Apple ID without a card. Signing up for iTunes without a credit card

Upd: Article updated October 28, 2016. Actual screenshots, actual tips! :)

I have long wanted to describe this process, of course, it is described in many places, but I want to describe the process of registering an Apple ID and one very big “pitfall” that you may encounter. The thing is that Russian people are big lovers of freebies, and in Apple stores many paid programs and games. But there are also many free apps out there.

But Apple forces you to register and indicate your bank card number at the same time, so that if necessary, money will be debited from you. Yes, it’s convenient, but what if you don’t have a bank card in principle, or simply for some of your own (quite justified) reasons, you don’t want to indicate it? There is a way out - instructions below.

Registering an Apple ID without a credit card

1. We go to iTunes. We click on the button in the upper left corner (by default, there is Music, but there may be something else).

In the drop-down menu, select Programs.

Thus, you will be transferred to App Store(Apple app store).

2. Attention! the most important and responsible step. If we want to register without a card in the future, then we do this. We find any free app . That is, where there is no price under the icon and poke on it.

3. Now click on Free App and you will get a login/registration window.

Click on "Create new Apple ID".

4. The process has begun! :) click “Continue”.

Explanation:

e-mail - your email inbox(this will be your Apple ID in the future),
password (not to your e-mail, but come up with a new and complex one for the account)

security - you need to choose 3 bundles of questions and answers. Answers need to come up with yourself and remember. It may be needed sometime when recovering a password.

When everything is filled in, click the “Continue” button.

6. In a new window, in the payment methods, you should see the No button. If it is not there, then go back to point 1 and do everything again carefully.

You can also choose VISA or MasterCard. Then iTunes will prompt you to enter the card number, expiration date and CVC code to pay for purchases. Pay with mobile phone available exclusively to Beeline subscribers.

Further below, carefully fill in the information about the address. Theoretically, you can come up with information - no one forbids you, but in the future, when recovering a password or some controversial issues, you may need it. If you're thinking about it, write it down somewhere.

If you are registering a German, American or some Japanese account in iTunes, then it is better to indicate the address here, some left, but real. For example, for an American account, I just found the address of a store on google.

Next, you should receive a confirmation email. By clicking on the link in the email, we will activate our account and we can already easily enter iTunes. You see, it is not necessary to indicate the map at all. With this account, we can download everything for free in the App Store, iTunes Store or iBookStore.

Possible problems during registration:

1. I don't have a No button.

If you did everything right and especially did not miss point 2 from the instructions, and the button did not appear, check the settings of the country under which you make your account. Register either Russian or American accounts - verified. The version of iTunes is also important. Read on the forums which this moment recommended version (not to be confused with the latest and fresh). But I tested for instructions most latest version and everything was OK.

2. I did not receive a registration letter in the mail.

In this case, try to register again on another mail with another mail service. There were cases when letters arrived after a few hours. Also check your spam folder - the email may have been sent there by mistake.

3. The password does not match - I can’t guess the password ...

An example password is Tt123456, which is accepted during registration. Current password requirements:

at least one capital letter
at least one capital
numbers
there should not be more than 3 repetitions of one character
password length is at least 8 characters

4. What card is needed to link to an Apple ID?

If you own an Apple device, then you will definitely need an Apple ID. Creating it with a link to a credit card will probably not be a problem, but creating an Apple ID without a card is already a little more difficult. First of all, Apple wants its customers to be able to pay and be able to purchase paid content, so it requires entering credit card details during registration. As a result, registering an Apple ID without a card is impossible without knowing a hidden loophole. In this article, I will tell you in detail how to register such an Apple ID.

Step 1. The first thing we need to create an Apple ID without a card is iTunes. For example, I will use iTunes 11. We launch the program and go to the App Store section. Next, we need to make sure that we are registering an Apple ID for the Russian store. This is necessary so that in the future, if necessary, you can connect a credit card of a Russian bank. You can change the country at the very bottom of the window.

Step 2 Now we find any free application and click the "Free" button

Attention! This step is mandatory, skipping it you will not be able to create an Apple ID without a card.

Step 3 After that, a window appears asking us to enter the username and password from the Apple ID, we do not pay attention to this and click on the "Create Apple ID" button.

Step 4 Next, a page opens in front of us on which we must confirm our desire to create an Apple ID by clicking on the "Continue" button. In the next window, we need to accept the terms and privacy policy of Apple by ticking the appropriate box, and click the "Accept" button.

Step 5 Having reached the window shown below, fill in the data. Make sure to enter your email address as it will send you your Apple ID registration information. For improved protection, be sure to specify a backup email, in case of an account hacking, a message will be sent to it with instructions on how to restore data.

Step 6 In the next window, you will be prompted to select a payment method, to which we mark "No". You can specify any billing address, it does not affect anything. Click "Create an Apple ID".

At this stage, we are completing the creation of an Apple ID, it remains only to confirm your email specified during registration, and you can start using your account.

Congratulations on your successful registration! Now you are a full-fledged user of Apple products!
