  • Why I cannot download free apps without having to put a credit card number in Apple ID?

    I recently activate my apple ID account, and I tried to download Maverick. But, because my account has never being used in the app store I have to put an credit card number, which I don't have. I'd like to know if is possible to avoid this step and be able to download Maverick.
    Thanks.

    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.

    The 2G iPod can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. You have two choices:

    - Purchase a newer model iPod.

    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
    If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click "iTunes Store" in the left navigation pane. Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

  • Why do I need a credit card number on file to download free apps?

    I've had this itunes account for several years. The last CC that I had on file for making purchases has been lost (and reported as such). So, obviously my payment information regarding that card is no longer valid and I can no longer make purchases. Understandable.
    I am, however, still waiting for a new card to be sent to me before I can go in an update the information.
    What is boggling me is that when I attempt to download updates or other free applications, itunes (on my phone) keeps asking me to sign in and provide payment information (which I do not have). It will not let me download any free apps or updates without it.
    1. Why?
    2. How do people who use gift cards or paypal use this function on their iphone/itouch? (or, really anyone who either doesn't have a CC or doesn't want to use it). There's GOT to be a way when I see other people walking around with their iphones/itouches dl'ing free apps just presumably without a linked credit card on their account. Right?
    I know all I really need to do is wait for my card and update my info when it gets here, but there are some pretty important updates that I kind of need now.

    You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:

  • I can't download any apps even free apps and it's asking me for my credit card details . Is it necessary to give?

    I just bought my I-pad 3 and none of the apps are getting downloaded and it's asking me for my credit card details due to which I can't even download any free apps .....what should I do ?

    You just have to go in through the back door, so to speak. DOn't create an ID first, go to the app you want, try to download, click on the 'create an id' button and then, when you get to the payment page, you'll see an option for 'none'.

  • Just downloaded a free apps, but it charged to my credit card, why?

    Just downloaded a free apps, but AppStore charged to my credit card, wanna find out what is it for?

    Usually it swips $1 for your credit card.
    In case you have accidentally purchased anything, you will have a receipt within a couple of days to your mail id. You can reverify the purchase, if any.

  • 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. 

  • HT5622 Do you have to have a credit card number to open and use free apps?

    When I go to download a free app, I am asked for a credit card number.  Is this just to have on file for future use just incase a purchase might be made in the future?

    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.)

  • IPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick

    iPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick.

    And yet to download the app you clicked on a button that told you that the app would be 790 rupees for you.
    The iLife apps and the iWork apps are only free when you qualify to get them free. And when you get them free the buy button to download them says free. When the buy button has a price on it, that is how much you will pay for the app.
