Q: When I try to set up my apple id on my iPhone(3), it tells me that my id haven't been used as an iTunes id, already, and that I have to set it up to use it. What should I do?

    Hey matsrutger,

     

     

    This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):

     

    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731

     

    Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.

     

    - Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.

     

    - Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

     

    For more information:

    Thanks,

    You need to sign up on the website not the app

    I have the same problem.

     

    I created an apple account some time ago. Now I wanted to login with my existed account and need to connect a creditcard to it. (I DONT HAVE A CREDITCARD!) But i dont have one of the options where i can choose of. So I want it like how it was before. I can't create a new account because my Snow Leopard is already connected with my account. And i want to upgrade it to Mavericks now.  (Why is apple not adding paypal or ideal to it, this is so stupid.)
