How do I get the none button to pop up so u don't have to have a credit card for apps? I owe nothing for apps from Apple, NOTHING!? And it still does not show the option "none". If it helps the card I have is a debit.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

Hello Bstoddard7,
It sounds like you want to use your Apple ID without a credit card.
You can set your credit card to None in the billing information section of iTunes. This article will help you do that.

HT5621 I often use credit card for iTunes but also use iTunes but systems won't let me change back to my iTunes. I have redeemed and gives me a balance but I am unable to access.

I often use credit card for iTunes but also use iTunes but systems won't let me change back to my iTunes. I have redeemed and gives me a balance but I am unable to access.

If you can't find anything for exactly that amount then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

HT201209 We have a gift card for iTunes that was purchased in the United States and we live in Canada and iTunes won't allow us to redeem it. Is there any way we can exchange it?

Sorry, but as KP guessed, Apple will not exchange the card, and you are correct that you can't use a US iTunes card in Canada. You will need to give or sell it to someone in the US.

I have a really old ipod and do not have a credit card for my apple ID. How do I get past doing so without using apps, since I have an ipod where you cannot download apps.

I am trying to create a new apple ID. And I do not yet have a credit card. So I would like to know how I can make this apple ID without having to worry about having credit card information. My ipod is the big one where you cannot even download apps onto it yet. Please help.

You don't need an Apple ID to use a "classic" iPod. You only need a computer (Mac or PC) that can run iTunes. If your iPod is older, your computer does not even need to run the latest version of iTunes. You can add songs to your iTunes library from music CDs, and song files you have already. Then sync the iPod to that iTunes library.
An Apple ID only comes into play, if you want to buy and download songs (and other media) from the iTunes Store. This document describes how to create an Apple ID without a credit card

HT1420 How to remove credit card for iTunes

Yes I have been trying to remove my credit card. I put 50 iTunes. But will not quit going to prepaid credit. No funds.

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.

Do I NEED Credit Card For iTunes Account?

I just got my iPod touch last night and my son is helping me set up my iTunes account and it says I need to have a credit card on file. Is there anyway I can not put a credit card before getting apps?
Thank-You

You can use an iTunes gift card to create an account. See this ->iTunes Store: How to redeem an iTunes Gift Card
You can also create an account without a card and use it for free apps and artwork. See this -> Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
Pay attention to step 4 "Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must purchase a free application by clicking 'Free App'."

HT201454 How do you handle family members outside the household being a part of the Family Sharing program? I don't want them using my credit card for itunes and/or apps on their phones - just want to be able to share pictures/videos.

Wanted to include my sister and parents in the Family Sharing group under the iCloud app, but I don't want them using my credit card for their purchases. We just wanted to be able to share pictures and/or videos and find each other, if necessary. Is there a way around my card being the default for them when they go to purchase something?

If you don't want your sister to make purchases on your credit card, then Family Sharing is not an appropriate way to do what you want. You can use Find my Friends to locate each other and you can use Shared Photo Streams to share photos.

Yes, it is supposed to.
One you click on Store, you click on your account name at top right (as Roger noted) of the window with all the music and other products.

Can I enter Credit Card for iTunes account on web?

I just created an iTunes account recently for my son who has an iPad. He'll be using this to purchase apps. He has the iPad and also his Mac which has iTunes on it. I want to be able to enter my credit card information into his account so that any apps purchased are charged to my card. Yet I don't have access to his iPad or Mac and don't want to give him my actual card #. Is there a way I can log into his iTunes account on the web and add credit card information? Thanks!
