How do I get iTunes to recognize my Apple ID so I can download music and aps

I Created a Apple ID and have been trying to get on iTunes but it's tellin me my Apple ID has not yet been used in iTunes... How do I fix that and how do i get the "none" option to showup under payment......

Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them), or create a new account (and this time use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it).

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPod without losing all of my music?

    I keep all of my music on an external harddrive. My computer crashed and once I fixed everything and reloaded all of the software, I tried connecting my iPod. All of my music is on the external harddrive and on my iPod, but I can't get iTunes to synchronize. I don't want to redo all of my playlists. Is there a way to get iTunes to communicate with my iPod without losing anything?

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

    How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

    First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
    Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
    You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
    You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

  • How do I get itunes to recognize all of the music in my library. I backed up the library for 24.95 and not all of it went into the backed up library?

    How do you get Itunes to recognize all the music in your library when you buy the backup in the cloud? Alot of my  music was not backed up. These are songs I burned off my CD collection. Itunes Match did not recognize them either?

    *What am I doing wrong?*
    You moved it to the server.
    You should let iTunes do it.
    Point iTunes prefs to the new location.
    Menu Advanced -> Consolidate library.

  • HT3406 when using my old iphone as a itouch how do i get itunes to recognize as a different device and not the new phone?

    When using my old iphone4 as an itouch - how do i get itunes to recognize as a new and seperate device

    You don't need to do anything. iTunes will automatically recognise different devices as different devices. Just plug it in.
    You can rename the device by clicking the name in the side panel in iTunes for your own identification purposes, but this name does not matter to iTunes.

    How do i get iTunes to recognize songs on my computer that came from purchased Cd's?

    You just import them to iTunes, or you import them to iTunes directly from the CD. But, it you had imported them to the computer before you had iTunes, then you go to edit, add file to library, or add folder to library, however you have the music set up.

    Make sure your iMac is on 10.6.8 or higher and your iTunes is up to date.  If it is, then restart your computer, open iTunes, then plug in your device.  If it still is not showing up, follow the steps listed here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    how do i get itunes to recognize my device

    Hello there,
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not seen in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    2. If your iPod displays an exclamation point folder or sad iPod icon
    3. Charge the iPod and make sure it is getting power
    4. Secure the iPod's connections
    5. Disconnect other USB Devices
    6. Determine whether your iPod's cable functions properly
    7. Place the iPod into Disk Mode
    8. Determine which format the iPod is in
    9. Verify that USB drivers are installed
    10. Determine if Windows confuses iPod with a network drive
    11. Determine if third-party software may be causing conflicts
    12. Reinstall iTunes
    13. Make sure FireWire card is a WHQL-certified IEEE 1394 card
    14. Check for a conflict in the FireWire chain
    15. Determine if there may be an issue with your computer
    16. Your iPod needs service
    If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with this article named:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
