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.

As already posted many man many times in ths discussion:

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

i have tried as a new account and see the credit card logos but mine does not have a none at the end. there is alos not a none on the ipad itself either. i have done this many times in the past on older ipads and computers but i have two new ipads for my kids and they do not have this options.

This is very simple. Follow these steps to get it without a credit card! :-)

Materials needed: iDevice, laptop/computer, iTunes on the laptop or computer, and your charger without the adapter.

Steps:

1) plug your iDevice to the computer/laptop.

2) open up iTunes, if you don't have it, download it here: https://apple.com/itunes/download

3) click on 'iTunes Store'

4) Go to 'App Store' from the 'iTunes store'

5) download any random app. Make sure you're logged out of any apple ID.

6) once it tells you to either create or use an apple ID, click create and apple ID.

7) Agree to the terms, then, next to the credit card information, it should have a box saying 'none'. Click that. Now you can continue making your apple ID.

Hope this helps,

change ur country to United States & it will show u the "none" option in the credit card page....& after tht Instead of making a new apple ID anywhere, you have to try to buy something free. Go to the app store, and try to download a free app. When it asks you for an apple ID, then hit make a new account. You will be able to skip the part with the credit card, and make a new account.
