iTunes/App Store Account

Hopefully someone can advise me on this.

I have an apple id already for our school. I used it to order a server and a few ipads. It has never been set up in iTunes or The Mac Appstore. I now have a Lion server and want to use it with iPads. So I am trying to use that ID for that purpose.

When I try and log into iTunes it says that ID has not been set up for itunes and I click continue. I enter all information it asks for and then it gets to the billing section. I don't want to associate a credit card with this account. It will not let me proceed without a credit card ore gift card.

I googled this problem and found that I should create a new account, when I get to the billing section there should be a "none" option in the billing.

Well, I go through the set up again, and I get to the billing section and there is no "none" option.

So how do I set up an account in iTunes (and then in the Mac App Store) without a credit card?
