Cant open an Apple account

Hello Community,
A friend of mine recently purchased an iPhone 4S, but he hasn't a credit card nor does his parents want to give him their credit card number to create an iTunes account. Now, I googled the problem and saw that he simply has to choose "None" when asked for payment type. But he told me there is no "none" option there. I checked it myself and saw there is really no one. You have to choose a credit card or PayPal.
I tried to type a random 16-digit VISA number but it doesn't work.
Has Apple really removed the "none payment type" option? What should the mate of mine do to open an iTunes account? I mean, it ***** as he can't download any apps.
Thanks

And you're doing it EXACTLY in the way that the article describes?
Because by selecting a free application, you should always get the none option when trying to set up an account. You can't set up a non-paid account without the downloading a free app trick.
So; If you try to set up a brand new account WITHOUT using the method described in the article; You will never get the None option.
If you set it up using the method, you should always get the None option. If you're not getting the option; Maybe call Apple and report the issue directly to them. Too my knowledge, the option hasn't been removed.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him. I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account). I use icloud to sync calender and contacts with outlook 2007. How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud ?

On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

HT204053 can i open my apple account without credit card?

can i open my apple account without credit card?

If you follow the instructions on this page when creating the account (the instructons won't work with existing accounts) then you shouldn't need to enter credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. if currently logged into an account then log out of it, find a free app in the store and click on its free 'price' :
Then click on 'create Apple id' on the popup that you get :
I tried it a few days ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on the payments screen

You are sure that you registered to them an account, you've tried registering them to an account to see if it works ? If you can't add them to your account then you've checked all accounts that you have : https://supportprofile.apple.com/ ?

Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

HT4484 I let my grandson open an apple account with my credit card. He has been charging a little to much and I would like my credit card removed from this account. I do not know the apple id or password. How do i proceed?

I let my grandsn open and itunes account with my credit card. I want to remove my cc# from his account. I do not know his apple id or password. How do I proceed?

I would say let him fess up and give him a chance to mend his ways, but there is at least one app that goes for $900 (according to another poster's request for a refund). You may end up $1000+ deeper gone.
Change the account number which will close the current links and freeze/prevent charges under the old number. As I understand it Apple gets grumpy when charges get rejected, and you need to jump through hoops to get a payment method reattached.
Yes this is a grumpy answer.

HT1937 cant access my apple account to restore my new iphone 5

i cant seem to access my apple account on my computor as its saying the following message...
saying that my password is incorrect but iv tried it a million times, its allowing to me access it when i use another iphone, i have jst had this phone so please help asap

Well, too bad you tried a million times. You will be locked out after 3 failed attempts to get the correct password, so 999,997 of those attempts were guaranteed to fail. You will have to go to https://appleid.apple.com and follow the instructions to reset your password.

Can I open multiple Apple Accounts?

I have had two Apple accounts for some time, giving me an email address with the @me.com address. My wife and I have just gotten two new iphones, and see has expressed interest in getting her own email address with the @me.com format. Can I get an additional email address, so she can tie in the new email address to her new iphone? How does this impact iCloud. Would she still be able to sync her contacts, emails, etc. with our other account with our old email address and other existing Apple account, so her Mail, for example, would show both her new account and the old account syncing?

Hello Danbonow,
Yes, to do that, follow this instructions:
Open Settings.
Tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendar".
Select "Add account" and fill the details.
Sincerely,
Gonçalo Matos

HT204053 i cant open an icloud account

trying to open an icloud account. downloaded the control panel on pc windows 7 , go to open icloud and it asks me for login info.

Did you sign in on the iCloud control panel with your existing iCloud ID?

I cant open an iclude account. they wrote the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone.

i bought my iphone from someone, then i created apple id, i forgot the password...and created a new one
now i want to creat iCLOUD with my last apple id and it wrote the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone.
what can i do ?! someone can help me?

Tell your brother to do the following. He will need your Apple ID and password to create your account.
Open his "my photo stream" album on his phone and save any photos he wants to keep to his camera roll by tapping Edit, taping all the photos, taping Share, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
When finished, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. This will only delete his account and the data he is syncing with iCloud from his phone, but not from iCloud. His data will be synced back to his phone when he signs back in at step 5.
In Settings>iCloud, sign back in with your Apple ID and password to create your new account. Do not turn on any iCloud data syncing (i.e., keep everything turned to Off in Settings>iCloud).
In Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account. If prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone.
In Settings>iCloud, sign back in with his original iCloud ID and password and turn his iCloud data syncing back to On. This will sync his iCloud data back to his phone.
His phone should now be back to where he started, except that it's likely that not all his photo stream photos will be in his my photo stream album (which is why he saved them to his camera roll at the beginning).
You can now go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and sign in with your Apple ID to use the new account he created for you on his phone.
