Mac-Appstore Apple-Id – Downloading Free Apps from App Store with Existing Apple ID Without Credit Card

apple-idmac-appstore

I have an Apple ID which I had registered years back (when I had bought my Ipod Shuffle). I wanted to use the same Apple ID to download apps on my newly purchased MBP – but whenever I try to login with that Apple ID, it tells me "This ID hasn't been used with Itunes", and proceeds to let me "Review" it. In the last step, I'm asked to furnish credit card information, which I don't want to, since all I want to do is to be able to download free apps !!

So, do I have to register a second Apple ID just for downloading free apps ??

Best Answer

Yes, you have to create a new account. You can do this from your computer or from your iDevice.

You have to create it from the App Store, not the iTunes store.
