    You are following the instructions on that page exactly (and you are creating a new account) i.e. selecting a free app in the store and selecting 'create Apple ID' when 'buying' it ? I've just tried it and I get the None option on the payment details screen.

    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.

    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.
