    Get an iTunes gift card & redeem that in iTunes using your existing Apple ID.
    Then the option for none, regarding a credit card should appear.

    how can i register app store without credit card

    You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    If you don't use those instructions when creating an account then you will need to enter credit card details (which you should be able to remove after entering it) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

  • How can i reboot my mac without lion cd previous owner installed it thru itunes?

    how can i reboot my mac without lion cd previous owner installed it thru itunes?

    Lion is usually installed through the App Store not through iTunes. There is no Lion CD. If you need to perform activities normally requiring an installer DVD, then you do it as follows:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    This will boot the Recovery HD and present a main menu of options such as Reinstall Lion, Restore a Time Machine backup, and run Disk Utility to repair the hard drive. There are additional options in the Utilities menubar item.

  • How can I lock my mac without putting it to sleep or logout?

    Hi,
    I want to be able to keep my mac running, but when I live my home I rather want it to be locked. But the only choices I have is to logout, put it to sleep or minimum waiting for 3min for the screensaver to start.
    I've searched for widgets and through the OS it self and haven't found anything.
    Any one who know a little hack that you can do this?

    I am not at my Mac right now, so I cannot verify the correct settings, but here goes:
    You can do this through the Keychain Access utility. Go into Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access, and then click on "View" on the menu bar (Authenticate as administrator if the screen is grayed out by clicking the padlock in the lower left corner). Click on "Show Status in Menu Bar" and save your settings. Click the padlock again to disable changes. Now a black lock icon should show up in the upper right hand corner on the menu bar. Click it and your choice will be something to the effect of locking the keychain, and locking the screen.
    You can also use the fast user switching menu that was mentioned in another reply, but if you do and you just click on "Login Window" in the drop down users menu, and you have your users show up as a list of names with pictures, it is more insecure because it showes exactly who is logged in, and their name is already spelled. This is the same problem with the Keychain method and the screen saver -- the name of the user is already filled in. To prevent would-be thieves from accessing you mac through Fast User Switching, change the login box to display name and password fields instead. This method doesn't allow someone to see the logged in user, but it is inconvenient until you get used to it. Hope this helps.

  • How Can I restore my mac without the original software disks?

    Hi I have a preowned macbook pro that i got from a friend. I would like to restore the computer back to its original settings because it is asking me for user passwords when i go to install something and the old owner does not remember the password. I do not have the disks the computer came with. Is there any other option to restoring the computer back to its original settings without the disks? I am still trying to figure out the mac "world" so may not be aware of all settings.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, open "System Information" app or "System Profiler", and copy "Model Identifier", and copy it here. I'm not completely sure if you have a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Instead of reinstalling OS X, first try resetting the user password. To do it, open  > About this Mac, and see "Version". If it's 10.7 or 10.8, follow these steps > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 If it's 10.6 or older, you need the DVDs, so call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    After doing that, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator user for you

  • How do i control my mac without mouse, trackpad, ect?

    magic mouse won't work. trackpad worked like crap, so i broke it.
    cintiq works ok, but not with touch.
    how can i control the mac without a mouse or trackpad? is ther a wired method to make the ipad control the mac?

    You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.
