Re: itunes account without cc details ???

Unless they've changed it you have to enter a method of payment before you can complete the account creation.

Once you have created the account you can remove it.

This is what I did for my son and daughter's iTunes.

If you really don't want to enter CC then you maybe able to open the account with an iTunes voucher.

I don't beleive the account needs to be in a name related to the user. As long as the user has the username and password entered then they will be able to use it with any iPod you connect to that iTunes.

It's been a year since I set up my daughter's account so things may have changed since then.

Cheers,

Nigel

Re: itunes account without cc details ???

Why don't you go through the process of creating an iTunes account and see what it will let you use.

Doing a quick google it does look like you can use a gift voucher - you may even be able to do it with an expired code. Here are a couple of links to read through

http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/25/cre...tunes-account/

http://afterlogs.co.cc/2008/06/free-itunes-account/

If the hacks don't work then it certainly appears that using a real unused voucher will work fine.

Cheers,

Nigel
