Sorry... But... You cannot use other Countries iTunes Stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

    I Was downloading a free app from the iTunes Store ,and could not it said because no money in my method of payment .if it is free why do I need to have a method of payment?

    If you didn't setp your iTunes account, from the beginning, without a credit card, you'll have to either add a credit card to your account or redeem an iTunes gift card, regardless of whether the app is free or not.

  • Why i cant download a free apps using my apple id?

    how can i download a free apps?

    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 cannot download a free app

    I am suddenly unable to download a free app without keep putting in my bank details which I have already done when I first registered, this has only started happening over the last couple of days. I have not downloaded anything as I am unsure whether something is not right for this to happen. Has anyone else had the same problem?
    Thanks

    More than likely something has changed in regards to your bank details, either a credit card has expired, etc. While it is still a free app you are trying to download, your account has to be current to be able to download anything. Go sign into your Apple account and verify all of the details there. If everything looks correct, you can try to contact Apple about there problem here. https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

  • I am not allowed to download a free app from US iTunes  store

    I wanted to download free ABC News Iphone app from US store as its not avaliable in thr French one.
    I get a message stating my Apple Id doesn't allow ime to do so.
    How can I manage ?
    Thanks for your help.
    Jean.

    You can't - not unless you have a credit card with a US mailing address to create a US iTunes store account even for a free app. This is required and due to licensing and other issues in each country, which Apple has nothing to do with. It is up to ABC News to license and provide their free app via the iTunes app store in France.

  • I was trying to download a FREE app. It was keep saying that I have to verify my credit card details. As I did. Unfortunately they charged me 1,98 eur. Do you know why???

    I tried to download a free app.It was keep telling that I had to verify my credit card.In the end they charged me 1,98eur! Do you know why?

    Just for info..
    This is the official answer from Apple.
    "When you update your billing information (in this case when you filed your credit card), the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement.
    Don't worry, this is not an actual charge, it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions."
    Many thanks

    To use an Apple ID, in the iTunes/App store, requires a payment method be associated with your ID. That can be either a credit card, or if no credit card, you can redeem an iTunes gift card. So, do you have a payment method associated with your account?

  • HT3702 When I try to download a "FREE" app is ask for my billing details, I put in the "CORRTECTLY"  and it declines it, why ?????

    You normally need to provide some sort of payment method (in part as proof of residence in the country) before you can get even the free apps. It is possible to set up a new iTunes Store account just for free apps, but you have to create a new Apple ID; you cannot use an existing one. If you want to do that, 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 again 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 content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Registred in Israel, why I cannot download App name ClubReader

    registred in Israel, why I cannot download App name ClubReader used in France to by and read ebooks in french.? Generraly speaking how can I buy french ebooks and downloaded them in Ibooks.

    Generally speaking, if you can't find the books you want in the iBookstore, try one of the other stores which provide free ereader apps, such as Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Google, or Sony.
    Regarding ClubReader, ask the people who make it.

  • I want to download a free app. But iTunes wants my credit card information everytime and I get declined. Why and how do I fix it.

    I want to download a free app. When I sign in then I have to sign in again to iTunes. Then it wants my credit card information as it always does. When I fill it out it says I'm decline and try a different card. Why it do that when the app is free. When first started iTunes I had no problem downloading apps. Why now since I used a card a few times does it ask me for my card information everytime now. Can't download any free apps without being declined.

    Hello Snoweagle57,
    It sounds like you are trying to download a free app, and when prompted to enter a credit card it is declined. I would use this article to go into iTunes and change your payment method to None:
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)

    If you are unable to select None, the following article may help you determine why:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • HT4623 Why does the App Store want my Credit Card details to download a Free App?

    In recent months the App Store requests my Credit Card details before it will let me download a Free App. Why is this and am I going to get charged for Free Apps, a few weeks ago my Credit Card was charged $1 for down loading a Free App. Why is this happening? Jeanette143

    If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD, to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • Why do I need a credit card to download a free app?

    Why do I suddenly need a credit card to download a free app? Is this something new or are we somehow getting hacked?

    This is nothing new. A valid form of payment is required unless you originally set up your Apple ID to not require a credit card. Check your Apple ID account. Maybe the expiration date ID past.

    I'm trying to download a FREE app and the billing info thing keeps popping up. It wasn't doing that yesterday. Now I can't even download anything. What should I do ? Idk why I need thus info when the app is free

    You must have a payment method in your iTunes account, even for free content. It is used to verify your identity. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 for information on how to create a billing method if you don't have a credit card.
