Why must I provide payment details for Free Aps?

To prove you are in the country whose app store you are trying
to use. Not all apps are available in all countries, and some
countries have no AppStore. Also some apps have in-app
purchases and information is necessary to make those purchases.
Purchase an iTunes card and redeem it in your account -
that will allow you to download free apps without credit
info. Check to see if available in your country.

  • Why do i need payment informations for free games

    why do I need payment information for free games?

    You can create an iTunes account without payment info on file.
    Once you have a card on file, though, iTunes wants it to be current/valid. Don't think there's any way around it.

  • Why do I have to pay for free aps?

    Why do I have to pay for free ads. I look in my bank
    Statements and says they charge like 3 dollars but the ad
    Says free. This isnt right nor is it fair I already paid 300
    For the itouch why charge me for the free aps. It's not like I
    Don't buy things from the ap store. No I don't not download
    Pro -aps.

    The price of an app, and how it is marketed, is controlled by that app's developer. They certainly may advertise that an app is free, but the App Store price is the only price. If the App Store says the app is free (ie, the download button says "Free" instead of listing a price), then it's free.
    If you are seeing a bill in your bank statement for a free app, that is probably coming from some kind of in-app purchase. Many apps have additional features or special game items that can be purchased within the app. A free app may still have such in-app purchases.
    It's important to note that in-app purchasing should be a very transparent process. It should be made clear that you are making a purchase, and you should have to enter your Apple ID password. If you have found an app that does not make this process transparent, and hides the fact that a purchase with real money is being made, that needs to be reported to Apple as a violation of the App Store rules. If Apple agrees with you, they will remove the app from the store until the developer submits a more compliant update.

  • HT201303 Why do I have to put payment verification in for free aps?

    Why do I have to put payment verification in for free aps?

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • Why am i asked to give credit card details for free apps

    I just bought an ipad mini. Why is it asking me to give credit card details for free apps like Linkedin?

    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.)

  • How do I find the option of 'no payment'?It is not available on the payment type page.I wanna download a free app without providing payment details at present.

    I wanna download an app without providing payment details.But unable to find the 'no payment' option on the page.What should I do?

    Hi Aaradhya2002,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If the account you are using has already been created, you will have to add a payment method to verify the account. You can add the payment method and then remove it directly after it is added. If the account has not yet been created, please use the following article for instructions on how to create the account without a payment method.

  • Why apple does not provide the apps for free as samsung doing ??

    why apple does not provide the apps for free as samsung doing ??

    how the same app is for buy and in the other hand in android OS its free
    Free Android apps are generally stuffed full of adverts that drain 75% of the phone battery. See:
    http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/android-app-ads-account-for-up-to-75-percent- of-battery-drain/19168
    Would you prefer to pay $0.99 for an app or lose 75% of your battery life?

  • Why app store is asking to vertify payment info for free products?

    Why app store is asking to vertify payment method even for free products? And after that I still can not download any free products from the store.

    Verifying payment method validates your Apple ID.  You need to do this even if the charge is zero.  Can't get around it.

  • How do i set up payment details for my sons apple id if he is 12

    How do I set up the payment details part when trying to set up my sons apple id if he is 12 years of age?

    Your son has to 13 to have his own apple id according to the apple terms of agreement. You can create an apple id for yourself tho. A second one if you already have one. Then you can use prepaid itunes card or credit card or debit card if you like.

  • My country lacks of information about businesses and streets, to mention some.  I want to provide my time for free to help populate this information and make Apple Maps useful in Costa Rica.

    I love using Siri and your maps.  But in Costa Rica, your maps lack of businesses data, and Siri is unable to provide any information about them, since this information is missing.  I want to offer my time and work for free to help to populate this information in Costa Rica, starting by capital city San José.  Google is much more advanced in the subjet, and I don´t see fair how complete this information is for United States and not the rest of the customers (not to make critic, just pinpointing a fact). 
    Who do I contact in order to make this offer?
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Frank

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
    As to volunteering to help, you can report issues via the Report A Problem under the main menu in Maps:
    Apple does not otherwise recruit users to assist with data correction, in part because they get the data from other companies. It's possible that there is no such compendium source of data for Costa Rica, at least one that Apple has yet been able to strike an agreement with.
    Regards.

  • HT2736 How does a content provider obtain a redemption code to provide to others for free downloads of their own content

    How does a content provider obtain a redemption code to provide to others for a free iTunes download of their own content. This would be similar to what Starbucks does. However, it would the actual content provider and not a third party.

    Same issue. We produce a number of Podcasts and are about to launch a national print campaign to promote them under a single brand identity.
    I tried that method already as well, but got the response back that I needed to contact a different department using the "report this podcast" link associated with the Podcast in iTunes (which, of course, doesn't have any options for anything close to this type of request.) Been 48 hours and no response yet. Anyone had any success with this?

Seewww.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 8 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID"
    Thanks

    Are you using WiFi (as opposed to cellular data) when you try the download?
    The download is too big to be done using cellular data.
