Why do you need my bank details if your apps are free

Why can't I download a free app, if my bank has under £10 in it?

I don't need your bank details, and neither does any of the other users in this user-to-user discussion forum. You will have to direct your question to Apple, not to other users.
However, Apple needs some sort of proof you are who you say you are. The way they do this is by verifying a payment method. So you need either Apple gift cards deposited to your account, or a debit or credit card number.

  • Why do you need a credit card # if the app is free

    I do not have a valid credit card that I can remember a password for.
    What can I do to download
    Firefox?

    If this is the Firefox home app, it may be a requirement of the iPhone site to enter credit card details. This is not a requirement from Mozilla.

    ITunes/App Store needs verification.
    Put in your valid credit card details associated with your Apple ID.
    You won't be charged if it's free.

  • HT1918 Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?

    Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?  If I cannot purchase goods with the prepuchased gift cards, then the card is useless and I want my money back.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Just because you are being asked to enter your credit card details doesn't mean that it will be charged for your purchases.
    Is it a newly created account ? If it is then unless you use the instructions on this page when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • Why do you need an f after a float initializtion?

    When you make a declaration and initialization of a float, you have to put an f after the number, correct?
    Like
    float productPrice1 = 285.00f;
    why do you need to do this and do you need to do it in an assignment operation to?
    productPrice1 = 285.00f;
    What about for doubles? Would I need to use a d in place of the f?
    thanks

    What about for doubles? Would I need to use a d inplace of the f?
    No, you need to do that to tell the compiler it is a
    float, not a double. When assign to a double, you
    don't need to tell the compiler it is a double. :)although nothing bad will happen if you do use a 'd' or 'D'.
    Good luck in learning Java.

  • Why do you need to shift click to select stroke color with eyedropper tool?

    Hi,
    Quick question..
    Why do you need to shift click to select the stroke color with the eyedropper tool?
    I had the problem where I could not do this earlier and found the solution on this forum.
    However I still do not understand the reason for this.
    Appreciate if anyone could explain it to me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nori

    Hi, Nori,
    If you have the red and blue rectangle selected and the Fill square selected in the tool panel, as at bottom left, then hold the shift key down and click with the eyedropper on the green stroke in the upper rectangle, then the red fill will turn green but the stroke stays blue. If you select Stroke, as at bottom right, then shift-click with the eyedropper on the green stroke, the blue stroke will turn green but the fill stays red. With Fill selected and shift-click on the yellow fill, the red fill turns yellow; with Stroke selected the blue stroke turns yellow. If you do not depress the shift key, the red and blue rectangle will become yellow and green.
    It's complicated to explain, but I think that if you try it step by step it will make sense to you.

  • Why do you need to go about linking to services-config.xml in your flex compiler

    Why do you need to go about linking to services-config.xml in
    your flex compiler when you want to do remoting. It just seems like
    a complicated way to do things.

    Yeah I find this perplexing as well. I'm guessing it has something to do with Opalis origins perhaps.
    Would be good to understand why.

  • Why would you need an H.264 hardware encoding device?

    I am a casual user of Adobe Premiere Pro and just upgraded to CS5.5.   I have been reading threads and someone said that he has problems with the Matrox encoder.  I can import my video and make and DVD so why would you need another hardware solution? 

    I don't know how it works on Windows but on the Mac it shows up as a QuickTime component. So any application that can export a QuickTime movie (QuickTime Player, Adobe Media Encoder, Compressor, etc) can export to this component and it will utilize the Matrox hardware.
    Theoretically you could set your preview file format in Premiere to the Matrox component but I don't know how well it would work.

  • Why do you need PVDMs?

    Hi all,
    Dumb question!
    Why do you need PVDMs in a NM-HDV2-1T1/E1? The voice from the IP phones is in digital form, and so surely is the voice coming in over the T1/E1 - why do you need these DSPs?
    thanks,
    alec

    You could almost call them transcoders in this case.
    The default g711 codec for a given country (g711ulaw for North America, g711alaw for most everywhere else including I think the UK) is identical or nearly identical to that used on PRIs or clear-channel channelized circuits. If the g711 variant you're using for your VoIP traffic isn't the same as the g711 variant for PSTN circuit you're using, the DSPs handle that transcoding. If you're using robbed-bit channelized circuits, the DSPs have to drop a little bit of information. If you're using g729 or another low-speed codec, the DSPs have to "expand" the audio up to the PSTN channel size. And of course, the reverse of all this stuff takes place when audio comes in from the PSTN and has to be packetized and sent out on your IP network.
    The DSPs are also in charge of getting the right data to the PSTN channel at the right time. T1/E1 lines have strict timing requirements and the DSPs handle transmitting bits at just the right times. Part of that is handling the de-jitter buffers that turn possibly jittery RTP traffic into a nice isochronous bitstream for the PSTN circuit, and doing predictive insertion if we don't get voice data in time to put it on the circuit.
    One more duty the DSPs handle is echo cancellation from the PSTN. They "memorize" outgoing voice traffic, and then they listen for it coming back from the PSTN. If it's present, they mathematically "subtract" it from the incoming voice stream, which eliminates it.
    This is not a complete list of what the DSPs do for you, but I think I hit the highlights.

  • Do you need Wifi to use the radio app on the IPad2

    Do you need Wifi to use the radio app on the IPad 2?

    The iPad doesn't have a radio receiver built in. The Radio app is playing radio stations that stream content on the Internet. So that's why you need either Wi-Fi or cellular.

  • What do you need to do to get your pictures back after you just restored your phone? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago

    what do you need to do to get your pictures that you took awhile ago back on your iphone 4s after you just restored your phone it? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago. I backed everythign up at the apple store while the person who helped me watched me do it. i have 1,796 pictures i took before i restored my phone, but it wont let me see them. it just says "downoading" and i will be devestated if all of my pictures are gone. please help me!

    You would have received a prompt telling you that you didn't have sufficient space to beck up your phone if that was the case.  Also, not everything on your phone is stored in the backup so you wouldn't need 11.7GB to back it up.  You can see the size of your backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups and look under Options.
    If it says "downloading" it's probably still downloading your pictures from iCoud.  Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup at the bottom to see the status of the restore process.

    What cable do you need to watch shows on your macbook to your HDTV?

    Depends on which MacBook Pro you have and what kind of TV you have.
    If you're MacBook Pro is 2010 or 2010, and your TV has an HDMI input, then get this adapter.  It should be easy.
