Why is apple id not created? How to create an Apple ID - All methods.

Today we will create account V iTunes Store, which is also necessary to enter App Store, cloud service iCloud and many others Apple services. All this is possible thanks to the creation of a universal Apple ID that is personal and starts once for all your Apple gadgets; it is thanks to it that all content is so easily and naturally synchronized between devices.

The main difficulty that beginners face is ignorance of the features of working with the application store and therefore, before downloading paid content, they first try to work with free applications, but in order for this operation to be successful, it is necessary to correctly perform all the steps described below at the stage of creating an account . We will look at two ways to register an account:

Dear users, I once again strongly recommend that you take the utmost responsibility in filling out all fields, as this is a guarantee that everything will work out the first time. And one more piece of advice, it has been noticed that mailboxes with domain name such as *.com, those chosen to create an Apple ID are registered a little more successfully, so it makes sense to get yourself a Gmail mailbox specifically for this. Well, now, as always, step by step, we analyze the registration process in detail.

Create an Apple ID in iTunes on Mac

1. On your Mac, open iTunes and click on the iTunes Store tab.


2. Now scroll to the very bottom of the page and make sure that the flag of our Mother Russia is there, if not, select it from the list that appears when you click on the flag.


4. In the window that appears, click create an Apple ID, then continue.


5. At the next stage, Apple invites us to read the privacy policy and accept all the company’s terms and conditions. By the way, according to “official” statistics, residents of Russia are record holders for the speed of familiarization with this section :)


6. Next, you need to provide some information to create an Apple ID; treat this moment extremely responsibly and be sure to fill out all the fields. Another mandatory requirement is that you must have access to the email that you specify at the very beginning, since you will receive a letter confirming your registration.

Password requirements:

— At least 8 characters;

- At least one letter is required;

- At least one capital letter;

- At least one number;

— You cannot write several identical characters in a row (111, qqq);

— Must not match the Apple ID account;

— Should not be easy to guess (qwerty, 1234567890).

Well, a mega complicated and long password is also useless, firstly, you will be tortured to write it every time, for example, if you decide to make a little extra money using your iPhone (you will have to download applications often and, accordingly, enter the password each time), and secondly, no guarantees that you will easily remember it in a couple of months.


7. And here it is the treasured button No, click it, fill out the address fields (you can even enter the left data) and click create Apple ID .


8. Now a letter with approximately the following content will be sent to the specified email address:


Click confirm now and rejoice, all the free things are at our disposal. All that remains is to enter your data into iTunes .


Creating an account on iOS

Now let's look at a similar operation for iPhone and iPad owners.

1. Open any of the “stores” (App, iTunes or iBooks), I will do it using the App Store as an example. Just like in the previous method, we look for any demon paid application so as not to bother, you can select a category social media almost all applications there are free, then click on the free button, and then on install.

2. A window will appear in which we select create an Apple ID.

4. Read the 66 pages of the privacy policy (just kidding, just kidding 🙂) and click accept.

5. At this step you need to do everything the same as in point 6 of the first method.

6. In the payment information, select No and fill in the address information.

7. Open the activation letter in mailbox and confirm the creation of an Apple ID.

8. Enter your credentials in the App Store (iTunes Store or iBooks Store) and enjoy life, Apple will not receive a penny from us!

Also, the owner of an iPad or iPhone may not have his own bank account, and therefore a credit card, because he is a minor user who was given the device by his parents.

There are also users who do not want to show off their credit card when creating an ID. Therefore, there may be many reasons for reluctance to indicate payment information when creating an ID. Luckily, you can quickly open an Apple ID without a credit card at any time.

Some novice mobile device users complain that there is no “None” column, which allows the user to log in for free. Where is the way out? Follow the instructions below.

To register you need to perform simple manipulations:

  1. To get started, launch the App Store on your smartphone and use the “Featured”, “Top Charts” or “Search” sections to select a free application.
