So, Apple ID is a single account for all your Apple devices. It is advisable to create an Apple ID from the very first day of purchase, as this will open access to all the company’s online services.

I have long wanted to describe this process, of course, it is described in many places, but I want to describe the Apple ID registration process and one very big pitfall that you may encounter. The thing is that Russian people are big fans of freebies, and Apple stores many paid programs and games. But there are also many free applications there.
But Apple forces you to register and indicate your bank card number so that money is debited from you if necessary. Yes - it’s convenient, but what to do if you don’t have a bank card at all or simply for some of your own (quite justified) reasons you don’t want to indicate it? There is a solution - instructions below.
1. Go to iTunes. Click on the button in the upper left corner (by default, there is Music, but it could be something else).
In the drop-down menu, select Programs.
This way you will be transferred to the App Store (store Apps le).
2. Attention! the most important and responsible step. If we want to register in the future without a card, then we do this. We find any free application. That is, where there is no price under the icon and click on it.
3. Now click on Free App and you will see a login/registration window.
Click on “Create” new Apple ID".
4. The process has begun! :) click “Continue”.
Explanation:
When you fill everything out, click the “Continue” button.
6. In the new window in the payment methods you should see the No button. If it is not there, then return to point 1 and do everything again carefully.
You can also choose VISA or MasterCard. Then iTunes will prompt you to enter the card number, expiration date and CVC code to pay for purchases. Payment using mobile phone available exclusively to Beeline subscribers.
Next, please fill in the address information carefully below. Theoretically, you can come up with information - no one forbids you, but in the future, when recovering your password or some controversial issues, you may need it. If you come up with one, write it down somewhere.
If you register a German, American or some Japanese account in iTunes, then it is better to indicate the address here, something wrong, but real. For example, for an American account I simply found the address of a store on Google.
Then you should receive a confirmation by email. By following the link from the letter, we activate our account and we can now easily log into iTunes. You see - it is not necessary to indicate the map at all. With this account we can download everything that is free in the App Store, iTunes Store or iBookStore.
1. I don't have a No button.
If you did everything correctly and especially did not skip point 2 from the instructions, and the button does not appear, check the settings of the country under which you are creating your account. Register either Russian or American accounts - verified. The iTunes version is also important. Read on the forums what kind of this moment recommended version (not to be confused with the latest and most recent). But I tested the most for instructions latest version and everything was OK.
2. My registration letter did not arrive in the mail.
In this case, try registering again for another email with another email service. There have been cases of letters arriving within a few hours. Also check your spam folder – the email may have ended up there by mistake.
3. The password does not work - I can’t find the password...
An example password is Tt123456, which is accepted during registration. Current password requirements:
4. What card is needed to link to Apple ID?
Every iPhone user needs to register an Apple ID. This is not even discussed. As a rule, you need to link a payment or credit card so that you can download applications, games, and generally work successfully with iPhone. Even iCloud won't work if you don't create your own entry. Therefore, below we will talk about how to create and use an Apple ID without a bank card.
Apple ID is a special account that will allow you to use everything iPhone capabilities and iTunes programs, use iCloud and other Apple services. When registering an Apple ID, binding occurs Email to iPhone, iPad or Mac to use media, sync apps, games and data, find your phone and more 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 hand over 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:
But there are several prerequisites when creating a new Apple ID:
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:
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 :)
Another option for activating an Apple ID without a card is to use a computer, or rather an application – iTunes:
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.
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:
After unlinking your credit card, you will also be able to download the paid applications, music and video, 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.
