Why my payment info. is asked in App Store even I want to download a free app. Is it mandatory now to update the payment info in App Store in ios 8?

Why I am asked to update my payment info while downloading a FREE APP from App Store? I noticed this change after updating to iOS 8.

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.

    Why am I asked for account details for a free app?

    For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
    Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

  • Why am i being asked for my billing information when i want to download a free app?

    Why am I being asked for my billing information when i want to download a free app?

    Because you have not entered billing information and it is required to confirm you are in the country which you are attempting to acquire content from.

  • 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?

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    The RAW files I just downloaded on new MacBook Pro are designated as JPEG in the photo info box. Why??

    How did you download? Have you been using the Import panel?
    How is the pop-up selector for the "Raw+Jpeg" set?
    If you are importing raw+jpeg pairs, and you set this to (Use Jpeg as original), then you will see a little J on the thumbnail, otherwise a R.
    Or did ou import with Jpeg only?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • HT1918 request billing info by itune when I want to download a free application

    I have an apple ID with choosing None for billing information when I was created about 2 years ago. from last week when I wanted to download a free applicatin by itune from App store, a message was appeared that said " You must verify your payment info before you can make purchases " while that apps is free and when I continued and went to my account and choose None from Payment Type again then the message came up and said " For assistanse, contact iTune Support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/." then the instalation was stoped. I tried to re choose my billing information with None option for many times (because I dont want to set any billing information regarding to my kids mis-using) by several devices like iphone & Mac Book Pro & Air but everythings was the same and my problem was remained. Please help me to find a solution that I can use my account like before when billing informations was not needed.

I try to set all of my account for several times but still I have the problem like before! what should I do?

    Hi.
    I'm not sure of it's still possible to choose 'None' under payment method. Besides, I'm sure you would like to be able to buy paid Apps as well.
    Try edit your payment information from a PC/Mac instead of your phone.
    Open iTunes > Choose 'iTunes Store' > Upper right corner, select your account or 'Sign in' > (When signed in) Click your account and go to 'Settings'.
    Make sure your credit card qualify for use in the Apple Store.
    Best regards.

  • ERROR MESSAGE: "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."

    I just sigend up for Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm trying to install Photo Shop onto my desktop computer.  When I click the download button I receive an error message saying "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."  I cannot move forward with the download.  Any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem?
    Thanks.

    In my case it's Illustrator and I'm trying to reinstall it. Clearing the cache and using another browser were no help. When I use IE instead of Chrome, an authentication dialog opens to ask permission for CC Desktop to launch, but when I "Allow" it, all that happens is that the CC app opens and gives no indication of a dowload or installation taking place.
    I've always been a strong advocate of CC and was one of the earliest adopters (May 2012), but this is the end of the love affair. I need this fixed immediately. I have work to do. If I had a set-up file sitting on my computer or a disk, I would have no problem right now.

How do I update the payment for that charge?  I looked at my payment information and it has my credit card information.  I'm not sure where to update the payment that was associated with my PayPal account?  I am not sure what that paid for?  I am trying to process updates on my IPhone &amp; IPad for apps.

    Hi Xellana, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I'm looking for information and pricing on possibly upgrading the processor from the PowerPC to Intel.
    While anything is possible if you had enough money... NOPE, you can't change the CPUs to Intel, nor can you get any faster PPC upgrades for it. It'd be far cheaper to buy a new IntelMac than to replace everything inside the G5, and I mean just about everything, then figure out how to machine the case & such to mount Intel Logic Board, Graphic Card & such.
    Sorry.
