Sergey Demidov,

Long gone are the days when electronic devices could be used without being tied to any service. It doesn’t matter whether you bought a smartphone, tablet or e-reader - please register it with the manufacturer, agree to all the terms and conditions and check the license agreement. On the other hand, the procedure is not burdensome and promises a lot of advantages, because a tablet computer or other fashionable gadget, deprived of access to applications and services, becomes virtually useless. To prevent this from happening, you need to create an account. Today we'll talk about the fascinating world of Apple products, the cornerstone of which is the Apple ID. It can only be used to treat illnesses, so let's go.


In my opinion, it is most convenient to register an Apple ID from a computer. At least, filling out a rather large form with meaningful tooltips on a large display is much less labor-intensive, but it’s up to you.


Let's get started, but first, an important disclaimer. To create an Apple ID, you do not need to create an email address in the icloud.com domain. The identifier can be any valid email address that has not previously been used as an Apple ID. Of course, you must have full access to this mail, and it is advisable not to share it with anyone else.



The password requirements for creating an Apple ID are quite strict, and instead of listing all the rules, I'll just give you a screenshot. I advise you to use the generator, which is usually included in any password manager - compliance with numerous points will be ensured.



Don't forget to repeat the input and make sure that the data matches; for some reason, password matching validation without reloading the page in the web interface does not work. And also Apple, you know.



But there are three secret questions, and the answers to them must be remembered like your mother’s maiden name. Sometimes a company's security policy comes to mind at the most inopportune moment, and instead of downloading a free game at the next sale, you may be subject to interrogation, so write down your questions and answers in a safe place.



There is a caveat number two associated with the region. In principle, no one forbids changing the country by getting, say, an American account. The advantages are obvious - the presence of unique applications and content that are not available in the Russian segment of the App Store, and new releases appear in the overseas store a little faster. However, if you understand life and are not in a hurry, do not touch anything - the Apple ID will be registered as Russian. This is quite enough to use most of the Apple company’s services.


Please note that when purchasing a new gadget with a design from Cupertino, you can create an ID directly from the device, but it will be much easier to enter your email and password by creating an Apple ID in advance. After all, you need it to make purchases in the Apple online store, and buying the company’s products in other places, by and large, makes no sense.



Once you have an Apple ID, verify it by clicking on the link in the automatically sent email. But don’t relax - you have to enter your account data into the system settings of your newly purchased device, and that’s not all. You need to sign in to the App Store separately (as well as iCloud services), so it's worth doing this right now.



We open the application store, scroll the main screen to the very end and see the “Login” button with the inscription in a characteristic thin font. As you can see, you can create an Apple ID from here, but messing around with coming up with a password on a touch device is a no-brainer.



We provide your credentials and understand that an email address and password are not enough to make purchases. You need a VISA, MasterCard or AMEX bank card. Please note that VISA Electron and Maestro level cards are not suitable, as they cannot be used for online payments. By and large, any plastic card no worse than VISA Classic/MC Standard should be accepted, but just in case, check the possibility of making payments via the Internet using card details from the bank that issued it for you.



If for some reason you can’t get a card or you don’t want to link what you have for fear of your account being “hijacked,” there is a way out. Its name is a virtual bank card. As a rule, the search begins and ends with solutions from QIWI, and many letters are devoted to ways to obtain such a means of payment on the Internet.



In short, we open a QIWI Wallet, top up our account in any terminal and order card details. A moment later we receive an SMS with the details: number, expiration date and three-digit security code. We indicate the data in the appropriate fields and supplement the information with the billing address. As a rule, it coincides with the address of actual residence you specified when applying for a card, but those who are especially suspicious can write any valid information, and the receipts will still arrive by mail.



Funds are not debited immediately after purchase, so don’t be surprised if the notification arrives after a few days, and the letter contains a couple of items. Is not Google Play, after all, to send a separate email for each digital purchase.


Having understood the intricacies of creating an account and attaching a verified card for debiting money, we are ready to fill out the “Purchases” section. But what if you don’t have a phone at hand, but you really want to buy an application at a discount?



In such a case, iTunes will come in handy. After all, this is not only an obscure player and a fancy cataloger of your media files, but also a universal portal for accessing all the content offered to owners of Apple products.


Apps are just the tip of the iceberg, because recently we can buy music and movies, pre-order interesting releases and spend money in other ways. There is only one thing to keep in mind - the “15 minute” rule, which allows you to return money for a recent purchase in one click, is not provided here.



The end user agreement, which no one ever reads, states in one of its endless clauses that all transactions are final and monies are non-refundable. However, if, in correspondence with polite Apple support staff, you manage to convince the other party that it was your little child who accidentally pressed the button and purchased a video editing utility for 799 rubles while the authorization session after the previous purchase was active, the money will be silently returned.


Another thing is that it has recently become impossible to update or reinstall the application, the costs of which were reimbursed.



The same goes for other types of content. However, the company is making every effort to keep the percentage of accidental clicks to a minimum. Despite the fact that your account is thoroughly loaded into the settings of any Apple gadget, the system will again and again ask for your Apple ID password when you click the “Buy” button, and often also require confirmation of your intentions.


The most convenient way to view the results of a raid on the iTunes/App Store is through the “Purchases” section. If you purchase an application from a computer and your mobile device has access to the Internet, the item will immediately begin downloading where it is needed. In addition, applications are always available for downloading directly to the computer's memory for subsequent synchronization via iTunes.



It’s a little frustrating that in the “Purchases” view, by and large, everything is lumped together - both what you got for free and commercial versions of the software. Sorting is provided only by compatibility with tablets or smartphones.


Frankly speaking, the interface of the Apple app store cannot be called ideal at all, just look at the localization of search parameters on . We dare to hope that order will be restored there by iOS 8, but for now we’ll tell you about the most pleasant process that can force you to open the iTunes media harvester once again.



The fact is that both developers and numerous gadget-oriented publications regularly organize competitions with the distribution of codes, when entered you can get paid content without spending a penny. Just find the inconspicuous “Enter code” inscription on the iTunes main page and follow the link.


If the sequence of symbols is still relevant, a new element will be added to your library, and your mood will probably improve.



Don't forget to change your password from time to time and keep your payment information up to date (you can also check it through iTunes). And in order to avoid unnecessary expenses, subscribe to the blog, they won’t give bad advice there.

Every user knows that any content on an Apple device can be downloaded through a special App Store application that is preinstalled on the device. is an integral part of any Apple device, so even if you really want to, the application cannot be deleted. But what to do if there is really a need to remove it out of sight? Just because you can't delete it doesn't mean it can't be removed. disable!
