Itunes Store Account ??? Help

I have just recently bought an ipod nano, and want to get album art for my songs. It says that you have to have an itunes store account, but when i try to creat one, it needs a credit card, is it possible to create an account without a credit card???

This is what worked for me.
When it asks your for your iTunes account, try typing in the username/password that you have for the discussion boards. So it would be adam067, followed by the email server ie yahoo.com, hotmail.com etc, and then the passowrd you use to log-in.
iTunes should then say 'this is not set up for itunes etc' and take you through several set-up screens, and the credit card screen should be skipped.

One iTunes Store account, two computers, really need help!

Ok, I have just one iTunes store account however i had 2 different computers i used to download the music. my home computer was originally the one i used but then when i moved, i lost internet so my boss let me use my work computer. however after about 5 years of collecting music on that computer my boss got sick and abruptly sold the business. sadly my music went with that computer. I need to find out what to do to get my purchased music downloaded to my laptop now that i have internet. it was all under the same account just downloaded to my work computer instead of home since homes didn't have internet at the time. what can i do?! I've lost all that music! i can see on my account where i purchased it, but i can't seem to get it on my laptop now! please help!!

the following post by Zevoneer, though slightly off topic, says it all:
Did you *back up* your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
*You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download*. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Create a NEW account 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.

Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country.

Should we share itunes store account if we use home sharing?

Right now, my children and I share an itunes store account, but it is getting hard to manage their itunes gift cards this way. Should I just bite the bullet and have them each get their own account? How will this affect home sharing? Do we just have to authorize multiple itunes store accounts on all the computers or does that even matter now that the content is no longer copy-protected. I only have some copy-protected items on the one original account and it is quite a bit of money to upgrade them so I would rather not do that. How would this work with syncing devices?

No home sharing does not delete anything. It does exactly what it says it does, it shares your music library with others and vise versa. I use it all the time in my home, and works perfectly. All it does is wirelessly adds music to your music library that you are able to play. Do you need help setting up iTunes Home Sharing?
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with,
Cheers,

Hi Michael,
Yes it is now resolved but not after I send iTunes a request for help and explaining the problem. They send a first reply explaining how I needed to verify my account and gave me the link to do that. You and I know that this did not help, so I replied telling them that this was not working and iTunes did the reset for me.
You may want to open a help ticket with iTunes help. That is the only way it works.

How to get Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information I want to create a Paid Books Account use apple ID

I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?

Can multiple iTunes Store accounts be linked to one iTunes Library

Hi there! I'm having trouble getting a clear answer to this question. If I'm being confusing, forgive me. We are a family of three with two iPod Touches and one older iPod. We recently purchased a new iMac and I migrated our common iTunes Library to the Mac. We won't be using to PC anymore. There are three separate accounts on the Mac but all of them point to the same iTunes Library.
Up until now, we have been using my Apple ID/iTunes Store account for all purchases. I would like to set up a separate iTunes store account for my daughter so she can use all the gift cards she gets to make her own purchases. *If I give her a separate iTunes Store account, can whatever she purchases go into our common library?* I don't want to her to lose access to all the apps and music we have already accumulated.
If both accounts can download content to the same library, can I expect any problems when I sync the different iPods? All of them are set up to sync manually so that we can choose which music playlists, movies and apps go to which device. Will my daughter have to sync her iPod twice -- logging each iTunes store account once -- to get all her content? Are there problems with updating apps?
Sorry this is so long! I keep getting the same answer from an Apple tech via e-mail but it doesn't address the exact points of my concerns! Thanks for any help you can provide.

We have several macs, several ipods, a couple of iphones, several itunes store accounts. So far no problem. You might have to share passwords if you want to share content. I think iStore accounts can only be used on up to 5 computers. We have 7, so have to be a little careful about that. I don't think there is a limit on how many iDevices can be used with one account. I also don't think there is a limit on how many accounts can be used on a single computer (might be wrong about that). You have to be logged into the iStore to download content, and your computer has to be registered with the account to use the content, but once it is on, and registered, syncing to an iPod is not a problem (you do not have to login in again for each account the content was purchased from). I'm just glad I only have two kids, and one wife - things could get trickier in a big family with . . .

Did you use an existing Apple ID or create a new one just for paid books sales/distribution?

Use and update purchased apps from one iTunes store account to another?

I have two iTunes Store Accounts (Apple ID's) with the vast majority of purchases, music and apps, made on one account, but I've created a second account and wish to use it to sync with my iPhone.
Will I be able to continue to use and update the apps on my iPhone purchased with the first account?
Thanks.

This sounds like the kinda thing Apple support might be able to help with. It's possible they might be able to merge the 2 accounts or switch user names around or something.
Apps and Protected music files are locked to one account. I don't think there is any way you(personaly) can transfer and/or updated them on a different account.

How to delete an "Available Download" from iTunes Store account?

Greetings,
I’ve downloaded various “free TV episodes” to my MacBook Pro from the iTunes Store, watched them, and deleted them.
The problem is that the next time I start up iTunes on my MacBook, iTunes automatically goes to the iTunes Store and begins “Checking for Available Downloads,” where the already deleted (from my MacBook) “free TV episodes” are *still* listed on my iTunes Store account as “available for download”. Thus, the downloads start to download again (and again, and again, and again . . .) automatically - after they've been deleted (repeatedly).
I’ve logged into my iTunes Store account to see if I might delete these listed items directly, but I see no place where I might access a list of “Available Downloads” so that I might update it. Can anyone help with how I might *permanently delete* the already downloaded and already deleted items?
Thanks Much!

Reboot the iPad and then see if you can delete the stalled download. Try swiping across the progress bar as well after you reboot.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How do you cancel an itunes store account?

I need some help here. Im trying to cancel my itunes store account as I don't use it anymore but keep getting charged a $1 weekly fee. I know its only $1 a week, but it's still a waste. I cant find a link anywhere to cancel the account so any help would be great.
cheers

You do not get charged anything unless you make a purchase in the iTunes store.
When you first create your account, there is a $1 hold (not a charge) placed on the account, which is used to simply verify the credit card account. This is released, usually within 24 hrs.

Can't log into iTunes store account

So I can no longer log into my iTunes store account. When I try to log in, I get an error message in red letters saying:
FieldName: null. java.lang.Exception
I have tried resetting my password mutliple times with no luck. I can log into my Apple Store account, I can log into the forums (obviously since I am able to post on these forums), yet iTunes will not let me log in.
Anybody else experience this as well or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help

I am experiencing the same exact problem you are. What gives? I never messed around with my login information and I've always gotten in before. But now I can't.
I've also done the password reset, and still it won't let me log in with the new password.
This is the same red error message I get as well:
FieldName: null. java.lang.Exception
Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks.
