How to active itunes/App account without using credit card?
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
The instructions are in this kb article.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store and iBookstore and Mac App Store account without a credit card.
The key to this is that you MUST try download a free app first and then create the account from the resulting window that pops up asking if you already have an iTunes account.
Once you have created an account, there is no way to select "None" as the option. By that time, you have to enter a credit card, have it verified by Apple, then subsequently remove it.
If you already set up an Apple ID - and you don't care if you have two ID's - sign out of the ID that you created in Settings>Store>Apple ID. Then try to download a free app and see if the process will work for you and let you create an account without the credit card.
Sorry, I read all the instruction, created a new Apple ID, clicked on a free app to download, but the iTunes store gives me no opportunity to choose "None" for a payment method.
I tried it about 8 times, each time reading your instructions. IT DOESN'T WORK!
Sorry to say, but there is a serious glitch in the instructions. If you are able to do it that's wonderful, but too many times folks of this forum are not able to explain to ordinary people (non-gurus) how to do it.
For example, I came across the instruction "Choose Store > Sign In from the App Store menu." I did 30 minutes of google search to find that the App Store menu is under the Apple Menu. The fact is, people are not born with this knopwledge. Someone who know has to know how to explain to those who don't know. That's the problem.
You did it the wrong way around. You have to choose and try to buy the app BEFORE you create the ID. Please read and follow Diavonex's steps.

You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details (pay special attention to #1 and #7)
1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one.
2. Go to App Store and select a free app
3. Tap INSTALL APP
4. Create New Apple ID
5. Confirm Your Country
6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
7. Fill in your new Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
8. Create and answer your secret question
9. Select NONE for Payment Method
10. Fill in Billing Address
11. Submit application for new Apple ID
12. Wait for verification email
13. When email arrive, verify your account
14. Start downloading your free apps
This does work. I've done it many times when setting up people on their first Apple device.
Yes, it does work 🙂

I need this answered. I may have a friend who will purchase an iTunes Gift Card from the UK. I live here in US so..... if I sign out and make a new account for UK store how would I go about? Am I good can I bypass the Credit Card Info? Also if I do make the account and get the money on there is there like some server thing that won't let me download Music and such from that Country? All I need is like 15 songs ONLY over there. Hard to find over here but if anyone can help.

You can't, since there is no iTunes Store for Bangladesh, and you are not allowed to use any other country's iTunes Store. Sorry, but unless and until Apple is able to open an iTunes Store in Bangladesh or you move to another country that has an iTunes Store, you will not be able to make purchases.
Regards.
they are not any none option so how can i choose that plz help me
