ITunes Account for new iPhone without a computer?

I just got an iPhone 3G that I am trying to update and get applications on, but I don't have a home computer. Is there a way I can login and create an iTunes Account virtually? I don't want to purchase iTunes, just connect, set up account for apps, and recieve updates. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i saw your question wasn't answered yet (or maybe it is??)
anyway i think there are some ways to use the iphone without syncing it to a computer (par from firmware updates, i STILL havent been answered if i can just bring it to an apple store when the updates become available??)
as far as losing contacts and other information like that, its so easy to back that up via EMAIL or DROPBOX app, which is a free cloudbased storage method (up to 2 GB free with ability to gain more space)
Although i'm not the biggest Media-hog, so I dont really mind losing music/movies/photos etc, but the iTunes account is free and you can always download via your iPhone cool free apps like Pandora for internet radio!
Just sign up once for iTunes and try some of the methods listed above!

Can I make a new iTunes account for my iPhone without losing photos?

For the past four years, my sister and I have shared an iTunes account, as we were younger then and so liked roughly the same music. In April 2014, I bought myself an iPhone 5s, and connected it to our usual, joined Apple ID. Now though, we have very different tastes in music, and whenever one of us downloads songs they all get synced onto both of our phones. For Christmas, I was given a laptop, and have been thinking about simply making my own iTunes Apple ID, to give myself a completely separate account. What will happen to my existing songs and photos when I sync my phone to the new account? I am willing to re-download all my songs as it would make it easier for me in the future, but I'm worried about losing all my photos as I don't have a camera and my phone has many photos that are important to me on it. If I back up my phone on my old account, and then use it on my new account, what will happen to my photos and songs? Please help, many thanks in advance!

you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere. Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

I have multiple apple phones on one account can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone

I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes. Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?

You don't need to create two separate libraries.
If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

One itunes account for 3 iPhone 4

I am using 3 iPhone 4 in my family. Is there any problem for using one itunes account for 3 iphones?

No, you can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep track of the content on each device, including separate backups.

I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

Can I use two different iTunes accounts for one iPhone?

I have a UK iTunes account but am currently living in Qatar and for banking reasons wish to make purchases using a Qatar credit card only. For some idiotic reason Apple will not allow me to do this. If I have to open a new account to use my Qatar credit card can I sync music purchased to my iPhone without it deleting my music from my UK iTunes account when I sync? I've no faith at all in iTunes and don't know why they always seem to make it difficult to just spend my money with them.
Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks

Im pretty sure you can have more than one itunes account on your iPhone, might have to sign out of one in order to use the other(for downloading app or music probably). Although if you only mean to transfer your purchases from one account to another then I wouldn't have an answer, but most likely you can sync what you have on you're pc to you're iPhone since it has already synced with that computer previously.
Hope this somehow helps

I want to set up an iTunes account for my minor to use without having to input credit card information. I want to give him an iTunes allowance or prepaid iTunes cards for funds.
If this can't be done, can I create a user account from MY iTunes account to do basically the same? I do NOT want to tie a credit card to his account or user ID...
Thanks!

HT201269 Could I make a new iTunes account for my iPhone and transfer the music and tv episodes from the cloud of my old account to my phone?

I want to make a new iTunes account, but I don't want to loose all of my previous purchases from my old account. Could I create a new account from y iPhone? And with that new account, could I use the icloud from the old account to sync my previous purchases?

Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to purchase them. If you create a new iTunes account, you can still get your old purchases on your phone, but you'd have to sign out of the iTunes/App store with your new ID, then sign in with your old ID, then download them. Also, apps can only be updated using the ID used to originally obtain them. So, you'd have to sign out/sign in to update your apps that were obtained with the old ID.

Trying to add itunes account for new phone, sharing existing music folder

My wife's phone is already linked to the admin user account on my imac.
I have created another account to use for linking my own iphone 4 to.
I have tried the directions I have found so far for making the folder of our current music available to the new account: I moved the itunes media folder to the public folder, and went to the advanced setting in itunes in both the original account and in the new account, and pointed itunes to the newly located folder - music only shows in the original account. Going to itunes with the new account doesn't let me see any of our existing music.
I have not yet added my iphone to the new account. Will doing so help itunes set itself up?

You can have more than one account authorised on the same iTunes on your computer, but having/using just the one account us usually the best approach.
If you created a new iTunes account then you can log out of it on the iPad by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then log in with the old account. If you bought / downloaded any content with that new account then that content will be tied to that account and it can't be copied or transferred to a different one - so if you want to keep that content you will need to remember the account name and password in order to download any app updates to its purchases and in case you ever need to re-authorise the account again.
As long as you old iTunes account is authorised on the computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) that you connect the iPad to (and your content is on your computer), you should be able to sync content from that account to the iPad.

HT3965 When trying to sync songs from Itunes account to new Iphone 5s I lost everything on there...HELP

I just got an Iphone 5s. I plugged it into my computer to transfer all my songs from my Ipod Touch. When I did it erased everything on my phone...contacts, pictures, everything...Can this be undone????

This didn't happen by just by syncing your iPhone with iTunes.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
Sounds like you selected to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to your new iPhone. All data included with the backup is replaced by the backup for the device you chose to transfer to your iPhone, which includes contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll. Any music or apps that were downloaded with the iPhone can be redownloaded.
You manually entered all contacts on the iPhone, or are you accessing an email account on the iPhone that supports syncing contacts over the air?
