You don't need to enter credit card details if you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating an account - if you don't use those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you can download any item from the store (you should be able to remove the card's details after entering them).

Need credit card for apple application.

hi! i cannot use my account in apple because it need a credit card for payment, but i dont have any credit card.. i follow already your instruction on how to fill-up for no need credit card... but it different from your application.. no NONE selection will appear, only mastercard, visa, and am. express.. pls. help me..

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. If you don't follow them exactly as given, it won't work. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

Hello, Tayub Amin.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To create an Apple ID without a credit or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

HT5114 why i need credit card for this account?

why i need to have credit card for i tune account?

The 'none' option will be there if you follow the instructions on that HT2534 when you create an account - I've just tried those instructions again and I've got the 'none' option on a new account. If you don't follow those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you can use the account - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them

Usually just confirms the country you live in - you might not be going to make any purchases from the store but Apple are going to assume you will, and you can only buy from the store for your own country for copyright reasons. The credit card number verifies the country you are living in.

HT2534 Where did the option go to not use a credit card for Apple ID?

I downloaded itunes and began to make an Apple ID on iTunes. When I saw that it required a credit card, I came to this support site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534. I followed the instructions for a computer but found that there was no option 'NONE' on the billing page. I then tried making an Apple ID online and that worked, but when I tried to use that ID to log on to iTunes it still required a credit card. I could only use the account for discussions. I don't have a credit card, and nor was I planning on purchasing anything. I simply wanted to keep CD's on it and maybe some free books/music. Did this option change for the new version of iTunes or am I doing something wrong?

Check this out it should help:

Do I NEED Credit Card For iTunes Account?

I just got my iPod touch last night and my son is helping me set up my iTunes account and it says I need to have a credit card on file. Is there anyway I can not put a credit card before getting apps?
Thank-You

You can use an iTunes gift card to create an account. See this ->iTunes Store: How to redeem an iTunes Gift Card
You can also create an account without a card and use it for free apps and artwork. See this -> Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
Pay attention to step 4 "Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must purchase a free application by clicking 'Free App'."

Why need credit card?

givenidpod and losts of itunes $$ for xmas, have no credit card, can i still use? can you download w/o account. why does account need creditcard if i already have itunes prepaid card??

If redeeming a prepaid card or gift vouchers there is
no need to enter a CC.
Launch iTunes
Make sure to be logged off any account
Redeem your voucher
When asked create a new account - you will be given
the option to proceed without CC details
Hmmm... I've just been through this and didn't see that option (which doesn't mean it wasn't there, although I also had my brother check it, and he's a frequent iTunes Store user).
Our solution was for him to use his account, but now, of course, I can't play the tracks I purchased without his password!
This all came about because I don't have a credit card with a US billing address (I live in Australia).
Woe is me!

I want to use my apple credit instead of my credit card for apple tv to purchase a movie

Apple tv keeps asking me for my credit card security code to rent a movie. I want to use my apple credit.

If you have credit then it will automatically use that, the code verification is simply for security purposes.

Camera won't capture credit card for Apple pay

When I attempt to use the little blue camera icon option in Apple Pay to capture a credit card and it's info, nothing happens. The camera won't capture a picture of my credit card. I hold my phone camera hovering very still over my credit card making it's sure it's within the guideline over and over and nothing happens.
I know my bank and my credit card support Apple Pay.

Hi ...
Make sure your iPhone is updated to iOS 8.1
Tap Settings > General > Software Update
If it's already running 8.1, try a reset.
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 then try again.

I called apple tech support cause my iphone 5 charger just stopped working. Aplle tech support said they can send me a new charger but why do they need credit card information if i have only had the the charger for 2 months and i have 1 year warranty?

I called apple support because my iphone 5 charger stopped working and they said they would send me a new charger but why do they need credit card information if every apple product has 1 year warranty?

Hi CryyCorr33
Sound like they did what is called an express replacment. What apple does is they put a hold on your Credit Card for the amount of the cord because they are sending you the cord first. Then, once you receive the new cord in about 2-3 days, you'll put the defective cord in the box and ship it back out and when they receieve the defective one, they'll be able to remove that hold from you card.
I believe the reason behind the hold on your card is incase you don't return your defective one to them so they can find out the cause of the issue.
An Apple Retail Store could swap them out for you in store incase you happen to be near one. This requires no hold.
Hope this helps
