HT2534 "No" is no longer an option for billing information for apple store. is there a way to register without a credit card?

I see in the online documentation that it says you can choose "None" for billing option and register for apple store with a credit card but when i try to do this on the iphone 5 i was recently given, "none" is not an option and i cannot proceed without entering a credit card.
i don't have a credit card and would love to use this phone with free apps. Let me know if there are any workarounds.
thanks!

Read the steps in the support article from which you came carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
If you are certain you're following the steps exactly as given and are creating a new Apple ID and still have problems, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

    No, you will need to contact the previous owner, he/she is the only person that can remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515

  • There are no decent "Auto Reply SMS" apps out there. Besides for looking everyday in the store, is there a way to be notified when a new one crops up?

    I am new to the iPhone world and I have the 4S. I just switched over from the Android World. I know there are no "auto reply SMS" applications out there as I've checked everywhere (store and 'net) looking for one. In this world of trying to be safe while driving I cannot believe Apple as the leader in the industry hasn't developed something yet to deal with this. I entered a shortcut in my keyboard of "qq" to be a "I'm driving right now...." auto text but I cannot believe there is nothing out there right now. My question, besides if anyone knows of anything for a non-jailbroke phone, is how can I find something once it comes out without checking the store so often? I set up a Google alert but is that about all I can hope for??

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Is there a way to by-pass adding credit card information for general computer updates

    That's all.  I just can't seem to get around adding cc information when all I'm trying to do is simply update the computer.  Thanks for the help.

    If available in the payment methosa choose None.

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • 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.

  • HT2534 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?

    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 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.

    You are creating a new account ? If you are then you didn't follow, exactly, the instructions on that HT2534 page when you created it - I've just tried those instructions and I got the 'none' option on the payments screen.

  • HT2534 Why do I not see the "none" option under Billing Information?

    In Apple's instructions, there should be a None option in the dropdown for billing information under visa, mastercard, amex, but I don't see this anymore!

    You won't see None until you start using the Credit Card.

  • 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 ?
