How to Create an Apple ID on an iPhone: 12 Steps (with Pictures)

For doing things like downloading and updating apps, making purchases from iTunes, and making FaceTime calls, you'll need an Apple ID. If you don't already have an Apple ID, this article will show you how to create one.
STEPS
_ 1TURN ON AND UNLOCK YOUR IPHONE. Enter your passcode if your device requires one.



2
TAP THE SETTINGS APP FROM THE HOME SCREEN.



3
SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE THE "ITUNES AND APP STORES" ENTRY.



4
TAP "ITUNES tap it again at the alert that shows. If you have trouble reading the document, you can choose to have it emailed to you by tapping "Send by Email" and entering a valid email address.



8
FILL IN YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, A PASSWORD, THREE SECURITY QUESTIONS WITH THEIR APPROPRIATE ANSWERS, AND YOUR BIRTH DATE. Your password must have at least
8
characters (including a number and an uppercase and lowercase letter) with no spaces. It also shouldn't have three consecutive characters (ggg), be your Apple ID, or a previous password you've used in the last year. After registration, your email address will become your Apple ID.



9
ENTER YOUR BILLING INFORMATION. To make an Apple ID, a payment method needs to be provided in the form of a debit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express), iTunes gift card, or iTunes gift certificate.
Understand that your card will not_ be charged _until_ you make a purchase of a _paid_ app. For free apps, you will never be charged.
Your billing address will also need to be provided, which consists of your full name, street address, city name, state/province name, postal code, and phone number. This is just for confirmation of your payment information, and receipts of any purchase you make will be emailed to you, rather than through a postal service.





10
VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT. An email will be sent to the email address you've provided.



11
LOG INTO YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT AND LOOK FOR AN EMAIL FROM APPLE. The subject line will be "Please verify the contact email address for your Apple ID." Open it and click the link to verify your account.



12
SIGN IN WITH YOUR APPLE ID CREDENTIALS ON THE APPLE WEBSITE, AND CLICK "VERIFY ADDRESS". If it works, you are now the newest owner of an Apple ID!

TIPS
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.
You can also set up your Apple ID on your PC.
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.
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!
WARNINGS
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

Internet connection
Valid email address
Valid debit card, iTunes gift card, or gift certificate
