ITunes asking for credit?
My friend came to my house a while ago and signed into his account and authorized his iPod with my computer. That went fine but when I went to sign back in it says my account has not been used with iTunes. Then it goes to ask me for a credit card. I have some gift card money on my account and I want to use it. Thanks for the help.
This same thing happend to me, you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16, because if you dont own a credit card, you shouldnt be over this age, so basictly when you chose your birthday, do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options, but if you want to buy something, you will have to do the credit card stuff, OR you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store, So this is how i fixed my problum, i hope it works for you, write back your responce of how it worked out please!

This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
Please, can anyone help...?!?
Sincerely,
"Distressed"If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

I have created an apple id on my pc but when i'm trying to download free apps from itunes store it's asking for credit card information which i don't have, that's why i went through apple support there i found "if you don't have credit card then click on none option but the problem is there isn't any none option so plzzzz some help me?
If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

II have just put a $25 credit on my itunes acct. I previously had my credit card charged now it doesn't acknowledge my $25 credit only asks for credit card info. Is there something I have to do to charge my gift card?
How much is the cost of what you wish to buy? The credit is used first and credit card info wouldbe requested for any outstanding balance. The US store prices do not reflect the local sales taxes that are added in the final steps of the purchase transaction.

The only way to get free apps without a bank card is to create a new Apple ID following Apple's steps very carefully;

I cant sign to itunes with my apple ID it is asking for Credit Card
i cant sign to itunes with my apple ID it is asking for Credit Card
Hello hausandhaus,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
As your Apple ID wasn't initially set up without a payment method, you will need to enter some sort of payment method when signing in. You are able to change that to none however afterwards.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

Why is my iTunes asking for me to confirm password for an ID that's not mine?
Hi guys,
First timer here! A pretty weird but potentiallly serious issue here...
Firstly, this is not for me but to help a colleague. He left his MacBook Pro in a taxi a few weeks ago and it's since been lost, we tried using 'Find my Mac' through iCloud but it hasn't worked, I presume because the machine hasn't gone online on that user account, as it was password protected?
He's since bought himself a NEW MacBook Pro and started using it afresh, not restoring from any backup or anything (as unfortunately his TimeMachine backup was corrupted!).
Now, when using iTunes, he's being asked to 'confirm his details' of his Apple ID, however, it's showing a completely random email address - not his and not anyone he knows. Noone has owned either MacBook that he's used before him so that's not the issue, and he's only ever used his own personal Apple ID.
My question is:
1 - how is this possible? How can iTunes ask for confirmation of details to an iTunes ID / account that has NOTHING to do with that Mac?
2 - is it possible that this strange Apple ID that the machine is asking to be confirmed is of someone that may have the old MacBook Pro?
Thanks - appreciate the help!
AlexI only know a little about this subject.
What OS version was the lost Mac running? "Find My Mac" is only a feature with Lion, and of course had to be activated.
I don't know about newer MacOS but on older versions it was a relatively simple manner to bypass the system level password feature if you had actual physical possession of a computer. There were several different levels on which you could enable passwords, including the stronger firmware or EFI password which I believe required re-setting at an Apple repair center.
Don't forget that once you have physical possession of a computer you can do all kinds of things such as swapping out drives and using his drive in another computer, simply wiping the old one. I don't know how AppleID works but presumably it has some way of detecting specific hardware identity in order to use authorization for things such as movies. I don't know how this would get tied up in what you have observed.
Your friend should probably re-set passwords on any accounts that use them and monitor his/her credit card. -

When attempting to perform updates on my iphone, it asks for credit card information. I give them the information directly from the card but then it tells me that the security code is invalid. I have rechecked the information several times which also includes reentering the card info and still it says its wrong. What do I do?

I am trying to set up an iTunes account without a credit card. However when I get to the screen that asks for credit card information, 'none' is not an option. According to the instructions on the website, that should be an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the response,
Yes, I followed the instructions to the letter. But it asks for credit information anyway and 'none' is supposed to be an option when setting up an account 'with no credit card'.
I have two new iphones, the first one set up as expected, where 'none' was an option. Now that I'm attempting to set up the second with different information, there is no 'none', only Mastercard,Visa, AmerX, Discover and Paypal.
