Do u have to have a valid credit card to download the free stuff
No, there are instructions on this page for creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) without giving a credit number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it

I'm trying to purchase iTunes Match with my prepaid credit card. It's actually a one vanilla Visa card. It's not working is there anyway around not having to have a valid credit card.
Valid methods of payment vary from country to country. Which country?

Hello Sephilevi,
It sounds like you are unable to update any of your apps and dont have a credit card. You should be able to use this article to select your payment method as None in your iTunes account settings:
iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
This section in particular:
Change your payment information on a Mac or PC
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Please help me. I cannot do "in-app purchases" anymore without them needing extra payment verification when I already have money on my iTunes account. Why is this? I have tried everything in my settings to fix this too.
If you still have problem, contact iTune Support

Someone please help me I got my IPad off of craigslist but brand new in the box.
Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

Up to yesterday I was using my Apple ID on itunes and the app store. I have a valid credit card on file and $13.44USD store credit. Prior to 28th September 2012 I had $40.42USD store credit on my account. On the 28th September 2012, I subscribed to itunes match successfully. On the 30th September 2012 I purchased the video ' Take on Me ' for $1.99USD. Only yesterday the 1st October 2012, I used itunes match to update my music library. Today when I logged into my account there was NO $13.44USD showing up next to my Apple ID. And when I tried to download an app, I got a notification saying my Apple ID has been disabled. PLEASE HELP me. Apple disabled another ID sometime before that I have not been able to get reactivated. But I can't afford to lose this Apple ID because I use it ALL the time, plus I have itunes match with this Apple ID account. Please tell me what to do. How can I contact Apple directly???
<Emails Edited By Host>If changing your password does not solve then contact itunes support.

Why do we need a valid credit card in order to publish books?
I'm 15, and I don't have a credit card, yet I want to publish a book for free (of course) onto iBooks from iBooks Author and so I tried to create a free account, and it says I can't do it because I don't have a valid credit card. There's no way my parents would put a credit card onto my account permanently, because they're afraid of their data getting stolen... Since I'm just going to publish books for free, I just don't see why I need a credit card.
Apple have a set of requirements and in your situation... you cannot meet their banking and credit card requirements. At 15 you should be aware that where money is concerned those who have it and want more... protect the methods of control!
The next thing you need to deal with is that, basically the CC requirement as nothing whatever to do with a free iBooks account.
The credit card is more about making purchases from the various Apple online stores such as iBooks, iTunes (download music) apps and in app purchases and local high street stores for devices and accessories.
Apple do not have any options which do not include banking details and credit cards and care little about the problems of youth and lack of credit cards. Its a case of our club - our rules.. comply or go away!
So lets look at other options, you can distribute any eBooks created using iBA software, however you wish - providing no payments in cash or kind are recieved. You can of course take a chance and replace Samsung as Apples litigation target!
The easy way is upload an iBooks file into Dropbox and email links to fans, friends and family.
OR
Your parents could open an account and allow you to act as publisher for them! Ditto a friend with a CC.
But if your own parents would not trust you with their credit cards the above will not be suitable.
If its a book which is school or peer reralated, maybe your school have a server and would allow you to use it to allow other students to download your books.... extend that thought to approaching other schools locally or statewide.... -
ITunes won't recognize valid credit card in PayPal
When I try to add PayPal as my method of payment in iTunes, the PayPal Authentication page says, "Error Detected: This recipient requires that you have a valid funding source from United States in order to complete this transaction." I do have a valid credit card in PayPal. I've e-mailed both PayPal and iTunes several times and have received no helpful answers (canned responses only). Has anyone else had this problem?
I have e-mailed iTunes support more than 15 times in the last 2 months and they have not investigated this problem. Two of their responses asked me to reply with a phone number and time I can be reached, and I heard nothing by phone or e-mail after responding with that info.
My credit card in PayPal has a United States bank address and PayPal verified that it is valid.
I haven't found any workaround and am disgusted with iTunes web-based support. I don't believe a person is reading my issue; the support e-mails appear automated - with human touches - to respond to key words in my question but don't answer the unique nature of this issue.
Has anyone else received viable assistance from iTunes web-based support? -

Now I'm screwed cuz I don't have a valid CC to use and I can't do a **** thing until iTunes or AppStore gets me to enter a valid CC... Problem is I could just create a new account but I have about $100 loaded onto this account I'm currently using... Is there anything I can do at this point? Besides go spend money on a prepaid credit card which I don't have money for and enter that info in??? Please help!! I can't even download FREE apps right now or ANYTHING basically cuz of this **** gift thing I was trying to send! This is what I get for being nice I guess! I figured since I had close to $100 in my iTunes/AppStore account it would take the money for the gift from that but noooooo it tried to use the credit card I had on file!! Ugh
You can't use your account's balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card - your balance can only be used to buy content for yourself. Until you pay what you owe iTunes then you won't be able to download any items from the store on that account.
If you haven't got a valid credit card then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can cancel the gift or take what you owe them from your balance: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
