Activate my itunes account without giving a form of payment

I searched online and came across a thread that said i should select none payment option when the section comes up requiring you to give a credit card or other form of payment to fully activate your account.
this is really annoying because i dont want to and never plan on buying anything on itunes but i cant update my mac book air now because it requires a activated account to install the updates. Should you not be able to just setup an account without having to give payment details?
and no i will not give my details. So what should I do then....?
have to manually update my mac by finding the updates online elsewhere or what?

Um, I believe there is adifference between interacting with the iTunes Store and the Mac App Store which is more likely what you would use to update the software on your computer. You'd be better off asking in that forum.

How can I make an iTunes/Store account without giving my credit card?

Hi everyone,
We recently decided to start giving out iPhones at work on our company cell plan to employees.
Along with this, we're using one of the AppStore apps to do user tracking/maintenance on the phone, and I was curious if there was any way to make the Apple IDs/Appstore accounts without giving a credit card number to verify the account.
We don't want to have everyone use their own credit cards, nor do we want to use the company cards to register, in case someone gets crazy and starts buying paid apps.
Is there any way around this?

All of those choices (from what I can see) still involve using a credit card at some point to make the Store account.

The articel entitled:"

Describes exactly how to make an account without a credit card. DO as the articles says.

Where are you located?
Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The link that rmgman gave has instructions for how to create an account without giving credit card details - if you use them when creating an account then you will be able to download items from the store without having to give card details.

Any way to create an iTunes account without credit card or Paypal account?

Any way to create an iTunes account without credit card or Paypal account? I've been given a couple of free downloads, but can't seem to redeem them without giving out a credit card number to register. Since I don't have access to a credit card or Paypal account for use online, how can I create an account to use prepaid iTunes cards, etc.? Thanks!

I don't know what "something" you were trying to redeem, but if it was a valid iTunes Store give, go to the main iTunes Store page (within iTunes), click on the "Redeem" link on the right side of the page, and enter in the code from your card. You'll be able to create an iTunes Store account without needing a credit card.

HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

HT1689 Can I set up an ITunes account without a credit card number?

We are using IPads in a school setting and having trouble setting up the ITunes account without a credit card number. We are only allowed to download free apps, the school is not paying for any, therefore we do not need to have a credit card for purchases. Is there a way to get around this so that we can still download the free apps onto the IPads?
Thank you

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.

How can I create a iTunes account without a Credit card?

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
