Creating an Apple ID

Is it possible to go to an Apple store, create an account on their stuff, and use that account on my phone?

you can create an apple ID from your iPhone, unless you have created already 5 apple ID with it (which is rare to do):
Set up an Apple ID in iTunes - Apple Support
iOS devices in Apple Store will have a special version of iOS, so probably not, but you can always try.

  • HT204053 I have one apple ID that my entire family has been using.  How do I create new apple ID's for each of us and move the appropriate content to each new ID from the original apple ID now that we all have our own devices?

    I have been using one apple ID for 4 family members.  Up until now it hasn't been a problem but now that we all have our own devices how do I create new apple ID's for each of us and them move the approprioate things from the original apple ID account to the new ones for each of us?

    Thanks Csound1, wish I have seperated everything from the beginning but when your kids are little and start buying music etc it just didn't seem like an issue.
    That has a familiar ring to it

  • My family has multiple iOS devices, all with 1 Apple ID. With iCloud coming, should I create separate Apple IDs for each member of my family?

    Hello,
    Between my family, we have 2 iPhones, multiple computers, iPads, and an Apple TV ALL tied in to the same Apple ID (the one I created when I got my first device). With iCloud coming, I wanted to know if I need to create separate Apple IDs for each family member (for emails, contacts, calendars, etc.). For instance, I would like to share certain contacts and a calendar with only my wife, all media between all family members, and have home sharing so that I can play/stream content on my Apple TV. Will there be a way to have multiple and distinct me.com accounts and yet share the same Apple ID?
    Apologies for being verbose — just wanted to give ample info/background.
    Thanks,
    Jay.

    I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
    Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
    While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
    Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
    Apologies for the lengthy response..

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

    I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
    It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
    Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
    Thanks!

    You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    is also info about apple ID's.
    You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

  • My husband and I share his apple ID on our iphone5s.  I created own Apple ID.  How can I put it on my phone for own iCloud and keep joint itunes?

    My husband and I presently share his Apple ID on our respective 5c iPhones.  I want my own iCloud account.  I created an Apple ID for myself. 
    1} how do I change from his apple ID in my phone
    2) how do I continue to use the joint iTunes account under his name
    3) see below -  how do I switch the iTunes account to my apple ID
    Also, under a totally different subject.  My husbands iPhone was just stolen while he was doing volunteer disaster work in the Philippines.  Since he did not have internet access I was not able to wipe out his phone on Find My iPhone until about 8 hours after it was stolen.  After he found a way to call me back in the states,  I wiped out all his data using FInd My iphone, notified Verizon and they suspended service. 
    Because the nonplan iPhones are so expensive ($600 +) I think he will buy an Android when he returns.  Is there any way to transfer what is on our iTunes account to his Android? 
    The Verizon service person told me that whoever stole it will not be able to use the phone as it has been reported stolen.  I can not imagine that is correct as there seems to be a thriving secondary market online. Is that correct?  I am concerned that some super technical person will be able to retrieve data that was purged via Find My iPhone....   Is there anything else I should do? 

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.

    Welcome to the community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
    If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

  • The company I work for has given me an iPhone, but I haven't been able to download any apps. I've created an apple account, it claimed that it had been verified, but everytime I go to download something, it verifies again and claims there's an error.

    The company I work for has given me an iPhone, but I haven't been able to download any apps. I've created an apple ID account, it claimed that it had been verified, but everytime I go to download something, it verifies again and claims there's an error. I've tried this now with 3 different emails, and the message reads: go to the iTunes support page. I've emailed Apple, and they were extremely unhelpful. I was given the most vague responses by Bidyut from the iTunes Store Customer service team. I would just like to be able to use this phone since I'm paying for it.

    It might be helpful if you told us exactly what the error was... If you don't give us specifics, the best you're going to get is vague responses.

    How are you verifying it?  Are you responding to the email that is sent?  If not, do so.
    If so, then try changing your password.

  • I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

    Question:-
    I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
    Answer:-
    For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
    Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here  and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
    (I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
    NOTES:-
    The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
    This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
    The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
    MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
    @mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
    The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

    Question:-
    So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name.  It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message.  What do I do next ?
    Answer:-
    Open iChat
    Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
    Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
    If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
    Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat  (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
    If you have a Blue Globe name  (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
    Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
    Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
    Then change the password in iChat as details above.
    Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
    Open iChat if not launched.
    Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Click the Add ( + )  Button at the bottom of the list.
    Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
    Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
    Add in the password.  (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
    Click Done.
    The Buddy List should open (New Window)
    The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
    You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
    You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.
