"None" is not an option when setting up new iTunes account

When you google the words, 'itunes without a credit card' the first result is: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 which says that all you have to do is download a free app, then agree to the terms and conditions and choose your country then....
Select "none" as you payment method.
I've been looking for a solution for this everywhere and I keep finding conflicting reports, but I can tell you with certainty that "none" is not listed when I try this method.
So with that in mind, can anyone tell me how to set up an itunes account (for my daughter if that makes a difference) without entering a credit card? I don't want my daughter to be able to spend hundreds of pounds in the app store.
I am so frustrated by this that I will send £10 paypal to the person who gives me the solution.

My daughter will have to ask me to gift her apps which means I have the control over the spending.
You can get her an iTunes gift card or set up an allowance.
The method that I have described is still useful for people who do not want to associate a credit card with an iTunes account
The method as shown in the article does that also. And your way the user needs an existing iTunes account with a CC linked to it to gift an app.
since for 69p they are able to get around that
The idea is that no CC or money is needed to create an account for free apps (and iTunes artwork).
I have forwarded a suggestion to the forum hosts and asked them to review the article and add to make sure the user logs out when using an iPhone to create a new account (as is shown for the computer).
However, glad you got it all sorted!

On each device go to Settings> iTunes and App store> Turn off automatic downloads of Music, Apps and Books. Now a purchase will only go to the device from which it was ordered.

How to sync when setting up another iTunes account

My son just turned 13 and I want him to start using his own iTunes account. He had been using mine (I have an iPad and an iPhone) but I'd like him to start using his own account. I set up an iTunes account for him and figured out to do the home sharing so that he can import apps from my library that he wants. These apps now show up on his computer under his iTunes account. However, when we try to sync apps, it looks like it will erase everything he has on his iPod and replace with what we have checked, which is fine but will it erase all the folders and force him to set those up again? Is there no way for it to keep the apps that he already has in the folders they are already in? I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right but hopefully someone has done this before for their kids and nows what I'm asking.
Thanks.
Lisa

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
After you have Recovered your Device...

Can't set up new itunes account because confirmation email comes to old email address (can see it on iMac but can't access on iPhone)...what to do?

Use Manage Apple ID in the link provided. You do not need to create a new Apple ID as the other poster suggesred. Once done you old e-mail wo't be used as an Apple ID anymore.
Do you have music, apps or books bought using the old Apple ID?
Note: Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card. When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card. When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

How did you create it ? There are instructions on this page for creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing existing account) without giving credt card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. if currently logged into an account then log of it, then find a free app in the store, click on its free 'price', and you should then be able to create a new account during the 'buying' process and get 'none' as an option on the payments screen

I am trying to set up an account without a credit card. When I get to the screen which asks for credit card information, 'none' is not an option. Why not?

I am trying to set up an iTunes account without a credit card. However when I get to the screen that asks for credit card information, 'none' is not an option. According to the instructions on the website, that should be an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response,
Yes, I followed the instructions to the letter. But it asks for credit information anyway and 'none' is supposed to be an option when setting up an account 'with no credit card'.
I have two new iphones, the first one set up as expected, where 'none' was an option. Now that I'm attempting to set up the second with different information, there is no 'none', only Mastercard,Visa, AmerX, Discover and Paypal.
My wife is ready to throw hers out the window, help me stop her...

Hello Lozza63
Check out the article below to see what could be blocking you from selecting None as a form of payment.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

Do you have a few words missing in the original question ?.
When i upgraded from LION to MOUNTAIN LION it made NO difference at all to my MyBook Live !!!
reading the original post again and again, do you in fact have two My Book Live units, an old one and a new one ?
