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.

Hi imwright29,

Thanks for your answer, but I'm afraid it doesn't work. I tried everything you mention - free app, download, apple ID, new account - but when i click "none" for payment and fill in name, address and click next, it says I need to contact Itunes support to complete the transaction. It looks like it worked a few years ago, but not now.

I'm really frustrated about this and am starting to question if I wasted all my money on the ipod.

Sad.

Guys,

There is no other GO :

1) start the registration process

2) Enter ur valid personel details + a valid credit/debit card number. Which will successfully finish your registration .

3) Click on the registered id at the left cornor of the iTunes screens ---> Click on Accounts ---> Payment Information Edit -----> Now make this NONE.

It worked for me 🙂

Apple ID's are FREE:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObj…

Click there to sign up and make a FREE account. You don't need a credit card to download a FREE app.

I just made up this ID (SaryAW), and here is the way:

I installed itunes, clicked on App Store, tried to install iBook (free app), it asked me to sign in or create an ID, signing in did not work so I clicked on create new apple ID (with a different email adress ofcorse), gave my info and when asked about billing info I chose none (it was available but last time when creating without trying to download a free app it was not available), it asked me to confirm via a mail message and I did, then went back to itunes and it said Congratulations! then clicked continue shopping and everything went well.

Got the steps from apple itself:

Thanks to you all.

I just registered a new apple id/account without giving out any CC information so my daughter can get free apps on her ipod.

I need help I been trying to get on my app store on my iPad mini and it keeps asking me for a credit card I was wondering if you can help me out

Jul 23, 2013 8:01 AM in response to Kaylalove21

Okay so for those who already created an Apple ID and want to keep your credit card off of apple. The best thing I have found so far is to go to walmart target etc and purchase an $10 (or more/less) (if you want use cash to purchase). Once you have that giftcard, you can enter the code into the Giftcard section when it ask you to enter in information. Once you have entered a valid code and billing address a "none" option should appear beside the credit cards. If it doesn't click continue at the bottome and then it should show up (it did for me) and there you go. I know it is a little insane but if you really don't want Apple to have your credit card info you can purchase 5 or 10 itunes gift card. That is the only way I know that will work for existing Apple IDs. I hope this helps!
