Tried loggiung into iTunes with newly created apple ID (I have a new phone) and it states " You have not used this ID before aty itunes, Please Review"


So I accept the Terms and Conditions, Review my email address and password and security and DOB. Click next and it States" You must yuse a valid email address (for example mac@example.com)." Obviously thinking my email address is missing a character that makes it an email address. So it is just stuck here, and I can not download apps? Any help appreciated.

Seems like the bottom line is that you have to have a credit card on file to receive gifts, which seems inane. I've got a verified email on an account and tried selecting "None" as the card type in payments, and still can't receive a gift (the giver gets that same error).


Kind of stupid. Why do I need a credit card to receive gifts?
