App store without credit card number

When I try to download a free app in app store, I have to configure iTunes which insists on a credit card number. The menu items "Discover" and "None" are note shown (unlike my guidance, see below).
I'm definitely not willing to provide any credit card numbers. How to solve this problem?

So, if an Apple ID was already created I have to provide a valid credit card number at least once in order to sign in which I can disable after signing in? Great! However, I will never provide any credit card number via internet.
I guess, I have to create another Apple ID and another e-mail adress - really great  
And you have an issue with providing a credit card number to Apple for about 30 seconds... why?  It's an encrypted server, and the data would be there for about as long as it takes for you to type a few things on the screen.  Or you can use iTunes gift cards.
Seems you're a bit paranoid for no valid reason.

  • How do I run Mac Apps Store without credit card number?

    Dear all,
    some years ago I started an Apple ID account, but I never used it to purchase apps. Recently I tried to download free apps using Mac Apps Store, but I was asked to complete my profile and to add my credit card number, apparently without it I cannot continue the procedure. What should I do if I do not intend to give my credit card details?
    Thank you,
    Marco

  • How to create iTune or App Store without credit card for my existing Apple ID without create new Apple ID or email?

    I got 2 Apple ID and the first time to I use it to iTune or App Store, a box will pop out and telling me this:
    "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the i Tunes Store. Please review your account information."
    Then, I click on the button, "Review". Bla bla... but ended up, I must provide a credit card in order to complete it.
    I do not have credit card, so I search 'How to create iTune or App Store without credit card', same link and same tactic only valid for New Apple ID.
    So, it seem no other option to create iTune or App Store without credit card for existing Apple ID, right?

    The same thing is happening to me!

    You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    If you don't use those instructions when creating an account then you will need to enter credit card details (which you should be able to remove after entering it) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

    If you plan on buying anything from the App Store, you need to register a credit card with your Apple ID.
    This has nothing to do with your iPhone.

    The instructions on the page that you posted from work if you are creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) - I've just tried it and I got the 'none' option.
    i.e. on my computer's iTunes I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    Agreed to the terms, filled in my details, and got 'none' as a payments option :

    Plx help me... I can't download any app from the app store.... Plx tell me how cn I make an account without credit card....

    If you already created an Apple ID and you are trying to finish it without using a credit card - you may have problems with that. The key to creating the ID without a credit card is to download a free app first - before you create the ID. You will be prompted to create the ID once you try to download a free app.

    I'm setting up a mac for my kids. I don't want a credit card associated with the app store, but I want access to free apps for them. How do I sign up for the app store without a credit card? I already found a tutorial online, but it is outdated. The option for "none" is no longer there.

    Unless the payment methods in your account offer you a None option, you cannot download anything without either a bank card or an iTunes gift card.
    Otherwise, you can create a new Apple ID (this does not work with an existing Apple ID) using this method from Apple to get free apps;

  • How do I use my Apple-ID in App-Store without credit-card?

    Hello,
    When i try to use my Apple-ID in iTunes im forced to enter credit-card information or a gift-code. In the support section its showing a screenshot where you can choose 'None', but there is no option like that.

    Hello Adembey,
    This article states the reasons why you might not see "None" as an option when setting up your Apple ID for the iTunes Store.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
