Creating an Apple ID on the iPad

>>>step-by-step

Creating an Apple ID on 

the iPad

You need an Apple ID (aka an iTunes

account) for many features of your iPad

and to buy things at the iTunes or App

Store.You can create a free Apple ID direct-

ly on your iPad.This is definitely a place

where you’ll want your parents’ help, since

they may be paying for the music and apps

you buy or so they can help you use your

account.When you get to the Apple ID

screen of the iPad setup process, as shown

in step 8 in the previous section, if you

don’t have an Apple ID, tap Create a Free

Apple ID and follow these steps:

1.Enter your birthday using the

spinners.

2.Enter your first name and last

name.

3.Choose what email address you

want to use for your Apple ID (use

an address you’ll have access to for

a long time). If you don’t have an

email address, or want to get a new

one, tap Get a Free iCloud Email

Address. If you do have one you

want to use, tap Use Your Current

Email Address.Then tap Next.

4.If you chose to use your current

email address, enter it here and

tap Next.

5.Choose a password that’s at least

eight letters long, with at least one

capital letter, one lowercase letter,

and one number. Enter it a second

time to make sure you know it and

then tap Next.

Getting an iCloud Email

If you don’t have an email address, or

don’t want to use your main one for

your Apple ID, you can choose to get

a free iCloud email address. To do

that, just tap that option and tap

Next. The next screen will let you

create your new me.com email

address and continue.

6.You have to enter a reminder in

case you forget your password.

Choose a question from the spin-

ner or enter one of your own in

the Question field. Choose some-

thing you’ll remember but that

even someone who knows you

won’t be able to guess.

7.Enter the answer into the Answer

field.

8.If you want Apple to send you

emails announcing new products

or sharing other news, leave the

Email Updates slider On. If not,

move the slider to Off and tap

Next. You’ll then see a screen with

Apple’s terms for having an Apple

ID. You must agree to these terms

to use your Apple ID at the iTunes

or App stores. When you do this,

your Apple ID will be created and

you’ll be ready to go
