How to make itunes account without using credit card?

Did you follow the instructions on this page exactly for creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. you selected a free app in the store and clicked on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it ?

The 4 steps from Chris Bainchi in prior post works like a charm. 🙂 He outlined the steps for ipads however it works identically for the iphone as well.

It's unforutnate that Chris had to stumble across this. However, glad he did as we are all able to benefit from it.

Apple should make this information readily available for individuals like me who want to set up itunes accounts on our kid's iphones and ipads so they can download free apps without the need for a credit card...

Great job Chris!! I just finished spending the last 24hrs trying to figure out how to get this "none" option to show up.

Thank You SOOO Much! These steps worked perfectly!

I hope someone at Apple realizes just how annoying this whole situation is. Seriously, what's the deal with not being able to bypass the credit card requirement unless it's a full moon, during the height of the summer equinox, while standing on your head, etc. Why can't you just bypass this requirement REGARDLESS of how the account is being set up.

I can't begin to tell you how much trouble this whole bit of nonsense is causing for our MDM rollout.

very helpful. thanks a lot!!!

Thank you IDOL! <3

how many times do people have to tell you???? THERE IS NO OPTION FOR NONE !!!!

See this -> Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

You will get the 'none' option if you follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

If you don't use those instructions then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5295285?answerId=24303054022#24303054022

If not (and if you don't have or don't want to enter credit card details) then you will need to create a new account, and this time use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
