Hi Guys,
I finally managed to solve the problem of having to add credit card details
before Apple would allow you to register.
If you register online at the Apple Store, you have to enter credit card
details before you can
complete the registration, failing to do so means you aren't able to download
anything, not even the freebies from the App Store.
People who have already registered with a credit card can easily remove their
card details from within their Apple Account area.
This is how to set up a new account with Apple without having to register a
credit card.
Open iTunes on your home computer and select the App Store.
Select a Free App and hit the Buy button.
You will now be asked to go through the registration process.
After hitting the Continue button a few times, you'll come to your credit card
details.
At the bottom of the list of credit cards you'll find an option for None, so
this is the one you select.
You should now be able to complete the registration.
Tom.

You have to have a card on file to download the free ones.
You would need an adult to set up an account and then decide if they should
give her the password or have her come to them every time she want to install
an app.

Hi Guys,
My grandaughter received an iPod Touch from Santa but she can't download
anything from the Apple store as she is too young to own a credit card.
She wanted to download some free Apps but it kept asking for credit card
details
which she didn't have.
Surely there's a way to download freebies as there's bound to be millions
of kids who own iPods.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how it's done?
Tom.
