I am not allowed to download a free app from US iTunes  store

I wanted to download free ABC News Iphone app from US store as its not avaliable in thr French one.
I get a message stating my Apple Id doesn't allow ime to do so.
How can I manage ?
Thanks for your help.
Jean.

You can't - not unless you have a credit card with a US mailing address to create a US iTunes store account even for a free app. This is required and due to licensing and other issues in each country, which Apple has nothing to do with. It is up to ABC News to license and provide their free app via the iTunes app store in France.

    If you didn't setp your iTunes account, from the beginning, without a credit card, you'll have to either add a credit card to your account or redeem an iTunes gift card, regardless of whether the app is free or not.

  • Can I download free apps from the iTunes store, without submitting a credit card number?

    I've tried to download free Apps from the iTunes store several times. It tells me to login, so I do. Then it says "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." When I click Review, then I click continue, I Agree to the terms and conditions, then it wants me to enter my credit card number! BUT ITS FREE!!!!!

    Hi..
    Try here >  Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
    Apple verifies your account information with every transaction whether paid or free media.
    Select None ...
    FYI... the None option is not available in all countries.

  • I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

    When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

  • How many times can I re-download music or apps from the iTunes store?

    Hey guys!
    How many times can i Re-download the iTunes songs and apps?
    I am thinking of buying a few albums from iTunes, but I am not quite sure if I have the possibility to re-download them as well?
    Thanks!
    Rick

    "How many times can i Re-download the iTunes songs and apps?"
    As many as you like, until or unless they are no longer offered.
    You should ALWAYS maintain a backup copy of your computer, including your music.

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • HT3702 My Payment Method That Is On Fill Is Correct And My Security Code Is Correct You All Are Telling Me That It Is Invaild And I Can Not Download No Free Apps From The Apps Store!!!!!!!!

    My Payment Method That Is On Fill Is Correct And My Security Code Is Correct You All Are Telling Me That It Is Invaild And I Can Not Download No Free Apps From The Apps Store!!!!!!!!

    The short answer is no.
    Unless you are selling the app via the Enterprise Deployment option, everyone has to download via their own iTunes account ID. Yes, iTunes can be used by multiple IDs but this makes it very messy to resolve later.
    What kind of app is this? Which Expo? If an Expo for selling apps has poor Internet connection I would question the validity of using such an expo in the first place.

  • HT204266 I hav e downloaded some free apps from itune store. When I try to install in my ipod it doesn't go through. it can not install in my ipod touch.

    I have downloaded some free apps from Itune store. but when i sync those apps in my ipod touch it dosn't apear in my ipod. i can't use that apps. what should i do? help please.

    Are the apps compatible with your model iPod and its iOS version? You say you have a iOS 4.2. That implies a 2G iPod. Many, many apps now require iOS 4.3 or later or a 3G or later iPod.
    Also do you have Restrictions turned on that would d prevent installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    Just wondering, what context is this in?
    First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
    Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
    If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
    One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
    If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
    Hope this all helps a bit

  • Hey!  I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes.  I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted.  What do I do?

    Hey!  I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes.  I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted.  What do i do?!

    The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID.  First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes.  Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed.  If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID.  Then, connect the iPad.  Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice.  Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
    If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
    If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated.  Post back and we'll go from there.
