No credit card--can't download free apps.
I printed out the instructions listed in the link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534) because I am having the same problem not being able to download free apps. When I get to the step to select "none" for credit card, this selection is not there and won't let me go past without a cc. My daughter had here ipod first and she did not have put any cc info in and has no problems. How can I get past this?
Are you sure you're starting the account creation by clicking on the "get" button for a free application? I signed out of my account in the iTunes store, went to the App store and chose a free app. In the resulting sign-in prompt I clicked on create account and filled in the information, using an email address I've never before used with iTunes. When I got to the "provide a payment" screen I was able to choose None. Note that this won't necessarily work if you don't start the process by going to a free app and clicking Get.
If you're still having trouble, try making sure that your computer is running at least iTunes 8.0.2. Click your Help menu and choose About iTunes; the exact version you are running is in the very first line that scrolls up.

ITunes is asking for credit card details to download free apps
I've never had an apple product before so im new to this, but i now have an iPhone 3GS on IOS 4.1. I can't update the iPhone as i have it unlocked and it will remove the patch. I know that to download apps you need to put in card details, but i dont own a credit card. Apparently, it's supposed to give me an option not to select any card, which would allow me to download free apps but that option isnt there. I can't download any apps, not even free ones.
There are instructions on this page on how to create a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it

Still need credit card info to download FREE apps in App Store
Why has this issue not yet been addressed by Apple? How is it even sensible that people must provide credit card information just to download FREE apps in the App Store? The App Store was launched months ago! This is very unusual of Apple and their policy of making things simple for customers.
That is Apple's policy.
You can setup an Apple ID without a credit card.

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.

Can I download free apps to my iPad without putting in a credit a card??
Can I download free apps to my iPad without putting in a credit a card??
I think that the trick to this is that you have to try to download a free app in order to get the iTunes store to ask you to create the account.
Copied from the kb article above .....
Creating an account on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
If you already have an account, choose Settings > Store. Tap the Apple ID displayed and choose Sign Out.
Open the App Store on your device.
Find a free application on the App Store.
Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install the free application by tappingFree followed by tapping Install. -

Hey Shamannnig!
Here is an article that can explain a little more about this situation:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

how can i download free apps with out a credit card
If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
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 without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

Do I have to have a credit card to down load free apps?
Do I have to have a credit card to down load free apps?
You must have a method of payment on your iTunes store account to download free apps. The method of payment is used to verify your identity and age. It does not have to be a credit card; see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
