How do I set up an apps account

I have had to set up a new email address to access the apps store. Need to know how to creat an account?

If you already have an iTunes account then you can update the primary email address on it to be your new email account : http://appleid.apple.com - all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloads it, so generally it's best to have just the one account.
If you want to create a new account then there are various ways of doing so : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
If you don't want to give credit card details then follow the instructions on this page for creating it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
To use that account on your iPad for new purchases, tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store if an account is currently logged in to log out of it, and then log in with your new account

  • My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones.  How can I set up a separate account for her?

    My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine.  How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

    If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases.  If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

  • How can I open an Apple App account for downloading free apps?  I will not let me open a new account without a sim card.

    I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account?  I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account.  At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one.  Do you need a sim card to download free apps?  Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account?  Any suggestions?

    I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.

    IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
    You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with.

    There is no such account. The iPod is really a one-user device
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • How do you set up an iTunes account in two countries

    I have an address that I use in two different counties. How do I set up two iTunes accounts; one for each country.

    iTunes accounts are not designed to be used in multiple countries.  It affects a few people but probably makes it simpler for Apple given the complexities of international copyright.
    You would have to set up a separate account for each country with a different AppleID.  Each account would have to have separate credit card information for a CC issued in that country, with a physical address in each country.  If you do this, remember that items purchased under one AppleID are not transferable to another.  Then too you will have issues with authorizing your computer for  downloads (a 90 day wait period for changing authorizations).  There's a host of issues with having purchases scattered between multiple accounts.
    You can change country for a particular account, again once every 90 days if I recall correctly.  However, that has its own set of issues which people have encountered when trying to do something such as update an app that is only available in the other country.
    You could likely make it work 90% but it won't be simple.
    Technically you are not supposed to use an account while out of the country. People seem to get away with it but Apple can do things to stop you.  E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • HT4436 how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 - all it has is mobile me under internet and wireless????

    help, how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 — all it has is "mobile me" under internet and wireless on my system doc????

    You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
    An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer.  This is what you see when you open iTunes.
    So, do you mean account or library?  You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved.  You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.

  • HT204053 how do I set up a sub account in iCloud?

    How do I set up a sub account in icloud?  We need three separate email addresses in this house but only have one Apple ID.  Since the apple ID is an email address, I'm sort of in a catch 22.  I can't set up individual icloud accounts because I don't have other apple ID's.  I can't get other apple ID's because you have to use one to get an icloud account... Very confusing.  Our main email address transfered seamlessly to icloud and we love it but we want to ditch our Advertisement ridden verizon email and have a separate email for my husbands business contacts and my business contacts.  Everyone says we can just sign up for other icloud accounts but... well... the whole catch 22 thing.  Someone please help, I feel like I'm chasing my tail here.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You cannot set up subaccounts, as you couldwith the family pack for MobileMe. I'm not sure why you can't create separate Apple IDs and hence iCloud accounts, it isn't good practice to share and iCloud account between different people. All you need to do, is each create your own iCloud account, choosing your old email address when you do so.

  • How do I set up a seperate account for my wife?

    We finally purchased a nice new iPhone for my wife. But she would like her own iTunes account. How do I set up a seperate account for her? She has her own laptop, with an iTunes account on it that I was using. Should I just un-install that iTunes package and have her download a new version? I'd rather have two versions so I don't lose the music on that old iTunes account. It's not huge, but would be a PITA.

    Apple ID
    Go to iTunes > Store > Sign Out (your apple id) and sign your wife apple id in.

  • How can I set up 2 email accounts in Mail

    It's me again.
    I'm trying to set up Mail 2.1.3. in 10.4.11. I have 2 email accounts. I can enter one just fine but it won't take another. When I try, it says that I "already have a POP account". How do I set up 2 email accounts? I see where I can enter the 2 email addresses by separating them by a comma. But the 2 addresses have different passwords and the password box takes only one password at a time. Any ideas?

    It's hard for me to tell by what has been written so far, but it may be referring to what you are entering for the account description. That is, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > Acct Info, for each account it has several entries: Acct Type (that you can't change), Description, email address, full name. If the first account's description is POP, then make the second account's description POP2. I use terms like, "home", "work", and "school" for my accounts' descriptions.
    If this is not what is going on, please write down every step you do, and every entry you make, as you try to configure your second email account and post it back here. Naturally, do NOT disclose your actual email address(es) or mail account login name or its password to us here.
