Yes. With a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and updates. You can create a new free apps-only iTunes account that is good for free app. You will still need a valid payment method to update any apps purchased with the other account.

OS X Mavericks is offered as a free download, why is apple asking for a credit card number?

Can someone tell me why apple is asking for a credit card number to download the Free OS X Mavericks?

Yes. This is what it says.
Resolution
You might not be able to see or select the None payment option for one of these reasons. If you don’t want to use a credit card, you can use another form of payment, such as a gift card.
If you have an unpaid balance or payment due
You can't select None as your payment type until you pay your balance. To see which order you need to pay for,view your purchase history on a Mac or PC. When you sign in to the store, you might see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
If you’re using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time
If you’re using the store for the first time with an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method. After you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
If you’re creating a new Apple ID, you might be able to create an account without entering your credit card details.
If you changed your country or region
When you change the country or region of an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing options. If you want to remove your payment method after you change the country or region, you canchange your payment information to None.
She hasn't changed countries nor regions, she's not using the either store for the first time, nor does she owe anything. She doesn't have a gift card. She's just a person without a credit card. She did have one, and now she doesn't.

HT5621 I created and apple id but want it to be a free apple id and it is asking for a credit card number. What should I do?

I am trying to create a free Apple ID for my sister that has a learning disability. I created the account but it is asking for a credit card for which she does not have. What should I do?

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

Cc keeps asking for new credit card number despite membership cancelled

I have tried different things to address the fact that CC is constantly sending message about my unprocessed payment (I have changed my credit card number) but I have cancelled my membership and they should not be concern with unprocessed payment. Could I talk to a real person? The steps indicated in the website is like a vicious circle bringing me back to this forum, no option for calling or chat. I have spent lots of time trying to cancel now this. Please help.

I have 12.80 left from a gift card, but when I go to buy something it ask for my credit card. How do I use up my balance?

If you have a balance, how do you spend the rest of it with out having to put in your credit card info?

Among other things iTunes uses your credit card to confirm that you are a resident of the same country as the store you are using. Occasionally it may ask for you to confirm the details and "prove" the card by putting on a holding charge which it later releases. If you have credit in the store that should be applied to any purchases first, even if iTunes asks you to confirm your details. Your listed credit in the window can become out of date if you use more than one computer or device to make purchases. Signing out of your account, then back in, should refresh the balance.

If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click “iTunes Store” in the left navigation pane. Click the “down arrow” next to your name at the top right side of the page and click “Account.” Enter your username and password and click “View Account” to log into your account information.

HT2731 15Jan13.....When setting up an account....it asks for a 'credit card' number and pertinent details. What if I don't have a credit card?? What to do???

15Jan13.....I have managed to setUP my account. Now what!!!
Can I proceed immediately to downLoad my own personal music from my computer into my iPod???
Much Obliged
pwm

Yes, you can sync your own music to your iPod via your computer's iTunes. If you have the music on your computer but not yet in your computer's iTunes then if it's in a compatible format then you should be able to add it via File > Add To Library - if it's not in a compatible format you will need to convert it first.
If your iPod is on iOS 3 then it sync to the iPod app, if it's on iOS 5+ then it will go into the Music app (in iOS 5 the iPod app was redesigned and renamed).

I have a itunescard but it also ask for a credit card but i dont have one but the itune card

I have A I tune card . But It Also Ask For A Credit Card Number Also. But I don't Have A credit Card

There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password. There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

Firefox do not open certain pages, it send me a form asking for my credit card, only on certain pages, like facebook, piratebay etc

When i write www.facebook.com, and press enter, it say that my account is blocket, and ask for my credit card number and all the data in credit car, name, address, etc. but I can login to facebook with IE and Chrome, when i tray to write the www.piratebay.se is the same problem, only in firefox.

It sounds as though you have some malware or prank software. It could be an add-on, or it might be external to Firefox.
Let's start here. Open the following page and disable ALL nonessential extensions. By nonessential, I mean you cannot use the internet without it.
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Then restart Firefox and test again. Any improvement?
I assume you run full-time security software. These two free tools are highly regarded for supplemental scans for anything your regular software might have missed:

HT5622 Do you have to have a credit card number to open and use free apps?

When I go to download a free app, I am asked for a credit card number. Is this just to have on file for future use just incase a purchase might be made in the future?

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
