I am trying to install free apps but am being asked to verify payment account first, why is this happening and will I be charged?

Are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ? You won't be charged for downloading free apps (some free apps do then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features, though you can turn that off via Settings > General > Restritions > In-App Purchases 'off'), but if you add or change the credit card details on your account then you are likely to receive a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - that should disappear within a few days or so.

If you only want to download free apps then there are instructions on this page for how to create a new account in your country's store without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Likely because you are trying to create a Mac App Store account with an existing Apple ID. The None option often is not available in that case. If you create a new Apple ID and iTunes/Mac App Store account following these instructions carefully, you will be successful in getting free apps without a payment method.

Your account needs to have a credit/debit card on file. If you don't have one, you'll need to setup a new account without one.

Trying to install pages app, but can't download iOS 5.0

Trying to install "pages" app, but can't download iOS 5.0? Is iOS the same as iTunes updates?

Is there a reason why you cannot download the update to iOS 5?
When you connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, you can select your iPad in the left sidebar of iTunes and then click on the summary tab on the right. Click on the Check for Update button - if iTunes does not present the update to you in a pop up window.

HT5622 Why am I seeing the message"you haven't verified ur id yet"every time I tried to install an app but i did verify my id

Why am I seeing the message"you haven't verified ur id yet"every time I tried to install an app but i did verify my id

Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking me to update my billing info. I retyped everything from my card and it keeps saying my security code is invalid. Any suggestions?

I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking for my billing info so i retype everything and it keeps saying my security code is invalid when i know its not. It is same card they had on file before and the same security code but now it wont take it and i cant update anything. HELP!

If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

I am trying to update my apps, but an old, deactivated iTunes account comes up. My iCloud is set to my new account. Why is this happening?

Because all apps are FOREVER tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & they can only be updated using that ID.

I am trying to update my apps but it is asking for my card details and when i enter them it says my card was declined but i havent bought anything, can i see what the purchase is for?

Again, Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
Always, mean exactly that, always.
If you want them to be on your account then you need to buy them using your account.
