iTunes accounts, for everyone
This post was published 2 years 21 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.If like myself you’ve been pretty cheesed off that you can’t get an iTunes account because Apple doesn’t have an iTunes Store in your country yet, here is the solution for you to get one.
1) Go here, enter a (fake) email, agree with the terms, and hit “Generate my code!”. Now copy the generated code to your clipboard.
2) Open iTunes and click on the iTunes Store link.
3) On the right hand side under “Quick links”, click on “Redeem”.
4) Paste the code from the clipboard and hit “Redeem”. It will tell you that the code has expired: no worries!
5) Click on the Home button of the store, and then click on “Login” at the top right. Now Create a New Account.
6) You will realize that in the Credit Card details you can now choose “none” as an option.
Tada! Now you use the “Get Album Artwork” feature in iTunes and get any free songs available.
Note: As an address, I used the Cupertino contact detail that came with Address Book.
Thanks for the tip. Also you can use this account for free content!
Any more info on the eee PC running OSX?
Thanks.
“The offer associated with that song code has expired.”
Someone from Apple must read this blog ;-)
Yea, I didn’t’ think thats would last long. Damn you Apple!
Still works for me!
Make sure to follow the directions!
The code is no longer good but you can still make an account w/o a credit card!
Try it, it works.
I’m guessing you can attach a credit card to it later if necessary?
I only ask because I just got an iTunes gift card from a friend yet I don’t actually have an iTunes account.
It’s an old code, but the instructions say that. All it does is grant you the ability to select none for CC.
@ Alex,
Yes, of course, if you have a credit card from one of the countries that has an iTunes store.
@ Tom and Eric
Yes the offer has expired, but the effects remain the same. Check out step 4.
Excellent, works perfectly, from UK.
Many thanks for another great post.
Works here. ( Israel )
I wonder how long this is going to work.
i followed the steps but i dont have an option to select “none” as credit card..:(

i cant download the macworld podcast, but it works, THX
Thank you very much, works perfectly in Denmark ;)
Great! Works perfectly here in UK.
Note you have to follow the instructions precisely, the first time I did it, it didn’t work, but I think I did something different on step five.

It doesn’t work for me anymore.. :( I live in Singapore.
An alternative way of setting up an iTunes Store account without a credit card, as recommended by an Apple Store employee, is to enter your credit card details and then delete them. I have just done this and can confirm that it is possible to delete one’s credit card details after they have been entered.
