Problem creating iTunes account

Hi guys,
   My friend recently bought an iPod touch 4th generation. But while trying to register the product it keeps asking for the Credit Card details. He doesn't have one. And so is unable to create an iTunes account too. I don't remember using any credit card detail while registering my iPod or iPhone. Is credit card an absolute necessity? Can't we provide details at the time of purchasing any app?

Well, lots of views to your question, and I don't
have an answer.
Thanks for the response. It's frustrating as heck since essentially every Music Store function except anything requiring an account is working fine. iTunes works perfectly normally on my home Windows 2000 install & this behaviour is completely bizarre.
Just posting to let you know you're not being
ignored. I'd buy stuff from the Powerbook. (lucky
devil)
Yeah, that's the obvious solution. The catch is the iTunes problem install is on my parent's PC & the powerbook will be leaving with me after the holidays...
I'm just hoping this problem magically disappears after the holiday traffic disappates. At the moment I'd say that's unlikely simply because of the consistency of the problem: browse the store & everything is quick & fine, hit Sign In -> Create New Account & in under a second the error message pops up. If I attempt to login using my account it pops up the Accessing Music Store progress meter & then gives me the same error message.

Note w.r.t. the Rogers ISP query: Rogers 'fixed' the iTunes Music Store problem a few weeks ago (they either re-configured their traffic shaping devices to not label iTunes traffic as peer-to-peer or they turned them off until Cisco fixed the problem for them) - this problem was affecting me in Toronto. Note that I believe the same problem was affecting BC users as well, though whether it was Shaw or Telus I'm not sure.

  • When creating iTunes account, my mom provided her credit card information and the system does not accept pre populated province and gives the error message ("please enter at most 3 letters or numbers for province") how does she get past this?

    Why is my mom getting the error message for province when trying to create iTunes account when providing her credit card information?

    Hi Nahal,
    I'm just wondering, is it possible that your Mom (originally) got her credit card in a different province?
    I don't know much, but of this I am certain:  Apple would absolutely, positively, love to help you create an iTunes account!

  • HT2589 in our country we dont have iTune Store if i create iTunes accounts in another country can i use my local bank credit card??

    In our country we dont have iTune Store if i create iTunes accounts in another country (example UK) can i use my local bank credit card??

    No, you need to be in a country and have a valid billing address in that country to be able to use a country's store. If there isn't an iTunes store in your country then unfortunately you won't be able to buy any content from iTunes.

  • By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc.

    Hi! By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc. After that, everything i have bought/downloaded and etc disappeared.What should i do?

    The primary email addresses on iTunes accounts have to be unique, you shouldn't be able to create a new iTunes account with the same primary email address unless the existing account had been deleted (only iTunes Support can potentially delete an iTunes account).
    Had you asked iTunes Support to delete your existing account ? If you did then that would also have deleted its purchase history. Or had you changed the primary email address on the old account ?

  • 13 year old unable to create itunes account

    My daughter wants to create an iTunes account for herself instead of using my wifes.  She has been trying to do this for over an hour with her real DOB and no matter what she does she keeps getting an error message "You cannot create an apple id becasue you do not meet the minimum requirement".  She is almost 13 1/2 and we do not understand why she is getting blocked.  The TOS said she just has to be 13 to have an account.

    I was having the same trouble with my MobileMe sub-accounts (MobileMe Family Plan). I went through all the support emails and calls with no success. I fixed the problem by removing the affected sub-account/email address and then re-established the same sub-account/email address. When you re-establish the sub-account/email address it will tell you that you cannot since it already exists - but there is an option to re-establish the sub-account/email address by entering the correct password. After I did this, I could manage the sub-account/email address with no problems whether it was in iTunes or in the management of the AppleID settings.

  • Can't create iTunes account or change country of iTunes store

    Hello,
    I hope this is the correct place to post this question.
    I am set up my iTunes account, and the problem I'm running into has to do with the 'country' setting.
    Going through the account setup process, at the credit card information screen, I click the link in order to change countries. I select 'Canada', and click 'Change Country'. At this point I am sent back to the iTunes store main page, which is set to the United States.
    If I scroll to the bottom of the main store page, and select 'Canada' to change the country setting manually, I get the error, "Could not complete the iTunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
    I have checked my Norton Internet Security firewall settings. I have cleared the DNS cache. The iTunes store functions normally in other ways, i.e. I can play song previews.
    If anyone can help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated!

  • Can't create ITunes Account

    Just got a new nano & the ITunes Music Store is not allowing me to create an account. I hit "create an account" then move to the "agreement" page. I click on Agree & then my computer tries to start up a windows program & then can't find it so it closes ITunes! ARGH! I've been trying to get the account set up for 2 nights - ready to send it through a wall. Any help would be appreciated.

    No, I will try that tonight. Thanks & I will re-post if it does not work. Thanks for the hint.

  • Problems with iTunes account after migrating to iCloud

    I've been using my iTunes account with a specific credit card for many years without any problem. After I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud aprox. 1 month ago every time I try to pay for an app, song or iBook I get an error message telling me that the postal code of my account doesn't match the one inth bank records. I've checked and the postal code is OK (is the same I've been using for years!). What could be the problem?
