Just tried creating an US iTunes account. Unfortunately after 2 hours i still dont get any activation emails from them.

so i went on the live chat and the guy kept pestering me for my billing address..haih..looks like this is their last method of stopping people outside of US to create? I hope not.

I didnt dare to tell coz i put some dunno wat place in US as my address. lol

i faced the same problem when the 1st time creating the account. what i did was changing the email address for the activation email to my another email account. and somehow it worked.

@dietylord,
I don't know what your issues/problems are in creating an Account but please refer to the first few posts in this thread for help/information.

I guess some ppl just don't think we should take things seriously. That's why they stay where they are.. Always asking but not helping in anyway unless they are willing to help providing infos.
If you have a hard time creating a US iTunes acc, create a M'sia acc first. It's not that hard really.

There's a pdf tutorial by forumer friends. Made easy to help create US iTunes acc. Follow the guide.

Cheers

I already followed the pdf tutorial. Theres 2 problem:

1) After I requested the activation email, apple didn't send it to me. As usual, I go back to itunes and resend to the same email and different email several times. Still no email received.

2) Finally I did receive the email but the link provided in that email to activate my account doesn't work as once i clicked it, it brings me to appstore main page. So I tried signing in and again it says my account isnt activated.

So at first I assumed itunes' email server is congested and thus the late email sending but then the activation link itself is broken. I have talked to them via livechat and emails but both also ask my home address which I dont dare to disclose since it's not real address.

I know can creat Msia acc, but the apps there is sooooo little. I guess I'll ask either my US friend or Aust friend to create for me. Haih. Sorry for troubling you guys.

@davidgary: I have installed the latest itunes and click on the activation link again but still nothing. Anyway I use the resend option again so hopefully this time can.

finally able to create my US account...what I did differently this time is to use my company's vpn so technically when I click on the activation link, my IP shows that I am in US.

I hope that is not a factor else future if anyone wants to create an US account, you would have to find a vpn or a proxy to hide that you are not from US.
