I just bought my bf the new ipad mini. He tries to download a free app and it says that he has to pay for it. Help plz

So i bought my bf the ipad mini. Im out of the country and he wants to download Skype to talk to me. Well when he tried to download it, it is saying that he has to pay for it. He also tried to download the youtube app and it is telling him the same thing. His wifi is on and he is able to get on the internet so what is the problem???? Why are they trying to charge him for the free app???? Can someone plz help me....

Those are fee apps, should not be actually charged. Are you sure is not being asked to verify he's the actual account holder by adding billing info to the account? Even though your're not getting billled, the account holder identity still has to be verified.

I am trying to download a free app and keep getting an 'unable to download application' saying I have to sign in to the iTunes store...and I have! What else can I do?

I am trying to download a free app and keep getting the message 'unable to download application' and says I have to sign in to the iTunes store...which I have! What else do I need to do?

We are using wireless...guess it's 3G. Are not having internet problems, synced with the computer even. Can't seem to get anything with iTunes even though we are signed in.

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date? If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought? Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase? Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

My iPad won't let me download recently purchased apps. It says that I have never bought them.

Hi,
The other day I upgraded to the latest ios7, and after I did that, the App Store says that I have never purchased or downloaded any apps, and that I have never deleted any. This is annoying because I have spent a fair bit of money on games which I played, but now I want back, but can't get them back unless I buy them again!
If anyone could give me some help as to what to do so that I can re-download my purchased apps, then it would be much appreciated!

You must use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase to re download for free.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Check the Apple ID.

I'm trying to download a FREE app and the billing info thing keeps popping up. It wasn't doing that yesterday. Now I can't even download anything. What should I do ? Idk why I need thus info when the app is free

You must have a payment method in your iTunes account, even for free content. It is used to verify your identity. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 for information on how to create a billing method if you don't have a credit card.

I was just wandering if the new iPad mini is able to connect to the internet if you have wired internet?

If you have wired Internet there are adoptions for you to add a router or airport express to build a Wi-Fi network.

Is it the new iPad Mini Retina or IOS 7 CRASHES CONSTANTLY

Is it the new iPad Mini Retina or IOS 7 CRASHES CONSTANTLY
I hate to, but I feel I am a guinea pig at 700.00 a crack 128gb mini.
I have 4 of them and THEY ALL DO IT. I have restored, setup as new ipad but nothing works.
also, the colors on the new ipad mini seem dull and off. I have a plum colored car and it looks brown on the mini.
Giving up...

i bought an iPad Mini Retina earlier this week
came back home, updated to iOS 7.0.4 and it crashed many times, while browsing settings but also some apps
i had it exchanged because of a yellow tint on the screen
got a new one, under 7.0.3, also crashed several times, updated to 7.0.4, still crashing
wondering if the new 64-bit processor has something to do with the code used for iOS

Will the new iPad Mini with Retina Display fit into the older iPad Mini case? (Will it be the same size?)

I am planning to purchase the new iPad Mini with Retina Display when it comes out this month. I am curious to know whether it will fit into the older iPad Mini cases that are currently available. I wasn't sure whether I should go ahead and buy a case, or if I should wait due to a size difference. Thanks!

The 'old' case will cover the rear microphone, but the new and currently sold iPad mini smart case has the cutout for the rear microphone. It can clearly be seen on mini Smart Case photo.
I had a black mini SmartCase on order at the time I posted the above. Although my mini-retina won't arrive for a couple of weeks the case arrived today. I has the cutout for the rear microphone just as shown in the images on the Apple Store.

Does the IPAD AIR and the new IPAD Mini Retina have the itouch feature?? I keep getting different answers.

Does the new IPAD AIR and the New IPAD Mini with Retina have itouch built in??? I keep getting a different answer to my question,

The only YouTube videos I can find that show show iPads with TouchID are clearly labelled as "concept videos", they are *not* videos of actual new iPads. Most seem to date from the period between the release of the iPhone 5S and the release of the iPad Air and Mini with Retina display.
As you will see from the specs and features listed on the Apple website, and every one of the zillion or so reviews of them that have appeared in the last few days, neither of the new iPads have TouchID. So if My Apple are telling you it's coming to them in the near future then it's big news, very big news indeed, because this is the first anyone has heard of it. Either that or the people at My Apple are confused.

I have had i phones for the last six years and i just bought the iphone 5. I tried to download a paid application and for the first time i am asked to answer my security questions which i don't remember. In order to reset my question i need my rescue emai

That is normal for purchasing apps for a device not previously associated with your Apple ID.

Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own. I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me. Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?

Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own. I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me. Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?
Also, it's been a little quirky lately: slow to respond to key pad touching and making it impossible to delete Apps?
Should I try wiping it and restoring it to factory settings?
Thank you.
Ben

It isn't a virus.
I would try the Restore from backup first and if that does not help try a Restore as a new iPhone.
