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.

HI you seem as you know much about alike problems so iam asking you that i went to the website you told about but my problem is that i had my id made from a shop and the man who made it knew the password so i think he is the one who was using it earlier and now has changed the password

so i want to first remove old one and make new one instead now tell me how to destroy old one pleasssss

Follow this link, it worked in my case

Nov 28, 2013 2:47 AM in response to Apple8854

Got to the page with the "None" option on both my mac and my phone, filled in all the relevant spaces, but it simply has red text saying "For assistance, contact iTunes support at...", and I'm pretty sure it's the none option because selecting any other option gives a normal error for not filling in card number.

Anyone else have this problem?

I get the SAME exact error "For assistance, contact iTunes support at..."
Have you found out a way to get around this? Anyone?
