If I use a Itunes giftcard as my new Payment Info, will they ever prompt me for my main card?

Hello.
So for starters I just want to remove my Card info from my Phone, but for reasons unkown this seems to be impossible. I tried creating a new account, and the lovely "none" option for the card info is only there for the first time use on the divice, considering I already made one it continuously prompts me for a Card. Tried making one on the website, all was good, but when I download a free App the phone prompts me to add in a card.........
I am planning on giving my niece this phone, and I can not create a new account without putting in some form of a card. Purchasing stuff on the Store seems to be exactly the same as downloading a free app, click buy, type in password. done. So I want to have my card gone so she can download FREE games and not make any acedental purchases.
I tried looking for answers online, so far nothing. But I am wondering, if I buy a say, 10$ Itune giftcard, make her an account and give her the phone with a new account with the 10$ code as the payment, will they ever prompt me for having to putt in a Credit card info when I try to download FREE apps?

It is worthwhile to note that a lot of In-App purchases require a Credit Card associated with an account.

I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes. Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers. When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

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

You can't all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase/download it.

Copy everything ( itunes, pics, contacts,calendars, files docs,etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

Hey there i downloaded apps using another apple id than the one am using right now and i need to update the apps they keep asking me for the old one that i dont have any more what to do please

Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and re-set th password for the old one.
Then, log into the app store with it and update the apps purchased with that ID.

Can you use an iTunes Giftcard to Purchase iPod Touch 2.0 Update?

This might sound like a stupid question but i am wondering this because on the main page it says (Canada Store)
"note that store credits cannot be applied toward this purchase"
Help appreciated as I won't spend 20$ on a giftcard if it won't work
Thanks

If you are located in Canada, you cannot use an iTunes Gift Card to purchase the version 2.0 upgrade or any applications. You can use the gift card for music and video purchases. There were a number of threads about this right after the upgrade was released. According to one of the ones I read, it has to do with some provision in Canadian law. So, lobby your MP.
Best of luck.

How do i use my itunes giftcards for clash of clans

i'm having difficulty paying for gems in clash of clans with an itunes gift card. they want a credit card, but i don't have one. thanks.

If you haven't already done so then redeem the card onto your account : Redeeming iTunes Gift Cards and content codes
And as long as it covers the purchase price, plus any applicable taxes (and you are using the iTunes account that downloaded the game), then only your account's balance should be charged - if it doesn't cover it then any additional amount will be charged to your credit card.

In-app purchase not using my iTunes giftcard

I purchased an in-app permenant update on my account. My account is not connected to any credit card, but it does have $15 from an iTunes giftcard on it. The in-app purchase was $1.99. After the purchase, my account showed the same balance, $15, but the app stayed updated. Will I be billed or will my account eventually be charged?

Some apps allow the user to purchase things. For example, you can purchase an upgrade to the app which removes advertisements; or "tokens" within a game so you can advance through the game faster/easier; or upgrade from what amounts to the trial version to the "pro" version.
You can disable in-app purchases from Settings->Store if you wish to disallow them in the future. Set appropriate restrictions within Settings to prevent someone else from re-enabling in-app purchases if needed.

When performing the new iPhone(IOS6) update I received an error message - iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. Will I lose everything if it goes back to factory settings. Right now my phone wont do anything. It is just showing a cable, an arrow and the iTunes logo.

If you restore from backup.
You should have made sure that everything was on your computer bef ore updating anyway. Did you fail to do that?
All pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc. Did you fail to do that?
