am trying to get the full version for angry birds free, I know it is available to download, however when I do a search in the app store I can't find it.
    When I do a search on google, I can find several links to download it, but when I do, I get a "this app is only available in the US store" error.
    I don't understand why this happens in the first place, it are free apps, I can download them to my pc, android users can download them without any problems, so why can't we?
    As for all the discussions about needing a different credit card for each region is a load of ********, excuse my language, a visa card or any other credit card is made for international purchases, that is the whole reason people get one, it makes no sense why apple is being so anal about it, or do they like o annoy people who spent a lot of money on their products.
    Android is gaining on them and pretty soon a lot of people will change to that instead of an apple product unless they get their act together here.

    @Demo:This is my first apple device, so I had no idea about those limitations, I knew I could not install Magic 2013 on an android, that's why I chose to get an ipad.
    I just think that if enough people actually bother to complain instead of just letting people/governments/companies walk over them, they will actually care what their consumers want/need, that's probably just wishful thinking on my part.
    @snozdop: funny you bring up the heinz reference, baked beans from heinz haven't been available in shops here for the last few years, but those are cans, need to be imported and that involves transportation etc. etc.
    I am just talking about a digital app, available on the internet(world wide web) limiting regions completely destroys the point of having global internet access.
    I'm a dreamer, hoping that most people are still good, probably my mistake for believing in that.

  • Can I not use a family members credit card to buy a new phone?

    I'm looking to upgrade to a new phone, but due to limits on my own debit card, I would like to use a family members credit card but it seems I'm unable to do so. Is there a way around that?

  • Used a prepaid credit card on my account, can no longer download free apps. Cannot remove from billing information.

    Firstly, if this is the wrong category, I apologize.
    I used a prepaid credit card on my apple account to purchase an app add on for $2. The credit card only had $2.50 on it, which is why I used it. Now that I spent what was on it, I am not able to download even free apps from the app store. I have tried signing out and back in to try and erase the data, didn't work. I tried to create a new Apple ID and for some reason the option to not have a credit card on your billing info is no longer there like it was when I made my original account. I also tried to go through iTunes on my PC to fix the issue, it didn't work. I don't have another credit card to put on my account as I always use pre-paids as needed. Does anyone know how to get this card off of my billing information so I can download the free apps again?!
