Creating an itunes account without a credit card messed up...can someone help?

I followed the instructions to create an Apple ID without using a credit card (thank you google....) but somewhere after the verification email it went wrong.  Now, every time I try to log into the Apps Store on Itunes it prompts me to enter a credit card.
Does anyone know how to fix this, so that I can get into the apps store?

I think you have to log in using your account, enter the codes etc. for the gift card, and then the credit amount appears and she will be able to download the music. I did the same for my stepson, who is 16. An employee at the Apple store told me to do this and said when he is old enough to get his own credit card he can set up an account and the music he already has will play. Yes, I think that a credit card is 100% necessary and I presume that legally it forces you to be respponsible, as a parent, for your child's downloads as they cannot have a credit card under 18, at least under English law, and presumably, in other countries such as the USA, it is the same.

    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when you created the account ? They worked for me yesterday on my computer's iTunes when I tried them in response to another thread.
    e.g. I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price'
    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    And after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as the payment method.

  • Create an iTunes account without a credit card. There's no "none" Button

    I am 17 years old. I don't have a credit card, debit card or nothing like that. I'm not going to buy anything off iTunes so why do I need to put in a credit card number? So what should I do? Please dont give me the answer of, "Ask your parents for theirs." because I already did that amd they wont give it to me.

  • Can you create an iTunes account without a credit card or PayPal?

    Hello,
    I have been wanting to get a separate iTunes account from my brother because he spends all of my money. The only problem is, I can't continue without a Credit Card or PayPal when I go to sign up for a new account. My parents refuse to let me use their credit card, and I am sick of my brother using all of my money.
    When I signed up for my first account, I did not need a credit card. I have no idea what I did to sign up before, but I can't sign up for a new account now.
    I really need the help because I am ready to lose it if my brother steals one more dollar from my account.
    Thank you in advance for any help,
    Alex

    go to the store and get an iTunes gift card.
    you can create an account using that instead of a credit card.

  • Creating an itunes account without a credit card to submit a podcast

    Maybe this is plain dumb, but...
    I'd like to submit a podcast that we're begining to produce. So, I have to create an iTunes account to do so, and it asks for credit card informations. I'm submitting this podcast on behalf of the compnay I work for, and I don't have a credit card, and, anyway, I wouldn't want to create a full account.
    The question is, how can I submit a podcast if I don't have a credit card? Is that possible? How?

    How can I create a iTunes account without a Credit card?

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • HT2534 create itune account without a credit card I do not have the none option

    I am trying to create an itune account on my iphone 5 I do not want to add a credit card.  I have read several posts that say select the none option I do not have that.  Please let me know how to set up itune account without a credit card just using it for free apps.

    You are following the instructions on the page that you posted from exactly, and you are trying to create a new account and not update an existing account i.e. you are selecting a free app in the store and clicking on 'Create Apple ID' when 'buying' it ?

  • HT1689 Can I set up an ITunes account without a credit card number?

    We are using IPads in a school setting and having trouble setting up the ITunes account without a credit card number.  We are only allowed to download free apps, the school is not paying for any, therefore we do not need to have a credit card for purchases.  Is there a way to get around this so that we can still download the free apps onto the IPads?
    Thank you

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.
