IPhone5 new apple id

why do i need deatil of my credit/debit card inforation to download free applications to my iPhone5 ?

If you follow the instructions on this page then you should be able to create a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 i.e. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple ID' when 'buying' it

  • HT201269 I got a replacement Iphone5 from Apple. I went home and tried to synced it with ITunes but had to register as a new device to do update then I can restore old back up, now can't back up old phone info and can't activate my Apple ID for iMessage

    I got a replacement Iphone5 from Apple. I went home and tried to synced it with ITunes but said to register as a new device to do update then I can restore old back up, now can't back up old phone info and can't activate my Apple ID for iMessage

    Can you clarify your problem? Are you having trouble restoring your new iPhone from a previous phone's backup? Or are you having trouble logging into iMessage?

  • I have a new IPad, IPhone5 and Apple TV. Neither the iPhone5 or the iPad have the link in Safari to stream to my TV. The options are there for Pictures and Music. Why not?

    I have a new iPad, iPhone5 and Apple TV. The instructions say that you can stream to your Apple TV from Music, Video or Safari App. The option button exists in Music and Video but not in Safari for either my IPhone or iPad. Why???

    You cannot stream safari to your Apple TV. The music and photo streaming is if you would like to only share photos with your family then you can share specific photos but not your iPhone screen. The same with music you may want to share the music but not mirror your iPhone screen consitantly. To show safari on your apple tv you will have to mirror your device (show everything your doing on your device on your tv). This is done by double pressing the home button and swiping from left to right. It will bring up some controls and their airplay icon. Click this button and choose your Apple TV from the list. Make sure mirroring is ON.

  • Updated new Apple Iphone5 virsion

    My problem is that I have purchased Iphone5 unlocked from apple store in UK in the month of May 2013 and at present I am in India, I have
    updated new apple Iphone virsion in recently which do not allowed to process airtel sim card, what I have to do...Jayendra Patel.

    YOU will need to contact the carrier to whom the phone is locked.  YOU will need to see IF that carrier offers unlocking and IF you qualify.  This has nothing to do with Apple or this forum.

  • Hubby and i shared an apple id until we got our new iphone5s when i set mine up with a new apple id. All my apps have synced but i can't update them or purchase anything new. It asks me for my password then doesn't do anything. Help!

    Help!

    After you have updated the apps. go to settings - itunes/app store - click on the apple id - view apple id and enter your new apple id and password.  Then check and see if you can download new ones.

    I want to use one of my icloud email addresses as a new apple ID.  It was an additional email contact address I originally set up for my child.  But now, I'd like to set her up on Family Sharing, using that email as her ID.  Obviously, when I try to use it when setting up a new apple ID, it says the email is already being used (Yes, by ME) and I need to select a different one.  Can I somehow delete that email address in order to set up a new apple ID using it?  Or is there another way to "re-use" that address for my child's new ID?

    "Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
    This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
    I noticed the following :
    If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
    Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
    There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
    Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.
    Best wishes -

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

  • How do I transfer music from my husbands apple id into my new apple id?

    HI.
    My question is:
    How do I tranfer music that I've purchased on my husbands apple account onto My new Apple id account?
    For a long time we shared the same apple id, but it caused alot of headaches with merging contacts and so on....
    So I decided to create my own apple id!
    I Synced my Macbook Pro, Iphone5 and Ipad to MY new apple id and set up icloud as well for all 3 devices.
    The music has not yet erased...(I have no idea how I manged that!) but I'm afraid that when I make a purchase on MY new account
    and sync it to the other devices all the previously purchased music on HIS account/apple id will be deleted from MY devices.... So, I was trying to figure out if theres a way to bring those purchases into my account?
    Hope my explanation makes sense :/
    Thanks a million for your help!
    Nadia

    You don't. Items purchased with one Apple ID are not transferable, nor can IDs be merged. However, since all music in the iTunes store has been DRM-free since late 2009 you can simply add his music to your library.
    If your iPhone is synced iTunes on another computer, though, it will have to be erased to sync to a new library as iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.
    Incidentally, you've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question is not really related to. In the future you'll get much better support responses by posting to the appropriate forum.

  • How do i setup a new apple id without making it an alternative id

    I need to set up an apple id for my daughter's iphone5 however when setting it up it did it under my primary ID.  I want her to have her own completely separate from mine.  Right now she has all my contacts and info.

    You need seperate Apple IDs for iCloud. iTunes and iCloud are not the same.
    Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    On one of the devices go Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    This will seperate your Contacts and Messages. You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share apps and music.
    Go Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID > Sign Out if you whish to change that as well
    Hope that helps

  • How can I log off the old apple ID and on to the new apple ID in Settings icloud?

    I have an old apple ID that is currently signed into my new iphone5s under settings>icloud.
    My new apple ID is signed in elsewhere on the phone.
    I cannot sign out or delete the old apple ID account because I do not know the password.
    I cannot reset the password because i do not know the email where the password is being sent.
    I cannot reset the password via security questions because it is telling me the date of birth I am entering is incorrect.
    I have no idea what to do now.
    Please advise.

    f you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Lost messages on iPad 2 when creating new Apple ID on new iPhone and changed it on the iPad

    We have got a new iPhone5, and when setting it up the first time, a new Apple ID was typed in, unaware the problemes it would cause.
    We also changed the Apple ID on our iPad2, and lost all historic messages at iMessages.
    Is it possible to have it restored without a backup?
    We have tried to change back to the old Apple ID, but still have not been able to restore the messages.

    To use iCloud your iPhones and your Macs should all be signed into the same account, what are you trying to achieve.?

  • How do I create a new Apple ID for wife's new iPhone 6 Plus?

    Our family has many Apple Devices (Mac Book Air, iMac, iPhone 6, iPad 3rd Gen. iPod 5th Gen. and as of today a new iPhone 6 Plus.  All of our Devices have always been using one Apple ID.  This has created zero issues until now.  With my wife's new iPhone 6 Plus I downloaded Find Friends and also Find My iPhone.  I can't find any way to set up her iPhone 6 Plus tied only to  her email address and cell phone number.  Whenever I open Find Friends on either device and select the appropriate email address it changes the other device to that email address for Find Friends.  I am beginning to think that now with two iPhones we will need to get my wife her own Apple ID.  When I went to Create an Apple ID using her email address it won't allow it because her email address is associated as an alternate under my Apple ID.  Reading Apple Support documents it shows using a common Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases but a separate Apple ID for iCloud if desired.  Bottom Line, I think I have to Delete her email address from My Apple ID Account so that I can use that email for her new Apple ID.  When I delete her email address from My Apple ID Account isn't that going to impact our shared Apps and iTunes Purchases?

    No, she can use the existing AppleID for purchasing and use her own new AppleID for content syncing. If you wish to, you can set up Family Sharing and add her to your iCloud family. That will enable you to share certain resources such as calendars.

  • 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
