Q: Creating Apple ID without credit card

Hi,

How can I create an Apple ID to use on Itunes without a credit card?  I want to get free apps for my ipod touch.

I don't want to go through giving my serial number just to contact Apple support.

 

I searched Google for an answer, and many people say an Apple ID can't be made without a credit

card but I know that's not true.  Many people already have.  The closest I've come to making an Apple ID

is clicking on a free app in Itunes, and then I start making an Apple ID account, I click "none" for payment,

and I enter address/name, and when I click next is says "Please contact Itunes support to complete

this transaction."

 

I read the Apple support article "HT2534" and it's not valid based on my experience, because

after I click "none" and fill in name/address, it says to contact "Itunes support" as mentioned above.

 

I won't tether my credit card information to my serial number and iPod because I want to read pdf

files on my iPod with privacy. 

 

When I want to buy apps, I already have an iTunes gift card to make payment, but I can't use it

without an Apple ID.

 

Help.

    Just go to the Apple Forums and sign up for an account.  That is what I just did.

    To have the "none" option for credit card info show up, 3 crucial steps to make this work:

     

    1) do it from your DEVICE (not a computer)

     

    2) sign OUT from any previous accounts on the device

     

    3) MOST important: go to APP STORE , find ANY free app, click FREE button to get it

    (NOTE: it does NOT work if you go to Settings -- iTunes and App Store -- "Apple ID" !!!)

     

    4) It will bring you to choices to Sign In etc. -- choose to create the new Apple ID, follow default prompts

    I have been using Apple ID since 2 years. The method for selecting none in credit card option is only that go to itunes store and click anyone application which is free and then it will require username and password. Click on creat new apple ID then going further and filling apple requirements, on payment method select none for credit card option. Confirm and enjoy downloading applications from apple store.
