What does my iPad ask for verification when trying to download free app from App Store

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 does my iPad and iPhone keep deleting songs from my music app by itself?

II'm running iOS 8 on both of them and this started happening after I downloaded iOS 8.

Why does apple ipad and iphone have problems with comcast?

We attempt to send pictures through our comcast wifi account and gets to about 90%and freezes. Have reset modem, and router, have turned off phone and reset it. Have switched to 4G then pictures will send. Only has problem when connected to wifi. As my ipad is wifi, I cannot send pictures at all with it.
Did not have this problem until iOS 6 update.
Any suggestions?

My iPad and other devices have no problems with Comcast, but I didn't get my WiFi router from them. If you did, your router may need a firmware update, or you may need to get a different model of router.
Regards.

Why does my iPad and iPhone only sync emails up to 2weeks old

Until very recently I was able to sync emails from my works Outlook account for up to 1-2 months but for some reason this can only be for a max of 2 weeks. Why has this changed as using both for business 2 weeks isn't of much use. Please help as I don't believe it's related to the last software upgrade.

Cause that's what you have it set to, by design or default.
Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / <your mail account> See what Mail Days to Sync is set to. When we set up our corporate MS Office 365 accounts, the iPhone defaulted to one week.

Why do apple need to use my credit number when downloading free apps ?

im about to download a free app - as i have done many times before
and now itunes needs my creditcard info to be correct .. why ? its supposed to be free ?
well i filled the forms with a correct credit card number (my mastercard) and still no result - itunes tells med i should enter a valid payment method
it seems i cant download freee apps when theres not any money on my bank account ? well well ..
can someone tell me why ?

Apple wants you to risk your number out on the internet maybe, they don't care about customers. They state that it is for validation of your account, but this make no sense as you already have entered a username and password, which seems to work fine on any other site. They basically want your wallet to be held hostage, even for updating already installed apps (this should make you think). This is bad in my book, and I think Apple should change this action ASAP. It is not right and they know it, but greed seems to be the game for them I guess. You should not have to risk your credit card number being transmitted across the internet just to update or install a free app. Android market place does not do things this way.
Just Sad how this is

How do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

Just got home with my ipad and its asking for a passcode which i haven't set.....any ideas please???

just got home with my new ipad and its asking for a passcode to let me in - haven't set one up, wasn't told about this in store, any ideas please???? Have tried my apple password & my passcode i use with my i-phone but none works.

Was this a used iPad? Try going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will completely restore the iPad to brand new. It will erase all content, but since the iPad is brand new and you haven't made any changes to it, there is no content that will be erased. Except the passcode, of course

Did you by this iPad new? Or used? If it was a used iPad, you'll need the Apple ID login for the original owner. If you bought it new, contact AppleCare with proof that you are the original owner and they may be able to help you.

HT1694 All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
It went something like this:
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

How do i change my security question? I tried to buy music on itunes and it asked for verification i can not answer the security questions correctly...

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

ITunes 8 no longer asks for verification before downloading? Why not?

I recently downloaded and installed iTunes 8 on my new laptop, and one of the first things I noticed was that whenever I clicked to download a song, it happened immediately, without asking me if I was sure I wanted that particular song.
I thought this was a good thing, until I slipped on my touchpad and ended up downloading a song I had absolutely no desire to have.
So, my questions here are twofold--- 1, is there anyway to get rid of that song and get my money back? It's only a single song, but it's a single song that could be used elsewhere.
And two: how do I toggle it so that iTunes asks for verification before downloading again? Apparently, I can't be trusted with my iTunes money otherwise...

edit - and you can reset the warnings, too

Have you tried updating via iTunes? I find that way's more reliable - I've never had any problems with updating that way.

I used a 25 dollar gift card on my account and I spent it all and now I can't even download free apps is there a way to fix this?

Did you enter a credit card when you created your Apple ID? If you created the ID and never entered a credit card, but used a gift card from the start, you probably didn't create the account correctly. The bottom line is that you have to enter a credit card now. You don't have to use it, but I'm assuming that's why you can't download free apps. You still need to enter the credit card because you didn't creat your Apple ID the correct way for not using a credit card.

Why does my ipad and appleTv work badly with youtube ?

Why does my ipad an apple tv work so badly with youtube, its frozen all the thime

Make sure the wifi signal is strong enough as the iPad uses twice the normal bandwidth (receiving youtube video and sending it to the Apple TV).
if it isn't strong enough, try to move your wifi router closer to the Apple TV room or get an additional router.
