How to register an Apple ID and what is it for? The first inclusion or how to activate the iPhone? How to register a new iPhone 5

Greetings, dear reader.

Recently, I have been asked more and more often about the Apple ID.

Due to the fact that Apple products in Russia are becoming more and more popular, there are more and more happy owners of Apple devices (does not matter iPhone/iPad or iPod).

Naturally, everyone needs to download various applications for their devices. This is where the problems begin, when downloading, you must specify your Apple ID, but where to get it is not said. How to register it?

There are two ways to create an Apple ID: using a personal computer with iTunes installed, and directly using your iPad/iPhone/iPod. I will consider both of these options.

Create an Apple ID via iTunes (from a computer)

1. Launch iTunes. If you do not have this program, then check out this () article, from which you will learn what iTunes is and where to get this program;

2. From the iTunes program, you need to log in to the iTunes Store, to do this, click on the "iTunes Store" button in the upper right corner or, if the button is not visible, press the key combination CTRL + SHIFT + H;

3. Click on the "Login" button. This button is located in the upper left corner of the window;

4. In the window that opens, click on the “Create Apple ID” button;

5. In the window that appears, click the “Continue” button. Check the box next to the item “I have read ...”, click the “Accept” button;

6. After you accept the terms of use, fill in all the necessary information: e-mail, Apple ID password (you need to come up with one), security question (any one can be used), date of birth, click on the “Continue” button;

7. In the next step, you need to specify your bank card number, expiration date and security code. Without a card, an account cannot be registered.

If YOU DO NOT have a card, then this is not a problem, now we will get a virtual one for you, which can also be successfully used.

How to get a virtual card

1. Go to the website of the QIWI payment system () and click on the "Register" button.

3. When you log into your account, then in the menu click on the link "Cards".

4. We go down to the very bottom of the page and click on the “Buy Visa Virtual” button;

5. Next, you need to specify your phone number (to which the card will be registered). Choose a payment method (issuing a card costs 25 rubles). Click pay. The card number, security code and expiration date will be sent to you via SMS to the phone number you specified.

You can pay for the issue of the card from your QIWI account, to do this, replenish it with the required amount, this is done in the replenishment section.

After you receive all the data about the card, we return to creating an Apple ID.

To get an ID, you only have to go through one step: enter your card details in the appropriate fields and click the “Create Apple ID” button.

Registering an Apple ID via iPad/iPhone (from your device)

So, let's move on to the process of creating an Apple ID using your device. I will show on the example of an iPad tablet computer.

1. We are looking for an application on your device with the name “App Store” and launch it;

3. Click on the "Create Apple ID" button;

4. Select a country and click on the “Next” button;

5. In the next window, we are offered to read the license agreement, read it and click "Accept";

6. In the next window, enter your email address, select three security questions, date of birth and click the “Next” button;

7. In the next window you will be prompted to enter information on your bank card, enter it. If you do NOT have a card, then above I told you how to get a virtual card.

Today we will be the first time turn on and activate our iPhone, in my case it's an iPhone 5S. I will tell you in detail how this is done, as well as point out the errors and problems that I encountered in the process of activating my iPhone.

Preparing to activate iPhone

Before we start the first inclusion, we need to prepare in advance so that the process goes smoothly and without errors.

What we need:

1. At least 20-30% charge.
2. Internet access via Wi-Fi or via PC/Laptop with latest version of iTunes and internet connected.
3. Nano sim card.

If your device is completely discharged, take USB cable and connect it to a computer or electrical network through the adapter that comes with the kit.

if you have WiFi, then check that it is available and you have Internet access.

If not, then you will need your computer or laptop, which will be connected to the Internet. You need to download and install the latest version of the application on it (your computer). iTunes from the official site, link: http://itunes.apple.com/ .

After the preparatory stages, you can start activation.

iPhone activation

We will activate the iPhone with a SIM card, and accordingly, the activation will consist of the following steps:

• Turning on
• Basic settings
• Connecting to a computer and activation
• First start

IMPORTANT! If your phone is locked, then for activation you will need a SIM card of the operator to which it is locked!

Turning on the device

In order to turn on the device, you must press and hold the button for a few seconds. "inclusions" located on the top of the device. See photo below.

If everything is done correctly, then a silver apple will appear on the iPhone screen, which means you can proceed to the next step.

iPhone basic settings

After turning on the device, you will see a welcome message in various languages ​​on the screen. Now with a slight movement of your finger, from left to right, we draw along the bottom of the screen.

Then we select the language we need, it can be any of the list.

In the next step, choose a country.

If you have Wi-Fi, then select it from the list and enter the password. For those who don't have it, you'll need to activate via iTunes on your PC.

Connecting the phone to the computer and continue activation

We will need our USB cable and computer/laptop (PC). We connect the cable to the iPhone, and then to your PC.

After that, on the screen of your phone, you should see a picture as in the photo below:

The first thing you need to do after connecting is enable or disable. They are required to use GPS, Google maps, etc. You can enable them now or later, after installation. I decided to turn them on right away.

In the next step, we select "set phone as new", since this is our first inclusion and we have nothing to restore yet.

For iPhone 5S owners, there is one item that can be done immediately or postponed until later. I decided to do it right away, if you too, then click on "Set Up Now"

Now we need to press and release the button several times (about 10-20) "home", as shown on the screen of your smartphone. If you did everything correctly, you will see a picture and a message like in my photo below.

Since we have set a fingerprint, then you need to set a password. After all, we will not always have the opportunity to remove it. For example, you can be wearing gloves or with a dirty finger you need, you never know what. Therefore, for convenience, there is a digital combination that also needs to be set and remembered.

The next and last step is "diagnostics", i.e. you need to decide whether or not to allow the phone to send data to Apple's servers. It can be either error data or something else. I decided not to do this, and accordingly I chose "Don't Send"(do not send).

After that, you will see a long-awaited greeting on your screen! This means that you have successfully installed and activated your iPhone! Congratulations!

If something didn’t work out for you, then I advise you to take a look at the problems that I had during my first launch, as well as watch the video where I explained everything in detail.

Problems when activating iPhone and their solution

I will describe the problems that I had when activating my iPhone 5S, as well as their solutions.

1. If you do not remove the factory film from the phone, then it is almost impossible to press the Home button (round, on the front, bottom of the phone). Therefore, when the phone was automatically blocked, I had to press the power button (on top of the phone).
2. Due to the lack of Wi-Fi, a computer was needed.
3. Since I had an older version of iTunes, I couldn't connect my phone to my computer. I had to first download and update it to the latest version.
4. To update iTunes, it must be closed, otherwise it will not update, but will give an update error.
5. To remove a fingerprint, you need to remove the factory film, otherwise nothing will work, since the sensor does not recognize it from under the film.

These are the problems I had at the stage of my activation and the first launch, I hope my experience will allow you to avoid them.

I also advise you to look at the Apple support page, there are already many answers to activation problems, link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424?viewlocale=ru_RU&locale=ru_RU.

iPhone Activation Tutorial Video

You can leave your questions and comments in the comments below.

Ever since the time iOS 5 activation process iPhone became extremely simple and understandable to any user of technology Apple but what if iPhone 5 your first device with a bitten apple on the end? Then you can’t do without our instructions for activating a new iPhone. If you have one of the previous iPhones running iOS 5 or higher, this guide will also help you take the first step towards using your new gadget.

After the iPhone 5 is unpacked, inserted into the application from your operator (or made by hand, according to ours), turn on the iPhone by long pressing the button on the top end and proceed directly to the activation process. All screenshots, unfortunately, are in English, but the process is similar for the Russian language, you won’t get lost.

1) First of all, we are offered to choose the country of residence and language. We choose accordingly Russia-Russian.

2) Next, we will be asked whether to enable geolocation services, they are necessary for the operation of many applications (geotags in photos, maps, navigator, and even Siri), but if you work as a spy, you can not activate them :) After iPhone 5, it will ask us to connect to wireless network (Wi-fi), Internet is required to complete the activation process and configure a number of Apple services. Accordingly, we connect if there is an active network nearby, if not, we choose to use the mobile Internet from your mobile operator.

3) Then comes the activation stage in the network of your operator, you may have to wait a bit until all the settings “arrive”. The next step is to restore from a backup, if your iPhone is not the first one. Restore options from iTunes and iCloud are available. If the iPhone 5 is your first phone from Apple, select "Set Up an New iPhone"

Note: All further steps are optional, in fact, you can already use the phone by simply skipping them, but we still strongly recommend that you complete the setup in order to experience the full power of the new iPhone 5, paired with the equally fresh and wonderful iOS 6.

4) At this step, we need to connect to a wireless network (Wi-fi) and log in with our Apple ID (a personal identifier in the Apple ecosystem, without which you will not be able to use even the 10th part of all services), or register a new one (for free), in case of his absence.

5) Next, we need to accept the agreement on "rights and obligations", click "Agree", or "Accept" in the Russian version of the interface, and activate the voice assistant - Siri. In Russian, Siri still does not understand anything, so you decide whether to turn it on or not.

6) We got to the final! At this stage, we will be asked whether to send diagnostic data to Apple and will show the coveted “Start using iPhone” button. That's it, your iPhone 5 is ready for battle :)

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. I’m slowly acquiring gadgets from Apple — I really liked their uncompromising approach to user convenience.

iTunes is installed exactly like any other application on your computer, and has support for the Russian language. In addition, you can immediately understand what exactly it will allow you to do and what opportunities it will provide:

At one of the steps, you will be prompted to check the box to accept the agreement on the use of this software. At the first launch, you will be prompted to open access for Apple to your library so that photos of artists and disc covers are uploaded to it. I don't need it, so I chose the cancel option.

After downloading and installing iTunes on your computer, it makes sense to immediately click on the button located at the top left "Login" button and register with iTunes, i.e. create a new account.

We press the button "Create an Apple ID". Continue, agree to the terms of registration.

To secure your profile, it is better to answer the questions and enter another mailbox address. If one already exists, then a new password will be sent to it in the future. Next, enter your date of birth. If you are under 18, I advise you to enter a different date, as many applications are only allowed to be downloaded by adults.

Then we click on the "Continue" button, after which you will be prompted to immediately enter your credit card details, with which you can pay for the purchase of applications in the App Store. Is it possible to create an Apple ID without a card? Of course, you can, but you have to start registration from the beginning.

To add card details, in the upper left corner of the iTunes window, click on your Apple ID and select "Account".

In the window that opens, find the item "Payment method" and click a little to the right on the link "edit".

It's simple: enter the card number, security code and other data. At the first registration, one ruble will be withdrawn from your account in order to verify its authenticity.

If you then connect to a computer iPad via USB when iTunes is turned off, this will cause it to start and it will automatically detect the gadget connected to it, and also display it in the form of such a button:

The button on the right will have an upward pointing triangle (like you might have seen on CD players, where it served to eject the media). I accidentally clicked on it at the beginning, waiting for the context menu to appear, but instead the button disappeared and my Ipad disconnected from the computer.

I had to close and reopen iTunes to reconnect with my tablet. You need to click a little to the left and then you will open all the diversity of the inner world of your gadget. On the first tab "Overview" a page opens with its name and model, as well as with all other data. Battery charge, capacity, serial number.

You can immediately update the software of your gadget (check for availability and download a new version of iOS) or restore its state to factory settings (the "Restore iPad" button), that is, erase all personal data and bring the device to the state in which you purchased (alas, this does not apply to scratches).

It turns out that from here you can manage your "apple", as well as create backups or recover from them. You can even encrypt them for greater security if the data stored on the Iphone or iPad is confidential. By default, iTunes will create an image of a tablet or phone on your computer, but you can save important data in the cloud, which Apple calls iCloud.

Create backups ( sync iphone, ipod or ipad with itunes) is very important, because if you lose data, or buy a new version of the gadget, you can download all the programs again - in this case, we will not have to look for and buy everything again.

Moreover, as shown in the screenshot (second) located just below, it will be possible to set up automatic synchronization immediately when you connect the device (via USB), and you can also set up wi-fi synchronization between your computer with iTunes and your Iphone.

All this data can be saved not only on a computer, but also in cloud storage, the so-called iCloud.

With it, you can download some data, for example, saves for games directly to your gadget without connecting to a computer via the Internet.

How to sync iPhone, iPod or iPad with iTunes?

Also at the bottom is a very convenient and interesting panel, here we can clearly understand what exactly takes up space on the internal memory and how much. You can also click the "Synchronize" button.

A what exactly will be synchronized between a computer and an iPhone, iPod or iPad? Well, this is already at the mercy of you - just go through all the other tabs of the top menu and check the boxes in the right places.

It turns out that here you can upload music, video or photos from your computer to your device and vice versa, but not only. Moreover, there is a possibility create your own music library(not from the tracks bought in the Apple store, but from your own, which live on your computer).

To do this, open the folder with your music in File Explorer (or Total Commander), and in iTunes go to the "Music" tab.

After that, select all the necessary tracks in the explorer and drag them to an empty space in the program, as shown in the screenshot.

iTunes will offer to convert some types of music files into a format convenient for this program:

Right in iTunes, you can edit this music and even listen to it. Right-click on any music file icon and select "Play" from the context menu. A player will appear on the top panel, where a bitten apple used to flaunt.

If you click on the arrow in this very player, a window will open where you can choose which music will be played for which. If you are not satisfied with these "gray notes" instead of the cover of your favorite band, then you can change it as well as the name.

To do this, right-click on the icon again and select "Details". A window will open, where you can write a title, album, etc. To change the cover, first copy the desired image and then open the "cover" tab and click paste. Beauty.

To transfer this music to your device, click on the device button (Iphone or Ipad) on the top right, and in the window that opens, go to the "Music" tab, where you can specify what exactly to copy. Well, to start synchronization, click on the button "Ready" located at the top right of the window.

If everything worked out, then instead of the player a bar will appear showing the download of music.

Great, you have music on your Iphone or iPad. A you don't want to sync movies through iTunes? The process of uploading a video to a gadget is about the same as for music, in the upper left corner we find a button and select "Movies" there. In the same way as in the case of music, drag the video files into the program and click on the "Finish" button. You can download books the same way.

iTunes and the App Store

Movies, books, music - everything is there. But what else is needed for complete happiness? Of course, access to a store with millions of applications for every taste, which can be obtained both from a gadget and from a computer using iTunes.

Let's press the button iTunes Store, which is located in the upper right corner. A store opens in front of us where you can buy movies, music and applications. We already have films with music, so we press App Store.

Large banners on top are new and popular applications. On the right, you can select a category or, dropping a little lower, some other section. If you want to have a free app, then click "Download" or "Buy" button, if it is paid. To install it, you will have to enter the password that you created earlier when creating your Apple ID.

The downloaded or purchased program will live in your Apple ID account, and you can always install it on your gadget. To do this, connect it to your computer and go to the Programs tab in iTunes. Find there visually or using the search bar the application you just downloaded and click the "Install" button opposite it.

If you need to install any other applications or games from iTunes on your Iphone or Ipad, then just click on the "Install" button opposite them. The inscription will change to "Will be installed". Then go down and click on the "Apply" button located there.

The synchronization process will begin, during which your new application will be successfully installed on your gadget.

In general, no one bothers you to connect to the Internet via WI Fi and roam the App Store directly from your apple gadget in search of the necessary software or games. However, the variety of options only adds to the convenience.

Improving the usability of iTunes and the App Store

Well, now you can use, at first glance, a very complex and fancy program, but in the end, convenient and functional. Perhaps this is all I wanted to tell you about the right hand of the owner of Apple products.

By the way, if you need to transfer pictures and videos taken on it to your computer from your Iphone or Ipad, and at the same time you have an account in Dropbox or Yandex Disk, then it will be enough to install the appropriate mobile application on your gadget and it will allow you to do this automatically .

If you are a happy owner of Apple technology, then you should definitely get acquainted with the Apple ID. Almost every self-respecting company in the IT field has a number of services that require a separate, branded account to work with. Apple does not do without a similar one, whose services are completely tied to an online account.

Apple ID - what is it?

In simple terms, an Apple ID is a single account that gives you access to Apple's online services, software, and communications technology, unlocking the full potential of Californian electronics. Before registering an account, it is worth familiarizing yourself with its capabilities. With an Apple ID, you will have access to:

• iCloud is a cloud storage where you can store documents, photos and other materials. Also, this service is used to synchronize data between applications.
• iMessage and FaceTime are technologies that provide text communication (the ability to exchange messages, images, music and files) and video communication (video chats in the manner of Skype).
• The iTunes Store is a huge collection of media content, movies, music and apps for your devices.
• Apple Music is an iTunes music library paid for in the form of a subscription (monthly payment). Money will be debited from a credit card or mobile phone balance every 30 days.
• Find my iPhone is a service for finding and blocking a lost or stolen device.
• iCloud Keychain is a mechanism for saving and syncing your passwords and credit cards.

Users often wonder how to register an Apple ID without and with a credit card. Both options can be implemented both on a mobile device (iPhone or iPad) and on a computer using iTunes.

How to register an Apple ID on an iPhone?

From the Settings menu, select Account or iCloud and click Sign In. You will be prompted to enter the details of an existing account or create a new one. As soon as you select the desired item, you will be taken to a welcome web page. The user will then be prompted to review the terms of use of the account. The next page is registration, on which you should enter the following data:

• E-Mail - you must enter the email address that will be required to confirm registration.
• Password - required to log in and protect your entry.
• Security is another point to prevent your data from being stolen. You are prompted to select three questions and enter the answers to them (make sure only you and people you trust know the answers, as answering them can give you access to your Apple ID account).
• Backup E-Mail - an optional item that can be used to restore an account when the main mailbox is unavailable.
• Date of birth is a rather important item, since only users over 13 years old can go through the registration process. There are also content restrictions if you are under 18.
• Registering an Apple ID also requires payment information. You can enter your credit card number and CVV or mobile phone bill to pay for iTunes and AppStore purchases.

The final point is to check the specified email to confirm registration.

That's it, now you are a full-fledged Apple ID user.

How to register an Apple ID without a credit card?

If you don't want to leave your payment information in iCloud and sync it online, you can create an account without entering your payment information. But it is worth considering a number of points before registering an Apple ID. Without a credit card, you won't be able to purchase iTunes content, download paid games and apps, or use Apple Music. You will still have access to iCloud, iMessage and other free services. To create such an account, skip the registration step, go to the AppStore, find any free item and try to download it. Next, you will be asked to enter all the same data, except for the appearance of a new item. On the screen for entering payment data, the item "Missing" will appear - select it and complete the registration.

Now you can use your account absolutely free.

iTunes Gift Cards

If you still decide to purchase something, you can use an iTunes gift card, which can be bought at retail stores that sell Apple products.

To activate this card, you need to open the AppStore or iTunes Store, scroll the store page to the bottom and press the Reedem button and enter the code from the card (in Russia it is indicated on the receipt).

How to remove an ID?

If at some point in time you decide to get rid of your account or no longer plan to use Apple devices, then you have two options.

Editing mail and payment information - you simply edit (replace) your data with non-existent or unnecessary ones and forget about the existence of your account.

Contacting support is the easiest way: just call the toll-free support phone and ask them to delete your account. Prepare the answers to the secret questions that were entered during registration in advance in order to complete the procedure as quickly as possible.
