I want an itunes account without using a credit card

My kids add music, from my library, to their ipods on my comuter as well. They have itunes gift cards to use for their purchases. How do I sign up? Additionally, I am very unhappy with the inability to choose my OWN playlists, thank you very much, I bought 4 of the new nanos (with touch screens) for my family for Christmas this year... Itunes is making me regret that decision. Do I have to have itunes to add music, since I have a very extinsive music library already?

yes unfortunately you have to use itunes
You can choose your own playlists and songs

This can be done with different songs for different ipods

  • How to get an iTunes Match without using a credit card

    I'm from Mexico and I'm seventeen. How can I join the iTunes Match without using a credit card? I've bought an iTunes Card but I'm not sure if I'm able to buy the subscription for a year with it. I CAN'T FIND THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT IN ESPANISH :@! Lucky I speak two languages...

    The only options for purchases from iTunes are credit/debit cards or iTunes Gift cards.

  • HELP me set up new account without using a CREDIT CARD or PAYPAL

    I am setting up an iTunes account on a Dell PC. The account setup wiz asks for a credit card but I do not want to use a credit card, instead use gift cards only. Am I forced to add in a credit card to activate an account? Is there a way around this?
    Thanks
    dan.

    No-
    Go back to the home page of the iTunes Store. To the right, under Quick Links, click on Redeem. Enter your gift card information, and then go through the prompts to create your account again. When you get to the payment information step, it should now give you the option for "none" since you've already successfully entered your gift card code.
    Good luck,

  • How do I create an iTunes account without placing a credit card on file?

    Can I just use a gift card or will they still require a credit card on file as well?

    Unless you sign up for iTunes Match, upgrade your iCloud storage, or gift content, an iTunes gift card will be enough.

  • Can you set up an iTunes account w/out a credit card?

    Ok, here's the deal... I'm buying a 10 year old an iPod Touch for Christmas.  She needs to have her own iTunes account for purchasing stuff (apps, music, etc.) Is it possible to set up an iTunes account WITHOUT adding a credit card? I need her to operate completely off of iTunes gift cards so that I can 1) controll how much she spends, 2) avoid having to either enter my password every time she wants to buy a Justin Bieber song with my debit card, and 3) avoid random charges popping up on my credit card whenever she does purchase said Bieber songs by letting her know the password in an attempt to accomplish task #2... 
    Is there a way to set up an iTunes account without entering billing information? So that the account operates on 100% iTunes credit?  Is there a parental setting to block access to the card used to set up the account? With all the kids with iPods there has GOT to be a way to set this up... or else there are probably a LOT of broke parents chasing after them....

    You can re-download music from the store using iTunes on your computer. Music from other sources should already be on your computer in the iTunes library.
    As for photos, you will have to restore the last backup you made to another iOS device to get back what was in the camera roll.

  • How can I make an iTunes/Store account without giving my credit card?

    Hi everyone,
    We recently decided to start giving out iPhones at work on our company cell plan to employees.
    Along with this, we're using one of the AppStore apps to do user tracking/maintenance on the phone, and I was curious if there was any way to make the Apple IDs/Appstore accounts without giving a credit card number to verify the account.
    We don't want to have everyone use their own credit cards, nor do we want to use the company cards to register, in case someone gets crazy and starts buying paid apps.
    Is there any way around this?

    Hi judifrom!
    I have some links for you that can help shed some light on the subject of gifting through iTunes and Apple IDs. The first can be found in this link:
    Gifting - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/help/gifting
    and the relevant information in that link can be found right here:
    Gift Cards and Certificates are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased. Only residents of the U.S may redeem gift certificates purchased in the U.S.
    You can still help them set up an Apple ID without payment information so that they can download free items through the iTunes store though. The steps for performing that can be found in the following article:

    How can I clear my apple account balance without using a credit card?

    Unless you can find an item in the store that costs the same as your balance then you will need to contact iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I live in Italy and opened my itunes account with an Italian credit card. I want to access only English itunes and Apple said I need to open separate accounts. Any suggestions?

    I live in Italy but am Australian and opened my itunes account with my Italian credit card and address, but that does not let me access itunes in any English country which is what I had wanted. Apple tell me I need to open separate accounts, complete with address and tel. Yesterday they told me I could do that with an itunes prepaid card but on the Aust itunes store the card was considered invalid (obviously because it is in Euro) Any suggestions? I am sure I am not the only person living in another country who needs access to itunes in their mother tongue......how backward is Apple!

    To be able to download content from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country, and be in that country when buying from it.
    Apple can only sell content where the content provider's grant them licenses to do so, so if the music etc that you want to buy isn't available in the Italian store then it's because the provider's aren't letting Apple sell it there. Do you have access to other music purchase download sites which have the content that you want ?

    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. 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,  iTunes U content or podcasts without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
