Why is the verification of my appleid necessary for free apps

I do have to verify my applid account for the download of free apps . Is that really necessary?
Thanks, Mel

Paid, free, the system is set up to verify that the owner is the one using the account. Your Apple ID is encoded in every licensed copy downloaded with your account. It is part of the anti-piracy scheme.

HT2534 why do i need to enter credit card for free app purchases when i already set up itunes id

please HELP me .I want to install the free apps on my ipod touch but after i enter my id login to apple,it wants to ask for credit card .I never had this problem before with my other ipod touch to install apps that r free.Thanx

If you've never used this device with your account, it is most likely a security procedure to verify that it is you using the account on a new device and not someone else hacking your account.

Why is my billing information not accepted even for free apps??

I have an iPhone 4S, and today I tried to update some of my free apps, but was asked to re-enter my billing information. I did, with the correct information, and know that I have money in that account, but the information was rejected and I am being asked to enter different billing information.
Sadly, I am only 17, and only have one debit card to use, so do not have the option of using a different card. I am stuck for what to do, as I'm certain I only have one Apple ID, and have never purchased any apps or downloaded any using anything but my phone and the account synced to that. The only thing that I've ever purchased is a few songs, which I put a little of my paycheque aside to do, so I know I have the money.
I would very much like this resolved, as I wanted to download done free organisation apps to help with my A Level studies.

TS1702 why do i have to put in password for free apps

why do i have to put a password in for free apps

That's how it is. But really, do you want anyone who happens to get his hands on your iPad to download whatever? It's your account, and entering a password insures you are in control.

Why is my Apple ID still disabled when supposedly was fixed by apple httsupport this am over 12 hours agora dithery said it would be disabled no longer then 8 hours and I still am unable to buy anything in the I tunes store or pay for any apps or games

Why is my Apple ID still disabled when supposedly it was fixed by Apple ID support over the phone this am over 12 hours ago and they said it ( my Apple ID and password) would be disabled no longer then 8 hours and I still am unable to buy anything in the I tunes store or pay for any apps or games.

We are fellow users here on these forums. Have you tried logging out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logged in and seeing if it then works ?

Why does the hdmi adapter(purchased from apple for $40) no longer mirror my iPad 2?

Why does the hdmi adapter(purchased form Apple for $40) no longer mirror my ipad 2? If ios6 prevents this, will they return my money?

Does this involve iPhoto in any way? I believe you need to post in a different forum - and since these are strictly uuser to user forums answers about what Apple does or will do are not likely nor reliaible - you need to contact Apple for Apple answers

You really have a question for iPhone support here, so I suggest that you post in the appropriate support area:
Using iPhone
The experts over there will likely suggest that you use the Apple Troubleshooting Guide for iOS devices, so you might want to work your way through that before you post in the iPhone support area.

Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

I think they want you to upgrade to the new Iphone or get the Iphone c or s
Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8. It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8. Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old. In cell phone land, that is ancient........

Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

The Apple store is correct. The warranty is not international, and Apple will not accept or return iPhones shipped from a different country. You need to ship the phone to somebody in Hong Kong who can take it in to Apple for repair, or pay a third party repair shop in the Philippines to fix it.

Why has the download/buffering speed slowed down for videos?

Why has the download/buffering speed slowed down for videos?
What can be done about it?

The problem is with your router, your internet service provider or you have a marginal connection with your router.
Locate your iPad close to your wifi router and see if the problem persists.

With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?

With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?
I usually go to bed after my wife. I have the Do Not Disturb set for 11 pm to 7 am, and I can see the moon symbol.
So why when I go to bed at midnight and plug in my iPhone to recharge do I get a LOUD BEEP?
My wife is banning my phone from being next to my bed and an alarm clock.
To me it seems that the "Do Not Disturb" should turn this beep into a vibrate.

section2i:
If that is true, then you should file that as a bug using the link above:
If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that when vibrate is 'off', and you turn on the phone and plug it in that a vibration occurs, and that it is not respecting the vibrate 'off'.
That would be a slightly different issue from what I am asking about (Do Not Disturb), and would probably need a separate bug report.

Why does the app store try to charge me for free apps?

I am trying to download free apps and I keep getting sent to my account settings page. Is my phone trying to charge me for free apps?

You most likely do not have a valid form of payment entered in your Apple ID. The valid form of payment is required to download free apps or purchase apps. If the app is free you will not be charged. You can enter a credit card as a valid form of payment. If you don't want to use a credit card or don't have one, you can purchase an iTunes gift card and use that as your valid form of payment.

What's the best way to do authorization for my app?

The authorization situation is somewhat complicated for my app.
Each component of the app is authorized based on not only the user, but also the page number, the value of at least one P0_ITEM.
From what I've seen so far, there are two different options of setting the authorization for the component:
1. Set its Condition
2. Set its Security Authorization Scheme
Here is my understanding for each (from my limited experience with APEX):
1. Set its Condition
+ Can pass in parameters such as :APP_USER, page numebr, P0_ITEM. So I can just create one function that does all the authorization
- Have to combine the SQL query with the component's non-authorization display conditions, if any.
2. Set its Security Authorization Scheme
+ By name, it seems like it should be used for authorization
- Cannot take in parameters relating to the page, such as the page number --> therefore I will need to create many different schemes, for all the different pages.
#2 will end up with a long list of schemes (each with its own SQL queries) for different pages, which doesn't seem as efficient as #1 with far fewer SQL queries and just take in parameters.
Which one should I pick?
Thanks!

Thanks fac586 for the detailed response, and also everyone else who replied. You guys are very helpful and respond promptly. And we'd appreciate it if you changed "953006" into a real handle promptly.
Andre mentioned using conditions:
The way I work around this is to have two functions, one which is used at the page level as a normal authorization scheme and one which can be passed variables which is called as a Condition and the name of the item is one of the variables, in effect giving it "self awareness".But fac586 said:
You can't pass "parameters" to authorization schemes. Use application items, APEX collections or application contexts to set current context before the authorization scheme is evaluated, and access these values in the functions.Does this mean, fac586, that we can avoid conditions altogether? No, it means that I prefer to use Authorization Schemes to control access to resources based on user privileges and security, and Conditions to control rendering and processing for functional reasons. Using the approach described above I have found it possible to maintain this separation.
Say if a page has two buttons, Button_A and Button_B. Button_A has a set of requirements for displaying and Button_B has its own set of requirements (some of which are shared with Button_A). So far, the only way that I can see of using pure authorization is to write 2 different authorization schemes, and set the authorization schemes for the two buttons respectively.What's the problem with that? Consider a more concrete example using a standard APEX report/form pattern for customer maintenance. Page 6 contains the report, and page 7 is the maintenance form with P7_CREATE and P7_SAVE buttons. Only users entitled to create new customers should have access to P7_CREATE, and only users able to edit customers access to P7_SAVE. This would be controlled by the CREATE_CUSTOMER and EDIT_CUSTOMER authorization schemes respectively. Functionally, conditions are used to show P7_CREATE if the P7_CUSTOMER_ID is null, and P7_SAVE if it's not null. We don't mix non-functional security considerations with functional requirements.
The CREATE_CUSTOMER and EDIT_CUSTOMER authorization schemes are of type PL/SQL Function Returning Boolean. These are implemented using package functions. Exactly how a user has create/edit customer privilege is determined in the package. Determinants that are shared by multiple schemes can be combined at this level. These implementations can be changed as necessary without requiring changes to the application.
The authorization schemes are reusable across pages and components. On page 6, CREATE_CUSTOMER can be used on the "Create New Customer..." button; EDIT_CUSTOMER on the report column containing the "Edit" links.
Each component of the app is authorized based on not only the user, but also the page number, the value of at least one P0_ITEM. So I guess this goes back to my original concern with Authorizations:
[Using purely authorizations] will end up with a long list of schemes (each with its own SQL queries) for different pages [and page items] ....
Re: VPD policies. Note that in the example above there's no need for the authorization schemes to "know" which pages/items are being evaluated. The P7_SAVE button and the page 6 link column are involved with the EDIT_CUSTOMER operation, so that authorization scheme is applied to them.
