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'."

HT5114 why i need credit card for this account?

why i need to have credit card for i tune account?

The 'none' option will be there if you follow the instructions on that HT2534 when you create an account - I've just tried those instructions again and I've got the 'none' option on a new account. If you don't follow those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you can use the account - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them

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!

Credit card for itunes account

When i go to sign up for itunes it asked me for my credit card but i dont want to use my credit card how do i get i it o i dont give them that info

First, it's best to start a new topic with your question. It's impolite to tack a question onto someone else's thread.
Second, don't type all in caps. It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .
Third, search this forum for "security code". You'll find the subject discussed in multiple threads already.

HT5622 why is need credit card for my id

why is need credit card for my id to conect with itune
your id has not been used with itune

Hello, Tayub Amin.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To create an Apple ID without a credit or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

How do you remove credit card # from iTunes account

How do you remove credit card # from iTunes account without entering a new one because added money to account from gift card?

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iPhone then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

I'm not home right now, so don't have iTunes here. I am basing this on having to do this a few days ago, as well as pictures from Google Images, so things may have different names now...
Store (dropdown at top of iTunes screen)>View my account>Edit Payment Information>In the list of types of credit cards, the one at the far right says "None." Click that.

That is to verify your card and that it works. The charge will be reversed and will not appear on your bill. If it does, contact iTunes support in your country.

Look at your purchase history

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

On your phone you should be able to change your payment info by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup and logging into your account - on your account's screen there should be a payments link which you can tap on
If you don't get the 'none' option then do you owe iTunes anything : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

One credit cards, multiple ITunes accounts

Can I have multiple ITunes accounts with different email addresses and use one single credit card when purchasing items from each of the accounts?

Actually, you can't have more than 3 accounts tied to the same credit card in iTunes. And Apple support (online, chat, email, phone, store) is no help in figuring out what is going on. When you try to setup the 3rd account with the same credit card, iTunes says "Contact iTunes Support to complete this transaction" but does not provide any contact info. I've been trying to set up the 3rd of 9 accounts I need to setup for our corporate iPads for 2 days now. Support did some digging and after an hour on the phone, told me I could "have each user just set up their own iTunes account with their own credit card".
This is so remeniscent of steps another computer company stumbled over when they started to sell to Corporate America. Apple does not get the corporation. Product looks good but there is a lot of unfinished business when it comes to administering multiple devices. Support is friendly but not very able to solve the problem.

HT2534 Why need credit card for registering for apple id?

Im registering a new apple id using ios 7 operating system. Do we have to use credit card for registering a apple id? Or not? I cant purchase a free app on spple stoe. Thanks

You don't need to enter credit card details if you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating an account - if you don't use those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you can download any item from the store (you should be able to remove the card's details after entering them).
Creating an account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Need credit card for apple application.

hi! i cannot use my account in apple because it need a credit card for payment, but i dont have any credit card.. i follow already your instruction on how to fill-up for no need credit card... but it different from your application.. no NONE selection will appear, only mastercard, visa, and am. express.. pls. help me..

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. If you don't follow them exactly as given, it won't work. 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.

Remove Credit card from iTunes account

I'm trying to remove my credit card information for my itunes account. I go to Account Settings - Payment Information - Edit
I see the credit card types but I do not see the "None" radio button that I've been reading about in discussions and forums.
Can someone please help me ?
Could this be an OS X 10.7.2 issue ?
Thank you ,
Ken
