Create Apple ID - Here's how
If you want to use Apple's paid services or use an iPhone or iPad, you must first create an Apple ID. This can be done either via iTunes or the browser.
Create Apple ID in the browser
You can also create an Apple ID via iTunes, but using the form in the browser is much faster and more convenient.
- Open the website for creating the Apple ID and click on the blue button "Create Apple ID" at the bottom right.
- Now enter the requested data in the form: Your email address serves as the Apple ID. It doesn't have to be from Apple. To do this, set a password and repeat it.
- Then fill out the form by choosing a security question and entering your personal details and address. The latter is not checked. However, you should of course enter it correctly if, for example, you plan to order something from the Apple Store.
- If you do not want to receive advertising and newsletters by email, remove the two ticks that follow.
- Then enter the combination of characters shown on the security image and tick the last box. Finally, click on the "Create Apple ID" button. Your account is almost set up.
- You will then receive an email with a confirmation link that you must open. Once you have done this, your Apple ID is successfully registered and you can use it to log in using iTunes, iPhone or iPad and in the Apple Store.
