How To Convert Apple ID to Free iTunes Account
In iTunes I clicked on a free app and logged in using the apple ID when prompted. iTunes store tells me that this apple id hasn't been used before in the iTunes store and asks me to verify the apple id. I follow the steps but when it gets to the details for the account it does not give me the option to select "None" as a payment option (this is a free app afterall) so I cannot progress to finish creating a "free" account.
I also cannot delete the apple ID on the website and start from scratch. Apple holds this data forever it seems.
Is there a way to convert this apple ID to a free iTunes account?
