How to Create an Apple I.D. for iTunes

Users of Apple-branded electronics such as iPods and MacBooks will eventually find a need to create an Apple ID. This is a unique username that allows you to sign into Apple websites and programs that are linked to your specific electronics and account information. With the Apple ID you will be able to make purchases through iTunes, change personal preferences and even get technical support for your purchased Apple items.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Internet connection

Instructions

1. In your computer's Internet browser navigate to the website "http://myinfo.apple.com."

2. In the middle of the page, beneath two drop-down boxes, you will see a heading that reads "Don't have an Apple ID? Click here to create one." Click that link to begin the ID signup process.

3. You will be prompted to create a username for your ID. This is a unique name, similar to when you picked an email address, and should be something that you can remember easily. Additionally it cannot be taken by another user already. If it is you will be asked to pick a different username. You will also be asked to create a password that you'll use to sign into the account.

4. Fill out the information required in the remaining boxes. This will include some identifying information such as your name and address. Once you have provided all the necessary info, click the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page to complete the process.

5. You will be sent an email that confirms the creation of your ID. Once this email arrives, your ID is officially ready for use. You can use the username and password combination you just created to sign into the iTunes store and various other Apple online resources.
