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.

Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

I had two accounts on one computer until recently. You need to use two user accounts on the computer. Note, I say I did it until recently, therefore I'm not able to confirm this still works, but assume it does.

HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer. This is what you see when you open iTunes.
So, do you mean account or library? You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved. You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.

How can you set up 2 iTunes accounts from one computer without synching each other's libraries?

We have 2 separate iTunes accounts. When signed in, using either account, both libraries are combined. How do we create t

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Can you set up multiple iTunes account on 1 computer?

We share a laptop, and want our own iTunes accounts. It doesn't seem to accept it. It will not allow it to 'verify.'
Is it even possible to have multiple accounts?

I think maybe on different users on one computer - but not on the same one.

HT2534 ummm, we don't have the none button to select for our payment type, how can you set it up without that button or a credit card??? apple isn't doing to good of a job so far and i'm not impressed

Hi, I'm setting up an account for my brother, but apparently we need a credit card. Neither of us own one and the system won't let us continue without one. Now I know that there's supposed to be a none selection, but it won't appear on ours. How can we continue if we don't have a credit card or the none selection button??? Help us please!!!!

When I created a new account on my computer's iTunes yesterday, I first logged out of my existing account. I then found a free app in the store, clicked on it's free 'price' to 'buy' it, clicked on 'create Apple id' and filled in details about the new account and which gave me the option of 'none' for the payment details - clicking on the 'verify' email that I received then allowed me to download a free app.
That is the process that you are using when you tried to create both new accounts ? The instructions won't work on existing accounts (even if the account has only been partially created), and you are in the country that you are trying to create the account for ?

I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

hi I'm travelling between two countries and i have a credit card and address in both, can i set up my itunes account to switch between the respectice i tunes stores

Not a single account, no, at least not easily. It would be better to set up individual iTunes Store accounts, one in each country. Your computer and devices can quite happily deal with two accounts, and then you can just log into the appropriate account when you're in the applicable country. You'll need a second email address to able to create a new Apple ID.

I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
Okay.
She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
Log into her computer account.
Launch iTunes.
Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?

You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
Make a backup!
i had music there for over 6 years.
Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.
