Seems Apple requires you have a payment method listed in your Apple ID account for the first time you use the app store or iTunes, even if you only download free apps.


Find out how to pay an unpaid order.

If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support


See what payment methods are available in your country or region ...
