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.

  • I was unable to download free apps because I don't have credit card or visa

    I went to apps store and try to download free application on my iPod touch (4th generation). Then when I sign in, I have missing information like the payment mode, even though its free appliction and I dont have even Credit Card or Visa to finish filling it up. So thats why I cannot download free application.. HELP ME ASAP.

    Have you created the account? If yes, the following procedures cant be applied. You have to open a new account for this to work!
    In your PC:
    1.Open iTunes and navigate to App Store!
    2. Sign-out of Apple ID.
    3. Upon seeing a free app, you'll notice that a button named FREE is displayed beneath so when you click it, it downloads automatically.
    4. Click it, now a dialog box opens up asking you to provice your Apple login details, in that box you'll notice the option named CREATE AN ACCOUNT, click it and create a new ID.
    5. On the payment page, there will be an optin named NONE, select it and complete the registration.
    Its done.

  • How do I update my apps without having to add a credit card

    Hi,
    I was using a pre paid debit card since I'm only 16 and now my ipod won't update my apps. What am I to do? I have no other credit card and it always says I have to re enter my credit card info in order for me to update apps

    Updates for paid apps are free. You don't have to use any payment method to do that. If found this page very useful. Check this.

  • Is there a way to gift an app without having to use a credit card?

    I used a itune gift card and have the credit on my account but I want to gift an app and it won't let me unless I use a credit card. Any help?

    If you need something with a bit more heft to it as far as formatting choices go, try Bean - it's a free word processor.

    And, your iMac may have come with Pages already installed. It's a full-fledged word processor.

  • Why cant i download free apps on my iphone if i dont have a credit card

    my iphone 5 wont let me download free apps since i dont have a credit card number how do i fix that

    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.

    You don't, this is a security measure which can't be changed, however, if you purchase another App within 15 minutes your password should not be required.

    What happens when you try to download those apps ? You haven't got an app age restriction set in Settings > General > Restrictions on your iPad ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

    Why i cannot download any apps on my app store on my ipad?

    Have you tried updating the apps via iTunes on the computer?
    If so, do they update?
    Are you able to then sync those updated apps to the device from iTunes?
    Were the apps possible acquired with a different Apple ID?
