HT4461 Can I set up Mac App store without credit card info? This computer is for my kids.

I'm setting up a mac for my kids. I don't want a credit card associated with the app store, but I want access to free apps for them. How do I sign up for the app store without a credit card? I already found a tutorial online, but it is outdated. The option for "none" is no longer there.

  • How do I run Mac Apps Store without credit card number?

    Dear all,
    some years ago I started an Apple ID account, but I never used it to purchase apps. Recently I tried to download free apps using Mac Apps Store, but I was asked to complete my profile and to add my credit card number, apparently without it I cannot continue the procedure. What should I do if I do not intend to give my credit card details?
    Thank you,
    Marco

  • How to create iTune or App Store without credit card for my existing Apple ID without create new Apple ID or email?

    I got 2 Apple ID and the first time to I use it to iTune or App Store, a box will pop out and telling me this:
    "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the i Tunes Store. Please review your account information."
    Then, I click on the button, "Review". Bla bla... but ended up, I must provide a credit card in order to complete it.
    I do not have credit card, so I search 'How to create iTune or App Store without credit card', same link and same tactic only valid for New Apple ID.
    So, it seem no other option to create iTune or App Store without credit card for existing Apple ID, right?

    The same thing is happening to me!

  • Mac App Store - No Credit Card

    Hello,
    I have been trying to figure out how the **** I'm supposed to accept the new T&C of the Mac App Store without a credit card. I do not and will not own a credit card but the option to select 'None' is not present in the Mac App Store.
    Any Help? D:

    Same problem here.... I don't have a credit card and never will, So, I purchased a $15 iTunes card. I installed 10.6.6, launched the App Store, signed in with my Apple ID, read the T&C which did not specify that a credit card was needed to redeem the cards which it does say are accepted forms of payment. Agreed to the T&C, continued to the main page of App Store and clicked link for iMovie '11.
    Price listed as $14.99. Clicked 'Buy', logged in, page loaded with input for credit card, gift card code and previously registered account info. Entered the gift card, clicked continue....
    Clicked again when prompted to redeem gift card and was returned to main page of App Store - No download of application occurred.
    Clicked link for iMovie '11. Clicked 'Buy' presented with "Insufficient remaining store credit" and only option is to log in(again) and enter credit card info.
    In App Store Help under "If you're having trouble", followed these instructions: If you’re still having trouble, click Support in the Quick Links section. Upon clicking 'Support' link in quick links of App Store, this page comes up:
    "Hmm, the page you’re looking for can’t be found." NICE!
    SUMMARY: Redeemed $15 iTunes card. Account showing $15 balance. Click to purchase $14.99 application. Unable to purchase and download app. Support link bad. No readily available contact information for App Store support to be found.
    Needless to say, I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the "Mac App Store".

  • How can i register app store without credit card

    how can i register app store without credit card

    You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    If you don't use those instructions when creating an account then you will need to enter credit card details (which you should be able to remove after entering it) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

    If you plan on buying anything from the App Store, you need to register a credit card with your Apple ID.
    This has nothing to do with your iPhone.

  • How can I use app store without credit card.... Because I don't ve it....

    Plx help me... I can't download any app from the app store.... Plx tell me how cn I make an account without credit card....

    If you already created an Apple ID and you are trying to finish it without using a credit card - you may have problems with that. The key to creating the ID without a credit card is to download a free app first - before you create the ID. You will be prompted to create the ID once you try to download a free app.

  • HT2589 How do I set-up an apple ID without credit card info or a gift card?  I just want free apps.

    I want to download a few free apps and do not want to add my credit card info to my Apple ID account (unless or until I make a purchase).  How do I do this so that I'll have an ID# to enter instead of account # or gift card # ?  Thanks!

    The instructions on the page that you posted from work if you are creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) - I've just tried it and I got the 'none' option.
    i.e. on my computer's iTunes 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 :
    Agreed to the terms, filled in my details, and got 'none' as a payments option :

    Hello bigmike11,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
    Change your payment information on a Mac or PC
    Click to open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID), or follow these steps:
    Open iTunes and click iTunes Store.
    Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
    Click your Apple ID and select Account.
    From the Account Information page, click Edit to the right of Payment Type.
    You can see the payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts in the Payment Type section. If you want to remove the payment method, select None in the Payment Type section. See what to do if None isn't showing or you can't select it.
    Change your information and click Done.
    Best of luck,

  • Apps store without credit card

    I'm a newbie in mac, I'm having trouble to update my apps at apps store.
    When I want to update my apps, the system asked for a credit card number. Since I do not have credit card, I can't update my apps.
    Is there a solution for me to update my apps without providing credit card number?
    Thanks a million

  • How do I use my Apple-ID in App-Store without credit-card?

    Hello,
    When i try to use my Apple-ID in iTunes im forced to enter credit-card information or a gift-code. In the support section its showing a screenshot where you can choose 'None', but there is no option like that.

    Hello Adembey,
    This article states the reasons why you might not see "None" as an option when setting up your Apple ID for the iTunes Store.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
