HT2534 No "none" option on IOS 4.3.4 for credit card/payment info

I tried what the above URL said by going to my iStore account and entering my existing ID.  It forces me to go to my account settings and in the account settings, there is no "none" option.
Its my view that its rather foolish of Apple to demand payment methods just to create an account.  There are tons of free aps.
And, no, I do not wish to upgrade to the latest IOS version which brings its own set of peculiarities.  I would claim Apple's basic model is broken by insisting people supply their credit cards just to create accounts.
I find this to be a consistent theme in Apple's UI.  This ecosystem operates under the model that Apple wants to micromanage and control every single aspect of the user's experience without any consideration for their options.  Of course, its Apple's right to behave the way they wish.  They' will just have to do it without the cooperation of users like me.  I'll stay with other platforms.  I refuse to divulge my private information.

If you want to use the email address that you used on the first account then you will need to remove it from that first account before you can do so e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's or via http://appleid.apple.com - you can create a new email address via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com to replace it with.

  • HT5278 If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?

    Hi All, anyone, or just helpful users,
    If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?
    I know the reasons why Apple no longer update IOS for Ipad 1.
    Due to end of life support, no bug fixes for older apps and constant vulnerabilities being exploited, does this now make the device insecure and vulnerable?  either information stored on the device or (especially) when making credit card payments through Safari, etc.
    Thanks in advance,

    I would say your biggest issue isn't as much your operating system as it is the network you use your device on. For example the most secure device in the world can be used at McDonalds open wifi and have its info intercepted....and it's not your device's fault rather the connection. Any security program is only as good as its weakest component.
    THe iOS operating systems are still very secure because they are highly resistent to viruses and malware....but a user can still click on that 'you won a million dollars' link in an e-mail and hand their personal info over to a hacker.
    If you feel you can no longer trust it, then stop using it. But I would say a user's internet connection and behavior are larger security vulnerabilities than any device.

  • HT2534 Created an Apple id but it is asking for credit card info, and i dont want to give that, neither do i want to create a new account.

    Dont trust apple for my credit card info on my iphone5s. So is there any work around? dont want to change the appleID.
    Cant get the option of None in payment options. Even tried it by selecting my region as US.
    Tried to sign in from Icloud as well but it doesnt work.
    Please help..

    Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering it

    If you don't want to enter you card's details then you will need to create a new account, and use those instructions when creating it

    You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - otherwise you won't get the 'none' option and you will need to enter credit card details before you will be able to use the account in the store

  • HT2534 I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said that i have not yet used this ID on iTunes yet. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It won't let me continue.

    I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said I have not yet used this ID with iTunes. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It will not let me continue without entering one in.

    - Add a credit card or other payment method like redeeming an iTunes gift 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.

    I have a student trying to set up an App Store account (she has an Apple ID), however she is being asked for credit card information.  The option of NONE does not appear as one of the choices with the other credit cards.

  • In which country exists option None for credit card

    In which country exists option None for credit card

    "None" is an option in most countries' iTunes Store if not all. I doubt anyone here can provide a definitive list since we're all just fellow users and don't have access to nor time to try every iTunes Store available.
    Are you encountering a problem? Can you ask a specific question? That will be a better approach toward finding a solution then asking blanket questions.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Does apple allows credit card payment in ios app for just user subscription inside the app?

    Hello,
    Suppose I want to develop an iPhone app which performs user subscription for the app to assist the user and provide the user with its facilities and this user subscription can be done only when user pays some amount to the app. Now what I want is that this subscription amount should be payable by providing the credit card payment in the app. So my question is that is this credit card payment allowed by Apple or such an app will be rejected by Apple?
    Thanks 

    Sorry but can you explain me does your reply means that I should use In App Purchase provided by Apple or I can use Paypal or other credit card payment options?

    In iOS 7, how to update credit card details.. There is tap available to change as suggested in other discussion

    Each time that you add or change your card details then a small temporary store holding charge (i.e. $1) may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
