Can an apple account be opened without a credit card?

Can I open a separate apple store account for my kids without a credit card?

There are instructions on this page for creating a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. if currently logged into an account then log out of it, then find a free app in the store and click on its free 'price', and on the popup that you should get click on 'create Apple id' - that should give you the 'none' option on the payments screen

    Create a NEW account/ID for her 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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Hi fahmeed,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to create an Apple ID (iTunes, iBooks, or App Store account) without a credit card, see the instructions in this article:

  • Icloud keeps emailing me saying my account cannot be billed - please go to "settings" and click on "accounts".  There is no "accounts" in my icloud .  I checked into apple accounts and it says the credit card has expired.  It has not.  what now?

    The credit card used is that registered in the iTunes Store. Open the Store and go to your account. Click 'edit' next to 'payment details' and amend the card details if necessary.

    If you have an account that previously had a credit card and you're now trying to remove it, see:

    If you are trying to set up an iTunes Store account without a credit card, presuming 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.)

  • HT1918 Apple ID for kids without providing credit card information

    I want to create an Apple ID for my 10 year old son, without providing credit card information. on the web I found a video telling that it is possible to set the payment information to "none" - but this choice does not show up in my settings

    I'm not sure how this "none" option works in other countries, but it is accessible in the U.S. So I assume that you are not in the U.S. You can create another Apple ID for the child to use
    The minimum age for an Apple ID needed to create an iTunes account is 13. You will have to set this up using your information (your birthday, address, etc.) and you will need another email address. You can create a free email account using AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, or Gmail as well.

    Use this Apple ID only for the kids account. Purchases cannot be transferred from one Apple ID to another one.

  • Apple ID for minors without a credit card

    I have a friend who is a minor (around 15 years old) and just got an iMac for her birthday. But then creating an apple ID would require her a credit card which she doesn't have since she's still underaged. Do you know what she should do?

  • My apple account won't  accept my credit card on the ipod but it will on the computer , PLEASE help!!!

    please help my ipod will accept the credit card on the computer but not on the ipod touch now i cant download apps or anything please help, thanks!

    Make sure that the account that you are using on the iPod Touch is indeed the same as on your computer. Check Settings > Store and see that the Apple IDs are the same. If you are using different accounts you may have different credit card information on the two accounts.
    If you can't figure this out contact the Apple Store. See Apple Store Customer Service on this web page: http://www.apple.com/contact/
