How to setup Apple ID with no credit card?

I've tried setting up an Apple ID account for my daughter with no credit card and it won't let me. I followed the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 and when I do "None" is not an option. I only want my daughter to have access to free apps to be safe for now. Are there ways to put restrictions on an Apple ID so the user can only download free apps?

You have to ender the instructions from the App store. If you enter from theiTunes store you can't select the None option. Also, it has to be a new account.

If it is longer available then you can't get the app on your phone.

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).

Major Issue: VPP Managed Distribution & Apple IDs with no credit cards

Hopefully someone from Apple can advise on a temporary workaround for this issue, or when the problem will be resolved. If anyone else has experienced this issue with Managed Distribution using the VPP Token, and has a workaround, I'd be very grateful.
My set-up
OS X Server running on Mavericks, MacBook Pro
Using managed distribution via Profile Manager with the new VPP Token, I am successfully able to push FREE apps to my staff and students. However, problems occur when pushing paid apps. If I try to push a paid app to a staff Apple ID it's fine, because most of the staff have credit cards on file. The issue arises when pushing paid apps to student Apple IDs with no credit card.
This is a real issue, because we have purchased the app already, and technically it is 'free' to whomever we push the app to in our organisation. What has also happened is when apps have gone 'free' (promotions etc) we have been able to 'buy' them at their free 'price' via VPP, but when trying to distribute them using Managed Distribution (the only option available for free apps) it classes them as 'paid' and requires a credit card be attached to the Apple ID also.
Managed Distribution for our organisation, seemed to be the perfect solution, in that we could keep track of which members of staff and students had which apps and also have the ability to revoke them. Unfortunately because of the requirement for credit cards for VPP enrolled Apple IDs I am unable to distribute any paid or 'gone free' apps.
I imagine that as more organisations turn to Managed Distribution using the token, as it is still only early days at the moment, more and more people will realise that it is not possible. I suspect many people will be yet to test it out, but for the moment it doesn't work :-(

Hey there MrsStephenson. I was just getting on here to post a similar question regarding the new Managed Distribution. We are experiencing a similar issue with Paid App Distribution but even if we add a card to the Apple ID we are trying to push to it still doesn't work. I am glad to hear we are not the only ones out there with issues regarding Managed Distribution so far as I know the more folks running into problem the more traction this will get.
I have tried so many different methods of setting up devices and I just can't get it to work. Oddly enough about a week and a half ago it started working for about an hour or so on one of my devices I was testing with (iPad Mini Retina WIFI) but then quit working shortly later when I got out and iPad Air and tried again.
I have been working with AppleCare Enterprise Support/EDU Support but so far they have not divulged much information to me. Just about the only bit of information I have received from them is as of right now they don't have any work arounds but they have had a few more of this type of problem popping up.
It was odd in that when I first got my licenses and started implementing devices it was working fine. Then, out of the blue the apps stopped automatically downloading to the devices and I had to start selecting the Push Apps option in Profile Manager to get it to work. Then eventually it quit working all together and now only free apps will install.
I hope more people start reporting/coming forward with this issue as I know that should help expedite Apple to come up with a solution. I have about 20 iPads sitting in my cabinet that people are waiting for out in our shop and I can't do anything with them until I can distribute the apps to them.

HT4484 I let my grandson open an apple account with my credit card. He has been charging a little to much and I would like my credit card removed from this account. I do not know the apple id or password. How do i proceed?

I let my grandsn open and itunes account with my credit card. I want to remove my cc# from his account. I do not know his apple id or password. How do I proceed?

I would say let him fess up and give him a chance to mend his ways, but there is at least one app that goes for $900 (according to another poster's request for a refund). You may end up $1000+ deeper gone.
Change the account number which will close the current links and freeze/prevent charges under the old number. As I understand it Apple gets grumpy when charges get rejected, and you need to jump through hoops to get a payment method reattached.
Yes this is a grumpy answer.

For me it's the same, I've just bought an iPad mini two weeks ago but I cannot log in with any Apple account in FaceTime.
I enter my apple account in faceTime, then I press next the second screen and it shows "validating..." but it never gets validated.
What's happening? This is really annoying

"If you have registered your product or used any Apple services, you should follow this article to use an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store."
And in this article there's no info on how to use account without adding a credit card!
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.

How can i review the id without credit card information which i have created?

Create a NEW account 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.

How can I not pay with my credit card?

I recently switched my music store from my dad's side of the computer to my side and I had a music card on it. But whenever I go to purchase a song on itunes it forces me to pay with a credit card. how can i make it pay with my music card and not my credit card??

If the iTunes gift card you cashed was cashed in your father's account, then you can't really access that money. You can have him log into iTunes as himself, or you could even bug him to send you an iTunes allowance:

Can you retrieve an Apple ID with just credit card and phone number details?

My partner, a self-confessed technophobe, has had his iPhone for 18 months - it was set up by his mobile network provider (Orange UK) whose customer support has been worse than useless, keeping him on hold for around 2 hours so far and cutting him off twice. He's only just bought his first ever computer, at the same time that his iPhone stopped working, before he had time to back up any of his songs, apps etc. He's just got a replacement iPhone from our local Apple Store but there's no way he can restore his previous purchases as (what he thought was) his Apple ID... isn't.
Because his old phone had v3 software, he apparently never had to input his Apple ID - only the password. Presumably Orange set him up with an Apple ID (but didn't give him the details) as the only email address he's ever knowingly had isn't recognised as a valid Apple ID. Try to reset the password by email and the Apple ID system isn't clever enough to spot an unrecognised email address, advising a new password will be emailed with no email ever arriving (not even in junk mail). (Incidentally, I tried to reset the password on an Apple ID I know isn't valid - my work email address - and it still appeared to have sent a password reminder by email, rather than pointing out the ID doesn't exist!). Attempting to reset the password by answering the security questions results in the answers being incorrect, which they're most certainly not. Since he got his original iPhone, he's purchased hundreds of songs on iTunes. He's clearly been sent receipts somewhere, but we have no idea where.
Apple Store staff are, as usual, brilliant, trying their very best to help, but their hands are tied when it comes to iTunes support, which they tell me is operated as a separate company in its own right (they don't even have access to them by telephone, and iTunes support refuse to talk to me or my partner on the phone).
iTunes support is sending us around in circles, offering up the same tried-and-tested advice time and again, which we've told them many times does not help. They continue to issue the same advice even after sending them a frustrated email headed "PLEASE READ OUR PREVIOUS EMAILS BEFORE RESPONDING!".
I've tried, in vain, to contact iTunes support again about this (they even closed the support ticket even though the issue isn't resolved), and have had no response.
There must be some way Apple can locate my partner's Apple ID if supplied with his credit card details, mobile phone number, billing address and examples of recent purchases? We've already provided this information to iTunes support but, once again, it's fallen on deaf ears and we've had no response from them.
Can anybody help us get to the bottom of this? As it stands, he's spent a fortune on hundreds of iTunes songs and apps which he is legally entitled to download, but which he can no longer access, and iTunes support isn't very supportive.
(Incidentally, I recently switched allegiance from 100% Microsoft products to 100% Apple and I'm mightily impressed with their regular customer service, but iTunes support is a completely different animal.)
A million thanks to anyone who can help!
