In a positive sentence, you use "des" because it's plural.
In a negative sentence, you always use "de" (even if it's plural, feminine or otherwise). Here they used d' instead because if a word start with a vowel, clip the vowel of the article (de amis = wrong). It helps blending the words together. So remember, with "pas" it's always "de" or d'.
