Can I create an iTunes Store account with a MasterCard debit card?

I know I can create an iTubes Store or Mac App Store account wihout entering billing info from this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534.
But what if I want to use an existing Apple ID with iTunes Store or Mac App Store like this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2589.
The article says, and I've confirmed it by checking, that credit card billing info is required.
Can a MasterCard or Visa debit card be used instead?
I know debit cards have been sort of removed from illegible payment methods for the iTunes Store. But I'm only using the debit card for account creation. Will it work?
Just answer my question. Don't ask me to try myself.

There have been a number of posts recently about debit cards being declined, and they are not listed on this page as a valid payment method, so I don't think that they are still accepted.

Can I use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?

Hi all,
Am I able to use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?
I use my account on my PC - but I would like to download the latest version of iTunes onto my Mum's laptop, log in to my own iTunes Store account and rent a movie for her to download onto the laptop.
Is this possible and would I still be able to use my account on my PC at the same time?
Many thanks,
Steve.

Good question.
I don't think you can--if I'm incorrect, someone will tell me--but it seems to me to be easier to simply open an iTunes account for your mom. Then get her a gift card, load it into iTunes for her, and rent a movie that way. Not elegant at all...but workable.

How many different Apple TVs can I share one iTunes Store account with?

I currently have one AppleTV at my home, and one at my mothers home. We both share the same iTunes Store account, therefore we share the movies that each other purchase. I am interested in getting my father and my aunt and Apple TV as well, I want them to also be able to use my iTunes Store account. That way, if say my father and I both want to watch the same movie, we can split the cost.
I also currently own an iPhone, and an iPad. I'm going to be getting my mother and father iPads as well. I want them to be able to use my iTunes Store account on those devices as well, and be able to stream movies on them.
I know it says that your iTunes Store account can only be associated with 10 devices, but I'm wondering where Apple TVs fit into that stance. It's probably a stupid question, but I was just curious if the fact that it is iCloud changes anything.
Essentially, I'm wondering if four Apple TVs, three iPads, one iPhone, and my one desktop computer can all stream my iCloud movie content, simultaneously. I doubt there will ever be more than two or three going simultaneously, but I just want to know the limitations before I buy these gifts for my family members and run into an unpleasant surprise.
Thank you for your time,
Charles

as many as you can other computers with itunes accessing the shared ituned lib
likely the limitation is the network bandwidth more then number of connected devices

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:"
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card"
Describes exactly how to make an account without a credit card. DO as the articles says.

Can't Create an iTunes store account

I don't have a credit card, but i want to get album art work from iTunes. So when i tried to create an account, i clicked on paypal, and it wont let me use my paypal account to sign up...anyone know whats going on?

Thanks SniperKat but I don't know why for some reason the "NONE" disappeared...
I started to create an account and when I saw the credit card thing I just clicked back and back and so I closed the browser... every free app or something free I get it appears a window : " You have to review some of your information about your account" .... but I don't have an account yet because I didn't create it.... the only solution is to create a new e-mail account and go to iTunes store and create a new account with the new e-mail and be very carefull with the "Free app" this time...

Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ?

Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ? Cheers

I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

TS1368 Create an itunes store account apple tv says isnt valid i dont have credit card i just want touse my appletv

I create an itunes store account to conect my appletv
But says isnt valid
I dont have credit card
I jus want to start using my appletv

You don't need to set up iTS account for Apple TV, unless you rant to watch movies at iTS's rip-off prices. I suggest just get a cheap subscription to Netflix instead.
If you insist, check with iTS.

Changing iTunes Store accounts with Automatic Downloads

I use my Mac Mini at home as my media server/HTPC, and contains my iTunes library. I want to copy all my music to my MacBook Air for work, as my internet at work is too slow for iTunes Match to work effectively. Therefore, I was going to set Automatic Downloads for music on both Macs so that they would stay in sync.
However, I have both an Australian iTunes store account and an old UK one, which I still use to download BBC TV programmes from. According to the Apple KB though:
"Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days."
Does this mean that I can't change the store from AU to UK for 90 days? Or is the Apple ID you use in the store different to the device's Apple ID?

I'm having this problem too (except with from Japan to US)! Did you ever get a solution? I don' want to create a new account because I want to keep all of my purchases.

How can I delete my itunes store account

How can I delete my itunes store account

At the moment you can't - just remove any personal info from it (e.g. credit card details) and stop using it. If you purchased any content from Apple with it (music, films, apps etc) then you will need to remember the account id and password in case you ever want authorise it so as to use it on a different computer (or the same computer if, for exampel, you upgrade the OS)

Creating @me iTunes Store account without a credit card

you can use either a Music Card or a gift certificate to set up an account. (i used the gift certificate method.)

Can't log into iTunes store account

So I can no longer log into my iTunes store account. When I try to log in, I get an error message in red letters saying:
FieldName: null. java.lang.Exception
I have tried resetting my password mutliple times with no luck. I can log into my Apple Store account, I can log into the forums (obviously since I am able to post on these forums), yet iTunes will not let me log in.
Anybody else experience this as well or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help

I am experiencing the same exact problem you are. What gives? I never messed around with my login information and I've always gotten in before. But now I can't.
I've also done the password reset, and still it won't let me log in with the new password.
This is the same red error message I get as well:
FieldName: null. java.lang.Exception
Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks.

TS1368 How can I enable my iTunes Store account ?

I need to enable my iTunes Store account , how can I do that ?

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
