There are instructions on this page for creating a new account without giving credit card details (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
If you didn't use those steps when creating it then you will need to give card details
For future info, typing all in capitals is considered shouting and makes posts difficult to read, and may mean that people don't reply to your posts.

  • 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.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The only way to get free apps without a bank card is to create a new Apple ID  following Apple's steps very carefully;

    You can create an Apple ID without using a credit card for purchasing free apps by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.  Follow it exactly; note that you start by downloading and installing any free app, then create the ID.

    See if this helps.
    Make sure you're not signed into any ID and that you have an e-mail address that's never been associated with any Apple ID

  • TS2446 How do I change the credit card number in itunes, the system will not let me change the last four numbers for verification

    the itunes will not allow me to change my credit card number it takes the acct #, the date but the four numbers on my american express are frozen.

    I am stuck with a similar problem. I moved from Ireland to the UK but for some reason, iTunes would not let me change the country in my payment information, it remains Ireland. I do not have any credit to spend and I still cannot change it. I even set up a new iTunes account and the country still remains uncangable. Hence, I cannot add the details of my UK card as iTunes believes it is set in Ireland. Have you managed to solve your problem?

  • Why am being asked for credit card info for a free app of the day?

    IIf an app of the day is free why am I being asked to update my credit card info?

    If you have a credit card on your account then it has to valid and its details correct.
    If this is the first time that you've tried to use the account in the store then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

  • Why do I need a credit card number on file to download free apps?

    I've had this itunes account for several years. The last CC that I had on file for making purchases has been lost (and reported as such). So, obviously my payment information regarding that card is no longer valid and I can no longer make purchases. Understandable.
    I am, however, still waiting for a new card to be sent to me before I can go in an update the information.
    What is boggling me is that when I attempt to download updates or other free applications, itunes (on my phone) keeps asking me to sign in and provide payment information (which I do not have). It will not let me download any free apps or updates without it.
    1. Why?
    2. How do people who use gift cards or paypal use this function on their iphone/itouch? (or, really anyone who either doesn't have a CC or doesn't want to use it). There's GOT to be a way when I see other people walking around with their iphones/itouches dl'ing free apps just presumably without a linked credit card on their account. Right?
    I know all I really need to do is wait for my card and update my info when it gets here, but there are some pretty important updates that I kind of need now.

    You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:

  • HT2534 Created an Apple id but it is asking for credit card info, and i dont want to give that, neither do i want to create a new account.

    Dont trust apple for my credit card info on my iphone5s. So is there any work around? dont want to change the appleID.
    Cant get the option of None in payment options. Even tried it by selecting my region as US.
    Tried to sign in from Icloud as well but it doesnt work.
    Please help..

    Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering it
    Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    If you don't want to enter you card's details then you will need to create a new account, and use those instructions when creating it

  • I want a refund on the Match purchase billed to my credit card.  I did not want to renew.  I do not like Match.  It limits my ability to control my music.

    I need a refund issued to my card on line.  I did not authorize a renewal of Match.  I hate Match.  It limits my ability to control my music on my devices.

    You probably did kind of authorize it by not turning off auto renew .

  • It ask for a credit card number in order to use itunes?

    signing into my itunes account it ask to review account and also makes me put in a credit card number... no option to put NONE...will not let me browse store unless i add credit card number... please hlep..connacted apple care and they said i shouldnt im waiting for a response from support...

    Yes.  With a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and updates. You can create a new free apps-only iTunes account that is good for free app.  You will still need a valid payment method to update any apps purchased with the other account.
