With a normal iTumes account, a valid payment method is required even for free apps and app updates. Yu can purchases and redeem an iTunes gift card into your account. Also, you can create a new iTunes account that is only good for free apps by following these instructions:

Did you successfully verify yur account as asked in the message? To verify:
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify. -

Im trying to update my apps and it wont let me. When i clicked on an app to update it or to download a free app it says "sign in required, tap continue and sign in to view your billing information" when i did it says "you must verify your payment info before you can makes purchases" then "security code is invalid" when the security code is valid. I even switched credit card it keeps saying the same thing....... THIS IS NOT FAIR........ I WANNA UPDATE MY APPS!!!!! Btw idk why did i buy the ipad for, APPLE dont even let you download ADOBE FLASH PLAYER and must of the games required ADOBE FLASH PLAYER to play example: wizard101. Idk what i was thinking...... :(
Why not simply remove yoru payment info by selecting None at top?
APPLE dont even let you download ADOBE FLASH PLAYER
Considering Adobe dont (sic) even make Flash Player for iPads, this seems about right. How can you download something that does not exist? -

When i download any free app from the appstore a message is appearing verification required what must i do???
You need to view your iTunes account and make sure you have a valid payment method in the account. Unless you initially setup the account without a credit card you need a valid payment method even for free apps.

I would like to know what data is sent to a developer, and to Apple, whenver I download a FREE app from the AppStore, and also what additional data is sent once I decide to purchase the app.
I understand that I have to explicitly allow access to an for certain features (ie Motion or Contact(s) data), but does this also mean that this data is being transmitted to the developer? And when I sign up to an app's subscription service, like FourSquare, am I identified by name or just by my Apple device identifier?
And, finally, does Apple actually restrict/prevent an app from abusing information available or do they just trust the developer to adhere to policy?
Thanks for your input,
Rupethis is hard to answer but what I know is that:
if you download a free / paid app, Apple makes sure that the app is not going to harm your device by checking the codes do not have viruses/malwares.
However, when it comes to your data, it is hard not to be controlled by Apple . That is why you have to read the privacy policy of each app BEFORE downloading into your device e.g: you download Facebook app, it can read your IP address and estimate your location even if you turn the GPS off. some apps run in the background and obtain your pictures if you allow these apps to gain access into your pictures..... etc
Apple helps you to be in control of your device and data by many methods , but it is your responsibility to keep your data safe as well , by reading about the developers of your app and what kind of info it is collecting by reading privacy policy.
Talking about this need lot of words to explain so I tried to summarise the point -
Serious issue here. I have no idea what is going on. It will not let me download even a free app. Anyone know how to correct this?

HT4461 How come is my credit card charged for money when I download a free app in Apple store?
I downloaded the app from US Apple store, while my credit card is issued in China. Is that the reason? Otherwise, I am a little worried. Should I belive in the free app any more?

This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
Please, can anyone help...?!?
Sincerely,
"Distressed"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.

I removed my credit card from my apple ID account, and ever since then whenever i try and download a free app it says my apple ID is disabled yet on the computer and my iphone it seems to be working fine?
Try logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works on it.

I tried downloading a free app and it asked for my billing information and when I entered it, it said that there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and I have to update it. I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and I cant get any apps even if they are free, and I just Deleted some apps to make room for my new upate!
The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.
And yes, I paid with the card a meal in Burguer King today. And nothing more. -
How do I remove my credit card from my account? Right now I have debit or credit card and when I try to download a free app like Facebook, it tells me to update my billing info and won't accept it blank. It says I owe for a previous purchase.
