When I try to download a free app, it asks for my credit card info
How can I download a free app without giving my credit card data?
You can also create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
2. Go to App Store and select a free app
3. Tap INSTALL APP
4. Create New Apple ID
5. Confirm Your Country
6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
8. Create and answer your secret question
9. Select NONE for Payment Method
10. Fill in Billing Address
11. Submit application for new Apple ID
12. Wait for verification email
13. When email arrive, verify your account
14. Start downloading your free apps

When i try and download a FREE app its asking for payment verification?
When i try and download a free APP its asking for my credit card information? what do i do?
There are only two ways to purchase apps without a credit card. You can either redeem an iTunes gift card or create a new Apple ID to use without using a credit card by following these steps exactly: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

When I try to download a "FREE" app is ask for my billing details, I put in the "CORRTECTLY" and it declines it, why ?????
You normally need to provide some sort of payment method (in part as proof of residence in the country) before you can get even the free apps. It is possible to set up a new iTunes Store account just for free apps, but you have to create a new Apple ID; you cannot use an existing one. If you want to do that, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note again that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

i need help
Try here:
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records -
?
Select None for payment method > iTunes Store: Changing account information
If None is not available > Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
Yes, you can redeem an iTunes gift card for current purchases.

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.

So take it back and unlock my ability to DL free apps. -
When I try to download a free app after log in the iTunes gets cut off with a msg update security question where do I do this?? I can't download anything
If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

Why does my iPhone send me to a select payment type page when I try to download a FREE app from the apps store?
You can only redownload using the Apple store id you purchased the items under

Why am I getting A message of ...MZCommerce.CreditBalance Mismatch.Mobile message when I try to download a free app like adobe reader on my new IPod
Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference. -

When i try to download an free application, apple ask me for ID,i put id and pass,but the screen is black and nothing happens.. ? what can i do? thank you
Hi...
When you post for help, please tell us which MacOS X you have installed.
Install the appropriate combo update ...
For v10.6 Snow Leopard > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
For v10.7 Lion > OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo)
Then restart your Mac. That will reinstall the App Store for you.
See if you can download an app. -
I have 3 Iphone 4's. One of them updates from the App Store with no issues. My other two which are under the same AppleID will not let me do updates. when I try it asks for my Credit card info then after i enter it it says "security code invalid". Has anyone else had this issue and how have you fixed it?
thank youLeigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here
FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
Apple is not responsible for incompatibility isssues with third party software. -
I have $10 in my account but it is asking for my credit card info when I try to buy an app?
If the cost of the app is close to $10 - there could sales tax or VAT added onto the purchase as well. Here in Pennsylvania the state sales tax is 7% in the county in which I live. The app would have to cost less than $9.35 or I would exceed the $10 balance in the account.
It may also be a way of simply identifying that you are who you claim to be - a verification process if you will. Apple is currently increasing security measures in the app store and iTunes. -
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,
JimHello 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
