Using overseas a/c without inputting credit card information

I use to live in Japan and have a Japanese a/c, but now I have returned home and as I no longer hold a Japan credit card, Apple store is rejecting my access to the Japan stores.
I still have quite a lot of apps I want to use from that previous account.
Wonder if anyone can help out on this pls?

Not 100% correct, as if you are in a different country (travelling,etc) from your "home" you can purchase and download, and update apps and iTunes content from your "home" itunes/app store. As long as your APple ID is tied to that store. The only requirement to use a particular store is that, as you have stated, you must have a verifiable mailing/billing address and a CC in the country whose store you intend to use.

How can i review the id without credit card information which i have created?

Create a NEW account 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.

HT1918 Apple ID for kids without providing credit card information

I want to create an Apple ID for my 10 year old son, without providing credit card information. on the web I found a video telling that it is possible to set the payment information to "none" - but this choice does not show up in my settings

I'm not sure how this "none" option works in other countries, but it is accessible in the U.S. So I assume that you are not in the U.S. You can create another Apple ID for the child to use
The minimum age for an Apple ID needed to create an iTunes account is 13. You will have to set this up using your information (your birthday, address, etc.) and you will need another email address. You can create a free email account using AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, or Gmail as well.

How to use an apple id without a credit card?

I created an apple id from the game center on my ipod touch 5th gen and it didn't ask me for any credit card information. When I tried to download a free game, it said my account hadn't been used in the itunes store yet and took me to a place where it asked for credit card information. I read up on how to create an account without a credit card, but it seemed the only way to access this was to create a new apple id. When I tried, it wouldn't work because I had to use the same e-mail address and it said it the e-mail was already in use. I only have one e-mail, so I tried deleting my old account but I can't find out how.
Is there a way to keep using my current account and download apps without a credit card?

Not that I know of. The

Can I download free apps without a credit card information?

Hi! I have recently created an Apple ID. I want to download a free app in the iTunes Store, but it forces me to enter a credit card information, and I don't have a credit card right now. I've seen iPhones were there's an option were it says "none" instead of giving a credit card information, but I can't see that option on my computer. Is that option available from a computer? Or am I obliged to have 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.

HT201303 Can't update free app without putting credit card information? Why?

Cannot update free app without updating my credit card information! Says I am using new device to connect with app store ? This is not true as I'm using and have always been using my I phone. And why do I need to provide credit card info for free app?

Change your payment information to none on your iphone, goto settings > store , tap on your apple ID , tap view account , tap payment type , change to none.
This is all provided that you don't owe itunes any monies, if so then attach a credit card or itunes gift card and pay your arrears.
Free app or paid app, you will not be able to use your apple id until you settle one of the above.

How do I create and use an Apple ID without a credit card or gift card?

My brother just bought a Ipod touch 2nd generation, ios 4.2.1, but I was trying all day yesterday trying to setup his Apple ID, but it keeps asking for his credit card. I read through some other posts that said to download a free app and it'll give you the coice to create a new account. So I did that. I filled out all of the information and it let me select "None" as the billing information, so I thought it was all set. He verified the account through his e-mail, it said "Your email has been verified", so he tried to sighn into the app store using his e-mail he verified, but it said something like "This ID hasn't been used on this device". The only options were Cancel or Review, so I clicked review and it took me to the registration thing again, all of the info was already filled out, except the billing info which wouldn't let me select "None".
I tried sighning his account on to my ipod touch, it did the same thing as his, He's sighned in with mine right now, but whenever he downloads something, it downloads for me too.
So if you can help, I'd really appriciate it, because it pretty annoying.

You have to follow the instructions here and use an email address that you have not yet used with Apple before.

How to make an iTunes store account for my child to use in the UK without a credit card

I want to give my child an iTunes store/Mac App Store account here in the United Kingdom but cannot proceed without entering a credit card section that asks for details. There was not an option for "NONE" in that screen. My child has a gift card, and she wants to use it, of course, and I will allow purchases to be made in this way.
I was following the instructions in a web browser screen (create an account on a computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534) and I could not find that free app that I had to download from the iTunes App section. When following these instructions, they stated to "To find a free application, navigate to the Top Charts column on the right side of the App Store window. Scroll down until you see the list of Free Apps. Select any application by clicking on it. Then, click Free App underneath the application icon. " (Step3).
The app is like a blue play button with a black triangle in it. I could not find this app. The instuction in Step 3 did state it was important, but I just could not find the app. The reason that I could not find it was there was no "Top Charts" column to be found. So I was unable to complete Step 3.
Being unable to complete Step 3 properly, I had to try another plan. So I tried to create an Apple ID on my own steam, by signing out of my own Apple ID and to create another one.
I continued to follow the instructions without problems, until I reached Step 11. Then, there was no option for "NONE" as in payment type. I could not think of an alternative, but to abort that screen and click CANCEL.
Can anybody help me in this ? Either how to get hold of that app from the iTunes Store App section. Or an alternative way to create a new Apple ID with an option to make purchases with just the redeeming of gift cards for the iTunes Store, so that my child can sign in by herself without me having to be there.
I have iTunes 10, and Mountain Lion on the Mac.

Cocerning the free app (blue play button with (black) triangle): Did you mean 'remote'?

But since i'm in Germany, I'm not sure what to do in the country you are in.
