How can i set up IPAD2 without an American credit card?

Ok.. I have purchased my IPAD2 in NY, USA, i live in Barbados but I cannot set it up because it will not accept my local credit card.  What to do?  Why sell product outside of US and not accept international credit cards?

This has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Apple.
Why would Apple want to place any non-required restrictions just for the heck if it that prevents the sale of music, video, and apps, and the same for those who own the distribution rights for music and videos and 3rd party app developers, which are the ones who earn most of the money with the sale of music, video, and 3rd party apps via the iTunes store and App store, not Apple?
The sale of music, movies, and 3rd party apps involve licensing issues in each country, and laws/regulations and restrictions in each country. Some of the reasons why some music for sale via the iTunes in the U.S. is not for sale via the iTunes store in England or in another country and vice-versa and the same for music and tv shows also affects the sale of 3rd party apps in each country.

    - Create a NEW account/ID for her 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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • How can I verified my appleID without using a credit card ?

    Hi ! I registered to an AppleID. Now, I need to verified my account, but I do not want to verified it with a credit card. How can I proceed to solve this problem ? (Without a verified account, I can't use any services provided by iTunes Store...)

    Hello,
    Does this link help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Basically it explains that if you create a new Apple ID you can select 'None' for Payment Options.
    If you already have a Apple ID there is another link in the page above which explains how you can do it.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to pay for icloud? I no longer trust apple with my credit card. How can we pay for icloud without using a credit card?

    Having had recently a problem with my credit card with itunes (the only place I ever used that particular card), and several fraudulent charges, I no longer wish to give my credit card information to itunes or any other apple outfit. Can we pay for icloud by cheque, or money order, or some other way, perhaps a bank account where I would leave just enough money to cover the payment. This would be the only I would pay for icloud. Please let me know. thanks.

    iTunes Store credit or gift cards cannot be used as a form of payment to upgrade your iCloud storage (payment methods accepted include credit and debit cards).

    Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.

    Did you order from the Apple on-line store? If so, see this link about canceling the order. However, it may be too late.

  • Can i create apple id without use the credit card?

    can i create apple id without use the credit card?

    I'm getting the same thing. I created a new Apple ID via the Internet (appleid.apple.com) When I go to my device to try to use it, I have to review it first and in that process, I'm asked for a credit card or iTunes gift card. There is NO 'none' option.
    I work in a school district and we'd like employees to use their own apple ID for free apps which will allow them the freedom to explore apps without weighing down our tech dept with myriad requests for random apps. I deal with a broad demographic and many users are suspicious of putting personal credit card info on an Internet-based account.
    However, it appears they are locked out of the store unless they have some form of payment on file. Even if they enter a gift card, what happens when it's used up? Will they get locked out of the store if they don't have a balance?
    Anyone have a work around? If not ... APPLE Please update your support materials to explain this, or fix the bug.
    Thanks!

  • HT5622 how can i download free apps with out a credit card

    how can i download free apps with out a credit card

    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.

  • HT204088 I can't create an apple ID for not using credit card. How can i create an apple ID with no credit cards ? Thank you.

    I read the supporting article. But those pictures were old. Also the format had changed. I can't create an Apple ID with no credit cards? I got no credit cards. I am just a secondary student and how can I have a credit card?

    Follow the instructions on this page exactly : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 i.e. select a free app and click on 'create Apple ID' when 'buying' it (it worked for me yesterday).
