I want to download a free app. But iTunes wants my credit card information everytime and I get declined. Why and how do I fix it.

I want to download a free app. When I sign in then I have to sign in again to iTunes. Then it wants my credit card information as it always does. When I fill it out it says I'm decline and try a different card. Why it do that when the app is free. When first started iTunes I had no problem downloading apps. Why now since I used a card a few times does it ask me for my card information everytime now. Can't download any free apps without being declined.

Hello Snoweagle57,
It sounds like you are trying to download a free app, and when prompted to enter a credit card it is declined. I would use this article to go into iTunes and change your payment method to None:
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)

If you are unable to select None, the following article may help you determine why:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Everytime I try to download a free app I'm asked for credit card information and receive a charge, why?

How can I download a free app without giving my credit card data?

You can also create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
2. Go to App Store and select a free app
3. Tap INSTALL APP
4. Create New Apple ID
5. Confirm Your Country
6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
8. Create and answer your secret question
9. Select NONE for Payment Method
10. Fill in Billing Address
11. Submit application for new Apple ID
12. Wait for verification email
13. When email arrive, verify your account
14. Start downloading your free apps

How did you create the account ? Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

Apple set up the App and iTunes store to require a valid payment method evn for free apps.
You can however set up a new App store account withut a credit card. That account is only good for free apps.

Just downloaded a free apps, but AppStore charged to my credit card, wanna find out what is it for?

Usually it swips $1 for your credit card.
In case you have accidentally purchased anything, you will have a receipt within a couple of days to your mail id. You can reverify the purchase, if any.

What type of payment method are you using?
iTunes store accepted forms of payment

Is this a new account? Even though its a free app the account holder needs to be verified by a verifiabel payment method. Once the account is created, you can remove the info.

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.

I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated. And can't used the app card number. Any advice???

I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

FW: [Adobe Reader] I want my credit card information to be removed from Adobe's file and I can't find a phone number to contact someone in your company, how come, please help! Lucie

What a dumb answer, the payment is done and charged already,
ADOBE DOES NEED MY CREDIT CARD INFO ANYMORE, PLEASE REMOVE IT
FROM YOUR DATABASE AS I CANNOT DO IT MYSELF. It is quite annoying
to be controlled like this, please confirm that my request has been answering
with intelligence please.

Adobe Reader is a FREE program, so you would not enter a credit card
If you have a subscription to a PAID program, removing your credit card information would cause that program to stop working when you stop paying for your subscription
If that is what you want, here is the information on how to cancel
