Registering an Apple ID without a credit card. iPhone registration features

The App Store is one of the reasons why many people prefer iOS devices. In the Apple app store, you can find not only a lot of games, but also a lot of useful programs that can greatly simplify the life of mobile device owners. Another thing is that without an Apple ID, which is the key to Apple services, it is not possible to use the App Store or iTunes Store as a whole. Therefore, to be able to enjoy all the benefits of using an iPhone or iPad, you must first create an Apple ID account.

Contents of the instruction You can create a new Apple ID both on the iPhone itself, and using a computer, through the iTunes program, or even do it through a browser from any device with Internet access. Each of the indicated methods is convenient and justified in its own way in certain life situations.

How to create an Apple ID using iTunes

Here we need to specify an active e-mail, password, select security questions and give answers to them, indicate the date of birth and, if possible, a backup e-mail. Unlike signing up for an Apple ID on an iPhone or iPad (see below), iTunes doesn't prompt you to create a new @icloud.com mailbox, so you must have an email address and, importantly, an active one.

After entering the necessary information, you will be redirected to the next page, where you need to specify the payment method.

If you are using a bank card, this registration step will not cause you any difficulties. Otherwise, read the instructions below.

How to create an Apple ID account without a card

You can create an Apple ID account without a card in iTunes. Launch iTunes and go to iTunes Store > App Store.

Here we are interested in any free application. We choose what we like and try to download it.

At the same time, of course, the program will immediately prompt us to either specify an Apple ID or create a new one. We agree to create a new one and go through the same procedure for filling in the data described above. Moreover, at the stage of specifying the payment method, a pleasant surprise awaits us - the ability to refuse to select a card.

We select “No” in the “Payment method” line, after which we only need to fill in the “Billing address” section. You will no longer be required to provide an iTunes card. Do not forget to check your mailbox and activate the created account after.

You can also create an Apple ID without a card on the iPhone in the device settings. The following describes how to do this.

How to create an Apple ID on iPhone, iPad

1. when activating the device through the "Setup Assistant" program;
2. in the device settings;
3. through the App Store or iTunes Store apps;
4. on the My Apple ID website.

You can create a new Apple ID as soon as you activate your device using the Setup Assistant. That is, bringing home a brand new iPhone or iPad, you can immediately, in the process of activating and setting it up, get an Apple ID. It is very easy to do this. We hold down the Power button, located on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on the side panel, and on earlier models on top, and wait until an apple appears on the screen - the Apple logo. Next, we are greeted by the Setup Assistant program, following the instructions of which it will be possible to create a new Apple ID.

2. Create an Apple ID on iPhone or iPad through the Settings app.

If your device is already activated, you can create a new Apple ID directly from your iPhone or iPad settings. To do this, launch the "Settings" application and go to the iCloud section. Here you can find the coveted "Create Apple ID" button.

By tapping on it, we will be asked to indicate our date of birth, first and last name, e-mail, password, pass the stage of security questions, and so on.

After going through all the stages of registration, you can safely use the freshly created Apple iD in the App Store. True, when trying to buy something in the App Store or iTunes Store, users of the Apple ID created in this way will have to go through a number of stages, including specifying a payment method. Remarkably, the Apple store will not require you to provide a bank card number without fail.

3. Create an Apple ID on an iPhone or iPad through the App Store or iTunes Store apps (App Store registration)

Similarly to the method described above, you can create an Apple ID through the App Store or iTunes Store applications. To do this, you need to launch one of the two applications to choose from and go to the first section in a row. For example, in the App Store it would be "Featured". Here, at the very bottom of the page, there is a panel with quick links, under which there is a "Login" button. When tapping on the button, we will be asked to choose how we want to enter the App Store: with an existing Apple ID or create a new one. We select "Create an Apple ID" and patiently go through all the necessary registration steps.

Accordingly, if you already have an Apple ID, but there is a need to create a new one, you can simply log out of your iCloud, App Store or iTunes Store accounts and follow the instructions described above.

4. Create an Apple ID on the My Apple ID page.

So, open the "My Apple ID" page and pay attention to the "Create Apple ID" button.

Here again we are waiting for a number of fields for data entry. We need to specify the full name, e-mail, which will be used as an Apple ID, create a password, select and answer security questions, indicate the date of birth, postal address and preferred language.

After that, it is mandatory to confirm the e-mail. To do this, you will need to open the mail, find and open a letter from Apple. Next, click on the Verify Now link and sign in with your new Apple ID and password.

If you are a happy owner of Apple technology, then you should definitely get acquainted with the Apple ID. Almost every self-respecting company in the IT field has a number of services that require a separate, branded account to work with. Apple does not do without a similar one, whose services are completely tied to an online account.

Apple ID - what is it?

In simple terms, an Apple ID is a single account that gives you access to Apple's online services, software, and communications technology, unlocking the full potential of Californian electronics. Before registering an account, it is worth familiarizing yourself with its capabilities. With an Apple ID, you will have access to:

• iCloud is a cloud storage where you can store documents, photos and other materials. Also, this service is used to synchronize data between applications.
• iMessage and FaceTime are technologies that provide text communication (the ability to exchange messages, images, music and files) and video communication (video chats in the manner of Skype).
• The iTunes Store is a huge collection of media content, movies, music and apps for your devices.
• Apple Music is an iTunes music library paid for in the form of a subscription (monthly payment). Money will be debited from a credit card or mobile phone balance every 30 days.
• Find my iPhone is a service for finding and blocking a lost or stolen device.
• iCloud Keychain is a mechanism for saving and syncing your passwords and credit cards.

Users often wonder how to register an Apple ID without and with a credit card. Both options can be implemented both on a mobile device (iPhone or iPad) and on a computer using iTunes.

How to register an Apple ID on an iPhone?

From the Settings menu, select Account or iCloud and click Sign In. You will be prompted to enter the details of an existing account or create a new one. As soon as you select the desired item, you will be taken to a welcome web page. The user will then be prompted to review the terms of use of the account. The next page is registration, on which you should enter the following data:

• E-Mail - you must enter the email address that will be required to confirm registration.
• Password - required to log in and protect your entry.
• Security is another point to prevent your data from being stolen. You are prompted to select three questions and enter the answers to them (make sure only you and people you trust know the answers, as answering them can get access to your Apple ID account).
• Backup E-Mail is an optional item that can be used to restore an account when the main mailbox is unavailable.
• Date of birth is a rather important item, since only users over 13 years old can go through the registration process. There are also content restrictions if you are under 18.
• Registering an Apple ID also requires payment information. You can enter your credit card number and CVV or mobile phone bill to pay for iTunes and AppStore purchases.

The final point is to check the specified email to confirm registration.

That's it, now you are a full-fledged Apple ID user.

How to register an Apple ID without a credit card?

If you don't want to leave your payment information in iCloud and sync it online, you can create an account without entering your payment information. But it is worth considering a number of points before registering an Apple ID. Without a credit card, you won't be able to purchase iTunes content, download paid games and apps, or use Apple Music. You will still have access to iCloud, iMessage and other free services. To create such an account, skip the registration step, go to the AppStore, find any free item and try to download it. Next, you will be asked to enter all the same data, except for the appearance of a new item. On the screen for entering payment data, the item "Missing" will appear - select it and complete the registration.

Now you can use your account absolutely free.

iTunes Gift Cards

If you still decide to purchase something, you can use an iTunes gift card, which can be bought at retail stores that sell Apple products.

To activate this card, you need to open the AppStore or iTunes Store, scroll the store page to the bottom and press the Reedem button and enter the code from the card (in Russia it is indicated on the receipt).

How to remove an ID?

If at some point in time you decide to get rid of your account or no longer plan to use Apple devices, then you have two options.

Editing mail and payment information - you simply edit (replace) your data with non-existent or unnecessary ones and forget about the existence of your account.

Contacting support is the easiest way: just call the toll-free support phone and ask them to delete your account. Prepare the answers to the secret questions that were entered during registration in advance in order to complete the procedure as quickly as possible.

Getting an account from Apple is the first task of any owner of an iOS device. And it is better to do it immediately after its purchase. Without an ID number, it will not be possible to use the functionality of an iPhone or iPad at 100%. If you want to purchase software in the AppStore or reflash your gadget, all these tasks will require ID verification. This number will allow you to activate the search option, and if you lose your device, you can easily find it. The same function will help you put a block on your gadget if it is stolen.

But the most attractive thing about owning an ID is the ability to download hundreds of applications for free from the Apple store. Anyone here will find software to their liking. Programs are presented in a wide variety of categories - for work, entertainment, leisure ...

In the "cloud" you will have access to 5 GB of space. All copies of your device data will also be stored here. And if you set up automatic backup, they will be generated daily.

As a rule, an account is created during the very first launch of an iOS device. But if you prefer the representative of the sixth line to the old iPhone model, tie it to the current number.

To start registration, create a new e-mail intended for this purpose. All data must be entered correctly so that in case of problems when you need to put a block on the gadget or remove it, you can easily remember everything.

Next, let's talk about the various options for creating an account. This operation is performed both from a PC / laptop through the well-known iTunes application, and through the device itself. Both methods do not require much effort and time. Read on for the steps to follow for each.

Here it is possible to pass the usual registration with the indication of the bank code number and without it. It is necessary to indicate payment data for those who plan to purchase many different products in the AppStore. If you do not need this, feel free to choose the second path.

In any case, you will have to go through the following steps to create an account:

• In the usual situation with a card, go to the iTunes Store section and select the item to create a new ID. If for some reason you absolutely do not want to indicate the card number, go to the AppStore and find any free access software there. Download and install it on your iPhone. A window will immediately pop up with a proposal to enter under the current account or create a new one. Choose the latter.
• The next steps will be the same, regardless of your attitude towards using the card. You will need to select your country of residence. Here it is recommended to choose Russia, even if you are in the CIS. The fact is that for the Russian-speaking public, the list of applications is more diverse.
• Read the license agreements and accept them.
• Drive in the requested e-mail data, a complex combination of password characters, remember. That it cannot be identical to the login, that is, the ID itself.
• When entering age data, remember that there is an age limit. Thus, the company does not allow persons under 13 years of age to register. Downloading software is possible from the age of 18.
• Provide answers to questions and be sure to write them down on paper so that you can recall if necessary.
• A window will pop up for entering payment data or with the line "No", depending on the previously selected method. Write whatever you need.
• Click on the "Next" element, this step will complete the operation. It remains to proceed to the mailbox. There should be a message from apple asking you to verify your ID. It will also contain a link that you need to follow.

Using iTunes to create an ID

As in the previous method, there are 2 possibilities here - to work with or without a bank card. Choose what you need. And the algorithm of work will be as follows:

• Go to the iTunes menu, and then to the store. But this is when providing a card number. If without this - select any free software for downloading and proceed to the menu through it.
• From this step, everything is normal for both methods. We get into the login field through the current or new account - to choose from. We stop our attention on creating a new ID-number.
• We provide real information about ourselves. If possible, write down the answers and store them in a safe place.
• We drive in the data on the bank card, that is, payment. If you logged in through free software, select "No".
• We find the button for creating ID - numbers from below and click on it.
• We expect messages from the "apple" company to your e-mail and follow the link. Keep in mind that it does not always come with lightning speed, sometimes you need to wait 1-2 minutes. In situations like this, it's a good idea to check the spare box. If you incorrectly indicated at least one character in the main, then the message will come there. Double-check your spam folders and trash. Not always postal workers correctly determine them.

Benefits of having an ID number

As you have already understood, creating an ID is a simple and time-consuming operation. But the result will be excellent. It will be expressed in such pluses as:

Thus, the ID number is our "passport" in the Apple ecosystem. By purchasing it, we can enjoy all the benefits available there and at the same time provide effective protection for our device.

How to remove Apple ID: choose the best way

There are two options for how to do this:

• Change account information on the account management page.
• Write to support on the company's resource on the network.

The second method is not particularly difficult - you just need to fill out a form on the site. Let's talk about the second one in more detail. To implement it, we need a PC / laptop on any operating system (or any iOS device) and a stable network connection.

Changing registration data is the easiest way to remove an ID. Moreover, you can change the information in any order. For example, it can be an address or any other data. The account is saved.

On a PC, you need to launch iTunes, go to the software store and click on the sign in button.

We go into its settings and drive in the necessary changes in personal data, save them.

Keep in mind that connecting an invalid e-mail to your account will not work, because to confirm the changes you need to follow the link that should come to the e-mail.

The same process can be performed through a resource on the network. To do this, follow the address: http://appleid.apple.com/en/. Enter your username and password characters. After completing these steps, the Apple ID account will be deleted. Is it possible to delete an ID on an iPhone 5 or other device in a different way? Of course, this has already been mentioned above. If it's easier for you, contact support directly.

In general, both creating an Apple ID account and deleting it are standard operations that do not require special knowledge. Even a schoolboy can handle them.
