Why do we have to put credit card number if we r only 13 years old

I have a apple I'd and if I log into my account into my iPod it says I need a credit card number to downloaded anything and that is stupid

You create a NEW account 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.

OS X Mavericks is offered as a free download, why is apple asking for a credit card number?

Can someone tell me why apple is asking for a credit card number to download the Free OS X Mavericks?

Yes. This is what it says.
Resolution
You might not be able to see or select the None payment option for one of these reasons. If you don’t want to use a credit card, you can use another form of payment, such as a gift card.
If you have an unpaid balance or payment due
You can't select None as your payment type until you pay your balance. To see which order you need to pay for,view your purchase history on a Mac or PC. When you sign in to the store, you might see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
If you’re using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time
If you’re using the store for the first time with an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method. After you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
If you’re creating a new Apple ID, you might be able to create an account without entering your credit card details.
If you changed your country or region
When you change the country or region of an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing options. If you want to remove your payment method after you change the country or region, you canchange your payment information to None.
She hasn't changed countries nor regions, she's not using the either store for the first time, nor does she owe anything. She doesn't have a gift card. She's just a person without a credit card. She did have one, and now she doesn't.

Why i can't remove my credit card number from my account ?

why i can't remove my credit card number from my account ?
i always remove my credit card number after purchase apps , but i try at this morning it did't allow be to remove it anymore , can someone tell me why ?

It happens on Mac App Store & iPhone App store as well.
So clearly the problem is on my Apple ID..
I've changed my credit card details on my Apple ID but it doesn't reflect onto my phone when I login after restarting the phone. Even if i sign out.
When it reaches the part where I would need to verify my phone after entering my password. It just keeps requesting for my password and never shows me anything.
If I click update apps it'll just disable my account. Even on my Mac App store same thing happening.

I have a Canadian credit card but a Korean address only. Can I switch to the Canadian iTunes Store to purchase a movie?

I have a Canadian credit card but not a Canadian address. My address is in South Korea. I want to purchase a movie from the iTunes Store, but I cannot currently because there is no Korean iTunes Store. May I switch to the Canadian iTunes Store with a Canadian credit card and a Korean address? Or how can I gain access to the Canadian iTunes Store?

The iTunes Store in a country is intended for use only by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

I already have 590 battery cycles.80 % capacity. the MBP is only 1 year old. is this healthy? any tips?

i already have 590 battery cycles. the MBP is only 1 year old. is this healthy? any tips? Im already at 80% capacity.

battery cycles dont mean anything except in the old age of the battery
short term abuse kills a battery, NOT battery cycles.
General consideration of your MacBook battery
Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.
However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The main quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.
A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.
If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.

Why do you need to put credit card details in to the app store when you may want to simply obtain free items in the beginning?

Apple clearly is a leader and thankfully are bringing fantastic products and initiatives to the market.
I certainly hope that the company doesn't get arrogant like it seems to do when forcing people trying to get free apps to put in credit card details.
I suspect it wouldn't be too much work to allow users to try it out first by using some free apps and when they are personally ready they can purchase to their little hearts desire.
Poor showing from this perspecitive and easy to fix.

Never put your credit card info into iTunes as Apple credit card security is horrible. There are many cases of credit card problems with Apple. My credit card was compromised 2 weeks after creating an Apple account. That was the ONLY online usage of my credit card.
Apple does NOT follow PCI compliance which is the credit card industry standards for credit card data protection. It requires all companies to NOT store credit card information online because (surprise, surprise Apple!) it can be hacked.
Why does Apple need to store the credit card data and put the information at risk and why do they not follow industry (PCI Compliance) guidelines - especially for free aps or updates?

Why do I have to input credit card info for Apple id. I can' t seem to bypass it. I didn't have two for my other accounts.

Apple ID won't let me finish my account without credit card info.??? There is no none selection this time.

They key to making the account without a credit card is to sign out of anything you have signed into.
You will need an e-mail you've never used with apple.
Then go into the App Store or iTunes and try to download something free. When prompted to enter your Apple ID, choose to make a new one and follow the prompts from there. You can then make the ID and get the 'none' option.

Putting credit card number in and keeps telling me contact iTunes support

I bought my six year old son a new ipad2 and am attempting to create an apple email and account and I get to putting my credit card in and it keeps telling me contact iTunes to change billing info but when I try it won't let me.

You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to contact the iTunes Store.

HT2534 I have my Apple ID but there is a pop up menu that tells me to review my info.But when i clicked Review it says that i have to put a card number and a security code,and the expiration date pls help me..

When I started to install Apps. on my iPad there,a message tells me that I have to review my Info.After clicking review there are only 3 choices:VISA,MasterCard and Amex.But we don't have credit card.What should I do?

You cannot use that ID without a credit card. You did not create your account correctly. There is very specific way in which you must create your account if you do not want to use a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you will have to start all over again.
1. You will have to sign out of that ID before you can create a new one. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out.
2. You cannot use the email address that you used for the first ID that you created. You will need to use another email address now
3. You have to download a free app in order to start the new Apple ID process.

Why do you have to put your credit card information in

why do you have to use credit card information to start an online id

You don't HAVE to, but it sure does make life easier if you do. You might want to buy a song. You might want to buy an App. You might want to make an In-App purchase. I've had my CC tied to my iTunes account now for years, and it's completely secure.
If however, you want to limit what you can download on your iPad. Here are directions on how to set up a credit card free account.

HT1689 Can I set up an ITunes account without a credit card number?

We are using IPads in a school setting and having trouble setting up the ITunes account without a credit card number. We are only allowed to download free apps, the school is not paying for any, therefore we do not need to have a credit card for purchases. Is there a way to get around this so that we can still download the free apps onto the IPads?
Thank you

If you only want the free apps, 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 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 apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

Cc keeps asking for new credit card number despite membership cancelled

I have tried different things to address the fact that CC is constantly sending message about my unprocessed payment (I have changed my credit card number) but I have cancelled my membership and they should not be concern with unprocessed payment. Could I talk to a real person? The steps indicated in the website is like a vicious circle bringing me back to this forum, no option for calling or chat. I have spent lots of time trying to cancel now this. Please help.

Credit Card number not Valid" error message

Hi ,
While we are trying to test our pilot, we have configured the Preauth in our Credit Card process. I have given the Credit Card number ranges for VISA and Master like /5100000000000000 to 5199999999999999, and 40000000000000000 to 4999999999999999. Rest of the other config is maintained.
I could add 4111111111111111 to one of the customers in the customer master , but when I try to add a number to another customer 4000234016729199, I get a error message " Card Number not Valid "..I checked the Checking groups it is all fine.
Please let me know if I missed something .
Thanks
Ravi

Srinath
Thanks for your reply.
I tried the option but still it gives me the same error.
The config is as below:
1.Payment Card Type - VISA - CCARD_CHECK_VISA (assigned)
2.Defined Card Categories MC/VISA/AMEX/DISC
3.Determine Card Categories - VISA/1/BT/ 4000000000000001/4999999999999999/VI
And the rest of the config is maintained.
Do you think any other area/assignment I would have missed?
OR 49999999999999999 is a bad number?
I am not knowing what please let me know.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Ravi
