If you have your own Apple ID, you have almost unlimited options. Access to the app store, the cloud, and so on is opened. Nevertheless, there is one small or large obstacle - you need a credit card, with which you can pay for the installation of special applications that are paid. How can I register with or without a credit card at iTunes? We provide you with instructions that will allow you to create an account with the parameters that you want to have.
Registration in iTunes if you have a credit card
For the uninitiated in the intricacies of the capabilities of modern gadgets, additional functions do not matter. So it's worth explaining what you can get with iTunes. The user has a unique opportunity to download books, films, music, and various interesting applications to his smartphone. If you intend to download paid applications (content), you need funds to pay. Therefore, a credit card is attached to the Apple ID. Now the latest films, music news and more are available to the smartphone user. It should be noted that it is very convenient to pay with a credit card.
But sometimes there are situations where convenience and problem are practically the same thing. Let's give an example. You gave your child an iPhone and, accordingly, attached a credit card to the Apple ID. To celebrate, he, in turn, began to acquire a bunch of content. He needs everything and everything is interesting. The bottom line is useless content on your offspring's smartphone and you have an empty credit card. Do you want to avoid such a situation, save yourself from unnecessary expenses? We recommend registering in iTunes without attaching a credit card. You can attach it when you really need to purchase useful content for money.
First registration option
To begin with, we will tell you how to register with a credit card. First way:
- On the Apple website, we need to go to the "Manage your Apple ID" section;
- Follow the link "Create Apple ID";
- Enter the email address and other data required by the program in the appropriate fields;
- We leave the answers to the control (mandatory) questions;
- If there is such a need, put a tick next to receiving special offers and announcements.
The next step is to enter the security code, and then click "Continue". To confirm the creation of an Apple ID, you need to use the code that will be sent to your email. After completing all the above steps, you will become the owner of the account in a few seconds. After that, it remains to enter the account data into the device and start using the new capabilities. From now on, you can access services such as iTunes Store, AppStore, iCloud and many others from your gadgets.
It's time to tie your credit card. To do this, you need to log into your account from your computer. In the "Payment and delivery" section, click "Add card" and specify the credit card details. By linking a payment method, you have the opportunity to download not only free content, but also paid content.
Attention! During registration, it is important to take a responsible attitude to the answers to security questions. Each of these questions requires an answer. Otherwise, you will not be able to register.
Second option
To be able to register in the AppStore and, accordingly, buy the necessary products, you need to install iTunes on your PC and download any paid application. At some point, you will be asked to enter your Apple ID. This is necessary to gain access to the purchase. If you have already created an account, just enter the details with a password and proceed to purchase.
In the event that you have not yet managed to use the method described above and have not registered, there is an opportunity to do this after the iTunes request to enter your account data. To do this, you need to click on "Create Apple ID" and go through the registration procedure step by step. In the paragraph on the method of payment, you will need to indicate the type of credit card (MasterCard, American Express, VISA)... Confirmation of registration is carried out using a control code that will be sent to you by mail. After all the manipulations, you have a personal account with a credit card attached to it.
The third option
If you are at home, then, in principle, problems can not arise. The computer is next to you. But what if there was no PC or laptop at hand? But even in this case, the task can be dealt with. We can register an account using iPod touch, iPad or iPhone. To get the result, go to the AppStore and try to download something paid. Given that you have not registered yet, you will be prompted to go through this procedure.
In this case, the registration process is no different from the actions carried out on the computer. It is enough just to follow step by step all the instructions that appear on the display. When prompted for a payment method, enter the credit card type as you would on a computer. Then we confirm by the code and we can safely use the account for our own purposes, including making a purchase of content.
Attention! It is important to take into account that the terms "credit card" and "credit card" mean any bank payment product. In this case, it can be both credit and debit cards of payment systems of different categories.
How to register in iTunes without a card
Considering the above described negative example with the attached card, as well as the presence in the network of many scammers who can pull hard earned savings from a bank card, many users are in no hurry to attach it. To some extent, they are indeed right. Moreover, if we take into account the current situation.
If you belong to this category of users, then registration without a card is suitable for you. Many are sure that linking a credit card is required and there are no other registration options. We tell you that such an opinion is erroneous. Using the provided functionality, we can easily register with iTunes without a card. This can be done on a computer, laptop or smartphone.
In order not to repeat ourselves, let's figure out how to go through the procedure on a computer. First you need to install iTunes. The next step is to try to download any free content. As soon as you are prompted to enter your Apple ID information, immediately click on "Create Apple ID". After that, you need to specify the email address (mail), name, surname, password, we give answers to security questions. Where you are asked about the method of payment, you should select "No".
At the very end of registration, you need to confirm the creation of an account using the control code that will come by mail and complete the procedure. As a result, we get the account we need without a bank card attached to it.
Attention! So, you already have an account, but the card is not tied to it. You also need access to paid applications. You do not need to create another account, you just need to link the payment instrument to an existing one. This can be done at any time when you need it.
Creating an account on an iPhone is an extremely important manipulation. Without it, in the future, you will not be able to fully enjoy all the functionality of this worthy device. And when all important procedures are performed - such as synchronization and recovery in iCloud, or setting security functions - the system will issue a request for confirmation. Thanks to her, you will activate "Find an iPhone" via iCloud, you will be able to download or buy content in the branded store for free.
You will also be able to access free 5GB of iCloud cloud storage and all of its services. Your iPhone's data will be backed up in your personal iCloud cloud (on the Apple server), which is very helpful in case of unforeseen failures in its work.
Usually it is created at the stage of the first launch of the iPhone. If you are changing an old model to a "six", you can link it to an existing Apple ID. Before registering, you will need to create a mailbox, and it is better to make a separate one for this purpose. All data must be entered correctly so that they correspond to the present. Believe me, in case of any problems, you will not regret it, because you can restore, lock or unlock your device if it is lost or stopped working.
Creation options
An account can be created both from the device itself - through the built-in service, or from a computer using the original iTunes application. There is nothing complicated in either version. The main thing is to have access to a stable Internet, and a little time for the routine registration procedure.
1. In order to create an account directly from the device, you can use one of two ways:
in the first case - you go through the standard registration, indicating the data of payment cards,
in the second, you can do without them.
Card data is entered by those who want to purchase software in the App Store in the future, if you do not intend to do this, use the second method. So:
- With standard registration - go to the smartphone settings in the tab - iTunes Store, App Store, and select in it - Create a new Apple ID.
- In the second case, go to the App Store, find any free application there, download and install it on your iPhone (this is extremely important if you want to register without specifying payment card details). In this case, a window is highlighted with a proposal to enter under an existing one, or create a new account. Choose the second option.
Further actions are similar in both cases. You will be prompted to select a country, if you live in the CIS - better put Russia, because for the Russian-speaking population, there are much more various program proposals and other content. (In the case of "linking" payment cards to your account, choose your country, since the card is issued in a specific payment system, to which the App Store services are automatically configured)
Then we read and accept the traditional user agreements.
We drive in the necessary personal data: e-mail, a complex password consisting of at least eight characters, containing numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and there should not be three identical characters in a row. It cannot coincide with the Apple ID itself.
When entering age data, keep in mind that the new user must be at least 13 years old, otherwise registration will not be available. And when you download content on iTunes, an 18+ age restriction will apply for you.
Fill in the answers to the security questions (be sure to write them down somewhere so you don't forget).
After that, depending on which method you have chosen, a window will appear for entering payment information with three payment methods (in the first case), or with the line "No" under them (in the second). Enter all the required details.
Click the Next button when finished. That's it, you managed to get your
account.
After that, be sure to go to the mailbox you specified during registration. Check if there is an inbox from Apple asking if you need to verify your Apple ID, and follow the link you received. Ready!
2. You can create an account both through iTunes, and also - with or without card information.
Enter the program menu and select the tab on the right - iTunes Store. (If you do not want to add a card, choose any free application of the store for downloading, and go to the menu through it)
After confirming the terms of use, you will need to enter your registration data.
Again, honestly enter all personal information about yourself so that you can later be able to restore everything if necessary. Write down the answers to the security questions, so as not to rack your brains over them in any unforeseen situation.
The next window will ask you to enter the payment data for the cards.
If you entered through the free application, the line with the payment method will look like this:
We choose "No." Finish the account registration by clicking on the button - below, on the right - Create Apple ID.
Now wait for the service letter to the mailbox, and to activate your account, follow the link. It happens that a message does not arrive at the main mailbox for a long time or does not arrive at all. In such cases, you need to view the inboxes in the additional mailbox, sometimes for some reason a confirmation letter is sent to it. This often happens if a mistake was made when entering the main address. It is also worth checking your spam folders and trash can. some mail services do not correctly identify them.
As you can see, creating an Apple ID will not take much of your time, and even an inexperienced user will be able to master it. After that, a wide variety of content will become available to you - from a rich application store, which few competitors can boast of. Many programs in it are free, or are purely symbolic. You can download them directly to your iPhone - via iCloud, or download them via your computer - using iTunes.
You also get access to a free space in the iCloud cloud storage, from which you can take the necessary information at any time, or make an up-to-date copy of the data. Moreover, copies in iCloud are created automatically (if, of course, you activate this function).
Now you can activate the unprecedented Find iPhone security feature, which makes the gadget unattractive to the kidnapper. turns it into a "brick", it is only necessary to remotely initiate this mode. It can be used to block and erase personal photos on the device so that they do not fall into the hands of a criminal.
For this, the iPhone needs this kind of digital signature of the owner - Apple ID. You ensure for yourself both the full use of the gadget and its reliable protection!
Congratulations! Now you have joined the ranks of the multimillion-dollar army of Apple device owners. It is safe to say that with some knowledge (you can get it) you will be able to appreciate the enormous potential of your new iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. We recommend that you start getting to know the device by registering an account Apple ID.

Apple ID or Apple account is an authentication system for users of Apple products. It was created so that the owner of a tablet or phone with an apple on the back of the device can access company resources. For example, use the free iWork suite of apps, or go to the online iTunes Store to purchase audio, video, games, or a paid app from the App Store.
In addition, all information about the user and his personal settings are stored in the Apple id account. That is, if an account is used to log into an Apple device, then the settings saved in the account will be automatically installed on this device. Apple ID also speeds up the boot process for OS X and iOS, again due to the fact that all personal data, including contacts and Apple Mail settings, will be entered automatically.
Basically, the registration process with Apple's authentication system is simple. The problem arises when it comes to entering a bank card number. Some users do not want to trust such confidential information, while others (usually teenagers) simply do not have this card.
