Need a credit card to add child account. Not a ATM VISA?

Apple says I need to submit a credit card not just a ATM Visa. Why is this? Could it be that it is harder to cancel and dispute the fraud which apple is pushing. I sure wish I had a business plan that first took adults to the cleaner now they are attracting our children with so called parent account. No kids don't need parents permission. And when you try and set your card back to none. You get a support Tech telling you that it to keep people from not paying their bills. I said where is the PCI standards where you don't charge an account without authorization. I was told apple does not need to be compliant with the credit card industry.

This is because congress wrote the law in such a way as to make a debit card invalid as a mechanism to legally sign to permit a minor to access on-line services.
As ed2345 states, it's a legal requirement. Apple has no real choice in the matter. If this creates a problem for you, contact your congressman.

Do I need a credit card for my apple account

I have to update my apps and it's not letting me because I need a credit card is there a way to update my apps without a credit card?

Hi Desimoni77,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You should not need to add a credit card to your iTunes Store account to update apps or download free apps. You may want to review your iTunes Store account information using the steps in this article:
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
You can also contact iTunes Store Support for more help:
If you need help changing your payment information, credit card details, or billing information, contact iTunes Store support. Or you may find the answer to your question below:
If you change your payment method, make sure your account information matches the credit card information on file with your financial institution.
If you use an AOL screen name to sign in to the iTunes Store, editing your information on the Account Information page won't update your AOL account. If you need to update your AOL account information, contact AOL.
If your previous payment wasn't accepted, you may need to change your payment information.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

You need either a credit card, an iTunes Music card, an iTunes Music Store gift certificate, or a free song code from one of the many promotions from various companies.

Why Do I Need a Credit Card to Show Artwork from CD's That I Own Legally?

In Windows Media Player the album artwork shows up right away, but with itunes they tell me I need and account, and that account needs a credit card, why? I do not plan to buy anything from apple as I merely want to use what I own legally, I want the artwork from my CD'S to show up on itunes and on my ipod and do not think that my credit card needs to be part of that simple request. Please advise?

Artwork is only available for albums that are for sale in the iTunes Store. If Exile on Main Street is not something that iTunes sell, you'll have to find your artwork elsewhere. As Roger said, Amazon is usually a good place to start looking. Also, a Google Image search may find what you're looking for.
I believe that the Command - I equivalent on a Windows machine is Control-I. However, if you right click on the song, Get Info should also be one of the options. It's also an option from the File Menu, I believe. Poke around, use the Help function (which has a list of keyboard shortcuts, by the way), you'll find it.
Only Apple would know why they need or what certain information. Generally, it's pretty easy to dummy a phone number if the field is required and you don't wish to give out that information. I find all 7s works fairly well.

How can I top up my childs icloud storage if he hasn't a credit card linked to his account?

I need to upgrade my childs icloud storage to a larger amount, because they use it for school work, but he hasn't got a credit card linked to his account. I have a separate apple ID & itunes account linked to my credit card, & gifted him some money by a virtual itunes card, but of course he can't use it. How can I increase his storage, please?
Thanks, Andy

To set it up as POP you need to delete the account, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds), then add it back following these instructions: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account
I understand that you have used the same account for many years, but the technology is also changing constantly. Years ago the standard was POP (Post Office Protocol), which was designed at a time when it was inconceivable that anyone would access their email from more than one device. When people started using multiple devices, for the most part they wanted to see changes on one device mirrored on another. A new standard, IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) was developed. With iMAP the master copy of all messages resides on a server, and multiple devices are kept in sync with the server. So if you delete a message from one device it is removed from the server, and then removed from all other devices when they next sync. This is the same way Microsoft Exchange works. Other benefits of IMAP include the ability to have multiple mail folders that are kept in sync across devices. In your case you could use this to create a separate folder for each family member, so they could move messages to their own folder and not clutter up the shared Inbox. Most computer mail readers can even automatically sort incoming mail into folders based on the contents of the message.
IMAP is considered a "higher level" standard than POP. When you create a mail account iOS devices query the server and ask what it supports; if it says it supports IMAP then the account is automatically configured for IMAP. So if you really want POP you must fool it, as described in the link above. In my experience Android devices default to the highest level protocol also, and I suspect newer Blackberries do (although it has been 15 years since I used a BB).

Hi, Ajchenicholas.
Credit cards attached to an Apple ID can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance. The article below will walk you through this process.

Hi there, I recently got my emails (rescue and primary) compromised and had to make a new account. How do I get my credit card off the old account and add it to the new account?

I recently got hacked and I had my primary email password different from the password for the email. Now, I tried to change my primary email on the old account and it seemed to work, until I tried to sign in again and it didn't. I made a new Apple ID and it won't let me get past the option of not having to put in my credit card, now I had messaged Apple Support team and they said they put a hold on my card for if any unauthorized purchases be made it wouldn't be from me.
So now I go and ask them to simply remove my credit card from the old account so I can put it into my new one and they say you need to contact the Apple Security Team, they provide a number which doesn't work because I live in Lebanon, and there is no number in another country to get a hold of someone to talk to. OK, now they're not replying back to my emails because I need to talk to someone who is from the Apple Security Team.
I really just want this done and need help because it's been a month since this has happened, and I can't rescue my emails at all because the hacker changed the passwords to both accounts. If anyone can please help, I'm really really frustrated about this and to think they'd be very concerned about there 'valued' customer.
Thanks again,
Lydia101

It was O2 he was on. I don't know if it was unlocked. How do I check? And also how would I get it unlocked?

I have $8.05 balance on my gift card. I tried to buy an app more expensive than that so i had to add my credit card to the apple account. But I couldn't use the balance from the gift card anymore. How can I select to use it? or did I lose it?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The MAS should use any credits first and then apply the remainder to a listed bank card.

The credit card info on the account has changed but for some reason there is no option for me to make the changes. In addition, cloud has stopped working and all other programs that need to be updated cannot be.

What do you mean by "declining you"? In this discussions case, it was possible the user was using a debit card https://discussions.apple.com/message/22737457#22737457. If this is what you are experiencing, this may solve your problem.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The payment methods that are available in your country will show on your account. If debit cards aren't available on that screen then you won't be able to use it as your payment method.

TS1646 I need to delete either my Itunes account or delete the credit card information because my account has been hacked.

You can't delete an account, and all of the account's downloads will remain tied to the account.
On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

HT2589 the first time you create account, always need a credit card? the option of "NONE" is hidden

my friend cant download apps, because of that reason.

No you don't always need to enter credit card details, it just depends upon how you create the account - unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then you will need to entercredit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you don't have or don't want to enter credit card details then you will need to create a new account, and this time use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
