What is an Apple ID and how to register it

Apple ID is a special account that will allow you to use all the features of the iPhone and iTunes, use iCloud and others Apple services. When registering an Apple ID, your email is linked to your iPhone, iPad or Mac to use media, synchronize applications, games and data, find your phone and other Apple services.

Registering an Apple ID without a card is not difficult, because the user only has to fill out a couple of lines with personal information and come up with a password. But it’s important not to forget the treasured numbers and letters. If you forget your password, you will need to reset it Apple password ID or reboot the phone. The main problem is that the owners do not want to transfer information about the credit card, but without this registration is impossible. Such data is needed for purchases in the App Store and iTunes Store. But thanks to a little trick, you can get around this point.

There are two methods for registering an Apple ID without a credit card:

• using the iPhone itself;
• with the help MAC computer or PC.

But there are several prerequisites when creating a new Apple ID:

• You need to indicate a real email address where the activation code will be sent;
• Registration is available for users over 18 years of age, but younger ones face restrictions.

And let’s highlight that Apple ID without a credit card is activated for free!

In this case, a credit card is not needed and you can use the phone without any inconvenience. If you need to buy something in the AppStore or increase the size of the cloud in iCloud Drive, you can link your bank card later. All you need is the iPhone itself and an internet connection. The action plan is:

• unlock your iPhone;
• go to the App Store;
• go to the program lists, select a free application and select the “Download” line;
• Click on the box that says “Create an Apple ID” in the window that appears;
• select the desired country, for example, Ukraine;
• agree to the terms of use;
• enter real(this is important!) address email box, create a password and answers to questions;
• You need to enter all personal information, which is checked and may be required if your phone is lost;

It is important that the code consists of at least eight characters, with capital and small letters, and a couple of numbers. Write down your password somewhere so you don't forget. And don’t forget where you put the piece of paper with the password :)

• After filling out the data, you need to click “No” in the entry point for the credit card number. When the “No” line does not appear, check the country of registration. After entering the Ukrainian region, make sure that the desired country checkbox is selected in the corner;
• check your email for an email confirming your Apple ID activation;
• After clicking on the link, the Apple ID creation will be completed.

Registering an Apple ID using a MAC or PC

Another option for activating an Apple ID without a card is to use a computer, or rather an application – iTunes:

• download the latest version of the iTunes application;
• After downloading and unpacking is complete, go to the program store and download any;
• after the password entry line appears, select “Create new Apple ID";
• read the specifics of the agreement and put “Consent” in the “Accepted” line;
• enter your real email address, choose a password and enter the answers to the questions provided (code guidelines remain the same as we described above);
• after the window with payment methods appears, click “No” and the “Next” button;
• You will receive a confirmation email with an active link that you need to follow;
• After this, registration will be completed.

Let us highlight that you can make purchases in a store or iTunes not only through bank cards, but also through iTunes Gift Card certificates.

When purchasing, pay attention to the denomination and type of certificate, since European or Russian ones will not be valid in every country.

How to unlink a card from an Apple ID account?

If you previously registered an Apple ID by linking a card, but want to reverse the situation, then this is possible. To do this you need:

• go to settings on the device;
• log into iTunes and Apple ID by going to password;
• click “View password”;
• go to Payment Information, and in Payment Type click “No”.

After unlinking your credit card, you will also be able to download free applications, music and videos, and by chance paid program will not be purchased. This is relevant for those who have children, because often money is withdrawn after a couple of days without the knowledge of the user.

We advise you not to link a credit card to your Apple ID, because only the credit card information is checked, but not its balance. Therefore, if you buy applications without the required amount, you will go into debt, and your Apple ID will be blocked until you deposit the required amount into your account. If you need to buy a specific program, it is better to top up your balance with an iTunes card or temporarily link a bank card.

Whatever Apple ID registration method you choose, linking a bank card is important and necessary. Otherwise, you will not be able to fully use Apple products.
