HT1918 Created ID online...can't sign into iTunes without credit card

I created an Apple ID online and when I try to sing in to iTunes from my iPad it is requiring a credit card.  This id will only be used for free app.  Is there a way around this?
Thanks so much!

Been getting the same thing.
Also got an email alert saying:
Dear <Name>,
Your Apple ID, <Email address> was just used to purchase <Film> from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
Not quite sure what is going on.
I have been getting error 5002 logging in as well.
Changed my pw just in case but I also googled this problem and it looks like over the years there's been a lot of posts and it's due to a server outage (or something similar) ... so I guess it's their end?
In any case I will be watching my bank account very closely in the next few days!
Edit:
Just happened to try to log in again and managed. Purchase history looks ok (only thing I wanted to check for the past hour while I had this issue). Hopefully problem solved, and just a temporary glitch.

  • I can't sign into itunes and complete a purchase

    I can't sign into itunes without constantly having to change my password..the system will not let me complete a song purchase without the incorrect password message even though I've changed it 3 times!! help

    What is the full text of the message that you are getting ?
    Messages about countries usually refer to the country that you have on your iTunes account. You have your correct billing address on your account, and you are in that country ? If you can't log into your account directly on your phone to view/correct your address details (e.g. via Settings > iTunes & App Store), then can you do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com ?

  • I can't sign into itunes, I get no error message.

    I can't sign into itunes, I get no error message. Anyone have any ideas. I've reinstalled it and nothing seems to work..

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Can not sign into itunes get error code 5002

    I was able to sign into iTunes, but when attempting to download a song I received error code 5002 and to try back later. Now I Can not sign into ITunes at all and am still getting the code 5002. I've changed my credit card info via store.apple.com but this did not fix the problem. ran diagnostic check and everything is fine. Is this a problem on their end?

    I fixed this error for my daughter after a while by working out that the address in her login profile was a different country from the iTunes and App store that she was logging into...
    I also blogged about it to try to help others as this took out a good 6 hours of my Christmas evening trying to set up my kid's MBP.

  • Changed my Apple Password and still can't sign into iTunes.

    I changed my apple id password and now I can't sign into iTunes.

    Delete the account (Settings>iCloud>delete account) and add a new one using the new ID.

  • After reinstall can't sign into itunes store

    after reinstall can't sign into itunes store

    Hi,
    you updated to iTunes 11.0.3 (42), and before that, all worked fine?
    Instead, now, everytime when iTunes chooses to have you enter your credentials again, they're practically ignored, i.e. the dialog re-opens just like before, like in a time-loop (à la Groundhog Day)... Of course, if you enter something wrong, just to test, you get an error message telling that, but that doesn't help at all.
    If so, or even if not, try this:
    log out (click on account to do so)
    log back in (of course, your Apple ID is empty then!)
    you're good for another [insert Apples timeout here]...
    Hoo-ray. Really nice, isn't it.
    I already filed a bug report; please swamp Apple with more “Thank You”s by clicking iTunes (next to the Apple on the left-hand-side), then “visit iTunes feedback site”, and fill the forms there. Thanks!
    HTH, Felix

  • Can't sign into iTunes - luddite newbie - please help!

    Hi,
    Just bought an iPod touch refurb, 3G but I haven't upgraded the OS system to 10.5 from the pre-installed 3.1.3 if I'm not misunderstanding things.
    I'm running an iMac (2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) purchased approx Nov 2007 running OS 10.4.11. I've upgraded my iTunes to the 9.2.1 release, set up an Apple ID and when I try to sign in to iTunes I get told the ID hasn't been used on iTunes yet (this much I knew already), I then get asked to review my account details before I'm almost immediately told "Your session has timed out. Try again."
    I've done a search for fixes, but if I'm honest, most of it is beyond me technically. Can anyone help please?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Kev

    Call off the dogs!
    I used my iPod to sign into iTunes, which then allowed me to create the iTunes account properly, then, hey presto, I was able to sign in to the iTunes store on the mac!

  • I can't sign into iTunes on this pc so I can authorize it. I wan't to do this so I can transfer purchased iTunes music on my iPad mini to this pc. When I try to do this the response I get is just to try again later. Can anybody help me with this?

    I can't seem to sign into iTunes on this pc so that I can authorize it. I want to do this so I can transfer purchased iTunes music on my iPad mini to this pc. The response I keep getting is to try again later but its been days so I don't think that is the problem. I know I am using the correct user name and password so I don't know what's wrong. Can anybody help me with this?

  • Can't sign into iTunes 10.4

    Need help guys...after installing iTunes 10.4 to my iMac i3 (10.6.8), i can't sign into it but i have no problem to sign into iTunes 10.3 version and below

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, sign-in and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
