In iTunes you can purchase and enjoy the latest in world stage music and cinema. This is a real paradise for music lovers and movie lovers. But in order to access the content, you need to create an account with Apple. The iTunes Store won't work unless you register.

An Apple ID is also required to use the Cloud service, iMessage, and the application store. The account must be the same for all your Apple gadgets.

In this article, you will learn how to create an iTunes account and much more.

How to create an Apple account

1. First, launch the application store on your iPad or iPhone.
2. Then, in the search, find any free program to download it later. If you plan to download only free apps, you will not need to link the card to your account, but add it if necessary.

How does the Apple ID registration process work? There will be a download icon next to the selected program. Click on it to start downloading.

A window will pop up reminding you that you need to create an ID number.

• Select your country of residence, then click “Next”.
• You agree that you will be bound by all terms and conditions set forth by Apple Corporation.
• Enter your email address, which you use regularly, because in the future your email will be your login.
• Come up with a complex secret code, then click on “Next”. Ideally, the cipher should consist of both letters and numbers. The total number of characters is from eight.
• Be sure to configure your security settings. Select three security questions from the list and answer them. Don't give confusing answers because if you forget your master password, you can use the answers to these questions to recover your account. The window for an additional email box can be left empty.
• Click on “Done” and you will be redirected to further actions.
• When filling out payment information, click “No” if you do not want to link the card to your account at the moment. This step can be changed in the settings later.
• Go to your mailbox. You should receive an email from Apple to confirm your registration. Confirm your ID (login like your email account). And then enter the secret code.

If suddenly the message is not in your inbox, check your spam.

Why is the App Store in English on iPhone?

How to change Apple id on iPhone in the App Store

As mentioned earlier, when registering an Apple ID account, the user was required to select a country or region of residence. At the same time, the system does not ask for the language itself and installs the one that is generally accepted in a particular country.

Important! If you indicate your region of residence in Russia during registration, then no problems with the language should arise, and all personalization will be in your native language.

But users from neighboring countries make mistakes when choosing a country, and from time to time the system forces English on them. The problem is also relevant for Russian users who buy Apple equipment not from official retailers in the Russian Federation, but order from online stores from abroad. In this case, gadgets also arrive non-Russianized.

• Change password. The company recommends periodically changing your password to keep your device as secure as possible.

Why change your country or region in the App Store

• you can get rid of some updates that are forcibly imposed by developers on their clients;
• if the user does not speak the language of the country where he lives, this can be compensated by choosing a suitable region;
• Changing regions can be an excellent tool for learning a foreign language.

For your information! Some users who frequently fly between countries, if they have the appropriate credit cards, change accounts while in the relevant country.
