Add New Question

• Question

  Do I have to pay money for starting an Apple ID?

  

  No. Apple IDs are completely free.

• Question

  How can I create a new Apple ID if I don't know any portions of my gift card codes?

  

  You can't use a gift card code to sign up for an Apple ID at first. You can redeem gift cards after your account has been set up. If you have no billing cards (credit cards or debit cards), please refer to Create an Apple ID Without a Credit Card to get you going.

• Question

  Can the same Apple ID continue with a different iPhone?

  

  Yes. Apple IDs can be transferred from one device to another, and even when you own two or more Apple devices at once, they can all use the same Apple ID interchangeably.

• Question

  If my spouse has an Apple ID, can I still create one without messing up their account on the same phone?

  

  Yes and no. Although inconvenient due to your spouse needing to set up their settings again, with a few extra taps into the settings, you can log them off the device and create your own account. Then, when your account is set up, you can have your spouse log back into his/her Apple ID. However, this will remove any personal settings your spouse had stored, such as Push Notifications and lots of others that may be near and dear to them.

• Question

  Are email addresses from the Gmail and Hotmail servers allowed when you try to create your Apple ID?

  

  It doesn't really matter what email you add to create your Apple ID on your iPhone; as long as you have an email account, you should be good to go. Even those outside of the two major email companies are even able to be created.

• Question

  What is a "rescue email" address?

  

  A rescue email is a secondary email in case the primary email doesn't work for some reason. However, it's rarely used, but is still required.

• Question

  If verified, will the email address not be used again?

  

  Once you've verified your email address for your Apple ID, you can't recreate the account using that email address again. Instead, use another email address to set up another account or log into your Apple device using this ID.

• Question

  What is the code for Visa?

  

  Each credit card has a different security code. Although it can be determined based on your card number on the front of the card, Visa doesn't have one single solitary number that's used on all Visa cards. It may be located on the back of your card near the signature bar but if not, contact your issuing bank for details.

• Question

  Can I use my old email as an Apple ID?

  

  No. Use your current email to create your Apple ID to ensure that Apple can contact you in an efficient manner. Keep your email as current as possible to ensure you have their receipts as well as they have your most current information should they need to contact you in the future.

• Question

  How can I enter both lower and uppercase letters for my password?

  

  Use your iPhone's keyboard for entering these letters. The shift key on the left side third row of the keyboard can be used to switch into uppercase mode.

• You can also set up your Apple ID on your PC.

• There are many other reasons you'll need an Apple ID–from installing new apps to your iPhone, to including an iCloud account, to transferring wirelessly apps from one place to another to updating apps (on slightly older iPhones with older iOS versions). Think about that!

• While choosing your email and password for your Apple ID, you can enter a rescue email address that can be used to access your account if it's been compromised or you've forgotten the password.

• The device, upon very first initial setup, will ask you to create an Apple ID. You won't be able to go through that step until you comply and create one.

Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

• If you don't have a credit card, Apple will not allow you to create an account. You must have a working credit card (debit cards with a credit-card symbol also work) account stored on your iPhone to be able to properly use it. Therefore, if you don't have one, don't try to even think about signing up just yet.

Things You'll Need

• iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad
• Internet connection
