IPad won't download free apps

I have just bought a new iPad and followed the instruction to set it up to the letter. When I try o download free apps it asks for my password continuously over and over again. If it doesn't ask me for my password it asks to increase my security by adding three questions, and then asks for my password continuously again. What am I doing wrong.?

seen this happen a couple of times. sign out and in of the store, reset the phone, after that call apple for further investgation

  • How to remove credit card details from iPad 4. So I can download free apps from apps store??

    Please someone tell me how to remove credit card details from iPad 4, so I download free apps from App Store??

    None for payment
    After establishing the Credit Card account, you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".
    Note: You won't find "None" if you have not purchase anything with the Credit Card.

    Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
    otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
    Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
    One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
    Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

  • HT5858 Why does my iPad and iPhone ask for verification when downloading free apps

    What does my iPad ask for verification when trying to download free app from App Store

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • First of all thank you so much for the answer solution to my having to place card information to download free app games on the App Store which I never had to so many times during my restoring even to brand new my practically brand new iPad with retina d.

    First of all thank you all for the kind help and to apple for all the support in these times of wonder for me. Anyways I tried the suggested solution and again reaching the review prompt and opting create new Apple ID doesn't take me to the option none on a card information or any billing account I am not meaning to sign in for. I'm just meaning to download free apps which I have done so many times now, I mean 3x. But still, the first time I had so much downloaded and I didn't have this problem. Please could someone help me? Or will I need to reset my content and settings again? This would be my 4 or 5th time to need to do so. If so, is it better I get my iPad with retina display replaced? Not wait for it's value and brand new value to it go low. I got it for an x'mas gift just this January 19 ,2013 from family and if it's better I avail of the free shipping and handling on apple's returns and exchange, then I will do so. Thank you so much again everyone.

  • HT5622 I am trying to download FREE apps for my Ipad Mini however iOS is constantly asking me to verify my Bank Card details and not proceeding to download the app despite being free. Any help please ?

    It just could be this;
    Bank card authorization holds -

    If you can you can choose the None option and only put the card info in when you want to buy something. It also makes your account less suceptable to hackers as there is nothing that they can use to buy anything.

  • Can I download free apps to my iPad without putting in a credit a card??

    Can I download free apps to my iPad without putting in a credit a card??

    I think that the trick to this is that you have to try to download a free app in order to get the iTunes store to ask you to create the account.
    Copied from the kb article above .....
    Creating an account on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    If you already have an account, choose Settings > Store. Tap the Apple ID displayed and choose Sign Out.
    Open the App Store on your device.
    Find a free application on the App Store.
    Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install the free application by tappingFree followed by tapping Install.

  • Why won't my free apps open, they only work when I download another one why is that

    When I download free apps they work but then when I turn my iPad off and come to use the free apps again they don't open unless I download another app how can I get them to always work?

    According to the website....
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    Why you are continuing to see this behavior, I can't explain. Try signing out of your ID, restart the iPad and sign in again.
    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in

  • IPad won't download apps or update them

    If I bring my iPad to the store where I got it would they be able to answer my question or can you .my iPad won't download apps or update them from the AppStore  when I download an app it just says waiting under it but never downloads the same happens when I update them a and my wifi bars are always high ?I do hope you can help!

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • HT1495 I work at a school. I have setup up Ipads for student use. I do not want them to have password because in the past, they have added emails to the account. I want them to be able to create an itune account on ipad so they can download free apps

    I need student to be able to download free apps on ipad without compromising the account that I have created. In the past students added usernames and emails to the account when they forgot the password. I do not want them to have password so I need them to creat their own accounts to use besides the school account created. Can this be done on ipad?

    Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
    I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
    I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
    Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
    *Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]
