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?

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".

A credit card is required for FREE stuff?

I hope you guys can clarify this to me.
As a man who has purchased items through the internet for a long time, I learned that if you aren't willing to pay for anything it is important you don't just hand out your credit card info (due to frauds).
Why am I required to fill in my billing address while attempting to download a free application? Does Apple want to keep my billing info even though they aren't supposed to charge me for anything? (yet)
Thanks

The billing address is required to verify that you are eligible to buy from a give iTunes Store as cross border sales are not allowed.
Once you have set up your account, you can remove the credit card information. You can also set up an account using a gift card. I believe that set up an account with no payment information (but still with address) for just the App Store but I don't know the details.
Best of luck.

No it´s under that email that is in the forum. The subscription dissappeard as you didn´t got my last payment, and now I don´t know how to change my credit card info. Does it means that it have been canceled automatically? cause when I start my CC, there´s a text saying that I have 6 days left to change my payment info.

Why is it asking me for credit card info when I create an account?

I used a prepaid credit card on my account because I'm only 16 and don't have my own real credit card. This apparently screws it up, so now I can't use that account. I want to make another account, but now it's telling me that credit card information is required to create an account.

For a standard acccount you need a CC.
You can however set up a NEW account f w/o a credit card by following these instructions:
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Adobe just billed my credit card without authorization for Adobe Cloud using the information they had from my photoshop order.

Very scummy billing practices. I never authorized Adobe cloud to be billed to my credit card. They simply used my credit card information obtained from my Photoshop order. I want a full and immediate return of all funds. At this point I will also cancel my Adobe Photoshop order.I will certainly spread this on the web as well

Hi there
I could only find an order for a Creative Cloud Photography plan under your account. This was started on November 7th and is billed $9.99 each month.
Did you sign up for this? What is your Photoshop order number?
Kind regards
Bev

I dont know if this will be in the right forum, if its not feel free to move it, but i was only wondering how can i remove all my credit card info from my apple id account but still keep the account?

Go to the store in iTunes and in the top right click on your account. You can add or remove payment info there.

Replacing Credit Card info for auto pay

My account is setup to autopay to a credit card. The card on file has been compromised and I want to update my info. The account is due to autopay on 8/20. If I update the credit card info today, will the new account be charged 8/20 -- or will it be charged immediately?

Hi MissWS -
To change the payment method for your automatic bill pay:
Note: When you change your payment method for our automatic bill payment services, we have to stop the old payment method and start a new process for your the new payment method. In select markets, you can enroll in automatic payments with your new payment method up to midnight the night before your payment is due, and the payment the next day will be processed using your recurring payment method as per usual. In other markets, however, your payments will not start again until your application is processed, which can take up to 45 days to approve. You will see on-screen messaging about this waiting period – if it applies – when you confirm your new payment method in My Account.
Sign in to My Account.
Click Billing & Payments.
Select the Manage automatic payments link.
Click Change payment info.
Choose your payment method and enter the required information. Click Continue.
Read the Terms of Service, check the box to accept, and click Continue.
Review your payment information and click Confirm new settings.
A confirmation will appear so you know the payment was processed. Note any processing time for the payment.
Depending on your selections, you may have further options on the page. You can also print the page for your records.
To finish, click I'm done.
To stay on top of your one-time payments, you can sign up to receive mobile alerts on your phone that notify you when a bill is ready and when a payment is due. Add your mobile number here.

Need to know how to prevent credit card info going to wrong e-mail address I mistyped when donating to an add-on programmer?

When I saw the confirming message of my contribution (made by credit card), the email address I entered was mistyped. How do I prevent the erroneously typed e-mail address from getting my credit card info, or for that matter, how do I prevent/correct the email address to be used for confirming my contribution?
