I would like to purchase apps in the app store without adding a credit card to my apple id. I would like to enter just a gift card as payment. Is this possible? How do I do it?

I would like to set my payment options in a way that will not tie my user id to a credit card, but will allow me to use gift cards to purchase apps. Is this possible? How can I do this? Do I ever have to enter a credit card in order to pay with gift cards?

No. You can redeem Gift cards directly in the Store Apps by tapping the "Redeem" button next to your Apple ID. Usually found at the bottom of the different tabs in the Store Apps.
You can set your payment method to none.
In fact that's what I do. I have no payment option set, and stick exclusively to gift cards.

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 purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store, without any problems.

Sirs,
I purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store, without any problems. Last week, however, receiving a prompt that updates were available, I logged on hoping to update, which resulted in the following window:
>Account not in this Store.
Your account is not valid for use in the US Store.
You must switch to the UK Store before purchasing.<
I have done nothing to facilitate this change in stores and have no way of knowing how to switch back to the UK store.
This is a recent development, I have not had any problems connecting to the UK store before, in fact it happened automatically. Can the fact that I am not actually in the UK now but spend most of my time in Indonesia? This has not effected my purchases from the UK store before, however.
Please help.
Best regards,
Maarten Timmer

How can I delete apps from the app store? There seems to be every app I have ever downloaded and deleted since I got my phone in 2007. When I go to app store and select update apps there's a menu at the top that says purchased and when I select it it shows every app I've ever had! I would like to delete the history please.
Many thanks

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here.

I want to delete my purchased history in the app store..How do i do that?

i recently updated to IOS 7 and don't like how you can see my purchase history in the app store. how can i delete it?

You can hide your purchase history, but not from the iOS device itself.
You need to use iTunes, as shown here:

How to get a Previously purchased app from the App Store from a different account on the same computer?

Recently had to replace my hard drive and some info has gone missing. An App from the App Store for one. How can I get it back now that I have a new account? It wont let me sign on with the old one anymore.

There's no need to create a new Apple ID just because the hard drive was replaced.
Apps can only be re downloaded using the same Apple ID they were purchased with originally.
You will have to re purchase the app using the new Apple ID.

I have 2 accounts in my family and would like to purchase some of the same songs for both accounts, however when I try to purchase a duplicate song from the second account the song says play instead of purchase. How can I get some of the same songs?

Very very likely that tax is applicable and tax is more than $0.01. You need to add a payment method for the tax. If you add a credit card, the girft card balance will be used up first.

HT1689 How can I get a refund on a purchased app from the App Store?

I purchased an app from the App Store and did not get an email receipt. After opening the app, I found it didn't do what I thought it was designed to do. I can't seem to find out how to get a refund from my recent purchase. Any help would be appreciated.

Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)? My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone. I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence?

How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence? We are from Canada, travelling in the USA and wish to buy a TV series but get a message to buy it from the Canadian store. When we tried to do this we got the same message.

According to the terms of sale, you have to be in your country of residence in order to make a purchase. I've heard of people able to make purchases outside their country and also of people being unable to do so. It appears that Apple's enforcement is not 100%.
In order to buy from the U.S. iTunes Store, you would need to have a valid billing address in the U.S., a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes Gift card purchased in the U.S. and be physically present in the U.S. at the time of purchase.
International copyright law is currently very inconvenient for the consumer.
Best of luck.

How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

Coupons as in iTunes Store Gift Cards? If you go to the iTunes store tab, there should be an option to "Redeem" in the Quick Links section on the right side of the home screen. Enter the code there to redeem the credit, and then download whatever you wish from the store.
