I want to set up my Apple ID for my phone but it ask for the Gift Card but I dont use them ? what do I do ?
If you are trying to create an Apple ID without using a credit card, you have to follow the directions in the article you were reading (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534) exactly. Note that you have to start by downloading and installing any free app, then create the ID. You shouldn't be asked for a Gift Card to create the ID.

When I try to set up an Apple ID, it's asking for a credit card, and there is no "None" option, like this page suggests. How can I bypass this? This iPad is for a younger child who has no credit card, and will not need to make any purchases.
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
13. When email arrive, verify your account
14. Start downloading your free apps -
iTunes: I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie. I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card. How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?
I took this straight from the help menu.
You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
Hide
Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window.
Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased. -
Want to buy something Ap Store and I came to buy I have the answers to the questions of safety, now I forgot them, I went to MY ACCOUNT MANAGER website and there was no reset was some other reset but it asked for the answers to Secure
Morning AndreD86,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These articles explain exactly what is backed up by using their method.
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
and
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
Also we want to double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar to the right.
Then make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted.
Best of luck,

I tried to use Apple Pay at the 1280 Lexington Ave store in NY but was asked for the last 4 digits of my cardnumber and it never worked. The question itself made no sense but I tried in vain by supplying it as well as the security code. I didn't know the last 4 of my proxy card number.
Open Passbook, select the credit card you are using, touch the Info icon on the lower right. This will display the last four digits of the ‘Device Account Number’. These four digits are what your retailer wants to complete the transaction, NOT the last four digits of your card number. Some retailers require this, others do not.

I just bought a new Ipad mini a while ago, and created a new apple ID *********** , I can't download anything on apps store, it keeps on asking for a credit card but I don't have one. Can I create an account without a credit card?
<Edited by Host>Read this:
iTunes Store: Accepted forms of payment
It is the same for the app store. You are required to have some sort of payment method in the record.

I have recently had my MacBook Pro and iPad stolen so I have bought a new iPad, since syncing to my existing Apple ID account I keep getting another Apple ID popping up asking for the password. Does this mean that the owner of this appe ID have my stuff?
You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

I had 10$ gift card that works only on US. I redeemed the gift card but back in the game i get buy stuff and it says "you cant buy in US store you must swich bla bla bla" i dont want ti swich because the 10 $ works only at the US store. Help please.
Hello SBentley22,
I can only imagine how upset I would be to discover that over $1000 in gift card funds seemed to be missing. I certain that I would not do well with the additional complications that you've described either. I apologize for you and your boyfriend having to cope with this situation. Certainly this was never our goal.
I was unable to locate the purchases or returns that you mention using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed. I would very much like to look into this situation for you and do what I can to help, but I will need more information to begin. If you will please send me a private message that includes your full name, telephone number, and the Customer Service PIN from the receipt where the gift card was issued, I'll get started with my research.
Please know that I'm extremely grateful that you took the time to bring your situation to our attention. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Hi i made a new apple id and then after i verifed it i went to make an update on tiny village but it asked for the password of my old
accountIf you purchased that app with the old ID, that is the only ID you can use to update. Apps are tied to the ID used to purchase them.

So I have set up a localhost area in my Mac. I have the new server.app and I am running yosemite 10.10.2 .
I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac .
It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?
I am pretty certain that the Serveris "localhost",
Name is my macs name (like my-mac-min)
password is "my login password"
and they suggest port 21.
But what is the file path, lets just say my site is set up http://localhost/siteftp and is actually at my Users/Sites/siteftp folder.
Why cant this program connect to the mac.
Is it because they are both operating in the same localhost enviroment,
could it be my folder permissions are not correct on siteftp folder?
Help please !I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on. -
I Changed my Apple ID and PW they work fine. But the old Apple ID keeps popping up asking for a PW, how can I get rid of the pop up request Or the old Apple ID? This only happens on the iPad.
Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

Then I changed it to Malaysia but I can't because the App Store ask me to give the credit card number thing. But friend does that too. But the App Store didn't ask him for the credit card number when he changed back to Malaysia store. Please help me. I really need it. Thanks

Reset the device then try the App Store.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.
When you can, yes, there's an update available.
Tap Settings > General > Software Update -
When I opened my App Store today, I found 6 apps needing update. I clicked “Update All” and there popped “Sign in to iTunes Store” and asked me to enter the Apple ID password for <my account>. I entered my password for the Apple ID but it said “Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.” Since I entered incorrect passwords many times, I had to reset my password two times already. I want to update the apps on my phone. But, I can’t , and this is tiring, exhausting, and frustrating. My questions: (1) Why is iTunes asking for a password for an old account when I changed that already? (2) What to do now - Do I sign out of iTunes, delete the account and create a new one?
<E-mails Edited by Host>We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates. -
