How do I create and use an Apple ID without a credit card or gift card?

My brother just bought a Ipod touch 2nd generation, ios 4.2.1, but I was trying all day yesterday trying to setup his Apple ID, but it keeps asking for his credit card. I read through some other posts that said to download a free app and it'll give you the coice to create a new account. So I did that. I filled out all of the information and it let me select "None" as the billing information, so I thought it was all set. He verified the account through his e-mail, it said "Your email has been verified", so he tried to sighn into the app store using his e-mail he verified, but it said something like "This ID hasn't been used on this device". The only options were Cancel or Review, so I clicked review and it took me to the registration thing again, all of the info was already filled out, except the billing info which wouldn't let me select "None".
  I tried sighning his account on to my ipod touch, it did the same thing as his, He's sighned in with mine right now, but whenever he downloads something, it downloads for me too.
   So if you can help, I'd really appriciate it, because it pretty annoying.

You have to follow the instructions here and use an email address that you have not yet used with Apple before.

  • HT2534 create and use an apple id without credit card

    According to Apple support (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534) - i can create an apple id without credit card details.
    In practice you cant, as both on iPad/iPhone and on PC you dont have the "Payment type - None" option
    Have you manage to bypass this?
    Is there a reason why this page is not updated per the actual use?

  • How do I set up a new Apple ID without a credit card?

    I think in the updated itunes software, they took away the "none" payment option. Is there any way around entering a credit card? I dont even have one, and I didnt before, why do I need one now? Its not like I can buy things without one on there..

    You can create an Apple ID without a credit card, Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method  but it is difficult to change the None option. You can add an iTunes gift card as a form of payment, but there needs to be a form of payment in an already created Apple ID. Sometimes, and not always, you can modify the Apple ID on the computer to select None, but it cannot be done at all on the phone.

  • How to use an apple id without a credit card?

    I created an apple id from the game center on my ipod touch 5th gen and it didn't ask me for any credit card information. When I tried to download a free game, it said my account hadn't been used in the itunes store yet and took me to a place where it asked for credit card information. I read up on how to create an account without a credit card, but it seemed the only way to access this was to create a new apple id. When I tried, it wouldn't work because I had to use the same e-mail address and it said it the e-mail was already in use. I only have one e-mail, so I tried deleting my old account but I can't find out how.
    Is there a way to keep using my current account and download apps without a credit card?

    Not that I know of. The
    Creating Apple ID without credit card: Apple Support Communities
    only works with a new ID/e-mail address.
    You can contact iTunes:

    You need a credit card at initial setup.  This is a legal requirement that you, as the Family Organizer, are taking financial responsibility for the minors.  After it is set up, you can switch to a debit card.  But there have been no exceptions to having the credit card initially (and not for lack of people asking).

  • Re: How do you create and use "common" type classes?

    Hi,
    You have 2 potential solutions in your case :
    1- Sub-class TextNullable class of Framework and add your methods in the
    sub-class.
    This is the way Domain class work. Only Nullable classes are sub-classable.
    This is usefull for Data Dictionary.
    The code will be located in any partition that uses or references the supplier
    plan.
    2- Put your add on code on a specific class and instanciate it in your user
    classes (client or server).
    You could also use interface for a better conception if needed. The code will
    also be in any partition that uses or references the supplier plan where your
    add on class is located.
    If you don't want that code to be on each partition, you could use libraries :
    configure as library the utility plan where is your add-on class.
    You can find an example of the second case (using a QuickSort class,
    GenericArray add-on) with the "QuickSort & List" sample on my personal site

    Hi Richard,
    Your question about "utility classes" brings up a number of issues, all of
    which are important to long-term success with Forte.
    There is no such thing as a static method (method that is associated with a
    class but without an implicit object reference - this/self/me "pointer") in
    TOOL, nor is there such thing as a global method (method not associated
    with a class at all). This is in contrast to C++, which has both, and
    Java, which has static methods, but not global classes. Frequently, Forte
    developers will write code like this:
    result, num : double;
    // get initial value for num....
    tmpDoubleData : DoubleData = new;
    tmpDoubleData.DoubleValue = num;
    result = tmpDoubleData.Sqrt().DoubleValue;
    tmpDoubleData = NIL; // send a hint to the garbage collector
    in places where a C++ programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math::Sqrt(num);
    or a Java programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math.sqrt(num);
    The result of this is that you end up allocating an extra object now and
    then. In practice, this is not a big deal memory-wise. If you have a
    server that is getting a lot of hits, or if you are doing some intense
    processing, then you could pre-allocate and reuse the data object. Note
    that optimization has its own issues, so you should start by allocating
    only when you need the object.
    If you are looking for a StringUtil class, then you will want to use an
    instance of TextData or TextNullable. If you are looking to add methods,
    you could subclass from TextNullable, and add methods. Note that you will
    still have to instantiate an object and call methods on that object.
    The next issue you raise is where the object resides. As long as you do
    not have an anchored object, you will always have a copy of an object on a
    partition. If you do not pass the object in a call to another partition,
    the object never leaves. If you pass the object to another partition, then
    the other partition will have its own copy of the object. This means that
    the client and the server will have their own copies, which is the effect
    you are looking for.
    Some developers new to Forte will try to get around the lack of global
    methods in TOOL by creating a user-visible service object and then calling
    methods on it. If you have a general utility, like string handling, this
    is a bad idea, since a service object can reside only on a single
    partition.
    Summary:
    * You may find everything you want in TextData.
    * Unless you anchor the object, the instance will reside where you
    intuitively expect it.
    * To patch over the lack of static methods in TOOL, simply allocate an
    instance when required.
    Feel free to email me if you have more questions on this.

  • How do I create and use a watermark in aperture?

    Hello there!
    How to I create and use a watermark in aperture? do I need to download a 3rd party plugin? Any recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Aperture does not support the creation of watermarks; if you want a watermark image with transparent regions you need an application that can handle alpha channels - Prewiew, Photoshop, Pixelmator, Gimp, just to name a few.
    But once you have a watermark image, you can add it to an image, when you export from Aperture. Add the watermark to one of the Export Presets. You will need to create your watermark in different sizes, so you can add it to each of the export pixel sizes for your images, that you are using.
    Another possibility would be using the BorderFX plugin. This versatile plug-in also supports to add graphic overlays to your images, either when exporting or as an Edit plug-in.  http://www.iborderfx.com/BorderFX

    As I understand, there's no way to use an account without credit card, if it wasn't created in special way, don't I right?
    No, you're wrong.  You can choose 'None' as a payment option even on an existing Apple ID, as long as there is no outstanding balance in your current iTunes account.
    Click on the part in that article that says: updating your iTunes Store account information.
    On that article, you'll see how to change your payment information to 'None', and what to do if None isn't showing or you can't select it.
    Read the entire articles that we recommend.  Don't just skim through it and make assumptions.
