HT2589 Unable to use my Apple ID in the App store for free apps without card details

I set up an AppleID independently of setting up an iPad. I tried to download the free iBooks app and came to a screen asking for the AppleID and then requiring that I enter a payment method. I have seen in forums that this is a common problem. I have updated the os to 5.1. I have tried to log in to iTunes on my pc but with the same result.
Is it yet possible to set up an App store account without payment method using an existing AppleID?

Hi ...
The iBooks app comes pre installed on an iPad.
If you can't locate the iBooks app, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
If that didn't help, swipe left of the Home screen. Type   iBooks  in the search field.

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Can i use my apple ID on the US Store?

    I have an Apple ID and I download apps from the Lebanese store. Can I use this Apple ID and download apps from the US or France Store?

    Sorry, no.  iTunes has about 120 country-specific stores.  To use one of them, you need to have billing credentials in that country, and be physically in that country at the time of purchase.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

    After each step, toggle  iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically  is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable  iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • HT4428 Since updating the software to version 5.3 I have been unable to use my Apple TV due to HDCP issue.

    Since updating the software to version 5.3 I have been unable to use my Apple TV due to an HDCP issue. I have eliminated the HDMI cable as the problem problem. My Television is HDCP compliant. And prior to updating my Apple TV to the current version all content was availble and streaming beautifully.
    Is it possible to revert to the previous software update version?

    If you can't use another card, how about redeeming iTunes gift certificates on it instead?

    How can i skip the viewing on my account when i has not use my apple id? The main problem is i do not have a credit card... so what should i do?

    You can't, you will need to enter a credit card number before you can use that account in the store.
    There are instructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.
