Can't do App Store without "other iTunes account"

Since using MA to move to my new MBP Retina with 10.8.2, the App Store is showing me upgrades for iPhoto, iMove and Pages -- yet won't let me download them without "logging in with other iTunes account' Except I do not have and have never had "another iTunes account".
App Store upgrades work fine for the OS and other Apps, but not for these three.
What do I do?
Thank you.

FYI -- solved, but nothing on support was relevant. Three, Apple programs came pre-installed and the factory messed them up. Worked until upgrade. iLife group gave me codes to download new versions (basically, replaced the software) but Pages group had to refund my credit card charge and tell me to repurchase.
People on phone were very nice and helpful, but too app. 14 emails over a week (email support people are, ah, less skillful), dealing with countless different departments, culminating in a 53-minute phone call.

How can i register app store without credit card

how can i register app store without credit card

You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
If you don't use those instructions when creating an account then you will need to enter credit card details (which you should be able to remove after entering it) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in. I am told my ID or password is incorrect. I did change my primary email address. that is the app ID that is showing.

How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software? I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID. I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air. Where can i get on-line assistance?

If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Can I change App Store without lying to Apple or is there another way forward?

Good day,
I have registered an apple ID, setup all the required payment options, etc, but being in South Africa, didn't know how limited the South African App Store was.
I've done what I fear to be a foolish thing, without realizing the implications, told Apple the truth with regards to using the App Store and to which country I reside in.
I can't understand why the South African store is so limited in its content vs the US for example, I mean seriously, we're still paying in US dollars regardless of the fact that it's a South African regioned App Store.
Enquiries on how to solve my problem have revealed that in order to proceed, I need to represent myself fraudulently as being a US citizen. Websites galor even will offer me fake credit card details along with a valid Zip Code in order to register a new Apple ID.
I'm a straightforward sort of person and do not want to be forced to resort to fraud in order to gain access to content and an obviously more well stocked App Store.
My question is thusly, Is it possible to maintain my South African credentials, payment method being a South African credit card and gain access to the vastly better stocked content available to the US App Store without following the advise of those that advocate what I perceive to be fraud?
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I await in anticipation to your response.

The rules are straight forward ...
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

How can I use app store without credit card.... Because I don't ve it....

Plx help me... I can't download any app from the app store.... Plx tell me how cn I make an account without credit card....

If you already created an Apple ID and you are trying to finish it without using a credit card - you may have problems with that. The key to creating the ID without a credit card is to download a free app first - before you create the ID. You will be prompted to create the ID once you try to download a free app.

Can you use apps from one computer/iTunes accounts on multiple iPhones?

Hello All!
I have been using a 3G since they were released on and syncing it to one computer and one iTunes account. My wife now wants an iPhone as well. I know what Apple's policy is on music and video, but what about app sharing. *If the phone is synced with the same computer and uses the same iTunes account (on the iPhone to login), will she be able to free access to all of the applications I have previously downloaded or will she need to pay for all non-free apps?* I couldn't find an answer in the Apple knowledgebase (except for the iPhone software itself, not the 3rd-party App Store apps).
I would appreciate a quick answer, as we're thinking of picking one up tomorrow. I'd appreciate the help and thanks in advance Happy holidays!
Jim

Thanks all! I'm glad to have that answered. Apple said they couldn't answer it! Love those tech/sales support people for iTunes!!!
Happy Holidays!

Update failed causing App Store and other apps to not open anymore

HELP!!
I was trying to make a general update of OS X v10.8.2 as sugested from the App Store, but something went wrong and it showed "could'nt be updated because of a problem". Now I can't open App Store, Mail and iTunes shows a message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes". Only I can download anything anymore and the App Store won't even start!
can anyone PLEASE help?

See if you can download and install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
If not, restore OS X.
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities using OS X Recovery
From there you can restore your Mac.

Stuck in a limbo: can't install Safari or Lion/Mountain Lion, can't access App Store

If someone would take up this challenge and attempt to solve it with me, I would appreciate it! I have troubleshooted for 2 days now to no avail.
This is what happened:
1) I accidentally installed Safari 6.0, even if I have Lion 10.7. which doesn't run the new version
2) This disabled my use of Safari and my access to App Store
3) With a combination of AppDelete + Pacifist I tried deleting all Safari files, and re-installing old Safari 5.4 from scratch.
I rebooted, repaired permissions and did a disk check.
4) Rebooted again, tried to open the newly installed Safari, but it gives an error:
"Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X."
5) At this point I thought to revert back to a previous point in Time Machine. Unfortunately all the points in Time Machine somehow showed Safari 6.0 (even a month-old points), so reverting back to an old point didn't help.
6) I try logging into AppStore to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I can't do that, since it needs Safari to run and I don't have a Safari anymore!
7) Now I tried re-installing Lion from restart + cmd+R, and it asked for Apple ID to start the installation.
--> At this point I am getting desperate, as this computer was purchased second-hand, so I don't have the Apple ID used to install Lion!
8) I try searching for Apple's official support, but obviously my warranty has expired, besides it's based in another country so they can only call cellphones from that country!
So I cannot enter App Store; reinstall Safari; reinstall Lion; or upgrade to Mountain Lion. I have no access to Apple official support. I currently work in a developing country with limited access to any MAC support.
I don't know what to try anymore!
- How can I enter App Store without Safari?
- How can I reinstall Lion without the original Apple ID?
- How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion without App Store?
I'm STUCK! Please help!!

Anyone?
I finally managed to download the newest combo update and installed it successfully!
However Safari still doesn't open. It keeps saying the following:
Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
I also finally got access to App Store: but the download of Mountain Lion doesn't complete, because it seems to need Safari.
So I'm still stuck with the two issues:
i) Safari doesn't work, and I can't get it to work unless I can reinstall/upgrade the OS.
ii) I can't upgrade the OS without Safari!
--- unless someone knows a way to install Lion/Mountain Lion _without_ Safari??
Thanks for all your help!

One App Two iPhones Different iTunes Accounts

I currently have an iPhone 5 and I will be upgrading to an iPhone 6. I'm going give the iPhone 5 to my brother. I purchased a TomTom Navigation App and I want the App to be available on both phones but managed through different iTunes accounts. How should I go about doing this, if possible?
If it isn't possible to do this because the App is linked to my iTunes account, can I, instead, manage my iTunes account on multiple computers? Or is it that one computer can handle multiple devices?
I read the following two forums but they are not exactly the same questions as mine.
One APP to Multiple iPods?
Can you use apps from one computer/iTunes accounts on multiple iPhones?

Suppose I authorize another computer to use my current iPhone 5 and sync apps to that computer. Then I get my iPhone 6 and sync my apps to this new phone. Then I change the apple ID on one of the two computers. Would leave the installed apps on both devices? I don't have the new iPhone yet as I'm waiting to get an unlocked GSM version directly from Apple so I can't try this right away.

HT3702 can i download free content from itunes and app store without any billing information?

I am a iPhone 3gs user firmware version 3.1.3 . the question is can i download free content from itunes and the app store without billing info ? please help !

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

ITUNES APP STORE WITHOUT A CREDIT CARD WITH EXISTING APPLE ID

Hey,
I've been trying to create a free itunes app store account. First I read the instructions in this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534, but the link shows how to create a new account, the problem is that I already have a Apple ID.
On the other hand when I try to sign in in the app store with my existing Apple ID, I get the message "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store please review your account information" with two options "cancel" and "review".
Clicking in review, I go to the page with the terms of service, continuing I go to a page where I have to type my email, my password, question and answer for the password and my birth date. The email field has the email that is being used with my current Apple ID, and the password field has the password of my existing Apple ID. The other fields are blank. Completing them, and clicking in next I go to the payment options page, but there's no "none" option, so I can't make a account withou using a credit card.
