  • HT201272 Why am I asked for bank details when downloading free apps?

    When trying to install and download free apps from the app store why am I asked to enter my bank details and confirm my purchase???

    For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
    Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

    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"

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The only way to get free apps without a bank card is to create a new Apple ID  following Apple's steps very carefully;

  • Why do I need a credit card to download a free app?

    Why do I suddenly need a credit card to download a free app? Is this something new or are we somehow getting hacked?

    This is nothing new. A valid form of payment is required unless you originally set up your Apple ID to not require a credit card. Check your Apple ID account. Maybe the expiration date ID past.

  • Why am I asked for a password when trying to use about;config, where is the password set and can I change/delete this?

    I tried to use about:config, but I was asked for a password. I don't remember entering a password and have never used the master password function. Where has this come from, and how can I change the password or get rid of the need for a password?

  • Why am i asked for security questions when i never filled any out when registering my device

    When i now try to purchase something from itunes store i am asked to answer security questions for which i never gave answers to when registering my device

    You should have been asked to set them when you created your iTunes account (unless the account was created prior to them being introduced), not when registering a device to your account.
    Are you able to set them, or reset them via the Password & Security section on your account on http://appleid.apple.com ? You won't be able to reset them if you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account.
    If you can't set/reset them then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • 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 do I need a credit card to get a free app

    I downloaded a free app without needing credit card. Went to download another and it said I needed to put in credit card info. Why?

    If the app also has in-app purchases included, then you need a credit card on file in case you purchase something from within the app.

  • HT3702 I got $ 200.00 in my account why I keep asking for credit card detaill but when I enter them they come up declai ?

    I got $ 200.00 dollar in iTunes credits but cannot purchase anything . Please help .

    Eric... this is a user to user forum, not Apple.
    Try this...  launch iTunes on your computer. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer
    See if you can download apps on your iPhone now.
    If not, contact iTunes Billing:

  • Why am being asked for credit card info for a free app of the day?

    IIf an app of the day is free why am I being asked to update my credit card info?

    If you have a credit card on your account then it has to valid and its details correct.
    If this is the first time that you've tried to use the account in the store then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

    somebody please help its driving me nuts, ive downloaded other apps before, its just suddenly stopped working for some strange reason, ive tried changing my bank details but that didnt work either, somebody help before i end up smashing my beloved phone

    Itunes support recently updated their account security so that your billing address in your account must match the billing address of the credit card you are using, as well as how it appears in the USPS database (
    http://zip4.usps.com/). Try making sure your address matches exactly and it should allow you to use your account.
