Re: [QUAR] iTunes/App Store Account

(Attached image)

 

I just started through the process on a machine with iTunes and no account.  I went to the iTunes Store, then the App Store, and then selected a free app to download.  It gave me the option of signing in or creating an account.  I chose to create an account.  When I got to the screen about payment information, None was an option that I could select. So Apple does still appear to support that method for creating accounts without a credit card.

It looks like a credit card is required to create an iTunes store account. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731

 

Creating an Apple ID on a computer

1.    Open iTunes. If you do not have iTunes, you can download iTunes here.

2.    From the Store menu, choose Create Account. Click Continue on the resulting screen.

3.    To proceed, you'll need to agree to the Terms and Conditions. Once you've read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions, click the checkbox next to "I have read and agree to these terms and conditions."

4.    Click Continue. 

5.    Complete the form to create your free Apple ID (which is what you will use to log in to the iTunes Store).

6.    Provide a valid payment method and billing address. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.

7.    Once you've provided all the required billing information, click Continue.

I think you need to try it the opposite way.  Without being logged in, go to the App Store and try to download a free app.  It should then ask you to log in or create an account.  When you create the account at this moment, None is available as a payment option.

I can't even log in. It just keeps saying "The Apple ID has not been used with iTunes store. Please review account information" then I have a cancle or review button. If I hit review I get into the credit card part

This may seem a little peculiar, but it has worked for me. Once you have logged in with your ID, set up to download a free app. A dialog will come up asking what credit card you want to use. At that point, None will be an option.

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?
