How to register an Apple ID without linking a bank card

It is far from always that the user wants or can indicate his credit card during registration, however, if, for example, you decide to register from your device, then the screenshot above shows that it is impossible to refuse to specify the payment method.

Method 3: Registering with an Apple Device

For example, you have an iPhone, and you want to register an account without specifying the payment method from it.

How to register an account in another country

Sometimes users may find that some applications are more expensive in their native store than in the Store of another country, or are not available at all. It is in these situations that it may be necessary Apple registration ID of another country.

  1. For example, you want to register an American Apple ID. To do this, you will need to launch iTunes on your computer and, if necessary, sign out of your account. Select tab "Account" and go to point "Go out".

  2. Skip to section "Shop". Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on the flag icon in the lower right corner.

  3. The screen will display a list of countries among which we need to select United States.

  4. You will be redirected to the American store, where in the right area of ​​​​the window you will need to open the section App Store.

  5. Again, pay attention to the right area of ​​​​the window where the section is located. Top Free Apps. Among them, you will need to open any application you like.

  9. Place a check next to license agreement and click on the button "Agree".

  10. On the registration page, first of all, you will need to provide an email address. In this case, it is better not to use a mail account with Russian domain (en), and register a profile with a domain com. Optimal solution- creating a mailbox Google account. Enter a strong password twice on the line below.

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 various options creating an account. This operation is performed both from a PC / laptop through the well-known iTunes app, 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.
  • Familiarize yourself with license agreements and accept them.
  • Drive in the requested email 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:

1 Access to a variety of software and other products. Other manufacturers of mobile devices cannot boast of something similar. Moreover, most applications are distributed freely, that is, they can be downloaded without any payment. And if you decide to purchase a paid product, its cost is unlikely to exceed 7-10 dollars. Downloading can be done directly from an iPhone via the "cloud" or via a PC / laptop using iTunes. 2 many free space in iCloud storage. From here at any time you can get any file or perform a backup. It is very convenient that there is an option to create copies on the machine. If you activate it, they will be prepared daily. 3 Ability to activate the iPhone search option. This will protect the device in case of theft, as it will turn it into a useless piece of metal if the rightful owner activates this mode. The option allows you to put a block on the gadget and erase personal photos so that they do not fall into the hands of scammers.

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 stable access to the network.

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.
