Can't download apps without credit card.

UPDATE:

When I went to the apple Store to return the gifcard or get it credited to the "unverified" account, I went through the process to let it ready for the "Account Setup" guy:

The first time I entered the giftcard: it said "A credit card is required blah blah blah, NO "none" button.

I re-submited the same thing, under the risk of being called crazy by trying the same thing expecting a different result, and THE "NONE" BUTTON APPEARED.

When I tried it at home I DID try it twice, (I like to be sure so when I write here I can do it with authority feeling 🙂 )

The difference with the time I did it from home must be the wifi. Theirs must be "allowed" because they assume you were there, to give your full info, and even if you paid cash and lied about all your info (I never did, but I bet they ask you for an ID), they'd get your face in all the security cameras, and but at home (and using proxies as I do) it WONT allow it.

So there is your solution:

Go to the AppleStore and add the gifcard to your account while physically there, using their wifi.

It's a shame because people who don't have a Card, like my brother, lives in remote places too, where the closest AppleStore is two hours away.

Good luck everyone.

How pls do tell im having v bad trouble trying to down lode app's 1st i gave them my visa details then i closed the account & still it wouldt even let me downlode free app's it's bad as on most other ph's has no prob's with this !!!!

Is this a new account ? If it is then whether card details need to be entered before the account can be used depends upon how the account was created e.g. whether or not you used these instructions : Create or use your Apple ID without a payment method - Apple Support

What does 'won't let me' mean ? What happens when you try to change the card ? If you are getting an error message what does it say ?

Changing/removing payment info : Change or remove your Apple ID payment information in the iTunes Store - Apple Support

If you have an outstanding balance, you must pay that off

before you will be able download anything including updates

and free apps.

Hello friends, I think there is one solution.always use one email id. When u started the tablet or phone which email was used, only use that email to download apps.no need of credit card.it asks for credit card for new apple id. I hope it will help you.:)

Thank you Sersoft! Using the plain vanilla over the counter VISA card was just what the doctor ordered. I only had a couple of dollars on it, and it is not loss whatsoever letting Apple have the Credit Card number. 🙂

This eventually worked. My school only wants to download FREE apps, seems very petty of Apple (I know why), but we do buy using vouchers. It is very inconvenient setting up iPADs. I had to try this method several times before the "NONE" button magically appeared. Just keep trying to sign in to iTunes with your Apple ID and "review", till it appears.

It still won’t work I put none it says none but every time I try to download something or even just update something it says I have to log in and review my billing information which I do and it just keeps saying that every time and I don’t know what to do. It’s not saying anything like try a new address or credit card declined it’s not saying anything just making me do it over and over again I’m really confused

Can you tell us how you solved it?

I just used an empty Visa vanilla card and it worked, just use any empty prepaid credit card that has the Visa, Amex or Mastercard logo.

Ramiro14 how solved it ?
