Have you ever made purchases or downloaded content to this device before? If you set up an Apple ID and didn't want to use a credit card with the ID, then you set the ID up incorrectly.

Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.


Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.


Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.



Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.
