Do I really need to put my debit or credit card information to get a FREE app ? Why ?

You can try removing the card in your account information, but if that credit card expired before you removed it, you might be stuck now,
Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores in iOS 6)>Apple ID. Tap your ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Tap the arrow next to Payment Information and select None if it is available in your settings. See if that will work for you.
If iTunes doesn't accept that or if you didn't have None in the options, you are stuck until you enter e new card.

Why do we need to put \\\\ for inserting a single \

Hi,
I wanted to replace the string h"i with h'i. The following code does that.
public class replace {
     public static void main(String a[]) {
          String hel = "h\"i";
          System.out.println(hel);
          hel = hel.replaceAll("\"","\\\\");
          System.out.println(hel);
My question is why do we need to put 4(\\\\) back slash for inserting a single \? Why not just put 2(\\) back slash? Your help is appreciated.
Sundar.

Hi,
Could you please explain bit more on this. Im talking about the second argument in replaceAll method.
All i want is to replace the double quote in the string h"i with h\i.
Why cant the code look like this hel = hel.replaceAll("\"","\\");
If i use this code i get the following exception.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 1
at java.lang.String.charAt(Unknown Source)
at java.util.regex.Matcher.appendReplacement(Unknown Source)

Do i need to put in a credit card in order to get free apps/games??

DO I have to submit a credit card in order to get free apps/games?

Hi lisa garzigli,
Mrguidogenio is correct, but what you need to do is create a new Apple ID. Based on the iOS and device, you need to stay signed out of the iTunes and App stores, which is in the Settings, and install an app. Then when the option comes up, select "Create New Account".
Also on a side note: You need to have an email address, gmail.com, yahoo.com, and hotmail.com are all good ones.
Then fill out the information until it gets to the credit card part. At the credit card part it should already have selected the "None" option. Just skip the iTunes code and finish the sign-up. Then your app will start to install!
Enjoy!

Why am I being asked for my credit card details to upgrade a Free app??

Howdy GaryFC,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If you have a payment source associated with your Apple ID, it needs to be a vaild form of payment. To troubleshoot issues with your payment type being declined, please follow the steps below.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
Open iTunes. If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
Choose Store > View My Account.
Click the Edit Payment Information button.
In the Payment Method section, choose None.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

Why do I have to submit my credit card information just to download free apps?

You don't, if you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) then you don't have to give credit card details, you will get a 'none' option on the payments screen : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Why must I give an updated Credit card for an update on an app I already purchased? I have no outstanding balance.

Why must I gave an updated Credit card for an update on an app I already paid for? Are they trying to charge me again? I have no balance and I am not purchasing any new apps.

They aren't charging you twice. They just want you to verify your security code and expiration of your credit card. Better to make sure you personal info is correct then have a stranger try using your account.
From the iTunes menu bar click Store / View My Account then click: Edit Payment Information.
Make sure all the data is available then click Done.

Why do you need to put credit card details in to the app store when you may want to simply obtain free items in the beginning?

Apple clearly is a leader and thankfully are bringing fantastic products and initiatives to the market.
I certainly hope that the company doesn't get arrogant like it seems to do when forcing people trying to get free apps to put in credit card details.
I suspect it wouldn't be too much work to allow users to try it out first by using some free apps and when they are personally ready they can purchase to their little hearts desire.
Poor showing from this perspecitive and easy to fix.

Never put your credit card info into iTunes as Apple credit card security is horrible. There are many cases of credit card problems with Apple. My credit card was compromised 2 weeks after creating an Apple account. That was the ONLY online usage of my credit card.
Apple does NOT follow PCI compliance which is the credit card industry standards for credit card data protection. It requires all companies to NOT store credit card information online because (surprise, surprise Apple!) it can be hacked.
Why does Apple need to store the credit card data and put the information at risk and why do they not follow industry (PCI Compliance) guidelines - especially for free aps or updates?

Why do i have to put my visa card

Why i have to put my visa card to used my account

Hi..
A workaround is to select None for payment method.
iTunes Store: Changing account information
Mac App Store: Changing your account information
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

Why do I need to give my credit card details to get a free app?

I just want a free app from Twitter, but cannot seem to download it without giving my card details. Is this correct?

Hello pamelafromCornwall,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
As the article below states you do need to have payment information on file if you have already created an Apple ID and are using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time. If you want to remove your payment information afterwards, you can follow the steps in the article below to do so.
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method

When I went into General to disable App purchases I needed to put in a PIN number. Can I change it? And if yes, how?

When I disabled APP purchases, I had to put in a PIN number. Since I cannot take out the credit card I put in without creating another Apple ID, how can I change the PIN number?

Go to Settings > General > Restrictions and enter the restrictions passcode. You can now create a new restrictions passcode.

I need help putting my debit card in my iTunes accout

hi my Name Roberto. im having trouble putting my debit card in my iTunes account because it keeps tellin me my security code is rong.

Connect the iPod to a USB port on the computer with the included cable. The iTunes software will probably open automatically but, if it does not, open it manually. Look at the pane on the left for "Devices" (see below). Select (highlight) your unit and then select the music tab and decide what music you want on the iPod (see below again).
If your iPod does not show up in iTunes, go here for troubleshooting procedure
