So if i want to purchase any apps from the store, i will need a gift card and use the second method to get myself registered?
Mind filling me in on more details about how the redemption code works and how it is taxed?
For paid apps, you'll need to use store credits, which is attainable through gift cards/certs. Either that, or you'll need a U.S. issued credit card, or PayPal.
At the main U.S. iTune Store page, you'd see a
Redeem link under
Quick Links at the upper-right corner of the page.
Or alternatively, you could just
click here (it opens up the page in iTunes).
You will now have a text box for you to enter the gift card/cert redemption code. Enter as provided by your seller, and click the
Redeem button.
Next, a window will pop up requesting your login information. Click on
New Account at the lower-left and proceed with the procedures.
For the address and phone number column, enter a random U.S. one. For the state selection however, I would recommend you to choose either
Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon as they do not tax digital downloads (I am not 100% sure on this, but it
should be correct). If you choose other states, you'll be charged more than the listed price.
Here is a partial section of my receipt:
QUOTE
Subtotal: $17.94
Tax: $1.66
Order Total: $19.60
$17.94 is the total amount of
listed price for the music/video/apps that I've purchased in iTunes Store. But due to the fact that Louisiana taxes digital downloads, I had incurred a tax of $1.66 as well. This will be deducted from your iTunes Store credit (assuming you're using gift cards/certs) automatically; you do not have to do anything to be charged
Btw, if you can't understand my steps, here's Apple's one.

I want to create an account with my iTunes gift card, but don't want to enter a credit card.That's easy! Follow these simple steps
1. Install the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes (it's free) from the Download iTunes webpage. If iTunes is already installed on your computer, check your version and update if necessary.
2. Open iTunes.
3. In the Source list (on the left side of the iTunes window), click iTunes Store.
4. In the upper-right corner of the iTunes Store window, verify that the button next to Account says "Sign In." If this button displays an email address instead, click the button and then click Sign Out.
5. In the iTunes Store window, click the Redeem link in the right column.
6. In the resulting screen, enter the 16-digit code printed on the back of the card (it starts with an "X"), then click Redeem.
7. In the resulting screen, create your new iTunes Store account. You will have the option to enter credit card information; if you do not wish to do so, click the None button on the Payment screen.
8. Once you've successfully redeemed your music card, the credit amount will appear next to the Account details in the upper-right corner. Each time you purchase music, iTunes will deduct funds from the credit until it's depleted. If a pending purchase exceeds the credit amount, iTunes will ask you to enter a credit card number. You do not need to re-enter your music card number to make multiple purchases.

Ahhh, I got IS too but sadly I'm just like you, not good at sticking those stuff.
As for now, there's a lot of dust at there and I'm embarrassed to show it.
Try asking for a replacement
I told them that I followed the instructions, watched numerous videos, but it still went bad. Then they said that they'll allow a special case for my replacement, as usually installation errors are not covered for their replacement guarantee. Should be arriving this week
