App store account without a credit card

Just bought a Macbook Pro, and trying to get my software updates. I do have an old Apple Account but the Card i used to use has now expired and i dont have a new one that will work(Our current country location is not supported by App Store). So how am i supposed to update this thing? The old Software update was so much easier.

It is a simple solution, keep it how it used to be. I never had this problem with my 2008 Macbook. It was all under software update and worked fine. They have made it this way so that we hesitate less to buy their programs as our Credit information is already typed in. Yes, I can set my location to Australia or America and use a family members Credit Card, but why should I? By making simple things harder, it makes people like me resort to using Torrents and other "unsupported" ways of getting updated programs. I have paid for the laptop, I have paid for the programs, I should be entitled to the updates aswell.
I do thankyou for your help though, Hackintosh, my rant is not directed at you, im just ****** off and feeling like I have wasted money when I normally have nothing but praise for anything Apple.

  • HT204034 How to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?

    Does anyone know how to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?
    When I sign in with my Apple ID it says I did not have an account with the App store, but in order to create one it requires a credit card.
    There is NO None option as some articles show when selecting a credit card.

    Hello SandraLAVixen,
    I understand you would like information on how to use an Apple ID without a credit card. The following article may help:
    Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Support
    If you already have an Apple ID
    If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment method after you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Bobby_D

  • Problem signing up for iTunes app store account without a credit card (cred

    I'm trying to test my friend's (free) iTunes app, and followed Apple's own instructions to get an app store account without a credit card:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
    Unfortunately, every time I try to enter my info in iTues and submit, the response is "Your credit card was declined". This is VERY frustrating as I'm choosing 'none' and trying to sign up WITHOUT a credit card, there is no credit card to be declined?! Help?

    You can only choose None for credit card if you switch to USA AppStore.
    Just while registartion choose USA.
    You should google more

  • How cat i create iTunes store account without USA credit card?

    The help page http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534  seems to be outdated. There no "None" option anymore.
    I just trying to buy several apps not available at my region using gift card.

    sometimes I live in USE, sometime not. I have an USA address, but I don't have a USA credit card. Apple allows to have several apple IDs (see the link in my question). I don't want to make a card for only one reason - to by apps in USA appstore. I have a gift card and I want to use it, but seems that I can't because "None" type payment is not available anymore.

    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 do I sign up for an itune's account without a credit card if I already have an apple ID?

    How do I sign up for an itune's account without a credit card if I already have an apple ID?
    There is no none option for payment method, even if I buy a free app.
    I have no credit card.

    What I can see here is that you have 2 options -
    You can use your Apple ID to create your account, but you must enter a credit card.
    ***Once you have successfully created the account with a credit card, you can simply remove the card from your account.
    Or you can create an iTunes Store account with a free application. However, you cannot use this Apple ID. You must start the process from the beginning with a different email address. This article shows you how:

    Redeem an iTunes gift card into the account
    Alternately you can 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.
