Why is it asking me for credit card info when I create an account?
I used a prepaid credit card on my account because I'm only 16 and don't have my own real credit card. This apparently screws it up, so now I can't use that account. I want to make another account, but now it's telling me that credit card information is required to create an account.
For a standard acccount you need a CC.
You can however set up a NEW account f w/o a credit card by following these instructions:
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

I have no idea why this is happening. This has never happend before but I am trying to download music and I just added a Gift card to the account and it is asking me for credit card informaion.
Add the credit card to verify your identity and then go back and select none to remove the credit card from your account.

I just put a $25 iTunes card on my account but it won't let me use it. It just keeps asking me for credit card info
Is it an account that you've just created ? If it is, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card's details after entering them.
If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 -

This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
Please, can anyone help...?!?
Sincerely,
"Distressed"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.

II have just put a $25 credit on my itunes acct. I previously had my credit card charged now it doesn't acknowledge my $25 credit only asks for credit card info. Is there something I have to do to charge my gift card?
How much is the cost of what you wish to buy? The credit is used first and credit card info wouldbe requested for any outstanding balance. The US store prices do not reflect the local sales taxes that are added in the final steps of the purchase transaction.

I want to download some free from iTunes Store but keep asking me for credit card. How will I download for free without asking for credit card.
No credit card. Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
It is important to understand that these instructions apply to the creation of a new Apple ID with an email address not previously associated with an Apple account. -
I have $10 in my account but it is asking for my credit card info when I try to buy an app?
I have $10 in my account but it is asking for my credit card info when I try to buy an app?
If the cost of the app is close to $10 - there could sales tax or VAT added onto the purchase as well. Here in Pennsylvania the state sales tax is 7% in the county in which I live. The app would have to cost less than $9.35 or I would exceed the $10 balance in the account.
It may also be a way of simply identifying that you are who you claim to be - a verification process if you will. Apple is currently increasing security measures in the app store and iTunes. -
I have a 50.00 itunes balance and I am unable to use it. Why is it requesting credit card info when I try to purchase music? I've already redeemed my gift card onto my itunes account, so I no longer have a code.
Because your credit card info is how itunes verifies your account.
