App Store not accepting my Apple ID without credit card

Hi! I recently bought an Iphone 4S and tried creating an Apple ID but was not successful because I don't have a credit card. What I did was I just registered using my laptop and was able to create one without any credit card details. However, when I tried using it on my Iphone, it still asked for a credit card which again, I don't have. I read on some topics here that you need to initially put in your credit card details and then just change it to no credit card afterwards. How can I do that if I don't have a credit card at all. It's sad that Apple assumes ALL people have credit cards. Is there any other workaround for my problem?

  • ITunes and App Store not accepting my Apple iD

    I cannot sign in with my Apple iD on either application. I get an error message on iTunes after approx 2 mins saying "We could not complete your iTunes store  request. The secure network connection was refused. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.".
    I get a different message on App Store simply saying "Connection failed".
    I'm running a MacBook with MacOS X version 10.6.8, with iTunes version 10.4. All my software is up to date. I've tried disabling the firewall in MacOS this makes no difference.
    The username and password are correct for my Apple iD as i'm using it to post on the community board.
    I am able to browse the stores but can't purchase anything as it requires me to sign in to purchase.
    Both applications have worked in the past with this iD, but my last purchase was back in April, I don't buy too much, now I can't purchase anything anymore as it won't sign in.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Why does the apps store not accept my ID and password, it works fine to log into this forum and it works for the apple store, but not to log in to buy apps, it just keeps telling me that the id or password is wrong, and I know it isn't

    Hello, aligt9p. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

    Did you create a NEW account using the instructions in Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card using an email address you had not previously used with Apple?
    You have to.
    Maybe that option is not available in your country. It works in the USA

    I want try to create apple ID without credit card.
    There is no 'None' option at payment type selection.

    You have to enter your credit card number and some amount would be debited from your account(60 rs in india)
    After registration, You can Go to
    1 Settings
    2.Itunes&App Store
    3.Click on your apple id .
    4.Select View Apple ID
    5.Slecet Payment Info
    And You can find NONE here.
    Please select NONE to delete your credit card numbe r from the list
    But While registering you cant find NONE, you have to enter the cc number.
    Thank You

  • HT2534 create and use an apple id without credit card

    According to Apple support (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534) - i can create an apple id without credit card details.
    In practice you cant, as both on iPad/iPhone and on PC you dont have the "Payment type - None" option
    Have you manage to bypass this?
    Is there a reason why this page is not updated per the actual use?
