Why do you have to have a credit card to make a new apple account?

I want to make a new account but it says I have to have a credit card to make a new one

Create a NEW account/ID 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

What do i do if i need to make a new apple account but have gift card money on the one im using now?

i have to make a new apple id because i cant remember the security questions to my old one and cant use the money i have on it. but i dont want that money to go to waste. is there any way to transfer that money to the new account i want to create?

You can't transfer a balance from one account to another account, nor use it to gift content to another account. Have you tried getting the questions on your existing account reset ?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

How do i know which credit card is connected to my apple account?

Hi i just wanted to know if i was going to make a payment through apple how do i know which credit card the payment will be on, thanks.

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to view your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link (you can only have one credit card on your account at a time). If you are doing it on your iPhone (or on an iPad or iPod Touch) then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup.

HT1420 Do I have to have a credit card linked to my childs itunes account,and if I do can I restrict its useage to only allow my child to use itunes cards?

Do I have to provide a credit card for my childs itunes account, and if I do, can I restrict my childs use of itunes strictly to prepaid itunes cards?

If you only want the free iPhone apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Alternatively, buy an iTunes card and use that to open your account in the iTunes Store.
Regards.

HT5312 How do I make a new apple account and delete the one I have now? I don't know my password for the id they use and it won't let me use my current email address?

How do I create a new Apple ID and delete my current one?

You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from in and stop using it - but anything that you downloaded from the stores with it will remain tied to that account.
If you don't know the password for it then try this page to get it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you also don't know your security answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

Hello Clancbelle,
It sounds like you have a credit card saved to your Apple ID payment information and you would like it to be removed from the account and set the payment method to None. You should be able to do this with the following article:
iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
Changing your payment information using an iOS device
Tap Settings on the Home screen.
Tap iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID. (If you aren't signed in, enter your Apple ID and password and tap Sign In.)
Tap View Apple ID.
Enter your Apple ID password.
In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
Update the information that you want to change.
Tap the Done button when you're finished.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Is there anyway to not have a credit card on my ipad

If you have a credit card in your account now, go to the payment information and select "none"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you don't yet have an iTunes Store account and 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.)

HT2731 i dont have a credit card

please help me i cannt sign-in at the apps store coz they requires credit card

Unless you follow the instructions on this page when creating a new 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 don't have a credit card then create a new account, and use those instructions - if you want to use the same email account then you will need to replace it on your existing account first e.g. by tappin on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone, the Store > View Account mnu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

I don't have a credit card.

I don't have a credit card but want to register my account so I can download apps. How do I do this without a credit card if I already have an apple account.

Not to be the Grinch (in keeping with the season) ...
Some people (such as I) ONLY have gift cards for store credit due to far too many reports of credit accounts being hijacked through iTunes and then the account needs to be frozen or cancelled and restarted under a new number.

Why do you have to have a credit card to make a new apple account?
