Why when I want to make a simple purchase, am I asked for personal info? Like a phone number.

Invasion of privacy. I left the item rather than give up the info

Hello User486289, 
Welcome to the Community Forums!
I'm very sorry to hear that you left your item and walked out. I understand that you might not wanted to give us your phone number, but it is part of the information that we collect as per our Privacy Policy seen here.

    There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
    1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
    As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

    Change your payment method to None > iTunes Store: Changing account information
    Downgrading is not an option.

  • Why won't App Store let me download free apps it asks for billing info?

    It asks for my billing info when downloading a free app and there's no way I can sort it out it shouldn't ask for billing info if it's free!!!!!!!!

    Is this a new account, and if so how did you create it ? If it is new then unless you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then card details will need to be entered before you will be able to use the account to download any item from the store (paid-for or free).

  • My broadband line is used when i want to make free...

    My landline number is working and i can receive incoming calls but when i want to make calls from that number using my free evening and weekend package i cant, it always diverts to my broadband number so i'm paying ?
    I think its probably a connection / set up problem, i've got a bt home hub and use that handset, with a 2nd handset thats not connected to a phone socket
    Any ideas?

    i had the same problem for just over a month i was being charged for calls when i had the unlimited option i rang bt several times to find out why this was and not a single person told me the problem.
    Originally i had a fault and couldnt recive any incomming or out going calls so i rang bt on my mobile.  They fixed the incomming calls but still couldnt make out going calls so i rang them again and again this was fixed .... i noticed the dial tone had changed so again i rang no one offered me any explanation as to why the dial tone had changed they were simply more than happy that i was making and reciving calls.
    Then my bill arrived WOW what a shock no calls were free!!! So  again i rang i got a sorry and my bill re funded but still i hear the unusal tone.  So i  ring again the people over in the call centre in india didn't know what the problem was and left me to it again!
    Another bill came and yet again i was charged so i sent an email this time again they didnt know the problem.
    I rang again and this time got a woman with an irish accent who told me i was making calls from my broadband line i said i didnt request this and i certainly dont want it.  she told me to press 5 on the phone that will take it away and it was MY FAULT  i was being charged and i would not be reciveing a refund on my bill,  in fact she was rather nasty again excellent customer service on behalf of bt.
    So my advice to you is get rid of braodband talk and make sure u have pressed 5 on your hub phone and hear the normal dialing tone.

  • Why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?

    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.

  • I cannot make a simple purchase of a $.99 of Beethoven's 9 symphony 4th Movement. When I click on the orchestra, a pop-up states "connecting - loading" and nothing happens. When I click on "View iTunes" for this selection, nothing happens.

    AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

    Hello there, RobenCaatje.
    The following Knowledge Base article is specific for the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Specifically:
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • HT201210 when I want to make a call show me the call back page and i cant make call

    when I want to make a call show me the call back page and i cant make call

    You helped me a lot, man!
    I've been having the same problem for a long time ever since I changed to a new phone provider with a new sim which works with other phone except my iPhone 4.  I just wouldn't make call but can send SMS and receive calls.  Now, when I turned off 'call waiting' I could make phone calls.  Thanks a million again!
    P.S. When I turn on 'call waiting' again I could make call without problem any more.  What a heck!

  • I want to make a simple line chart

    i want to make a simple line chart using the data in two nonadjacent columns.
    it seems that the easiest way to do this is to export the sheet to google docs and use THEIR charting, which is a two-click deal.
    is there an easy way to do this in numbers?
    my impression:
    numbers:
    very fancy, super pretty, easy to modify APPEARANCE, difficult to use actual charts. custom paint job on a junker
    googledocs:
    available everywhere, basic, more difficult with actual data flexibility, but you can use what you've got.
    the whole emphasis on numbers seems to be how pretty i can make displays, but not a lot of emphasis on making it easy to make things work.
    can anyone shed some light on how to make this simple instead of pretty?

    You can definitely use the technique I mentioned to order the columns to make it easy to chart:
    Here I created a table (the top one) to hold the original data and make a second table (the lower one) to pull data into two adjacent columns:
    The bottom table, as I said pulls data from the top data table:
    Then highlight the data in the table to chart, and selec the chart type from the menu (I suggest the bar chart which is the first item in the chart tool menu):
    I made up this data and mean it to be no reflection on your running ability
