HT5621 I created and apple id but want it to be a free apple id and it is asking for a credit card number. What should I do?

I am trying to create a free Apple ID for my sister that has a learning disability. I created the account but it is asking for a credit card for which she does not have. What should I do?

Create a NEW account/ID for her 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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • OS X Mavericks is offered as a free download, why is apple asking for a credit card number?

    Can someone tell me why apple is asking for a credit card number to download the Free OS X Mavericks?

    Yes.  This is what it says.
    Resolution
    You might not be able to see or select the None payment option for one of these reasons. If you don’t want to use a credit card, you can use another form of payment, such as a gift card.
    If you have an unpaid balance or payment due
    You can't select None as your payment type until you pay your balance. To see which order you need to pay for,view your purchase history on a Mac or PC. When you sign in to the store, you might see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
    After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
    If you’re using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time
    If you’re using the store for the first time with an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method. After you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
    If you’re creating a new Apple ID, you might be able to create an account without entering your credit card details.
    If you changed your country or region
    When you change the country or region of an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing options. If you want to remove your payment method after you change the country or region, you canchange your payment information to None.
    She hasn't changed countries nor regions, she's not using the either store for the first time, nor does she owe anything.  She doesn't have a gift card.  She's just a person without a credit card.  She did have one, and now she doesn't.

    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5366
    If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click “iTunes Store” in the left navigation pane. Click the “down arrow” next to your name at the top right side of the page and click “Account.” Enter your username and password and click “View Account” to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click “Edit.” Select the “None” button and click “Done.” Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

    Yes, you can sync your own music to your iPod via your computer's iTunes. If you have the music on your computer but not yet in your computer's iTunes then if it's in a compatible format then you should be able to add it via File > Add To Library - if it's not in a compatible format you will need to convert it first.
    If your iPod is on iOS 3 then it sync to the iPod app, if it's on iOS 5+ then it will go into the Music app (in iOS 5 the iPod app was redesigned and renamed).

  • I have a itunescard but it also ask for a credit card but i dont have one but the itune card

    I have A I tune card . But It Also Ask For A Credit Card Number Also. But I don't Have A credit Card

    There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
    You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password.  There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

    You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
    Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

    Hello, Lynne. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is a helpful article that explains how iTunes purchases are billed. 
    iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When using iTunes to purchase content for the first time on a new device, it may require you to verify your payment information as a way to authenticate your device.  If this not a new device attempting to access iTunes store and prompting you provide payment information, there could be an outstanding balance.  This article will show you how to verify you purchase history and invoices. 
    iTunes Store & Mac App Store: Seeing your purchase history and order numbers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    Also, you can change the payment method as none as long as there isn't an outstanding balance on the account.

  • I have redeemed my itunes money and want to buy music -yet it keeps asking for a credit card.  Won't take money from my account.

    I have money in my account -yet when I try to buy music it keeps asking for a credit card.  I saw that someone else had the same problem -yet no answer.

    Yes, it's a bind isn't it. I'm also new, just trying to help my young son download free games, but the amount of personal data that has to be divulged for such a simple task was quite a surprise and somewhat overwhelming.
    All to help him with his much wanted iPod which he got for Christmas. Thanks mum!

  • HT2534 When I try to set up an Apple ID, it's asking for a credit card, and there is no "None" option, like this page suggests. How can I bypass this? This iPad is for a younger child who has no credit card, and will not need to make any purchases.
