HT2534 My iTunes does not offer the "none" in the payment type option.  Any suggestions as to how to set up account without a credit card?

I was following article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534  -- it instructs me to select 'none' for payment type.
I (my teen) do not have a credit card.  I want to download free apps and use gift cards to purchase music.
Any suggestions as to how to set up account without credit card?
Thank you,

Did you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page when creating the account ? I've just tried it on my Mac's iTunes and the instructions still work e.g. find a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' button, and on the popup click on 'create apple id' - when you get to the payment details screen you should see the 'none' option.

  • HT2534 Are we no longer able to create accounts without a credit card?

    I saw the instruction of how to create an account without a credit card on the support website, but I can't create my account doesn't matter whether I use my laptop or my ipad.
    Why? why??
    Everytime I choose "none" as an option for credit card, the system tells me to seek assisstance on this support website.
    I watched a video on how to make a no credit card account online, the system didn't stop him, so I wonder if we have to choose a credit card when creating an account now     I have a point card but I can't use it now because of my account.....

    Those instructions do still work, I used them yesterday in response to another thread and was able to download a free app with it. Are you currently in the country where that is account is based ? You need to be in a country to be able to use its store.
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT2534 create itune account without a credit card I do not have the none option

    I am trying to create an itune account on my iphone 5 I do not want to add a credit card.  I have read several posts that say select the none option I do not have that.  Please let me know how to set up itune account without a credit card just using it for free apps.

    You are following the instructions on the page that you posted from exactly, and you are trying to create a new account and not update an existing account i.e. you are selecting a free app in the store and clicking on 'Create Apple ID' when 'buying' it ?

  • My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library.

    My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library. why?

    YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
    I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
    HAve written to Transmit for their input.

    Check out the article below to see what could be blocking you from selecting None as a form of payment.

  • HT2534 why my itunes doesn't have the none button on payment type?

    why my itunes doesn't have the none button on payment type?

    I haven't gotten anywhere, unfortunately. 
    Just to confirm we're having the same problem: I'm using a 4th generation iPod touch and I'm using the Nike+ iPod app to link to the Nike+ Sensor that goes in the insert in the shoe.
    After I finish a workout, I click "Send to Nike+" which switches to Safari and loads nikeplus.com.  I log in and... it doesn't seem to do anything else...  Nothing shows up on nikeplus.com.
    Has this pretty much been your experience as well?

    I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when you created the account ? They worked for me yesterday on my computer's iTunes when I tried them in response to another thread.
    e.g. I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price'
    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    And after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as the payment method.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • I am trying to set up an account without a credit card. When I get to the screen which asks for credit card information, 'none' is not an option. Why not?

    I am trying to set up an iTunes account without a credit card. However when I get to the screen that asks for credit card information, 'none' is not an option.  According to the instructions on the website, that should be an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the response,
    Yes, I followed the instructions to the letter. But it asks for credit information anyway and 'none' is supposed to be an option when setting up an account 'with no credit card'.
    I have two new iphones, the first one set up as expected, where 'none' was an option. Now that I'm attempting to set up the second with different information, there is no 'none', only Mastercard,Visa, AmerX, Discover and Paypal.

    uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
    ... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....

I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

    How can I create a iTunes account without a Credit card?

    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.

    Adobe does not make a flash player for ipod/ipad/iphone and likely never will.
