I can't get free apps without a credit card?

I'm trying to open up the app store on itunes, I just created an account and I went through the steps until I got to the page called "Review Payment Information, I don't have a credit card and it won't let me proceed without entering info, please help.

How did you create the account ? Unless you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store

  • How can you get free apps without a credit card?

    I got this iPod touch for my birthday and I really wanted to get cranking on getting free apps. I had made an account and everything, and it keeps asking me to finalize my payment plans. The thing is, is that i dont have a credit card. And all i want is free apps. So what can I do, because there  is no "none" option on iTunes 10.4 to indicate that you dont have a credit card. I tried making a new account, and I selecting a free app then going through the process hoping to find the "none" option, but nothing has worked.

    Create a new account using the following instructions:

    If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click "iTunes Store" in the left navigation pane. Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

  • How can i buy free apps without a credit card

    Hi does anybody know how i can set up an app store account for the purpose of downloading only free apps
    without providing credit card details?
    cheers.

    Yes I did, I have two apple ID's, one which I created only yesterday this is the one which I do not want my credit card details on.
    So I signed out of my existing account (tried this in itunes store and app store, on my mac and ipod touch) then signed in with new ID, can't get past the credit card request. I don't get the none option, on the touch i don,t get the pop up scrolling window with all the options.
    I want this seperate account so my son has the freedom to download free games etc on his ipod touch without access to my creditcard.

  • How can I access free apps without a credit card?

    I'm trying to create an Apple ID for some elderly folks that want something as simple as checking the weather and potentially other free apps but at no point can I create an account without a credit card, an idea that's very bad for folks that are not at all technically savvy.
    Various guides suggest there's a 'none' option for payment type if you attempt to create the account with the need to obtain a free app in the app store but this option does not exist, we only have three credit card options. If I change to USA, I have more options like Paypal but none of them is 'none'. Also tried the UK, still didn't work.
    Can anyone advise me as to how we can 'review terms' without entering a credit card? It's difficult for me to explain they can't do as much as they want to do with their new $400+ purchase because they need to use their credit card for authorization.

    Edit : your last reply appeared as I was typing this.
    I've just tried the steps and they worked ok for me, I've got the 'none' option for a new account e.g.
    These are the steps that I used to give people (free apps are now labelled as 'Get') : Re: i want to create an appleid and i dont have credit card. the instruction that you discribe at the top is not working…, and that is what I've just used.
    If you update the primary email address on the account that you've already created then you should be able to try using to create another account - you can change the primary email address by logging into it via http://appleid.apple.com, or by logging in via the Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes. You can create a 'throw-away' email account to put on the existing account via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com
    I'd be surprised if the info that you've just been given about gift cards or credit cards is correct, iTunes gift cards aren't available in a lot of countries (and they are country-specific) and a lot of people don't have credit cards - they'd effectively be preventing a lot of people form having accounts.

  • Can I download free apps without a credit card information?

    Hi! I have recently created an Apple ID. I want to download a free app in the iTunes Store, but it forces me to enter a credit card information, and I don't have a credit card right now. I've seen iPhones were there's an option were it says "none"  instead of giving a credit card information, but I can't see that option on my computer. Is that option available from a computer? Or am I obliged to have a credit card?

    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.)

  • HT201303 Can't update free app without putting credit card information? Why?

    Cannot update free app without updating my credit card information! Says I am using new device to connect with app store ? This is not true as I'm using and have always been using my I phone. And why do I need to provide credit card info for free app?

    Change your payment information to none on your iphone, goto settings > store  , tap on your apple ID , tap view account , tap payment type , change to none.
    This is all provided that you don't owe itunes any monies, if so then attach a credit card or itunes gift card and pay your arrears.
    Free app or paid app, you will not be able to use your apple id until you settle one of the above.

  • How can I download free apps without a credit card?

    I want to download free apps from the apps store but it seems like the only option is with a credit card in which I am not ready to use as of now. I'm pretty disappointed...

    Roxanne-
    Have you already established an Apple ID, or are you balking because of the credit card issue?  It is my understanding that you can get the Apple ID by specifying NONE when they ask for the credit card information.  You should then be able to download free stuff.
    Later, if you try to buy something, you will then need to provide a method of payment.  One alternative may be to add a gift card to your account.  I've seen them for sale at Walmart.  That way you can buy things without any worry about someone stealing your credit card information.
    See <redeemLandingPage> for gift card terms and conditions.  It will open up in your iTunes program.

  • I can't download free apps without a credit card anymore with ios 6. Help?

    Hey guys maybe you can help me. After updating to ios 6 on my iPad 2 everything was fine. I was downloading free apps. Now if I try it says I need to enter credit card details which I have never needed to do in the past. Is there any way to get around this? Please help. Cheers.

    Well, you might share what you did to fix it since you came here looking for help and if some body sees your "issue" has been fixed and clicks on your discussion "I fixed it" will not help the next user.

  • How can I download free apps without a credit card or paypal

    I need to reinstall some free apps and I don't have a credit card now or paypal. How can I do it

    The page referred to above lists instructions for when using iTunes on a computer. Did you read the page?
    And by the way, you posted in a thread that's now six months old. That's usually not going to get you a reply.

  • HT4528 how can i download free apps without a credit card?

    Hello.
    I just received a new iphone and want to try out some of the free apps on the app-store.  i'm used to being able to download free apps w/o itunes within the Droid enviroment.  This seems complicated with having to install itunes, and having to enter credit card/pay-pal information just to be able to use some 'free' apps.  Is there a method of setting up my account w/o having to do this?

    When you create an Apple ID for any of these stores, you will need to provide a payment method for purchases. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use:
    Credit cards
    iTunes Cards
    iTunes Store Gift Certificates
    Content Codes
    Store credit (including Allowance Account balances)
    ClickandBuy
    PayPal
    In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros.
