Unable to download free apps in Itunes

I was unable to purchase paid apps and was getting the message that "your transaction was declined" and today I am even not being able to download free apps/games from the itunes store. Whenever I click a free app I am being taken to the billing info page and I get the same old message.
I was able to download free apps until today. Please help.

To purchase apps, even free apps you need a valid payment method. It appears that you do not have a valid payment method associated with your account. You need to add one.

HT204266 unable to download any app or itunes content to ipad 2? HELP!!!

unable to download any app or itunes content to ipad 2? HELP!!!

I assume that this started after the update and you were able to download before. Start with some basic troubleshooting.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Power cycle your router, unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

How do you download free apps on itunes without hidden charges

how do you download free apps in itunes library without hidden charges being applyed

Apps that are listed in the app store as free will be free to download (if you have a credit card on your iTunes account then you may get a temporary holding charge on it which should disappear within a few days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702). If you don't want to be able to buy any 'extras' within any app after you've downloaded it then turn off In-App Purchases on your devices - on an iPad it's under Settings > General > Restrictions, and I assume it's similar for other devices.

HT5622 My card declined and now I unable to download free apps, it keeps on asking for card payment is the anything I can do

My card declined and now I am unable to download free apps it keeps on asking for payment, how do I fix it

Go to this Apple Support page:

Sign in to your Apple ID and correct the problems with your credit card.
An approved form of payment is required in your account even though the apps are free.

I was unable to download free apps because I don't have credit card or visa

I went to apps store and try to download free application on my iPod touch (4th generation). Then when I sign in, I have missing information like the payment mode, even though its free appliction and I dont have even Credit Card or Visa to finish filling it up. So thats why I cannot download free application.. HELP ME ASAP.

Have you created the account? If yes, the following procedures cant be applied. You have to open a new account for this to work!
In your PC:
1.Open iTunes and navigate to App Store!
2. Sign-out of Apple ID.
3. Upon seeing a free app, you'll notice that a button named FREE is displayed beneath so when you click it, it downloads automatically.
4. Click it, now a dialog box opens up asking you to provice your Apple login details, in that box you'll notice the option named CREATE AN ACCOUNT, click it and create a new ID.
5. On the payment page, there will be an optin named NONE, select it and complete the registration.
Its done.

My iphone 3 won't let me download free apps from itunes

Every time I try it makes me verify my payment info, and then it tells me my session has timed out. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

That's how it works. You put it in and it's saved but not displayed when you go back. I think it's another security layer. Do you have this problem from iTunes on your computer? If so, I would contact iTunes support... https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?PRKEYS=PF4
Also, make sure your billing address is exactly correct, i.e. the same as on your CC statement.

ITunes Truly Epitomizes Definition of Insanity since can't download free apps due to Technical Difficulties and iTunes says to try again later and get same results

iTunes truly epitmizes the Definition of Insanity.   I can't even download free apps. iTunes says they are having technical difficulties. What an understatement. iTunes makes everyone go crazy by saying to try again later. When we try again, same result.

Ha!
I've been saying that iTunes is a "@#8*!^8 crazy *#!" ever since I reinstalled it, LOL!
I had that thing, just about *duct-taped and stuffed between the attic rafters* for the past 3 years,
and never missed it.
Then...well...I told my husband, that I must've incurred an Aneurysm during sleep...because for some reason, the %*@$! has now reappeared, and is just as OCD and Hyper, as it was when I had it
*locked up*!
But my husband keeps swearing that I re-downloaded it, because I missed hearing my favorite
pod-shows.
Anyhoo...since, I've re-inflated it, I've only used it for 1/2 an evening, before I gave a yell, and pulled the plug on it, yet again!
A.n.y.t.i.m.e I tried to do ANYTHING, that crazy &#tc+ was right there...and I swear that I could hear a hyper never-pausing-for-breath 'voice', which seemed to shrill:
                    "Can I do it, huh, huh? Can I open, huh? huh? I wanna do it, I wanna I wanna!!
                     "Prrlleaaase! I just wanna open it!! You know I can! So can I, huh huh!!"
So it's *locked-up under my porch crawl space* until....well....until... (0;
I actually just came on here to say that, during the 3 or so hours that I attempted to reason with that Demento, I was never able to access the iTunes Store, either.
                         "I can't access the iTunes Store.
                          It must be busy, so I'll try again later."
And while it was trying to convince of that, I managed to get in and out of the iTunes Store, about 3 separate times...and had managed to listen and download about 5 or so pods...but it just kept repeating that same line.
Like its dose of Lithium had worn off, and now it was just about ready to show me its
*Alvin the Chipmunk Alter-Persona*...
But it never got the chance.
I haven't heard a peep out if since, LOL!
I figure there's enough to keep me occupied on here...so if doesn't behave itself soon....
Yeah...you KNOW what I'm talkin' bout, LOL!
Well, I gots to go now, but you have yourself, a fabulous weekend!

Unable to "purchase" or download free APP updates

I am trying to download free App updates on my iphone but it says unable to purchase try again later. so i waited a couple days, and it still wont work. and itunes wont update them either. I have the 2.2 software ive tryed to restart it i cant figure it out. anyone know what the problemo is?
thanks

I had the same problem. I just fixed it. There are several posts on many forums addressing the "5002" error that date back to the IT8 roll out. My solution started with the post linked below.
http://gosublogger.com/2009/01/how-to-fix-itunes-error-5002/comment-page-1/#comm ent-5330
After trying the suggested fix I posted the following:
Thank you for posting this work around. My iPhone 3G has been unable to update apps as well as iTunes 8 running on my MBPro. I followed your instructions to the letter, but still have the same symptoms with “5002″ error. Next I backed up my Mobile Apps folder again (after the reinstall (I kept the original backup as well)), deleted all, and synced with my iPhone 3G. At this point only the apps from my phone are in the iTunes Mobile Apps. folder. No success. I still get the “5002″error in iTunes, and “unable to purchase” when updating apps using iPhone.
Any suggestions?
UPDATE:
After an extensive Error “5002″ Google search, I discovered the post linked below.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1716575
I logged onto my iTunes account, and discovered that there was now a blank Credit Card security/CCV field next to the CC number field. Also there was a weird message in red stating that my address did not seem to be traditional for my area, and required editing or some such nonsense. I deleted a few characters in the address field, re-typed them exactly as they were, filled in my CC CCV code, and clicked done. All problems fixed!
I hope this helps..

My itunes want let me download free apps its talking about my billing information!

My itunes want let me download free apps its talking about my billing information why?

Hello Deangelo,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you do not want to add a credit card to your Apple ID.
I suggest updating your billing information to "None" using the steps in the section titled "Change your payment information on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in the following article:
iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you are not seeing the "None" option when updating your billing information, I recommend the following article:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How to Get Apps From the App Store Without a Credit Card

Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

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.
