Itunes credit card trouble.

keeps asking for a credit card when trying to download a free app, how do I get around this without giving a credit card or having to create a new account?

Hello
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
You can see the payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts in the Payment Type section. If you want to remove the payment method, select None in the Payment Type section. See what to do if None isn't showing or you can't select it.
Have a nice day,
Mario

  • I have itunes credit card and scrached off the # and cant see it how do i redeem now?

    I have a itunes credit card I scrached the # off and cant see it how do I redeem it now?

    On the bottom of your card, UNDER the barcode, you will se a long number. That is the card serial number.
    Go to apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html to email the iTunes store support.
    Tell them that the redemption code was scratched off, and give them the card serial number. Someone from the iTunes Store will email you back with the cards redemption code.

  • Apple/iTunes credit card and Apple Pay

    I have changed my Apple/iTunes credit card and now I am unable to enter that card into Apple Pay. I don't get the prompt at the beginning of the entering process to enter the Apple Store credit card as I did before I changed the card.

    I Think that the reason so many of us are asking is that it did offer to add the card that was used in iTunes even though it was not supported. When I first setup Apple Pay it asked me if I wanted to use my card associated with iTunes. My card was an unsupported GM Master Card. I chose instead to add my supported Chase debit card. I could never get it to ask me again. And I cannot add the GM card through passbook.
    It to may not have completed adding the iTunes card if I had chosen it first, but sure acted like it might had I chosen it first. I think that is why so many of us were asking.

  • How to unlink iTunes credit card info from apple id info

    I put my credit card as my mom's payment for her itunes. However this changed her Apple ID to my name and address. When I changed the Apple ID info, it changed the credit card info
    They should not be linked because that means the Apple ID is linked to a credit card of a different Apple ID user.
    This is clearly an inbedded problem because it happens continuously immediately.

    I tried to enter it as "none" but it didnt work. It keeps saying i need a card number and all that. But then, i clicked "same as shipping information" and just entered my name and all the adress stuff, put my credit card number as 0 and my security code as 0, put in a random date and clicked save.
    -Just a tip for anyone else who couldnt figure it out like me

  • Repeated itunes credit card fraud attempts

    Due to ongoing credit card fraud issues with the itunes store, I'd  like to remove my credit card from the account and strictly use itunes gift cards.
    Is this possible?

    I tunes surely have the IP addresses of these people
    Actually no, they almost certainly don't. I very much doubt that Apple does, or even can in any practical way, track and log the IP address for every transaction. Even if they did:
    and can give this to the police,
    the police would have to request the information. Whether they have I can't say, but depending on UK privacy laws it might take a court order before Apple could release any information about users. And even then, the police would have to go to extensive lengths to try and find the culprit; first tracking down which ISP manages that particular IP address to find out any location from an IP address. And then working with the ISP (again perhaps requiring a court order) to identify where that IP address is. And that would be assuming that the location wasn't just some Internet cafe or other anonymous location as is most likely.
    While I understand your frustration, it's just not realistic to expect the police to take that much time away from more serious crimes to go to all the effort of tracking down what is probably a minor (relatively speaking; I'm sure it's not minor to you) crime. Sorry, but your best, and perhaps only, recourse is to work through the fraud department of your credit card issuer and hope that they will indeed label the purchase as fraud and reverse the charge to your card.
    Good luck.

  • Itunes credit card ban

    I have been using the came credit card with iTunes for 3-4 years.
    All of a sudden I was being asked to verify the payment method.  I thought it was because I got a new iPhone5 this weekend and it needed the verification because the account was being accessed by a new device.
    I was only asked for the CCV number.  It would not accept it and replied that the card was no longer allowed to be used on iTunes.
    I tried online on my PC.  Same issue and same response.  [Checked with my bank and was told there were no 'issues' with the card.]
    I called iTunes customer support.  Told the card was "banned" from use on iTunes.  Asked repeatedly 'why?'  iTunes customer support refused to say anything other than the card was banned.  They suggested that I simply enter a new credit card for iTunes.  But, I wanted to know why the card was banned.   No luck.
    I specifically asked if there was fraudulent activity.  No response other than the card is 'banned' and a solution was to simply enter a new credit card.
    Reviewed my iTunes account.  No fraudulent activity.
    Decided to review my bank account.  I found nearly a dozen fraudulent charges in the amount of $20 and $10 using the card on iTunes.
    I called back and was transferred to the iTunes fraud department.  That rep immediatly confirmed that the card was banned because of fraudulent activity that was discovered by Apple earlier in the month.  Becasue the fraud was used to purchase gift cards, Apple could not issue a refund; the request had to come from the bank disputing the charges.  The charges have been disputed.  Waiting for the refund.
    WARNING:  Apple discovered the fraud but did NOT contact me or my bank.  The matter is even made worse by the fact that the iTunes rep did not tell me why the card was banned and simply asked for a new card on my iTunes account.  Had I done that I might not have completed the research on my end and might not have found the fraud.  Unconsciounable.

    If my bank uncovers fraud, I would expect them to contact me.  But, if Apple discovers fraud, I would, likewise, expect them to contact me.
    Bank had no idea about the fraudulent charges.  Neither did I.  Granted it was my fault for not reconciling my bank account and seeing the fraudulent activity. 
    Apple discovered the fraud and probably did some sort of internal investigation.  I have no idea how long Apple knew, but 14 days ago Apple 'banned' the credit card.  They made no attempt to contact me to at least inform me that the credit card associated with my Apple ID was banned.  Right, I agree that they should make sure I am who I am and not the perpetrator; they have information on me (including my contact information).  They only asked me for my Apple ID and Password.  But they choose not to say anything, not to attempt to verify my identity, etc.
    I will be happy to go to their feedback site.  But that site is closed and the feedback is not available to Apple customers.  I posted here to be of assistance to other Apple iTunes customers who find themselves in a similar situation.

  • ITunes credit card problem, HELP!

    After I enter all my credit card information correctly as it is on the card, I click done but then it tells me to enter a valid security code for my card. Which i already did, and it is correct for that card.
    Why does it keep doing this?
    What can I do to fix it?

    I have the same problem. My Credit Card/Debit Card company told me that there were sufficient funds ($20.00) to cover the cost of my purchase ($19.98), but ITunes tried to clear $20.25 to see if the account was good enough for ITunes to deal with. I refuse to use another card and over 24 hours ago, wrote to ITunes asking that they solve this silly problem by having them bill my credit card for the correct amount of $19.98 and NOT $20.25. Until then, they will not get paid, and I will not purchase anything further from them, due to a screw up that ITunes has themselves created. I am upset that I have to write e-mails to them and that I do not have the option to contact someone by phone, especially now that it is over 24 hrs since I wrote them per their rules.

  • Providing itunes credit card info

    Is there any way to get around adding credit card info when changing/adding appleid ?  I do not purchase music/videos, etc. from my phone.

    It is never necessary to change your payment information when changing your Apple ID, except (perhaps) if there is an already a problem with your existing payment method.
    To change your Apple ID: On a computer, go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your Apple ID and password, then select "Name, Apple ID and Email Addresses", then click Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address". Make sure it is a valid email address that conforms to the listed criteria that appear. At some point you may need to verify your existing security questions.
    If you want to create a new Apple ID without a credit card, you can do that too:
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Step 3 is important, no matter whether you do this on a Mac or an iPad / iPhone:

    To summarize, you must first download a free app from the App Store. When you are asked to sign in with your Apple ID, select "Create new account". Accept the terms and conditions checkbox, then click Continue. After you enter all the requested personal data, click Continue.
    When you are asked to select a payment method, select "None". 

  • ITunes credit vs iTunes credit card

    I Have iTunes sharing enabled and it requires a credit card. I have given my wife access using the parent/guardian option. However, she has $20 in iTunes credit to use and when she try's to buy a song, it requires the security code from the back of the credit card. We don't want to use the credit card, we want to use the money that's loaded in her account. How can we do that with the new updates?

    Go to the main iTunes store screen.
    At the top right under Quick Links, click Redeem.
    Input the gift certificate number then click Create new account.
