"This apple ID has not yet been used with the app store."

I went through same process. Apparently you cannot go in without giving your credit card information. So here is one trick.

Go in with your original id when it asks for review.

Enter your card information and create the account

Open itunes and go in to your account.

Your card will be mentioned there. Edit information and remove card.

Card information is not saved anymore and account is created. No need to do anything else.

Hi..bzischarles

You need to click on review link after showing message that this apple ID is not used before. On click review you will be redirect to new page of your apple ID and ask to fill up some remaining information like payment or credit card. First fill up all details and verify your payment method. After that you able to purchase from app store.

Apple first need to verify your payment method to fully access app store. so first click on review button and proceed to next steps.

you need to add your payment method first. its doesn't affect your bank account or apple account here is the different way to add payment method

Payment methods you can use in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

There isn't anything wrong with your Apple ID, you just haven't created an iTunes account using this Apple ID. You need to press Review (3rd image above) and go through each page to confirm and supply the necessary information to use this Apple ID to purchase content from the iTunes stores; Music, iOS apps, movies, games, Mac Apps, books. etc.

I was trying to set up an iPad for my mom with an Apple ID I created on the website which had credit card info set up already. The Apple ID worked for setting up the iPad, but when I went to download an app, I got a pop up box asking if I wanted to use an exisiting ID or create a new one. I selected use existing. Then entered the ID and password.

I got that dreaded pop-up box, "This Apple ID has not been used in the App Store." It claimed I needed to review the account. I hit "review," then it took me through what basically seems like the steps to set up a New Apple ID. It had my mom's current Apple ID listed as the email and her birthdate, but asked for a password and answer to a secret question. I enetered the correct answers, hit submit, and then was told "this Apple ID already exists" -- DUH!!

I read a few threads and tried a number of things, considered going to the Apple Store, and I was even tempted to just create a whole new Apple ID on that screen, but figured it'd be a bigger pain in my butt than figuring out a way around this glitch.

Then, while I was waiting for Apple Support to answer my call, I went to my laptop's iTunes and logged out of my account, then logged in with my mom's Apple ID that her iPad had been rejecting. It gave me the same pop-up about not having been used in iTunes before, but this time when I hit review, it took me to the account info and just asked me to re-enter the credit card security code.

Once that was done, and I had successfully signed into iTunes on my laptop, I went back to the iPad and tried to download the same app, and whaddaya know, it freakin worked this time!! No pop-up!!!! YAY!! Didn't even have to talk to Apple Support.

Hope this helps some of you!

So I had just the same problem - I had just bought an used MacBook Air and I already had an existing Apple ID, used f.e. in Apple Developer

After clicking "Review" in this alert, nothing happened. So this is a bug which Apple could fix in their free time.

How to solve it?

You have to register your Apple ID on your own, simply by opening iTunes and trying to sign in trough it. It will ask you for some billing details - and after it, everything should be fine.

jtomaszewski solution works! 🙂

If during system installation, after clicking "Review" in alert, nothing happened:

1) Install ITunes on different machine f.e. Windows or Mac.

2) Login to installed ITunes using Apple ID.

3) Fill required fields, You must enter your credit or debit cart. (I think You can remove it later.)

4) Run again system installation, after typing Apple ID alert will not be shown and installer will start downloading files.

Thanks, You save my day 😁

I had a problem in which I was stuck trying to setup the apple id with the app store. It was telling me to contact support all the time.

In case anyone else has this problem, I solved it by manually opening iTunes and logging in it.

Go through the process of buying some music from itunes. It will ask you to review your details but will work. Once you've done that, cancel the purchase and go back to the app store. It should work.

This doesn't work for me: Clicking 'Review' does nothing.

The tip to open the store through the iTunes app and go through the signup process there fixed it for me.

I had this problem too with my iphone 5 and i was desperate since I read pretty much eveyrthing on the topic and nothing helped. Funny was that my brother get the same iphone bought in the same country in the same store and he didnt have a problem, but i did. We finally solved it.

If you have an iphone as is our case you mustnt register by computer or by "Itunes and appstore at settings. The possibility of not choosing a creditcard will not be there. What you need is to go to Appstore (on your iphone), choose a freeapp and start to download, than a message that you need to register will pop up and this time it will be possible to choose "no payment".

This is only for thoose with the same problem on iphone.

I know my english is very bad, for what i apologise, however i hope this will help you.

Apple makes it so hard to use the store without a credit card. Just go to the apple store and download a free app. After you click on download it will ask to create or use an existing ID, CREATE A NEW APPLE ID. After that you can use without a credit card.

Whether you want paid or free content, you still have to follow the on screen instructions and set up an iTunes account with your Apple ID.

If it doesn't work, then something is either wrong with your phone or your credit card. You could just buy a $15 iTunes card to skip the credit card, or just call Apple Support

I have created an Apple ID in Apple website. Now I dont know what to do in order to get into my account and download the updates or free softwares. hope somebody within this website help me out and send me a link, so I go in to process and get a free Application ID.
