Unable to Create an iTunes account (free usage or otherwise) (iPhone 3GS)

So my father and I just bought our selves iPhones to stay in touch (today is the 24th... well now 25th). I recently wanted to try to get foursquare, skype, and a few other free apps so I decided to try making me an iTunes account. We tried 3 different credit cards to try and make one but they all came back with the same issue "your credit card was declined please try another pay method."
Jump to 2 hours ago I've been trying constantly to make a Free app account, the type where you go to the store, click a free app, apply for an account and say "none." When asked for credit card information, which then allows you to download free apps only. Well using this method I get the EXACT same responce "your credit card was declined please try another pay method."
Is there currently some issue going on with the iTunes store right now?
I should note I've tried making an account through both the iPhone and my PC.

I don't know what "something" you were trying to redeem, but if it was a valid iTunes Store give, go to the main iTunes Store page (within iTunes), click on the "Redeem" link on the right side of the page, and enter in the code from your card. You'll be able to create an iTunes Store account without needing a credit card.

  • TS1424 When i try to download or update my apps. Message pop out "there is an billing problem on your previous purchased". I tried to change my visa acct no. Still unable to access. Tried to create new itune account & access but they still showed old itun

    When tried to download or update it showed"there is a problem in billing from previous purchased" changed to new payment account still unable to access. Created new itune account still cant access, keep showing old account detailed. & asked for verification. Pls assist. Thank you.

    Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

  • How do I create two iTunes accounts under the same email address?

    I've got my account duplicated -and charged for apps I already own- by using my email address as login instead of apple ID, but I've been told it's my fault so…
    I'm trying to figure out
    *How do I do to create two iTunes accounts under the same email and having different IDs?*
    I mean, two accounts with different purchase history. It doesn't matter if billing address, or credit card are the same (or different) because none of them flag apps as "purchased"
    I tried today from iTunes, but it tells me the email is taken.
    Do you know any way a user can do it from our end? (website, iTunes, iPhone)
    If you've got charged by apps twice, please don't say it here. I don't want my post being deleted again. Thanks.

    Beavis2084:
    Expired .mac accounts HAVE NO EMAIL. You own the id (which iTunes requests to be spelled in form of an email)
    Also, FREE .mac accounts have no email either.
    What you see in the screenshots is what I'm saying:
    There's been a change in the way iTunes wants you to login. The iTunes reps see at their end what you see at the top of the window, which probably is the "migration" of the new login: Old login system, using ID (in form of email for iTunes)
    BELOW you clearly see where says "ID" and both have the email as login.
    (again, that .mac email doesn't exist and NEVER DID)
    That's the NEW login: your EMAIL.
    I'm sorry I didn't explain it better the first time. I wrote about this so many times to iTunes support reps to prevent them to "read" what their system says that I gave it for settled. (not to mention that my first post was removed because "it lacks of interest for others"
    I own an apple ID, given away with the purchase of a new computer (nothing small by the way) and when that happens (and never subscribe for a paid membership), you use ANOTHER email to be related to your account.
    Now that AGAIN apple asks you for using your EMAIL (non-apple in our case) instead of your ID (which you can't use or you will never get a notification again!) the system believes there are two accounts.
    It's like your credit card bank changing the address for sending the payments. You are STILL paying, but getting a higher rate because their CHANGED the address and the check never arrives.
    In this case, signing in with a different string, makes the system believe there are two accounts. And that probably is under the policy which probably states purchases are not charged twice for SAME ID, and SAME iPhone… and you used a different ID, so it must be fair (sarcasm). Who told you to do so? Bad boy!

  • I am trying to create an itunes account.  There doesn't seem to be a link to click 'I agree' to the terms and conditions on the email sent to me.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    Create a NEW account/ID for her 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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when you created the account ? They worked for me yesterday on my computer's iTunes when I tried them in response to another thread.
    e.g. I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price'
    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    And after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as the payment method.

  • Any way to create an iTunes account without credit card or Paypal account?

    Any way to create an iTunes account without credit card or Paypal account? I've been given a couple of free downloads, but can't seem to redeem them without giving out a credit card number to register. Since I don't have access to a credit card or Paypal account for use online, how can I create an account to use prepaid iTunes cards, etc.? Thanks!

  • Problems creating separate iTunes account from iPhone

    My wife and I have iPhones. I'm a MobileMe account user and my wife's email address is another email address within my MM account (I'm [email protected] and she is [email protected]). If we try to access iTunes with her existing email address it says the ID doesn't exist but when we try to set up a new user account in iTunes through her iPhone we're getting the message that the account is on an existing MobileMe account so won't set up new account.
    How do we set up 2 iPhones to work with these email ID's?

    If your wife's MobileMe address is an alias address under your MobileMe account, this is likely the problem when trying to create a new iTunes account with an alias email address, which is under the primary MobileMe account/address.
    If both iPhones are synced with the same iTunes library at the present time with all 3rd party apps in your iTunes library and on each iPhone purchased/downloaded with your existing iTunes account, why do you want to create another iTunes account? All 3rd party apps and video purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the content.

  • Can I create an iTunes account for someone else?

    I just bought an ipod for my parents, who are not exactly techno-savy. I was wondering if it would be possible to create an iTunes account on my computer, get their music collection started, and then mail the ipod to them with all the account info so they can just log in and go. Is this possible?

    Yes.

    No.
    As long as you computer is authorized for that iTunes account, the songs will work with iTunes Match. The user does not need to be logged in on that computer.

    You will need to sign into your account using the iTunes app on your Mac or PC and change the region/country for your account. If you do not have a bank card for the new country, you should be able to make purchases with iTunes Gift Cards if they are available in the new country.
