Mac App Store - No Credit Card

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how the **** I'm supposed to accept the new T&C of the Mac App Store without a credit card. I do not and will not own a credit card but the option to select 'None' is not present in the Mac App Store.

Any Help? D:

iMac11,2, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

wish people would stop refering to the nonexistant none option for credit card entry, it does not exist, not on my iphone or my ipod. all the help on this site and others are refering to different versions, on my updated device there is not none option for credit card. if you want to provide helpful help on this issue use a new account with an updated device

punkkid2005,


There is nothing cool about you or your poorly written comments. Instead of telling folks off you should educate yourself so that you know of which you speak. I test everything that I post here so that I know that it works. I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S, in addition to my Macs, following Apple's instructions linked to above for creating an account with no bank card works on all of them and in every country of dozens where I have tested it. I have strated the process of creating a new iTunes account as outlined by Apple in dozens of country's iTunes App Stores on all of my devices, right up to the moment of it asking for the payment method and every time the None option is there.


The ONLY proviso is that you must follow the steps to create a new Apple ID, no, it does not work with an existing Apple ID. However, after putting the bank card info into an iTunes/MAS account for an existing Apple ID, after you finish creating the account you can go right back and remove it. That will not help those of you without your own bank card, but perhaps a parent can help.

Hey coolpunk2005, so I took some time out of my traditional afternoon siesta just for you sweetcheeks and did a little globe hoping on different devices. I visited Canada on my Mac, Ireland on my iPad and Peru on my iPhone. I started to create accounts in each of their respective iTunes Stores, as per Apple's instructions and guess what? None options in all the stores on my devices!


Here was my quick trip to Canada;

next I caught a flight to Ireland with my iPad,

then the last leg of the journey before home and a six pack of cold, refreshing Carta Blanca, the mountain republic of Peru;

Dios mio, they all had the non-existant None option. Go post your uninformed fibs somewhere else Señorito!

Hi!


I have the same problem. I registered here, and have taken steps to review information about my account on iTunes.


However, there is NO "NONE" BUTTON, so those wise guys forgot about Poland, or is it deliberate?


There is no difference between Mac users here in Poland and other countries. We'd like to enjoy those apps that are for free, too!


Anyone can account for this?


Cheers,

Iza

Rather than further referring folks to your own post at that link, it is important for you to answer my question put to you above, how does changing the email address used in the Apple ID? How can Apple then verify this account with an email? How does the email get to the fake email address that you are encouraging folks to use?


Please give us a detailed explanation of how this works (not an explanation of how to do it, you have done that farelywell.)
