itunes is charging me for free apps...why is that?
Does anything show on the account's purchase history for the charge (apps with 'get' instead of a price button are free to download) ? Has she trie removing the card : Change or remove your Apple ID payment information - Apple Support ?
The app had 'get' instead of a price button and it shows on your iTunes account's purchase history (See your purchase history in the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC - Apple Support) ? Or is it a temporary store holding charge or have you done an in-app purchase in the game ?
My sister is having the same problem. She has contacted apple as well as the bank but no one seems to be able to help her. she just wants to stop being charged $15 everytime she down loads a free app.
They aren't, you are not charged for downloading free apps.
Have you looked at your iTunes account's purchase history ?
Or are you adding/changing payment details on an account and receiving temporary store holding charges to check that the card details are correct and valid ?
They are. I can't update free apps without providing valid payment options. This isn't happening for ALL updates, just a random few here and there and then the update will go through even without a payment. It's like a random lottery thing.
No they are not, app updates are free to download, and they have always been free to download. If you remove your payment method form your account does that stop you downloading app updates ? Do you owe iTunes money ? Does anything show on your iTunes account's purchase after downloading an update ?
Why do you think that you are being charged for free apps?
Welcome to the forums.
Sometimes an app has a free version and a paid version. Be sure you are getting the right "free" version.

no man i am entering the free apps and trying to download some...but they keep asking for my visa card and stuff !!
That doesn't mean they are going to charge you, do you have an account setup? You can create an account without a CC if you're only interested in the paid ones.
yea i already have an account,,,and i was downloading apps,,,but all of a sudden 2 days ago i was trying to download a free app,,,so they asked me for my visa card password,,,so now i cant download any free ones!
visa password or your iTunes account password? Is this within the app store? Maybe a screenshot would help
hold on it ddnt work
