Can I set up a new account with only a gift card?

My sister just got her first ipod and a gift card to the itunes store. It appears she needs to set up an itunes account in order to use the gift card. In the process it is looking for a credit card or paypal info - neither of which she has. Is it possible for her to set up the account only with the gift card as the method of payment?
Thanks!

Log out from any account
Redeem your music card
Now choose to create a new account (Don't try to start by creating a new account in 1st place)
If you do it that way you are allowed to discard CC details

My daughter and i share same itunes account but we want to separate and have our own. if i change "our" account to "her" account how can i set up a new "for me only" account and retrieve all my contacts and apps

my daughter and i share the same i tunes account but want to have our own now. how can i set up a new account just for me and still move or transfer my existing apps, contacts etc?

Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account.

I have an iPhone and iPad on the same account. I gave my iPad to my daughter. Can I set up a new account for my iPhone only so I can back up photos, etc, in privacy?

If you set up a new account on your iPhone you won't have access to all the data associated with the prior Apple ID.

If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

I want to remove my credit card from my account and only use gift cards for purchases. How can I delete my card number?

You'll want to get in touch with ITunes support for this. Normally when you start an account with the CC you can't remove it yourself. But by contacting iTunes they can get that taken off for you.

I have a 16 year I support that lives in Haiti. He has a computer, but is not able to charge on a credit card. If I purchase prepaid Itunes gift cards, is he able to set up a Itunes account and use these gift cards. That would be his only method of pay

Hi judifrom!
I have some links for you that can help shed some light on the subject of gifting through iTunes and Apple IDs. The first can be found in this link:
Gifting - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/help/gifting
and the relevant information in that link can be found right here:
Gift Cards and Certificates are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased. Only residents of the U.S may redeem gift certificates purchased in the U.S.
You can still help them set up an Apple ID without payment information so that they can download free items through the iTunes store though. The steps for performing that can be found in the following article:

Hey Harlowmaginty,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines the various options for creating a free @icloud.com account:

You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

Can you set up an iTunes account w/out a credit card?

Ok, here's the deal... I'm buying a 10 year old an iPod Touch for Christmas. She needs to have her own iTunes account for purchasing stuff (apps, music, etc.) Is it possible to set up an iTunes account WITHOUT adding a credit card? I need her to operate completely off of iTunes gift cards so that I can 1) controll how much she spends, 2) avoid having to either enter my password every time she wants to buy a Justin Bieber song with my debit card, and 3) avoid random charges popping up on my credit card whenever she does purchase said Bieber songs by letting her know the password in an attempt to accomplish task #2...
Is there a way to set up an iTunes account without entering billing information? So that the account operates on 100% iTunes credit? Is there a parental setting to block access to the card used to set up the account? With all the kids with iPods there has GOT to be a way to set this up... or else there are probably a LOT of broke parents chasing after them....

Glad this helped! You might want to check this article on Understanding Restrictions on the iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213.

HT5621 How do i delete an icloud account and set up a new account with icloud if i dont no the old accounts password

How do i delete an icloud account to set up a new icloud account if you dont know the old accounts password

Welcome to the Apple community Amber
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How can I set up a new account without auto deleting messages on the server?

Ive got accounts on COMCAST.NET (are those imap accounts?) and when I created a user account on Thunderbird for one of them the autocreate process immedaitely started downloading messages from my server before I was able to set the "keep messages on server" flag. (Its been a few months, forgive me if I am not using the exact right option text but you get the idea.)
How can I create a Thunderbird account that will download all the message on my server (comcast.net) and leave them all there?
That's the only thing keeping me from switching to Thunderbird. Please help - comcast's online web client is not the most bug free thing in the world.
(Note, I am setting up a new win7 system, had been using OE 6 on winXP. I assume I am better off trying this than running OE in XP in a virtual window - and even if I moved my old message bases from XP I still need to create an account that won't immediately start downloading/deleting messages from my server before I can configure it not to.)
Any help appreciated.

Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:

The server settings are given [http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/setting-up-thunderbird/ here], but the method is for Online account setup.

Can I set up separate cloud accounts with one apple id?

we have several devices (6) but don't want to have to re-purchase all of the music and apps

You will need to use separate IDs to set up separate iCloud accounts. However, you can continue to share the same ID for purchasing but use different IDs for iCloud. (The ID you use for purchasing does not need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.) You will also want to use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
