Many people who have the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad/iMac/Macbook are still not able to install the FREE applications from US itunes store because they don't have an US iTunes account as iTunes compulsorily needs a credit card to create one!
If you use a US iTunes gift certificate at the time of registering your account, then you dont need US credit card. There is nothing complicated about it, but just in case you are unsure, we have provided a simple set up guide for you below. If you already have a US iTunes account you may simply log in and click 'redeem' to use your gift certificate. I'll explain in short how to get yourself a FREE US iTunes Store Account without US credit card !
How to Create a US iTunes Store Account without Credit Card
1. Start Apple iTunes on your Mac
or Windows PC.
2. Click on the
iTunes store button from the top right of the Apple
iTunes menu bar.
3. If you are already logged in your current
country / region iTunes Store, Sign out from it using the sign out
link on the top left of the Apple iTunes menu bar.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select
Change Country from Manage OR There will be a
little round country flag that you click on and
change to United States.
5. Find the Quick Links box, on
the upper right side in main iTunes window.
6. Select the
Redeem link.
7. In a popup window, it will ask you to Sign in
with your Apple ID to redeem the code or to Create Apple ID. Select
Create Apple ID.
8. Create the account with an email address that
has NOT been registered with any other iTunes
store.
9. You will now be asked to fill out a form with
your name, U.S. postal address, and U.S. phone number. Use an
existing US address including corresponding zip
code. Just use any hotel or business address. Example: PizzaHut New
York, USA. Just google it. If you still can't find any US address,
visit: http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ and
generate a random US address.
Note: Different U.S states levy different taxes on digital
downloads. However, the state of California, New York does not
impose such a tax. So its better to get an address from these
states.
Choose a state with no sales tax (e.g New York,
California). In either case, the city and zip you provide must
match. For example, City: New York, State: NY, Zip: 10012, Phone:
212 226-3127).
10. If asked for payment method select
none (the option on the right hand side of the
credit card logos). If you purchased a US iTunes Gift Card Code from
iTunes GC and want to redeem it, there is an option for that as
well. Do NOT enter your Credit Card details.
11. Now your done and ready to start using the US
Apple iTunes Store with your new US iTunes account. Enjoy!
