I can't download any apps even free apps and it's asking me for my credit card details . Is it necessary to give?

I just bought my I-pad 3 and none of the apps are getting downloaded and it's asking me for my credit card details due to which I can't even download any free apps .....what should I do ?

You just have to go in through the back door, so to speak. DOn't create an ID first, go to the app you want, try to download, click on the 'create an id' button and then, when you get to the payment page, you'll see an option for 'none'.

    Try following the instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving a credit card number i.e. select a free app and create an account whilst 'buying' it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    Take a look at your remaining memory make sure you have enough memory to download the apps, also try restarting your iPhone by hold down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

    Are you saying that iTunes needs your credit card number to be able to download the app? If so you can give your credit card number to iTunes/Apple.
    If you don't want to submit a credit card (number), here is how to download the app without a credit card.

    Trying to download Photo shop elements free trail and it is asking me for serial #.  Where do you find free trail Serial #

    There is no serial number for a trial version.  You get the serial number when you purchase.  You should be able to select an option to continue with the trial if it is not indicating the trial is over.  If the trial is indicated as over, that can happen prematurely for a variety of reasons.

  • My iPhone 3S will not allow me to upgrade. I can't download any apps and when I connected my iPhone to iTunes and tried to upgrade it, it said it was already updated. On top of that, WiFi does not work with my iPhone. What do I do to fix this?

    My dad got this iPhone for me a few months ago as a gift since I had a really awful phone before.  The only thing is, I can't seem to upgrade it to the latest software without it telling me it's already updated to iOS 4 or something like that.  (I would be able to give you the exact iOS version, but ever since connecting my iPhone to iTunes, my phone isn't responding so I can't check the settings or anything.)  I can't download any apps (I get an error message saying the software on my phone is too old) and so I pretty much am extremely limited to what I can do on this phone.  I'm very frustrated at this point and incredibly displeased with Apple's products.
    If someone could please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it, I'd be extremely grateful.
    Thanks.

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

    Hello there, Gwald.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Specific to iPad are the following:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • When I try to download an app I am asked to give additional security questions, but I am timed out every time. If I press the "not now" option the app download resets. At the moment I can't download any apps because of this.

    when I try to download an app I am asked to give additional security questions, but I am timed out every time. If I press the "not now" option , the app download resets. At the moment I can't download any apps because of this.

    If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front.  This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card.  This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

    I've canceled the billing info, got an app store pre paid card and still can't download any apps! Free nor purchasing! Help!!

    If you're in the USA, it would be hard to zero balance a gift card just with purchases as there are sales taxes in most areas that you don't know the amount of until the purchase is complete. My guess is that the issue is with the last purchase, there wasn't enough credit left on the card to cover the sales tax.
