How do I create an Apple ID without payment info?

I'm attempting to create an Apple ID, it's asking for payment information. I don't have a credit/debit card to put in there. But I see that there is a option to select 'None' on the payment info for some people, I don't have that.

How do I get the Apple ID without providing payment information?
I've been trying for days, I don't even want to buy anything, I just want the ID.

If you only want the free iPhone apps, take a look here:

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.

Note that this only applies to the App Store; you will not be able to get any of the free content in the iTunes Store without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

Regards.

You mean you are attempting to create an iTunes account.
AppleID does not require any payment info.

See this -> Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
