Want to access App Store, it asks for my billing info for free installs. Is that authentic

I have had to get a new debit card with a new number and a new security number on the back. I can't remember my security number from my old card.  Any suggestions on how to update billing info when I'm in the App Store. 

You need to use a credit card.

Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

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.

  • App store keeps asking to verify billing info

    App store problem

    Have you verified billing information, as directed?
    If you get a message that the card was declined it means that the issuer of the credit or debit card you have on file in your iTunes account rejected a charge or account confirmation. It is not an Apple problem; Apple is just passing through the message from your issuer. There are a number of reasons the charge or verification might be declined:
    Insufficient balance or account in arrears
    Account suspended for suspected fraud (not necessarily by you)
    Error in card number
    Wrong expiration date
    Wrong CCV code
    Address in your iTunes account does not match exactly the billing address for the card
    The card was not issued in the country of the iTunes store

  • Why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • App store still asks for a verification

    If you dont have any other devices which you use your Apple-ID with (like an iPad, iPod, Mac etc) this will solve your issue (I've been there too):
    If you have iOS 6:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store by taping the email adress at the top and choose Sign out.
    2) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    3) Sign back in again with your new email adress.
    If you have iOS 7:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    2) Change your email adress back to the old email adress on your Apple-ID
    3) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    4) Change your email for you Apple ID back to the new email adress you want to have.
    5) Sign back in from Settings > iCloud.
    If you're promted for password to your old Apple ID when you update apps you need to follow the steps above and then restart your iPhone.

    Have you tried turning your phone completely off and then back on?  After trying that you might want to Reset your phone by depressing the Sleep Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 15 Seconds.  Then try your App Download again.  If those efforts don't work there are additional threads about various App Download issues you will want to review.

  • Under settings my phone has my apple id logged in, when I go to update on the app store it asks for a friends apple id, how do i fix this?

    Under settings my phone has my apple id logged in, when I go to update on the app store it asks for a friends apple id, how do i fix this?

    The app must have been purchased using your friends account.  This means that the app belongs to your friend.
    You need to buy your own copy.

  • I changed my apple id, but in apps store when asked for password,  original apple id appears so password doesn't work wit it.  Now can't buy apps.

    I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work.  How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

    f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

    Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

    If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

  • App store keeps asking for my credit card info for free apps!??

    Every time I go to get a free app, I keep getting asked for my credit card info to be updated. If it's free, why is my credit card info needed!?? I don't want to get charged, so I cancel out of the credit card request, it's not worth trying to get unwanted charges taken off. I would write to Apple but for some strange reason they refuse to use email for help. So, guess I will just try here.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hello All,
    Even I do faced same issue on my iphone 5 recently, because I had updated my credit card details while purchasing 'whats app'. Later on if I try do down load free apps, it started asking me verify payment info..I got frustrated and tried to remove apple id and create the same id and reset networksettings, but issue not resolved.!!
    Possible scenarios of it occures:
    1. While creating your apple id you might have given credit card info an dlater that got modified/expired
    2. Once you buy anything by using credit card that info will be updated to your apple id, so it asks every time
    Resolution:
    Just remove your credit card details from payment information
    setting > icloud > account > payment information -- remove ur credit card info , done done
    Then try to download free app, it will only asks for apple password, It will not ask for 'payment verification'
    Thank you
    Krish

  • Why app store is asking to vertify payment info for free products?

    Why app store is asking to vertify payment method even for free products? And after that I still can not download any free products from the store.

    Verifying payment method validates your Apple ID.  You need to do this even if the charge is zero.  Can't get around it.

  • My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

    my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

    What sort of card are you trying to use ?
    If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • App store keeps asking for old owner's password when I try to download updates, even though I am logged into my Apple account. It won't allow me to change ID to mine.

    I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu).  How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?

    It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
    As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
    At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

  • I need to switch the apple ID the app store is asking for, but it is grey and I can't click it.

    I want to update an app on the App Store on my brand new MacBook Air, but unfortunately it is asking me to sign in to my old Apple ID.
    I do have the password for it, but I don't want to use it anymore, that's why I changed to a new one. everything else on the computer seems to ask for my new Apple ID except when updating an App at the App Store.
    I press "Update" and it makes a pop up asking me for my old Apple ID pass. But I cannot click the Apple ID to change it. I can only attempt the password of my old account.
    If I go to the "Store" tab beside "Edit" and "Window", I can sign in and out of my new Apple ID just fine, but it has no effect on the issue.
    Thats about all the info I can think to give, any suggestions?

    Ok, I moved iMovie to the trash bin, and it made some progress. But when I looked to re-download it, it was 17$
    I already own it, came with the computer, do you know what to do here?

  • App Store is asking for different account info

    I have an iPod Touch, 3rd gen (technically 2nd gen, I guess?) 8 GB.
    My brother and I have both of our iPods synced to one computer, but with different iTunes accounts.
    When I try to download certain apps, it shows my brother's email address, and asks for his password. When I submit his information, it asks me to update my billing information, saying "Your account has been accessed from a new computer or device, and you must verify your payment info before you can make purchases".
    It brings me to a screen to update my billing info, and my brother's information is already filled in.
    I have tried syncing my iPod to iTunes, making sure I was logged in to the iTunes store with my account. It is still asking for different account info. This is also happening with certain apps on my brother's iPod.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    The diffrent apps "know" from which account you purchased them.
    So you have got apps from your account and from your brothers account on your device.
    I've got a simliar use. One account for the german appstore and another for the us store.

    Rich

    I am having the same problems and have purchased Aperture 3 in June and gone through two upgrades and then the latest cloud upgrade which may be the second or 3rd upgrade wants me to put a non existant serial number and I purchased off the app store?
    Dont tell me that I have to delete and download again. I dont have time for all that again and again.
    Does anybody know a workaround.
    Is there a software link in the UK to complain to Apple Support about this issue as it is time wasting and seems that Apple does not give a stuff about customer support outside of the USA?!!
