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.

Get the itunes gift card and redeem. I did that and don't have a credit card.

This worked. I am setting up an IPad for timekeeping out in the field and the last thing I wanted to do was to associate a credit card with the IPad so that the employees could buy stuff. Thank you!

To create an apple ID without a credit card:

For a computer. Im on windows 7 on PC. go to redeem at the bottom of the itunes store home page. when it asks you to sign in.click create apple ID, and fill out the info. there should be a none botton next to the available credit cards you can use. Click the none botton and continue.

When i tried to create an apple id account regularly on the itunes store, it didnt show the "None" botton. make sure to create an account from "Redeem".

I dont know why this works. its wierd.

Hope this helps
