Apple IDs
2012.04.16
Apple offers a way to create iTunes IDs without a credit card. This works IFF* you don’t already have an Apple ID.
There are cases where you have an Apple ID that isn’t associated with iTunes; whether it’s for developer accounts, discussion forums, registering your product, AppleCare, or Store appointments.
However, it doesn’t offer a way to convert/link an existing Apple ID with an iTunes ID without using a credit card.
This needs to change.
