IPhone is making me verify payment details to download a free app. Is this a scam?
My email that I used to log into my phone was hacked a month or so ago. I changed the email address linked to my phone and ever since then I keep getting messages pop up on my phone to "Verify password". I just tried to download a free app, and now it's asking for me to verify payment details? Is this normal since I just changed email addresses or should I report it?
Added (1). I forgot to mention… When my email was hacked, so was my facebook and other accounts that were connected to that email address. That's why I'm so afraid that my phone is hacked too.
Your phone wasn't hacked. This is normal for iTunes, quit being a drama queen.
Even though it's a free app, you still need to enter your Apple password. Your phone isn't hacked but your need to go into iTunes and properly set up your password and verify to your new email. Until you do, you won't be able to download any apps, including the free ones.
- Why am I being asked for card payment to update and download free apps (iPhone)? I've reviewed other people's comments re the same problem on apple support and the only answer was to use the 'none' option when selecting card type but no such option is available?
- What iphone app is great for making a collage with about 20 photos for free? I want to make a photo collage but the only apps I find have a limit on how many photos you can add. I need to find an app that's free and full version, most apps make you pay for the whole version. Which iphone app is free and has a complete version?
- This payment method can't be used with the iTunes Store. Try again using another payment method. I get this error when adding PayPal? As a payment method. I live in the US and this is an option. I've contacted my bank, iTunes and PayPal and they say their is no problems at their ends so what is going on and how can I fix this. Btw I use to use PayPal as a payment method
- No none option in itunes store.can't refresh my payment details? I have an iphone here in pakistan. And i use to buy few apps through my visa card.buy sometimes apple would not accept my card details. Even though every things was correct. So i would select the "none" option in options and confirm. And then reenter the same card details and apple used to accept it. But now i don't find the none option for this workaround. I would appreciate alot if someone can help. My details are valid.
