My Apple ID will not download free apps without entering a credit card.

When I try to download, it says the ID has not yet been used in iTunes and to review my account. When I do, it requires a credit card. There is no 'None' option for payment. I've searched the message boards and cannot figure out how to get past this. I should not have to enter a credit card until I want to buy something. I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

The only way to have the "None option is to buy a free app then choose create appleid. Setting up any other way will not have none option. You will need card to continue. You can remove it afterwards in itunes on the computer.
Itunes>itunes store (on left)>Account (on right)>edit payment info - Set to none.

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.)
Regards.

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. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.

There are instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - i.e. select a free app an create an account when 'buying' it (this only works for new accounts, not for updating an existing account)

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

HT4854 Mountain Lion will not download. App just says "download" on purchase button, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Mountain Lion will not download. App just says "download" on purchase button, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

My download took many many hours. Not sure if that is because of our ISP or load on the network. I also thought nothing was happening for my download. Try this:
Open App Store,
click on Purchased
You'll see Mountain Lion being downloaded and it will show the progress and estimated time to complete.
Take deep breaths and be patient.

Try and closing the app (app store in this case) and switch it back on and then download. If it still doesn't work, then give the IPad a rest and try again later.

Can I download free apps without a credit card information?

Hi! I have recently created an Apple ID. I want to download a free app in the iTunes Store, but it forces me to enter a credit card information, and I don't have a credit card right now. I've seen iPhones were there's an option were it says "none" instead of giving a credit card information, but I can't see that option on my computer. Is that option available from a computer? Or am I obliged to have a credit card?

TS1702 I am using iTunes and it WILL NOT DOWNLAOD ANY APPS WITHOUT GIVING ERROR MESSAGES

The apps download just fine on my iphone 4's and my ipad, but iTunes WILL NOT download ANY APP. I have tried completely uninstalling itunes and then redownloading it and trying again, I have deleted the apps from my devices and then tried, I have tried syncing with devices connected by wire and then also tried wireless sync over icloud.
NOTHING IS WORKING, it tries to downlaod the apps (all apps makes no difference paid or free, or which app it is). The status bar gets all the way to the ned and then it starts over again, doing this repeatedly, and then after the multiple times it will show an error message saying it cannot downlaod.
I have 20Mbps speed internet, my wife's itunes has no difficulties.
the icloud account is under my account
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Using most recent iTunes x64 for Windows 7 machine)
FYI Also MY QUICKTIME WILL NOT DOWNLAOD AT ALL
VERY FRUSTRATED WITH APPLE SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW

Try downloading the songs from a different device. If you are doing it from your iOS device, try form your computer.

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
