Why am I required to provide a Title when filling in my credit card information?
The only options they have available are Dr., Mr., Mrs., and Ms. Why does Apple need to know what is in my pants? And why, if I'm female, does Apple want me to imply my marital status, but not if I'm a male? And why are Doctors exempt from this antiquated requirement?
Could also be that as you are an American .. you have an american creditcard, social security and all that...
now you try to log/connect in Germany .. this could be a security conflict as they will see where your IP is coming from ...
All in all, they want to prevent any kind of cardstealing and stuff ... just contact them, explain, and they will prob help you out!! ( cuz they sure doesn't wanna loose those nickels and dimes ppl put into their pockets )!!!!

You will need to contact iTunes support and ask them why you are getting the message and how to resolve it, which you can do via this page (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Step 3 is important, no matter whether you do this on a Mac or an iPad / iPhone:

To summarize, you must first download a free app from the App Store. When you are asked to sign in with your Apple ID, select "Create new account". Accept the terms and conditions checkbox, then click Continue. After you enter all the requested personal data, click Continue.
When you are asked to select a payment method, select "None".
That's all there is to it. -

I use to download free games but now it is asking for my credit card information why?
You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later. -
Why is my mom getting the error message for province when trying to create iTunes account when providing her credit card information?
Hi Nahal,
I'm just wondering, is it possible that your Mom (originally) got her credit card in a different province?
I don't know much, but of this I am certain: Apple would absolutely, positively, love to help you create an iTunes account!
Otherwise, you can start here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I called apple support because my iphone 5 charger stopped working and they said they would send me a new charger but why do they need credit card information if every apple product has 1 year warranty?
Hi CryyCorr33
Sound like they did what is called an express replacment. What apple does is they put a hold on your Credit Card for the amount of the cord because they are sending you the cord first. Then, once you receive the new cord in about 2-3 days, you'll put the defective cord in the box and ship it back out and when they receieve the defective one, they'll be able to remove that hold from you card.
I believe the reason behind the hold on your card is incase you don't return your defective one to them so they can find out the cause of the issue.
An Apple Retail Store could swap them out for you in store incase you happen to be near one. This requires no hold.
Hope this helps -
HT201303 Can't update free app without putting credit card information? Why?
Cannot update free app without updating my credit card information! Says I am using new device to connect with app store ? This is not true as I'm using and have always been using my I phone. And why do I need to provide credit card info for free app?
Change your payment information to none on your iphone, goto settings > store , tap on your apple ID , tap view account , tap payment type , change to none.
This is all provided that you don't owe itunes any monies, if so then attach a credit card or itunes gift card and pay your arrears.
Free app or paid app, you will not be able to use your apple id until you settle one of the above. -
HT5622 Why am I asked to Leave my credit card information for free apps?
Why am I asked to leave Or provide my credit card information to download a free app?
To expound just a little bit more on what Ralph is saying ...if you do not set up your Apple ID in a very specific way from the start, Yoy have to enter credit card details even if you are downloading free apps. Your account details are now incompletely with the credit card, even though you don't want to use a credit card.
This explains exactly how you have to set up an Apple ID if you do not want to use a credit card. If you did not set up the account this way, you are now forced to enter the credit card - if you want to use this ID.

I Have three app updates on my iPhone 5c, and the App Store is asking me for my credit card information when it is on file and then it gets declined. What is the purpose of needing my CC info for free updates?? Do NOT make me drop my apple products and change to that **** android crap.
Howdy GaryFC,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If you have a payment source associated with your Apple ID, it needs to be a vaild form of payment. To troubleshoot issues with your payment type being declined, please follow the steps below.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
Open iTunes. If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
Choose Store > View My Account.
Click the Edit Payment Information button.
In the Payment Method section, choose None.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

I want to download a free app. When I sign in then I have to sign in again to iTunes. Then it wants my credit card information as it always does. When I fill it out it says I'm decline and try a different card. Why it do that when the app is free. When first started iTunes I had no problem downloading apps. Why now since I used a card a few times does it ask me for my card information everytime now. Can't download any free apps without being declined.
Hello Snoweagle57,
It sounds like you are trying to download a free app, and when prompted to enter a credit card it is declined. I would use this article to go into iTunes and change your payment method to None:
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you are unable to select None, the following article may help you determine why:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

Hi, I have registered at apple site, and i have submitted the credit card information, they deducted some ammount without my permission, why they did that? how can i remove my credit card details from that site or deactivate my account?
From that HT3702 page :
If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two -
