iTunes software connecting iPhone

Apple iPhone - Difficulty with iTunes software when connecting iPhone

I have an iPhone 3g and have been using it successfully for almost 2 years with iTunes on my Dell/Windows computer. Recently I upgraded to iTunes 10.1.2.17 and now I'm having problems when I connect the phone to the computer. The software runs fine on the computer but when I plug the phone in, it freezes or stops running altogether. Everything is disabled until I go into task manager and end iTunes.

AT&T has been no help whatsoever...although they did offer to sell me a newphone. The Apple store, so far is no help either, saying they don't support Windows software. Apple support has indicated that there will be a charge (and they don't say how much) for any help received online or by phone.

Anyone have any ideas on what's happening? Have you experienced similar problems and how did you solve them?

Interestingly enough, I also have an iPod Touch and syncing it to iTunes is no problem at all. Everything with it works fine.

iPhone iTunes
I am a Mac user, so I can't help you, but so the Windows users can help you, you're going to have to give them a little more information.

What iOS are you running on the iPhone 3G and on the iPod Touch? What version of Windows of are your running on the Dell and does it have all the current updates?

Since the cable seems to be ok, have you looked to see if there is anything in the 30-pin connector on the iPhone?

Have you tried re- downloading directly from Apple to the Dell and re-installing iTunes 10.1.2 for Windows? Where did you get the original download from and to what computer?

I have not clue if v 10.1.2.17 is the correct version for your Dell & OS version, since the ".17" is probably what says it is for 32 or 64-bit, XP SP2, Vista or 7. If you downloaded it to another Window machine and moved it to the Dell, it may be wrong. And since you have not given us the version you are running, I couldn't check it if I knew what that iTunes version was for.

iTunes and sort of off topic

Apple iPhone - iTunes and sort of off topic

I am trying to change my iTunes email address. Currently my iTunes id is my Gmail address and I'm trying to change it to my mobileme email address but when I try and change it the error says that I can not change to an existing mobileme address. Any idea what I need to do?

iPhone iTunes
I tried to do that once. You cannot use me.com apparently as strange as that seems. I had a heck of a time getting them to fix it.

iTunes music to CD to iPhone?

Apple iPhone - iTunes music to CD to iPhone?

How do I burn iTunes music to a CD so I can get it on my iPhone some way.

iPhone iTunes
You put music on the iPhone (& iPod) by using iTunes. There is no reason to put in on CD first.

Just create a playlist, then "drag" that playlist to you iPhone.

-----
No need to burn a CD to get your music from iTunes to the iPhone. When you connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes running, either set the settings to sync all your music to the iPhone, or make a new playlist, and set that to sync to your iPhone.

If you make a playlist, then just drag the music you want to the playlist.

No CD involved.

-----
Sorry, my wife did nit make her Question clear. what she wants to know is how to burn itunes to a CD.

-----
So no need to mention iPhone in the subject line?

You burn playlists. Create a playlist and then use File > Burn Playlist to Disc. Playlists can be manual or "smart". You can burn the CD as CD format, MP3, or data. Make sure you use the format you want.

Or is the question: how do I burn all my iTunes to CD as a backup?

-----
Create playlist then click file > burn playlist to disk

iTunes "payment information"

Apple iPhone - iTunes "payment information"

For Xmas I bought my wife a new iPod Touch, and yesterday I tryed to use the app store app to update her apps. I got a message tha said I was trying to access iTune with a new compute and that I needed to update/verify my payment information. The only "missing" information was the 3 didget security code from the back of Credit card. When I entered the number from the back of the card iTunes tells me it is the wrong number. Not possable since I'm looking at the back of the card. Im just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

iPhone iTunes
I did also. I recall having to do something from the computer at apple.com in my account settings.

Go to your account from your computer and see what it says.

-----
My card is a Visa and once I had to enter the all 6 digits? and other times I had to enter just the last 3....

-----
I had this situation in here Germany and I was worried that it had to do with being in different country with a U.S. iTunes account and credit card. Ultimately, I just re-entered all the numbers for the credit card, and the 3 digit code, and everything worked just fine. did that from the iphone itself not on the computer.

Finding FREE Audiobooks

Apple iPhone iTunes - Finding FREE Audiobooks

I tried a few apps that were supposedly about free audiobooks. One had some good titles, but only a handful available every month (or week), no catalog. Another couple were filled with advertisements, and nothing for free.

I've thought that there's a ton of classic, public domain, and other books out there. Am I wrong? Are there apps or websites for this? (I don't need to organize or modify or even get book cover images.)

iPhone iTunes
I use Stanza which has a ton of free books and uses Project Gutenberg which digitizes copyright expired books by volunteers. Nook also offers some free books and some low priced books.

I believe both ereaders are free from iTunes.

-----

http://librivox.org/

-----
Another application that you could try is the free OverDrive Media Console. You can download library books (audio & ebooks) directly to your iOS device. I've used it for a couple of weeks now and for the most part it works well. The cons are that the selection of books are currently very limited (in my area), availability (you have to go into a queue), and the process of getting a book can be a bit cumbersome. Other than that the app works fine. :) Oh yeah, except for the part where the audio book portion frequently jumps back a bit when relaunching the app. A work around is to book mark your location.

Reading back through this paragraph it doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement for the application but I find it's definitely worth trying out because it works as a nice supplement to my other ereaders.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overdrive-media-console/id366869252?mt=8

-----
To say that "the process of getting a book can be a bit cumbersome" is an understatement.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad my local county library subscribes to Overdrive, but it tends to have mostly WVMs, instead of MP3s. So either I have to keep one iPod formated for Windows, or go through extra steps to get it into iTunes and to into my iPhone. I prefer to have them on my iPhone.

Also some authors and/ or publisher even go so far as to restrict whether or not you can move the book to a portable device, and /or Apple iDevice.

-----
I use the free download service of all the latest greatest and classic audiobooks of my local library. I don't know where you live but if it is in the USA this service is free and wonderful.

I've just spent 2 days filling my new shiny red iPod nano with loads of audiobooks, everything from Patricia Cornwell to Terry Hatchett!!

-----
I belong to our state library. They have an agreement with netlibrary.com. I can download out of their "collection" free audio books and eBooks. Some good, some not so good. I am sure some bigger city libraries must have agreements and even bigger "free" netlibrary collections. I believe ours is heavier on the eBooks than the audio books.

Two iPhones with one iTunes

Apple iPhone - Two iPhones with one iTunes

I have 2 iPhones, mine and my GF's. I would like to sync music etc on hers and contacts, apps on mine. Is it possible to set what syncs for each iPhone depending on which one is plugged in. Another words would iTunes know that I am plugging mine, therefore, sync: contacts, pictures, music, apps, books. If hers plugged in; sync: apps, music, photos. Is this possible.

iPhone iTunes
Yup, each device uses the 40 character UDID to identify it - you can plug as many iPhones, iPods, or iPads you want and iTunes reads from the device what to sync - backups will be stored in the computer (location depends on OS) in /User/Library/MobileSync/iTunes/40charactername/ or \Users\User\AppData\iTunes\MobileSync\40charactername\

-----
I'm up to six devices of various types & vintages with no problems.

-----
Same. No problem here with 2 iPads, 2 iPhone, 4 iPod Touch. From old to new.

-----
Of course. Each iPhone (or iPod, or iPad) is recognised as a different device by iTunes. Each one has its own preferences and settings.

If you had your own users on the computer, you would each have your own iTunes. I assume you share a user?

Splitting tracks

Apple iPhone iTunes - Splitting tracks

I have an audiobook that is 1-long-track (it was ripped to mp3 from cassette by a relative -- it's not available as an audible d/l & even the cd is...hard or impossible to find, so I take what I can get!).

What would y'all suggest I use to split it up into smaller chunks?

iPhone
I prefer using iTunes by creating AAC versions of each segment you want it split.

Get Info > Options > set the Start Time and Stop Time > OK
Then Create AAC Version.
Then do it again with another segment.

This would be hard work since it's all manual. But this is the only way you can be sure the audiobook is not cut in the middle of a chapter.

-----
Having been clued in to the "options box" menu to change the type from "music" to "audiobook" at least the file now has the 30-sec-backup button on screen, which helps a lot.

I tried the iTunes split method -- easy & works. I don't see any need to try other s/w at this time.

I don't know what Archie means by not being cut in mid-chapter. The whole book is one-long-file. If I try to AAC it by time, I'd have no way of knowing it's not splitting in mid*sentence*.

It's only a couple of hours long, so wouldn't be that much work to convert in, say, 30-minute chunks (with some overlap, perhaps). I may or may not get around to doing it, depending on when I want to listen to it. :-)

-----
What I meant was, for your case, I would look for the end of a chapter and take not of the time. And then I'd cut it right there so I'll have the audiobook cut by chapter. One chapter, one file.

-----
There's an app called Audiobook Builder. However, it isn't free...about $10. If you're using a Mac, you could check it out here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23162/audiobook-builder

I used it and to split a long audiobook track. Worked for me.

-----
I second audiobookbuilder. I listen to lots of audiobooks and this app is $10.00 well spent!

If you're on a Windows machine, Google free audio file splitters. I believe there's quite a few of them.

mp3bookhelper should do it for ya.

Radio in ITunes

Apple iPhone - Radio in ITunes

I occasionally use "Radio" in ITunes to listen to music/etc. on my MAC. I would also like to listen to various "Radio stations" on my IPhone and IPad (using WiFi).

How can I do this? I tried dragging a radio station on to my Playlist but this did not work.

iPhone iTunes
There are several apps for that. Do a search of the app store. I use iHeart radio.

-----
Try using the app called tunein radio. It will find radio stations and you can listen to them over wifi and 3G.

Create another account for Itunes

Apple iPhone - Create another account for Itunes

I'm getting ready to purchase the iPhone when it comes to Verizon.

My daughter has used my mac for her iTune account for her iPod and then her iPod touch. So Does anyone know how I can create an account for my self separate from hers using iTunes? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

iPhone iTunes
Store - sign out then store log in and should be a button to create new account.

-----
Depending on how you two interact, Bonnie, you might want to set up a second User to protect & separate your data and her data. That way you don't need to log out of iTunes and re-enter each time. Just switch Users.

-----
OK, now I have another issue. I tried setting up a new account only to find out the email I tried using was already there. A long with the one my daughter is using. So I couldn't remember the password, so I changed it, only to find out these two account are both contacted to her account. I can't find where I can delete it, and she's afraid if I do it will delete her songs and money she has on the account. I'm a bit lost now. Any suggestions?

-----
there are several ways to do this, some of which depending on the OS / computers you use.

Do you use a Mac/OS X or Windows? Do you have separate computers or share the same computer?

First, she isn't going to lose anything - everything that has been purchased is stored on the computer, apps can be redownloaded at any time at no charge, music/movies/tv (due to the industries) can only be downloaded once but you can authorize, copy and play on up to 5 machines at any time (IE if you authorize 5 machines then get a new computer, you have to de-authorize one before authorizing the new one).

It sounds like you are sharing the same computer - If that is the case and want to keep libraries separate, ≈ - I would use David's suggestion and create a separate user account at the system level so when you log in, you only see your library and when she logs in she only sees her library.

If you don't want to use different system account and/or have separate computers, you can use the various features to recover your password on your e-mail address (aka iTunes ID aka Apple ID). Then log in to that account (Store Log in) then authorize the computer (Store > Authorize This Computer) and you can log in and out to make changes and maintain as necessary. This will also allow you to 'share' content on devices, meaning you can sync her music/apps/etc and she can sync yours.

If you have more than one computer, you definitely want to enable Home Sharing (Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing) - this will allow every computer to access every other computer's library on the network regardless of Apple ID as long as the computers are authorized and turned on.

-----
I have a mac/os I think the problem is I had another account that was connected w/hers and couldn't remember the password so I had them reset it. And that's where the problem lays. We use the same computer, but I don't want the account to be shared, I'd like them to be separate, and at this point I can't seem to do that?

-----
Sure you can - just create a new user account on the Mac > System Preferences > Accounts > + > Administrator - set this one up for you and once you get everything you want it in your 'new' account then you can go back and change hers to managed/parental controls, if you like (you never mentioned age, etc so if you want to manage her control of the machine, you can set it there).

When you turn on the computer from then each of you click on the corresponding account and if you have it set, enter the password. Each of you will have a folder in /Users/ for iTunes library as well as documents, etc and as setting the new account as administrator, you can still access the data that was under her (the current main) account if you want/need to.

-----
I'm sorry to sound so confused, but are you talking the mac's system preferences or iTunes? I'm still unclear how do do this. I have two users id's, mine and hers that are attached to the same library, which has all her stuff. Can I break the two accounts up, or do I have to create a new account w/a new email address? This is my first time w/iTunes.

-----
we are suggesting you create two Mac User accounts. If you follow above suggestion, go to

System Prefs (under the Apple menu) > Accounts

You can create a second User of your Mac. Both Users can be 'open' and once but only one is active (on your screen) at a time. You can easily switch between them using the drop down menu of Users at the top right of the screen in the menu bar.

When you switch to her account, the Mac accesses her files, her documents directory, iPhotos, iPunes items, etc. She can't see your directories or change them.

Similarly when you are in your account.

It's simply a way to create separate protected directories of ALL your items, including iTunes files.

Audiobooks? I am missing something

Apple iPhone - Audiobooks? I am missing something

Could someone please list step by step how to manage audiobooks in iTunes for a 3gs.

iPhone iTunes
If an audio file in iTunes is not behaving as a proper audiobook it might be possible to change it's type within iTunes.

Click once on the file. Go to File > Get Info, click on the Options tab in the info window and change the "Media Kind" to what you want it to be. It will then show up in the appropriate Library in the left-hand pane.

-----
I have done that. It does behave as a book, but it is listed in the music section not the audiobook section. Drives my computer OCD nuts. I call it there, because it doesn't exist in my daily life otherwise. :)

-----
I have a lot of audiobooks. Normally mp3 is seen as audio-file. The file must be m4b to be an audiobook shown in Books. When it is mp3 you see it in Music.

I have 3 audioboks-makers: the best is Audiobookbuilder. This one you must buy. It can combine more files to one single audiobook and you can add a picture to the file. Then you know what audiobook it is. The software convert the file mp3 to m4b. The send is Audiobook Wizard. This is free. The third is Audiobookbinder. This is also free. They do all the same things.

-----
Somebody may have mentioned this already -- but you do not have to convert to m4b. Hmmm.....well, let me say that with iPod you don't. For all I know, iPhones may act differently.

For iPods, just import the mp3 files into your iTunes library. Then select all of the files, and hit "get info". Then you can go to "options", and set "media kind" to "audiobook". This sounds a bit complicated, but you can do it to all of the book's files at one time -- and it's a lot simpler than converting to m4b!

-----
Oh Man this is one great hint I wish I'd known about sooner!

I've imported several ripped-from-CD audiobooks (plus the ripped-from-tape file I got as a gift, along with the tape :-)) & of course they all end up in "music". I never knew I could change that. Now I have & not only do they now appear in my library in the 'books' section, they've got that 30-second-rewind button that I'm so fond of using!

I did have to put the book-name in front of all the track numbers (no matter where the files were) just to keep things easy, but that was just part of the chore of the import. (copy/click-click-paste, click-click-paste, click-click-paste.....)

I've also "relocated" a number of podcasts that for some reason I had to d/l directly as mp3 from their sites.

-----
This works fine on the iPhone also. In older versions of iTunes these options were not available and you had to convert to m4b so that the device software remembered where you were in the book.

-----
I have set the media kind to audiobook in iTunes with my ripped audiobooks. It is still seen as music. I have made each book it's own playlist. I have even added the book cover.

Seems I saw once how to make a bookmark in the iPod portion of the iPhone. Can someone refresh my memory?

-----
Be sure you're not just setting the GENRE to "audiobook". That is an entirely different setting, and it won't get your audio files moved over to the book area. You have to set the MEDIA KIND to "audiobook".

iPhone Apps
Is this a pretty good running app? I have 1 question. How does it work if you have multiple devices. Meaning I have a iPhone 3gs, new touch, and an ipad. If I download this app for my phone. How would it work putting it on my touch? I usually just download straight to the phone and not through iTunes. Can I download to multiple devices with the same account. Or should I download through iTunes and then place on the phone and touch?

-----
You can do whichever way you'd like. If you download via the idevice, then when you sync it, iTunes will download the app(s) to iTunes and then sync it appropriately with other devices.

iPhone to iTunes connecting problem

Apple iPhone - Problem connecting iPhone to iTunes

I successfully connected my iPhone 4 to iTunes and synced it on Christmas Eve. Today I tried to sync it again but keep getting a pop-up that says "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".

My husband can usually take care of any problems I have with my phone but he's not here to help today.

iTunes problem - missing files

Apple iPhone - iTunes problem - missing files

I tried to start iTunes tonight; got an exception message that it was missing files & needs to be re-installed.

Do I need to copy my music library & re-name the copied file? I'm concerned the re-install will wipe it out.

**I do not have the latest itunes software installed. Will this cause problems in the first sync? I have both an iPad & iPhone 3GS.

iPhone iTunes
The new iTunes has options to back up and restore to a new iPhone that I just used last night. A lot better than previous versions for sure. Unfortunately, "backup" and "restore" (to a new phone) are NOT what they are cracked up to be. After several hours of dinking around with it and having to re-"purchase" my free apps (I never pay for any of them), I finally had my new phone working.

Restore does NOT restore folders under IOS 4.1, maybe I should have taken 45 minutes per phone - old and new - and upgraded to 4.2. I doubt 4.2 restores folders, either. A lot of my time was re-sorting apps into folders. VERY time consuming.

I really wish I had downloaded that one copy program from a couple of weeks ago - it just goes to show that even if you think you are never going to use a neat utility, it still pays to grab it while you can. Until they give iTunes a true explorer like interface with full drag and drop read and write - I will classify it as "cripple ware".

Copy Itunes Library / Multiple Libraries

Apple iPhone - Copy Itunes Library / Multiple Libraries

I have an issue that I know is not unique and I am sure to which there is a simple answer. My itunes library is over 128GB. Yes, I am a pack-rat. On top of that, I have over 50GB more music to add to it. The problem is that I only have around 60GB left on my MBP. The drive is 500GB and I really do not want to invest any more into this laptop.

What I would like to do is copy and synchronize my current library to a network drive. Then be able to access both libraries from iTunes. Once I know that I have the two libraries established, I can start deleting the semi-duplicates from my local drive along with music that I won't likely sync to my iPhone. I can then start adding music to the network library and from there, copy music to my local drive to sync to the iPhone.

As I stated before, there is most likely a simple solution to my issue.

iPhone iTunes
The easiest would be just to have the network library then the local machine only has the iTunes files (library index, etc) and point to the network library for the actual files.

-----
These should tell you all you need to know.

http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to\

-----
Another suggestion might be to keep your library on a external drive. That is what I do. My iTunes library rests securely on a 1TB drive. I just plug it up when I want to add/delete/or change my selection of music on my older iPod and iPhone.

Now in all fairness I should say I have very little purchased music from iTunes. My music all 500G is from other sources.

Open iTunes on connecting iPhone

Hey, folks. I used to have iTunes open automatically when I connected my phone. When I go to the options on iTunes, this choice is still there, but it's grayed out and can't be checked. What's up with this? Does the latest update just flat-out forbid this, or is there something I have to change on my phone to make this work?

I've just plugged in my iPhone to check this out for you, but the option is still there and mine isn't greyed out, even though I have it set to manually sync. Hopefully someone else can help you.

ITunes Bug?

Apple iPhone - ITunes Bug?

Has anyone else had this happen?

I double clicked on iTunes on my PC (all software was already up to date) and had not even connected my iPhone 4 to synch, when a box popped up saying "please answer a few questions to improve operation of iTunes" or something to that effect.

Then it asked 2 or 3 questions like "Do you want to manage your files or have iTunes do it for you?". I said I wanted to manage them myself. Then it started copying files beginning with apps and for each of my 200 apps it said "there is already a newer version of this app installed; do you want to replace it anyway? I said no 200 times.

It then proceeded to copy all the old versions of the apps and also duplicated all my books, videos, some playlists etc. What the heck happened? I am now afraid to synch which I need to do daily for my calendar and work.

All I did was start iTunes as I always have. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone iTunes
I had that very same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. I have no
idea why and didn't appreciate all the cleanup I had to do afterwards.

-----
Advice: If you have anti-virus software, run it.

This does not sound like Apple, they do not ask how to improve their software. (You can send them feedback, but they never ask, and very seldom survey.) If there was no iPhone, iPod or iPad attached, it should not back up or copy anything.

I'm a Mac user, so I can not give you specific advice other than to run your AV software.

-----
What mess afterwards?

-----
Duplication of many songs, random changing of song titles, random changing of genres, apps conflicts, itunes settings changed.

3G Bricked?

Apple iPhone iTunes - 3G Bricked?

I started an update to 4.2 and came back to a white Apple with a solid white bar below.

Only way to shut it off is power and menu buttons together. Powering back on takes it to an Apple and a hollow white bar that slowly fills up again in a vicious circle.

iPhone iTunes
Update iTunes and try again. I think it's steves way of making us update iTunes

-----
Presuming you already have the correct (latest) version of iTunes, my advice would be - once you have started upgrading the iOS - don't interrupt the process by shutting down or rebooting until the process finishes.

On my iPhone 4, once the iOS download finished, the upgrade process took around 15 minutes.

If you almost never connect to iTunes and backup, your process is likely to take longer - possibly a LOT longer.

-----
It sounds like you never completed the upgrade. You have to let the firmware install and then you should see the home screen. It took me about 10 minutes. It will depend on how fast a connection you have when downloading.

4.2: 17 new text tone messages? Where are they?

Apple iPhone - 4.2: 17 new text tone messages? Where are they?

Dumb question probably, but where are the 17 new alerts as described from the Apple website as pasted below... I can't find anywhere where the new "17" are located... Any help from the gallery, please?

Messaging with text tones Know who's texting without looking at your screen. Choose from 17 new alerts and assign custom tones for people in your contact list.

iPhone iTunes Look under Settings / General / Sounds. In the third section, tap "Text Tone" and you'll see a set of "Original" tones and above it a set of "New" ones.

-----
I see the 17 new text tones, but how do you apply one of them to a contact so you know who just texted you?

-----
Go into contacts, select a contact, edit contact, it's right below ringtone.

The new textones almost sound like they got them from Warner Bros cartoons.

-----
It would have helped if I scrolled down to that!

-----
I have a 3GS and after the upgrade the new text tones do not appear either. My tones are after going to settings/sounds and the same old ones are there

-----
I thought I was the only one. I have a 3GS also. I'm going to try to backup and restore to 4.2 unless someone else gives me a red flag not to.

This is actually the first time I've ever had a prob with an iPhone upgrade.

-----
I've read in a couple places online that they're apparently available on the iPhone 4 only.

Apparently Apple must believe 3G and 3GS hardware platforms are just too old and rickety to support additional text tones.

-----
So after doing the upgrades. What is everyone's opinion. Compared to the chernoybl fallout of 4.0 What is the overall consensus of upgrading to 4.2?

-----
I'm not seeing any difference on my 3rd gen iPod Touch. I think the only new feature that would effect me in any way is the Airprint, which does not work with a Windows desktop.

-----
My 3GS seems marginally more more responsive. But that's it. No new features on the 3 GS

-----
Oh, there is a difference after all... the iPod app now sometimes brightens the display when changing songs while plugged into the charge&play car adapter. This is highly distracting at night, and 4.1 and older did not do that.

-----
While 3Gs users might not have received 17 new text tones, we now have the ability to choose a tone per contact from one of the original tones. This is at least a step in the right direction...

iTunes account id

Apple iPhone - iTunes account id

Any one help me, how to get iTunes id

iPhone iTunes
You create an iTunes account when you make a purchase from the iTunes or App Stores.

You can purchase a free item or use a credit card or gift card to pay for it. If you do not use a credit card, then enter none when you are asked.

-----
When you go to AppStore from your iPhone for the first time, it will ask you to make registration

-----
You create one when you go to the iTunes store.

-----
On the iPhone, open iTunes app, tap on music bottom left, scroll all the way to the bottom and it'll tell you which account it's using.

-----
I already try that but can't show " none " select. Can u please make me iTunes id,,

-----
No one can make an iTunes id for you. We don't have your financial information.

-----
Ditto

Besides it needs to be made from your iPhone or computer, from your country. You should be able to purchase a free app without a credit card.

So what you are asking us to do looks suspiciously illegal. The fact, that you have never posted to this before, does not help your case.

The "none" option if you do not wish to purchase paid apps will only be available if you try to purchase a free app first. Then you will be prompted to either enter your username and password or create a new account. Choose the latter. The option you're looking for should be there.

I don't know why Apple only made that option available through the above process and not when you directly create an account (without trying to purchase first).

One does not need credit card to have an account since one always "buy" free apps
