Aug 04

Many people who have the iPhone/iPod Touch are still not able to install the FREE Applications because they don’t have an iTunes account as iTunes Compulsorily needs a Credit Card to create one !

I’ll explain in short how to get yourself a FREE iTunes Account without Credit Card !

Follow the Steps below :

1. Open iTunes

2. Click on iTunes Store from Left Side Pane.

3. At the very bottom of the page, select My Store as “United States”. (Other Countries are not tested)

Click to Enlarge

4. Click on any FREE Application to Download as Shown in the Pic above :

5. The Page related to that Application will open. Click on Get App and you’ll get a Box as shown below :

6. In the Dialog Box Click on Create New Account.

7. Click on Continue.

8. Accept the License Agreement by Ticking the Check Box and then Click on Continue.

9. Fill in your Email ID, Password, Secret Question and Birth Date and click Continue.

10. Now as you see in the Image Below. You have another Payment Option which says “None“. Check that !

Click to Enlarge

11. Fill in your Details and click Continue. (if you’re wondering what to fill in for Address, you can fill up any valid PIN Code and Fone No. ex. City: New York, State: NY, Zip: 10012, Phone: 212  226-3127)

12. You’ll now be sent an Email. Check your EMail, Verify your Account.

13. Congratulations ! You’ve successfully created a new iTunes Account, totally free and without using or exposing any Credit Card Information !

/\/\/\/\/\/\/OLD METHOD\/\/\/\/\/\/ : (Doesn’t Work now)

1. Open iTunes

2. Click on iTunes Store from the Left Side Pane.

3. At the very bottom of the page, select My Store as “United States”.

4. When the page opens at the Right hand side Under Quick Links, select “Redeem“.

5. Now Go to this site : http://www.tunecore.com/freealbum! You will get a Code from there.

6. Paste that Code in the Redeem Screen of iTunes.

7. You’ll be asked to Enter Your Apple/AOL IDs. Ignore that !

8. Click on Create New Account at the bottom left of that Window.

9. Enter your Details. Now at the Payment Screen you’ll see that Payment is Optional and None option is added.

10. Simply Select that None option and Click Continue !

    hey it worked for me..!! but i can’t buy anything from itunes like i only can get the free stuff..!! plz can anyone reply to my e-mail roll_it_down@yahoo.com thanks XD

  41. 41. Tanmay Says:

    @Pankaj : Bro make sure you’re iTunes Store is set to US. Do that by selecting Country at the very bottom of the iTunes Store Page. Then Sync your iPhone. You should be able to download Free Applications then…..

  42. 42. SomwGuy Says:

    whooOOOOhhh!! this actually works (still). here in the great white Kanada, it works flawlessly. I’ve been searching all over the ‘net for a way of doing this, and I’ve just downloaded my first app. and I +1 Tanmay’s comment above. I did all the stuff above, and then when I tried to download an app on my iphone it was like, “blah blah - only for the US store”. then I synced the iphone, and BOOM - works flawlessly.

    awesome. many thanks.

  43. 43. SomeGuy Says:

    oh… wait up - looks like the programs that I download and install simply crash and the phone returns to the home page… any ideas?

  44. 44. SomeGuy Says:

    alright - Tanmay here helped me get this to work.

    for some reason, when I downloaded an app directly onto my iPhone, from the onboard app store on the iPhone, that app wouldn’t operate. I had previously synced the iPhone and Mac, so this program was also shown on my iTunes. I ended up authorizing my computer (Store>Authorize Computer…) which it said I had already done, synced my iPhone again, and then unplugged and rebooted the phone. while rebooting, I went into the applications folder in iTunes, and clicked and dragged the app I was having trouble with, onto my desktop. then I deleted it from iTunes. and then pulled it back in. when I synced my phone the second time, it re-installed the program (this time, via iTunes, NOT directly from the apps store on my phone), and now it works fine.

    so watch out; programs you get directly off the apps store on your phone, may not operate correctly without some fidgeting.

    but now I have an issue. each time i select a song (which is not free), i click on buy song, then i confirm the payment details (none) and then…nothing. no song is added in my library.

    what should I do? please help!!!

  50. 50. Tanmay Says:

    @andreea : Hehe how can you purchase anything without Paying for it ?

    If you want to Buy Songs you’ll have to Add a Credit Card to your Account.

    With the current account you’ll only be able to Download all the FREE things such as Free Applications, Free Podcasts or Free Music if any.

  51. 51. Simon Says:

    Just to let you know that this also works if you select UK as the country

  52. 52. Josh Says:

    @yam : In your iTunes, set your Store to US. To do that go to the very bottom of the iTunes Store page and select US from there.

    After that just Sync your iPhone, and you’ll be fine !

  65. 65. gwapo Says:

    IT WORKS OK!

    DNT SAY IT DOZNT!

    I’VE BUILT 2 ACCTS ALREADY!!!

    me from THE PHILIPPINES!!!

  66. 66. Liam Says:

    Works perfectly fine in New Zealand dnt no wat u aussies are complaining about

  67. 67. Charles Says:

    Well I have a very important comment about all this, if you still have iTunes 7 may it work, but with iTunes 8 is useless, the tunecore code generator don’t works anymore, and the applications says that the code has been used once, and if you start a new account process the no credit card will not appear, so if you need it, well in a PC maybe it’s easier to get the installer or a computer with this version of the app, than a Mac if you have your computer almost in everything automatic.
    If you had the account by this way before the update, it’ll work fine with iTunes 8, algo for generating Genius Playlists, getting some album arts, not all CD’s can be found, and well the main objective downloading the iTunes store free content, like apps, music and othe stuff. Good Luck!

  68. 68. Dustin Says:

    I have iTunes 8 and iPhone software v. 2.1, and this works perfectly fine for me. Keep in mind this only works on free apps, music, etc.

  69. 69. Truls Drageset Dydland Says:

    Works just fine! Thank you from Norway, it’s GREAT!!

  70. 70. abhishek Says:

  71. 71. lashae Says:

    Thank you SOOOO much!! I was stressing about creating a account because I didn’t want to use my credit card. This was so easy allthough I didn’t get it the first time. Once I read the instructions a second time it was too easy. Once again thanks soooo much!!!!

  72. 72. itune account for iPhone software Says:

    Got code from http://tunecore.com/freealbum

    Does anyone know if this still work for getting an account to download software for iphone?

    even i was trying to make an account today in itunes….after selecting NONE option i filled up everything and pressed continue then it says the creadit card expiration date has already passed and i did not even put any card no.. alsoo so why the hell its asking for creadit card???

  119. 119. Imad Says:

    When I select none, still it saying “You did not complete your form. Please enter your credit card number

  120. 120. tellos Says:

    Same thing here…I think this option is not available anymore… I hate them why do we need an account to download free apps.

    it’s not really nice for us who don’t have a credit card

    looking for a solution… do you guys have any???
