You must have a valid method of payment even for free apps, in case you make in-app purchases (you won't be charged). You can use an iTunes gift card.

    If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    I dont have any credit card so how can i buy some apps?

    If you do not already have an Apple ID try downloading a free app and you should be prompted to creat an Apple ID that you can use without a credit card. You must download a free app first. If you already have an Apple ID, sign out of the ID and then download a free app and you should be taken through the process that I am describing above.

    p.s. sorry for bad english

    If you are not in the US with a US billing address and payment method then you can't buy items from the US store - you need to be in a country to use its store.
    Does your credit card work with your own country's store ? For it have a chance of being accepted the credit card then needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and to have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are.
    What's the actual error message that you are getting ?

    Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If created the account (e.g. you're not in the process of creating it and are stuck on the payment screen) and you are being prompted to review it then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you reviewit without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not then you will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

    You can add iTunes gift cards to your Apple ID. That way you can make purchases without linking your ID to a credit card.

  • Why i cannot download free apps in Qatar???

    please help!! i cannot download free apps. im currently in Qatar. thank you and appreciate!

    Someone claims that if you use the iTunes app on your Mac to set up your purchasing account for the iTunes and Mac App Stores, that you can choose the None option in the payment methods and avoid entering your bank card details.

  • My credit card banned from Itunes Store so can't download free APPS on my Iphone?

    I had some charges put on the Best Buy $50 Itunes gift card that I reported on Dec 23rd, 2011.  So I was refunded $40 and they banned my only credit card that I have from any transaction thru the Itunes Store, which I was not informed of, even though the unauthorized charges were on a gift card issued to me from Best Buy?  So from that point on I was never able to download any APPS to my iphone I purchased in May 2012 which I didn't figure out until I tried to download APPS!  I don't know why they want credit card info for downloading a free app on my iphone?

    If I dispute charges with my card issuer, it gets processed as fraud. I myself would ask for a new card to protect myself from more unwanted/unauthorized purchases.
    I would assume that since you disputed iTunes/Apple charges with your card issuer, Apple was made aware that fraud was on your account & to protect YOU they disallowed the card & your account (until you called in to get it reinstated).
    In MY opinion, Apple did you a favor. If you report purchases to your card issuer- why would you keep the same card? Why not protect yourself & get a new card.
    Since your current card isn't allowed- get a new card or use iTunes gift cards.
    If it is a poor policy to protect you… thats sad..
    Try putting restrictions on your devices and inadvertent purchases won’t happen. :]
