New Apple ID. How to find out and where to view your Apple iD on iPad

I absolutely welcome you! iTunes, App Store, Apple ID, iCloud and many other incomprehensible terms fall on the head of a person who purchased Apple equipment for the first time. It’s okay, we’ll sort it all out with you. And today we’ll talk about the most important thing - what is an Apple ID? And this is nothing more than a unique account or identifier in the Apple ecosystem. By the way, a very important thing!

Why? Because it is the Apple ID that allows you to fully enjoy all the services and functions that Apple technology offers - without it, your iPhone or iPad simply will not work to its fullest :)

Includes two main parameters:

Email (to which registration takes place).
Password (you specify yourself).

Actually, the Apple ID consists of these two parts. The remaining parameters (address, zip code, phone number, security question) are not so important, but they will definitely be useful for account recovery (if suddenly).

This thing is absolutely irreplaceable, because roughly speaking, without it, your device is nothing more than just a set of materials and microcircuits. No, of course, the iPhone will be able to make calls, the iPad will be able to access the Internet, and the iPod will be able to play music, but a truly huge world of possibilities opens up when registering in the system.

Briefly, what is an Apple ID for?

Make purchases in the App Store (games, applications).
Download music and videos from iTunes.
Use the iCloud service (Don’t know what it is? The answer is).
and them.
Use FiceTime and iMessage.
Lock your device, erase all data and find it if lost.
Much more...

It also stores all data about the applications you have purchased and downloaded. For example, you downloaded a game for free, and a year later look - it already costs 99 rubles. However, you can always reinstall it without paying a penny.

This is used by many sellers who offer to “upgrade” your phone or tablet, that is, download a lot of programs and games.

The idea is that they enter their account (which has already made purchases) and download applications to the device.

I strongly advise you not to use this service because:

It costs a lot of money (from 1000 rubles to infinity - it depends on the greed of the store).
They most likely will not give you the password for your account. And without it, it is impossible to update programs and games, as well as download new ones.
Well, as a rule, the seller does not ask what exactly is needed, but installs everything (the main thing is that there is more). Then it turns out that there are very few really necessary applications there.

As you understand, this is just wasted money.

In general, in order to fully use the device, you need to create your own, unique Apple ID. This should only be your account! But we’ll look at how to do this in as much detail as possible!

Creating an account on an iPhone is one of the most important manipulations for every owner of an Apple smartphone. Only with your own ID can you enjoy the full range of functions of this device. In addition, important operations such as setting up security or synchronizing with iCloud will require confirmation from your Apple ID. Thanks to your Apple ID, you can make purchases, download content, and use the Find My iPhone feature.

Typically, an Apple ID is created on your phone the first time you use the gadget. If you're upgrading to a newer model, you can link your new iPhone to your existing account. But if you are using gadgets from an American company for the first time, you will need to complete full registration. Before you change your Apple ID to a new one, you need to create a mailbox. It's best to use a separate email address that you just created if you need to create an Apple ID account.

During initial authorization on the official website, you must enter real data so that, if necessary, you have the opportunity to restore access. In addition, truthful information about you will be required when setting up your account later. Therefore, be extremely careful and try to avoid mistakes when entering account information.

Create an account using iPhone

You can create Apple company accounts directly from your iPhone. To do this, there are two options: go through standard registration, in which you need to provide information from your bank cards to make payments, or create an Apple ID without a credit card. Up-to-date payment information will be required if you purchase any software from the AppStore. If you do not plan to make purchases and do not want to do it accidentally, for example, by mistake. We recommend using the second, more sophisticated method.

The standard procedure is carried out as follows: you need to open the iTunes Store, App Store tab and find the “Create a new Apple ID” item there.

If you want to register an Apple ID without payment cards and for free, proceed as follows:

Go to the App Store.
Select a game or application that is offered for free.
Download and wait for it to install on your iPhone.
The next step is to log into an existing account or create a completely new one. When prompted, select “create a new ID.”

After this, the steps are similar in both options:

If you do not want to link a card, for one reason or another, it is better to set Russia as the country, even if you live in another country - this will give you a wider selection of applications, programs and other things.
After this, you need to carefully read and accept the standard user agreement.
Then personal information is entered. When specifying your existing email address and password, be careful - for security reasons, the password must consist of at least eight characters and have letters in both cases.
When specifying your age, please note that you cannot indicate less than 13 years of age, and if you indicate less than 18, access to the content will be limited.
It is best to save the answers you enter to security questions in a text file or write them down on paper and hide them. This is done so that, if necessary, you can quickly and safely restore access to your account.
If you register using the first method, you will then need to enter payment information.
The procedure is completed.

After this, you need to go to the mailbox that was used to create the account. You should receive a letter from technical support confirming the creation of your Apple ID. For the first apple id registration to go quickly and correctly, just click on the highlighted link in the text of the letter.

iTunes to the rescue

Alternatively, you can create an account for an iPhone or iPad using the official iTunes program. In this situation, you will be able to choose whether to provide information about your cards or not. Before you change your ID, you need to go to the menu and find the iTunes Store item there. If you want to learn how to create an Apple ID without payment data, as in the first case, you need to download any free application and go to this menu using it.

After this, the steps are standard in both cases:

The system will offer to log in to a newly created, existing account or create a new one.
Having chosen the option to create a new one, enter your data. As stated earlier, they must be factual for you to verify their authenticity.
After this, you will have to answer security questions (it is better to write down the answers) and enter your card details or refuse this if you want to create an Apple ID without a credit card.
After completing registration, be sure to go to your mailbox and immediately confirm creation in the mail using the highlighted link in the body of the letter.

If the letter is from those. support does not arrive for a long time, check your spam folders and filtered letters by other categories - often letters arrive there by mistake.

What mistakes can be made?

To find out how to register an ID on an iPhone correctly, how to change the ID on the device, you need to know what mistakes to avoid. Most often, the following difficulties arise in the process:

You don't want to make purchases on the App Store. To avoid even accidentally purchasing any paid content without providing bank card details.
It is best to indicate your real age, but only if it is over 13, or better yet, over 18 years old. If you set the age to 12 years or less, the system simply will not allow you to create your own Apple ID. And if you indicate an age of less than 18, you will not have access to all content.
If you managed to get an email address with an @iCloud.com or @me.com address, you will have to create a new email account to register an account for your iPhone. These addresses are not suitable for creating accounts.
If the name you entered contains invalid characters, please note that there are no Russian letters in the email address, and that there are no extra symbols, dots, numbers, etc. in the first and last name.
The password must be complex. If the password is too simple, the system will not allow you to complete the process completely. Numbers, large and small letters, symbols - the more of them in the password, the better.
An obstacle to creating an ID on an iPhone can be a server failure. In this case, it is best to wait and continue after half an hour - an hour, when the servers are working properly.

In general, registering a new Apple ID does not take much time. Even an inexperienced user can carry out this operation if he follows the instructions.

We'll tell you how to set up and manage your Apple ID in the next article, stay tuned.

Conclusion

You already understand that creating an account for an iPhone is no more difficult than creating an e-mail. You need to understand the essence of the process and then mechanically fill in the necessary fields. Registration does not take a lot of time, so in 20 minutes you will be able to use your smartphone as the rightful owner of a smart device capable of many amazing things.

Video instruction

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. I’m slowly acquiring gadgets from Apple - I really liked their uncompromising approach to user convenience.

iTunes is installed exactly like any other application on your computer, and has support for the Russian language. In addition, you can immediately understand what exactly it will allow you to do and what opportunities it will provide:

At one of the steps you will be asked to check the box to accept the agreement for the use of this software. When you first launch it, you will be asked to give Apple access to your media library so that photos of artists and disc covers can be uploaded to it. I don't need it, so I chose the cancel option.

After downloading and installing iTunes on your computer, it makes sense to immediately click on the one located at the top left "Login" button and register in iTunes, i.e. create a new account.

Press the button "Create an Apple ID". We continue and agree to the terms of registration.

To secure your profile, it is better to answer the questions and enter another mailbox address. If there is already one, a new password will be sent to it in the future. Next, enter your date of birth. If you are under 18 years old, I advise you to enter a different date, since many applications are only allowed to be downloaded by adults.

Then click on the “Continue” button, after which you will be prompted to immediately enter your credit card information, with which you can pay for the purchase of applications in the App Store. Is it possible to create an Apple ID without a card?? Of course, you can, but you will have to start registering from the beginning.

To add card details, in the upper left corner of the iTunes window, click on your Apple ID and select “Account”.

In the window that opens, find the item "Payment method" and click a little to the right on the “edit” link.

It's simple: enter the card number, security code and other data. When you register for the first time, one ruble will be withdrawn from your account in order to verify its authenticity.

If you then connect it to a computer Ipad via USB when iTunes is turned off, this will cause it to launch and it will automatically detect the gadget connected to it, and will also display it in the form of a button like this:

On the button on the right there will be an upward-pointing triangle (you might have seen something like this on CD players, where it was used to eject media). I accidentally clicked on it at first, expecting the context menu to appear, but instead the button disappeared and my iPad disconnected from the computer.

I had to close and reopen iTunes to reconnect with my tablet. You need to click a little to the left and then all the diversity of the inner world of your gadget will open to you. On the first tab "Review" a page opens with its name and model, as well as with all other data. Battery charge, capacity, serial number.

You can immediately update the software of your gadget (check for availability and download a new version of iOS) or restore its state to factory settings (the “Restore iPad” button), that is, erase all personal data and bring the device to the state in which you purchased (alas, this does not apply to scratches).

It turns out that from here you can control your “apple”, as well as create backups or recover from them. You can even encrypt them for greater reliability if the data stored on the iPhone or iPad is confidential. By default, iTunes will create an image of your tablet or phone on your computer, but you can also save important data in the cloud, which Apple calls iCloud.

Create backups ( sync iPhone, iPod or iPad with iTunes) is very important, because if you lose data, or buy a new version of the gadget, you can download all the programs again - in this case, we won’t have to search and buy everything again.

Moreover, as shown in the screenshot located just below (the second), it will be possible set up automatic synchronization immediately when you connect the device (via USB), and you can also set up wi-fi synchronization between your computer with iTunes and your iPhone.

All this data can be saved not only on a computer, but also in cloud storage, the so-called iCloud.

With its help, you can download some data, for example, saves for games directly to the gadget without connecting to a computer via the Internet.

How to sync iPhone, iPod or iPad with iTunes?

Also at the bottom there is a very convenient and interesting panel, here we can clearly understand what exactly takes up space on the internal memory and how much. You can also click the “Synchronize” button.

A what exactly will be synchronized between a computer and an iPhone, iPod or iPad? Well, this is up to you - just go through all the other tabs of the top menu and check the boxes in the right places.

It turns out that here you can download music, video or photos from your computer to your device and back, but not only that. Moreover, there is an opportunity create your own music library(not from tracks purchased from the Apple store, but from our own tracks that live on your computer).

To do this, open the folder with your music in Explorer (or Total Commander), and in iTunes go to the “Music” tab.

After that, select all the necessary tracks in the explorer and drag them to the empty space in the program, as shown in the screenshot.

iTunes will offer to convert some types of music files into a format convenient for this program:

You can edit this music and even listen to it directly in iTunes. Right-click on any music file icon and select “Play” from the context menu. A player will appear on the top panel, where the bitten apple used to be.

If you click on the arrow in this very player, a window will open where you can choose which music will be played for which. If you are not satisfied with these “gray notes” instead of the cover of your favorite band, then you can change it as well as the name.

To do this, right-click on the icon again and select “Details”. A window will open, where you can write the title, album, etc. To change the cover, first copy the image you want, then go to the cover tab and click paste. Beauty.

To transfer this music to your device, click on the device button (Iphone or iPad) in the top right, and in the window that opens, go to the “Music” tab, where you can specify what exactly to copy. Well, to start synchronization, click on the button "Ready", located at the top right of the window.

If everything worked out, then instead of the player a bar will appear showing the music loading.

Great, you have music on your iPhone or iPad. A You don’t want to sync movies via iTunes?

In the same way as in the case of music, drag the video files into the program and click on the “Finish” button. You can download books in the same way.

iTunes and App Store

Movies, books, music - everything is there. But what else is needed for complete happiness? Of course, access to a store with millions of applications for every taste, which can be obtained both from a gadget and from a computer using iTunes.

Let's press the button "iTunes Store", which is in the upper right corner. A store opens before us where you can purchase movies, music and applications. We already have films with music, so click "App Store".

The large banners at the top are new and popular applications. On the right you can select a category or, going a little lower, another section. If you want to have a free application, then click "Download" or "Buy" button, in case it is paid. To install it, you will have to enter the password you created earlier when creating your Apple ID.

The downloaded or purchased program will live in your Apple ID account, and you can always install it on your gadget. To do this, connect it to your computer and go to the Applications tab in iTunes. Find there visually or using the search bar the application you just downloaded and click the “Install” button opposite it.

If you need to install any other applications or games from iTunes on your iPhone or iPad, then also click on the “Install” button opposite them. The text will change to “Will be installed.” Next, go down and click on the “Apply” button located there.

The synchronization process will begin, during which your new application will be successfully installed on your gadget.

In general, no one is stopping you from connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi and browsing the App Store directly from your Apple gadget in search of the necessary software or games. However, the variety of options only adds to the convenience.

Improving the usability of iTunes and the App Store

Well, now you can use, at first glance, a very complex and sophisticated program, but in the end, convenient and functional. Perhaps this is all I wanted to tell you about the right hand of the owner of Apple products.
