Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My iTunes does not offer the "none" in the payment type option. Any suggestions as to how to set up account without a credit card?

I was following article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -- it instructs me to select 'none' for payment type.


I (my teen) do not have a credit card. I want to download free apps and use gift cards to purchase music.


Any suggestions as to how to set up account without credit card?


Thank you,

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.0.1

Did you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page when creating the account ? I've just tried it on my Mac's iTunes and the instructions still work e.g. find a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' button, and on the popup click on 'create apple id' - when you get to the payment details screen you should see the 'none' option.

You've tried following the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts, including partially created accounts) : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor… ? They worked when I created a new account earlier today when checking in response to another thread
