Creat an account without a credit card, None option. Help

Question

Ok so here was my problem.... Id go into theapp store and try to dl a free app. It would ask me to log in and i would. Then it would say "this account has not been used in the app store be4 and you need to review. So from ther on you end up at a page asking for credit card or gift card info. On my iPad it only has credit cards and gift cards. On my computer iTunes it has credit cards, gift cards and paypal as options. So I was told to go here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
In that forum it asks you to sing out of your account and creat a new one and then you will be able to see a option for NONE as payment. BUT WHO WANTS TO DO THAT! you loose all your information if yo make a new account. So here is the answer below.
1. go to - -             http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40?viewlocale=en_US             and look back here for step 4
2. follow the steps there BUT AT STEP 4 just change your email slightly ex.([email protected] - change it to [email protected])
3. Then click save changes. Now signout of appleID.
4. NOW you can go here   ----- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534      and follow the directions for ither computer or mobile device. (I did iTunes on computer so                                                                                                                                                                                                        I'd say do it that way.)
This way you wont have to worry about loosing all your data and having to creat a new account.
Hope this helps you guys out. It sure did for me.
tell me if this needs any fixes ppl and i'll change it for you.
Thanks

Answer 1

Thanks, but that's not a valid piece of advice, at least in my case and as much as have tried to I understand it.
An email (submitted while registering) = Apple ID
You can actually submit the same email twice (still it changes nothing even if one confirms an account from a number of Alternate Email Addresses):
1) as Apple ID and Primary Email Address
2) as Alternate Email Addresses
... but you CANNOT separate Apple ID from Primary Email Address in my version of user panel.
I suppose we have different versions of user panel. Any other ideas?
