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 do I set up a family apple account without a credit card?

    I don't have a credit card so it won't let me set up my kids an AppleID.  Is there any way to bypass this?

    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).

  • How do I set up a new apple ID without losing data off one phone?

    I have two iPhones (5) with one Apple ID.  My husband updated his phone to iOS8 last week and I did mine today but it looks like we have to set up separate Apple ID's in order for the phones to work properly.
    General > Privacy > Location Services (off for now) > Share My Location <-- it's in here that it keeps showing his phone and not mine. I keep setting to my phone but it keeps reverting.
    I also have an issue compounded to this - My Apple ID for some odd reason is set up to use HIS phone number and not mine. I can't seem to change that anywhere in the settings on the Apple site. Help here would be greatly appreciated.
    The My Support Profile page will not let me update any of my device info. Hitting the save button just shows the 'working' circle graphic and it never actually stops and saves.
    So, it seems that I need to create a new Apple ID for the other phone line and I am unsure how to do it.
    Where on the phone I need to change do I log out of the one ID in use?
    Should we start on Apple.com and create it all there first?  Then log into the phone? I am going to assume yes.
    Same for iTunes - get Apple ID and then log into iTunes. That one is a 'no brainer'.
    So, once the new ID is taken care of and set up, how does he not lose any of his current apps and music? Will it all be there or will he have to set up his phone all over again as if from new? What about all the purchased apps in iTunes he's bought with my ID?
    Right now we feel kind of 'stuck' and afraid to use the phones until I know what to do to solve these conflicts.

    Thank you Lawrence, I know how it all works.
    I'm pretty sure if I need to use Find My Phone I can log in from any device into that stupid cloud as long as I have activated it on the phone first. Sometimes I do use that method when traveling but not for daily use.
    We can share our iTunes products easily between the phones on both the computers.
    I don't trust the cloud. You may feel free to do so but I won't and I won't buy a basic phone because of my mistrust. Although the stupid cloud claims your data is secure or encrypted etc, it's a database. Period. One giant database and SOMEONE has to have access to the information UNENCRYPTED to manage, restore etc. There ARE master users or whatever you want to call them and I'm sorry, I just don't trust. I also have a stalker and because of that I am extra cautious. Don't worry, he's already facing two felony charges and trying to worm out of a jail sentence.
    My cell phone and internet provider promised me security and my email addresses have been sold to the highest paying spammer and I get HUNDREDS of spam emails daily. For the first two years I was spam free. Didn't even see that crap in my junk folder but the last 5 years it's increasing daily. Now how does that happen? Unscrupulous employees is my guess. Especially since I do not use my regular email address for things I know will generate spam. I'm very cautious of my privacy online. Very.
    Thank you for believing iCloud is safe but you did hear about all those celebrities whose photos were hacked and stolen from iCloud, didn't you? THIS is (one of many reasons) why the cloud can't be trusted.

  • 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.

  • Unable to Sign In with new Apple ID without a Credit Card

    Hi, I recently created a new Apple ID, but when I try to sign in with it in iTunes on my PC, it says I need to Review my account info, which then tells me to enter my credit card information. I do NOT have a credit card, and am unable to sign into my new Apple ID. Is there any way to fix this??

    Yes there is. All you have to do is buy an iTunes gift card and enter the code when it shows credit card information type your code and pick none on the credit card type.

  • How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account?

    How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter's MacBook, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account? (We currently share the same Apple ID and iTunes account). Hope someone can help... Thanks

    Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
    As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID.  Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -  In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
    So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account?  It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts.  If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

  • How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

    How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?  I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over.  It is driving me nuts!  Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system?  I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!" 
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
    You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
    The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

    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 content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

    To get the none option, sign out of anything apple you're signed into. Go to the app store and try to download a free app, any free app. Instead of signing in, take the option to to make a new apple ID. Then go through the steps to make the ID and you'll see the 'none' option.
