HT1918 I can't select 'None' in the payments section when I'm trying to make my apple ID.
I'm trying to use my account on an iPod touch, and it prompts me to make an apple ID again because its never been used on app store.
I'm trying to do it from my MacBook Pro but when it goes to the payments section there is no 'none' option. There is no 'none' option on the iPod touch or the Macbook Pro. Please help!
Did you follow the instructions on this page when creating the accout (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 ?
e.g. if currently signed into an account then you signed out of it, and you then found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
And then on the popup that you get clicked on 'create Apple id'
When I tried it a couple of days ago in response to another thread I got the 'none' option on the payment details screen.

You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
2. Go to App Store and select a free app
3. Tap INSTALL APP
4. Create New Apple ID
5. Confirm Your Country
6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
8. Create and answer your secret question
9. Select NONE for Payment Method
10. Fill in Billing Address
11. Submit application for new Apple ID
12. Wait for verification email

The "none" option on the payment page is only available if you have iTunes Store Credit on your account.

HT2534 i can't find none in the payment options
i can't find none in the payment options
You are creating a new account and not trying to update an existing account ? If you are then if you select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it then you should get the 'none' option - that process worked for me on Saturday.

While creating an account from my iPad there is no option for selecting none in the payment options. It states I have to give my credit card details. What's the procedure to open a free account?
It's in the article. You must first sign-out your current account, then go to App store to purchase a Free App. It will ask you to either Sign in or create a new AppleID. That's when you start creating a new AppleaID and NONE will be available as a payment option.

I have visa, mastercard, amex, discover and paypal - no "None" option for payment method. What do I do now? Assuming I don't want Apple to have my credit card info for no reason.
I figured out how to do this and I will explain it here so if you are trying to figure out how to get the None payment option then please read this as I will explain it in great detail so you can not fail when tryiong to figure it out. By the way I had to do this 7 times to finally figure it out, I was literally on my last try and I told myself if it didn't work one more time I was going to just return the iPhone I just bought a day and a half ago. So here it is the walk through that will really work:
Before we start I want to suggest that you do this on your computer not your iPhone. I attempted this on my iPhone the first time and it did not work. Meaning it did not give me the "None" option for payment types. The method that finally worked for me was doing this on my home computer. The following is exactly how I achieved this:
#1 Important read and follow each step individually and exactly before moving on or you may have to repeat the entire process!!!!!
#1 cont. If you already have an Apple ID that you have made with your favorite email account and you are not getting the "None" option after following the steps given on the walk through then guess what you have to scrap that Apple ID, there is no way around it unless you want to give CC info which is why you are here in the 1st place right? I know totally stupid and ******** as heck right? But there you go now you can forget about the other Apple ID you made. You are now going to have to create an entire new email account so you can do this like I did 5 times, but you only need to do it once, thank heavens right!? You have to do this unless you have an email account that you have not already attempted to creat an Apple ID with, if you have an email account that you have not used while attempting to create an Apple ID with then you can use that email account, if not then you need to make a new one, again, I know!?!? How fricken ******** can you get? Thank the Apple folks they designed it this way for God only knows why?
I don't know of anyway to delete an old Apple ID there might be someone on these forums that knows. The way I see it is if I never put personal information in it and it never worked who's ever going to care about it, I made 6 Apple ID's and none of them worked so I just forgot about them. I finally figured it out on the 7th one.
================================================================================ =
#2 OK, step two now. So if you needed to create a whole new email account you're probably feeling about as ****** as I was at this point, except I was 5 times as ******.
So in step number two, you just need to open up iTunes at this point. Once the program is open there is an iTunes store icon/button in the upper right corner of the program. Click on that button. (please note it does not matter if your phone is linked up with your computer).
================================================================================ =
#3 Step three. Click on the App Store optionnear the top of the screen in the center.
================================================================================ =
#4 Scroll down the page until on the right hand side there will be in bold Top Free Apps. Choose any one of the FREE apps and click on it.
================================================================================ =
#5 After clicking on the app it will pop up with a box asking if want to create Apple ID click on that option. Finish all the stuff secret questions and all to create a new Apple ID, yes you have to make a new one.
================================================================================ =
#6 Finally you will get to the page where it looks just like the payment page but the None option will be there now, don't ask why, again, only God and the horrible web page designers at Apple know why. You will still need to fill out the information on that page but you will notice as long as you have chosen the None option that it is not asking for any credit card information this time. Fill out the information and it will send a confirmation email thing to your new email account. Do the confirmation stuff that it requests and vioala you can now use the Home Sharing option in iTunes and sync your files. Wow, kind of a very long and ******** journey but we finally made it, yayyyyy!!!!
Apple should really, really, seriously considered getting this fixed ASAP!! -
HT1918 i havent got the none in the payment section and i want to remove my card?

i tried to remove my credit card info but there is no possibality to o that, i need to remove it so my son can't buy anything by accedint and i also want to remove the gift card that i entered
so now I have to close an account I've held for 5 years and lose all my content...... am I right?
No.
I suggest you contact iTunes support.
-> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and was declined because I didn't have enough funds. This is fine. This happens all the time. Its cash.
I wouldn't say "this is fine" and it is not cash.
In many places, attempting to use a debit card with no funds (even if you don't know there are no funds) is fraud and is illegal. -

TS1424 How come I can't select none as a payment option?
Can someone help me
Did you follow the instructions in the article you were reading exactly, especially step 3 (you must first download and install any free app, then create the ID)?

i have no any credit card
Have you tried creating a NEW account using these instructions? You have to use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. However, it may not work in all countries. It works in USA.

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Saranbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"
I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

How can I select adn enlarge the entire document/image on a page, reducing the the surrounding boarder? I can move the different text and image boxes around independently of each other but the outer most boarders of the main template block appear to be fixed. I thought I would be able to enlarge or reduce my document from 'page layout' but this does not seem possible.
Inspector > Document > Document Margins
The word is border. Boarders are the Harry Potters of this world.
