Why can't I buy the 2.2 software upgrade without a credit card?

I don't understand why I need a credit card to buy the 2.2 software upgrade for the iPod touch. Can someone please explain why?

So, it is on the website. It's probably in the EULA you had to agree to. However, most people just click through.

I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated. And can't used the app card number. Any advice???

I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

The "None" option is not available. Presumably because I have already purchased on that Apple ID with a credit card.
That is not likely the case. As you can see in my account in the US store I have a bank card in place and I have the None option.

So I watched the trailer of the movie "Tracers" then I wanted to BUY the movie on my AppleTV. The only option available is to RENT the movie on my AppleTV. Why can't I buy it? If anyone knows why this is please let me know.
Thanks

Some movies may only be available for rent or only available to buy at different times.
Tracers is currently only available to Rent. There's nothing to do but wait for the Studio / rights owners to make it available for purchase.

Why can't I buy the Iphone 5s in Catalonia||*|| yet?

I can't understand why I have to wait to december to buy the new Iphone. In France, United Kingdom or Germany you can buy it, so why can't I do the same in Catalonia????

No one here is invloved in "why." You can purchase it there when it is released there. If that answer does not suffice. . .

Nobody here can even begin to hazard a guess with the limited amount of information that you provided. Contact iTunes Store Support and ask them.

How can my daughter get apps on her new ipod without a credit card?

My daughter just got a new Ipod. She tried creating her own AppleID but it keeps asking for a credit card. How can she get apps without a credit card? Can I use my AppleID to get her apps without allowing her access to my credit card?

Why can't I buy the E52 in white?

It's listed as an available colour on the website but I can only buy the ugly aluminium through the Nokia online store. Pretty stupid listing four different available colours when you can only buy one.
Is there any other way I can purchase this phone in white from an authorised re-seller in the UK?

What happens when you try?

Why can't I buy the Ipod 2.2 software update and Itouch/Phone applications?

Why cant I buy the new touch update and applications with money from an itunes giftcard? I bought a 25$ giftcard from max hoping I would have the 2.2 update and a few applications minutes from the purchase.
Now im being told by technical support that I need a credit card set up on the account to buy the update and applications. What a rip off. Now im left with an Itouch that doesn't do what I want and even when I get a credit card on my account to get the apps I will have 25$ dollars which I have to spend on there Itunes overpriced crap songs.
I will be trying to get a refund on this but I just want to know how does this inconvinence for the consumer at all benefit Apple? Is it because a gift card is a predetermined purchase thus making it less likely for consumers to spend more?
To top it all Itunes does not even have a customer support phone line. What a disappointment.

More info: "iTunes Gift Cards Terms and Conditions" (Canada)

Why can't I buy the marvel creative stylus in uk

It seems that here in the UK we are classed as second class citizens, where Apple are concerned.
Just try and buy the Marvel Creative Stylus !

Is it Apple that decides what to sell or the wholesaler? You can buy the Disney Creative Stylus from the UK and you can download the Marvel Creative Style iPad app for free. I say download the free app and buy a cheap stylus.

Why can't I buy the new Iphone?

Is anyone as ****** off as me that I cannot buy the new Iphone without paying $499? I purchased the first phone for $700, the second phone for $500 all on the day they came out. Now Apple will let anyone who didn't buy it before get it for $299 but I gotta pay $200 extra or wait till December. Way to **** off your core group. I plan on buying a new phone every year but if I have to wait till December I might as well wait till next June and get a phone that has 64Gigs of memory. Effectively this policy stinks and I'll spend less on apple products as a result. If anyone knows how to get a message through to the idiots who came out with this brilliant marketing strategy let me know.

The first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way. The 8GB first generation iPhone retailed for $599 when first released, not $699, and Apple provided everyone who paid that price a $100 credit.
The iPhone 3G was/is subsidized by AT&T. Since the first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way, all subscribers who purchased and activated a first generation iPhone qualified for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized price for the iPhone 3G when first released, or anytime thereafter. There may have been an exception such as someone purchasing another phone at AT&T's subsidized price within a month before the first generation iPhone was released and keeping the phone.
This same applies to every carrier in regards to subsidized phones. You must fulfill your contract requirement for an existing subsidized phone before you qualify for upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with a new phone. Was the first generation iPhone your first cell phone and cellular service? If not, this should no be anything new.
I was a Verizon subscriber for over 6 years before switching to AT&T before the iPhone was available. The entire time I was a Verizon subscriber, I didn't qualify for Verizon's upgrade or fully subsidized price with a new phone until the last 3 months of my 2 year contract for an existing subsidized phone. I got a new phone every 2 years basically, which is common. If I wanted a new phone every 12 months, I would have been required to pay the full retail sales price for the phone I wanted, or at a higher price that was not fully subsidized by Verizon.

Why can't I buy the pages app for my iPad?

I tried to buy the pages app for my ipad but it said it wasn't supported?

Pages requires iOS 5 now as indicated on the app description page under the Pages icon. You will have to download and install iTunes 10.5 first on your computer in order to download and install iOS 5 for the iPad. Your profile indicates that you are running iOS 5. If that is the case, try restarting the iPad or resetting it and try again.
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.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

;Thank you very much for the quick reply.
Might I ask why the x-fi and the Audigy 2 se are almost identical?
The x-fi xtreme seems to be a rehash.
However, it seems the audigy has the codec for 5. optical, but the x-fi doesn't.
