There was a problem when creating the Apple ID. "There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server." We fix it

Have a nice time! As I have repeatedly noted, every user of devices from the company from Cupertino must have an Apple ID account. What is there to do - I simply have to! However, sometimes even during registration there are various errors, which prevent the creation of this identifier. What to do? Don’t register anything and use the device “as is,” thereby depriving yourself of the pleasure of using the gadget to its fullest?

The correct answer is no, no and no again. Problems must be dealt with, and today’s article is dedicated to why an Apple ID may not be created and, most importantly, what to do in this case. Are you ready?

Let's go, well! :)

The most common mistakes when creating an Apple ID

In fact, there are not many of them, because the process of registering an ID is quite simple, but the most common are these:

As you can see, almost all errors are associated with ordinary inattention. Although there is one more and it is worth talking about in more detail.

This iPhone has a free account limit enabled.

A wonderful message that can be encountered already at the stage of account activation. That is, the creation is successful, but upon entry it still fails. Most often, a similar inscription can be seen if someone used the device before you ().

Why is this even happening? Because the Apple company has set a limit on the number of accounts that can be activated from one iOS device. Why she did this is unclear, but the fact remains that more than three are impossible.

But there is a way out and here’s what needs to be done:

1. If you are using a computer with an operating system Mac system, then this can be corrected in iCloud settings on the PC itself. Enter your account details - it is successfully activated, now you can use it on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Look for another iOS device. When you find it, log out of your account (settings - iTunes Store, App Store- exit). Enter your data, the Apple ID will be activated and you can use it on the gadget where you previously “reached the limit on the number of free accounts.”

Perhaps these are the main points that may interfere with the creation of an Apple ID. And as a rule, if you take them into account, then everything will go “without a hitch” and will be registered without failures. However, if even after reading you still can’t do this, then write in the comments and we’ll figure it out!

Getting an Apple account is the first task of any owner of an iOS device. Moreover, it is better to do this immediately after purchasing it. Without ID numbers You won’t be able to use the functionality of your iPhone or iPad 100%. If you want to purchase software in AppStore or reflash the gadget - all these tasks will require ID confirmation. This number will allow you to activate the search option, and if you lose your device, you can easily find it. The same function will help you put a block on your gadget if it is stolen.

But the most attractive thing about having an ID is the ability to download hundreds of applications from the Apple store for free. Anyone here will find software to suit their taste. Programs are presented in a wide variety of categories - for work, entertainment, leisure...

In the “cloud” you will have access to 5 GB of space. All copies of your device data will be stored here. And if you set up automatic backup, they will be generated daily.

As a rule, an account is created during the very first launch of the iOS device. But if you prefer the representative of the sixth line to the old iPhone model, tie it to the current number.

To begin registration, create a new e-mail intended for this purpose. All data must be entered correctly, so that in case of problems, when you need to put a block on the gadget or remove it, you can easily remember everything.

Next, let's talk about the different options for creating an account. This operation is performed both from a PC/laptop through a well-known iTunes app, and through the device itself. Both methods do not require much effort and time. Read on for the procedure for each of them.

Here it is possible to undergo regular registration with or without indicating the bank account number. Specifying payment information is necessary for those who plan to purchase many different products in the AppStore. If you don’t need this, feel free to choose the second path.

In any case, you will have to go through the following steps to create an account:

• In a normal situation with a card, go to the iTunes Store section and select the option to create a new ID. If for some reason you categorically do not want to indicate the card number, go to the AppStore and find any freely accessible software there. Download and install it on your iPhone. A window will immediately pop up asking you to log in using your current account or creating a new one. Choose the latter.
• The subsequent steps will be the same, regardless of your attitude towards using the card. You will need to select your country of residence. Here it is recommended to choose Russia, even if you are in the CIS. The fact is that for the Russian-speaking public the list of applications is more diverse.
• Read and accept the license agreements.
• Enter the requested email details, a complex combination of password characters, remember. That it cannot be identical to the login, that is, the ID itself.
• When entering age information, remember that there is an age limit. Thus, the company does not allow persons under 13 years of age to register. Downloading software is possible from the age of 18.
• Provide answers to the questions and be sure to write them down on paper so you can recall them if necessary.
• A window will pop up for you to enter payment information or with the line “No”, depending on the previously selected method. Write everything you need.
• Click on the “Next” element, this step will complete the operation. All that remains is to go to the mailbox. There should be a message from apple asking you to confirm your ID. It will also contain a link that you need to follow.

Using iTunes to Create an ID

As in the previous method, there are 2 options here - work with or without a bank card. Choose what you need most. And the algorithm will be as follows:

• Go to the iTunes menu, and then to the store. But this is only after providing a card number. If without this, choose any free software for downloading and will proceed to the menu through it.
• From this step everything is normal for both methods. We get to the login field through the current or new account - your choice. We focus on creating a new ID number.
• We provide real information about ourselves. If possible, we write down the answers and store them in a safe place.
• We enter the data on the bank card, that is, payment details. If you logged in using free software, select “No”.
• Find the button for creating an ID number at the bottom and click on it.
• We are waiting for a message from the Apple company to our e-mail and follow the link. Keep in mind that it does not always arrive at lightning speed; sometimes you need to wait 1-2 minutes. In situations like these, it's a good idea to check the spare box. If you incorrectly specified at least one character in the main, then the message will arrive there. Double-check your spam folders and trash folder. Postal providers do not always identify them correctly.

Advantages of having an ID number

As you have already understood, creating an ID is a simple and time-consuming operation. But the result will be excellent. It will be expressed in such advantages as:

Thus, the ID number is our “passport” in eco Apple system. By purchasing it, we can enjoy all the benefits available there and at the same time provide effective protection your device.

How to remove Apple ID: choosing the best way

There are two options for how to do this:

• Change your account information on the account management page.
• Write to support on the company’s online resource.

The second method is not particularly difficult - you just need to fill out the form on the website. And let's talk about the second in more detail. To implement it, we need a PC/laptop running any operating system (or any iOS-device) and stable access to the network.

Changing registration data is the easiest way to delete an ID. Moreover, you can change the information in any order. For example, this could be an address or any other data. The account is saved.

On a PC, you need to launch iTunes, go to the software store and click on the login button.

Go to its settings and enter necessary changes personal data, we save it.

Keep in mind that connecting an invalid e-mail to your account will not work, since to confirm the changes you need to follow the link that should be sent to your e-mail.

After completing these steps, your Apple ID account will be deleted. Is it possible to delete an ID on an iPhone 5 or another device in another way? Of course, this was also mentioned above. If it’s easier for you, contact support directly.

Creation options

An account can be created either from the device itself - through the built-in service, or using a computer using the original iTunes application. There is nothing complicated in either option. The main thing is to have access to sustainable internet, and a little time for the routine registration procedure.

1. In order to create an account directly from the device, you can use one of two ways:
in the first case - you go through standard registration, indicating the data payment cards,
in the second, you can do without them.
Card data is entered by those who want to purchase software in the App Store in the future; if you do not intend to do this, use the second method. So:

(If you “link” payment cards to your account, choose your country, since the card is issued in a certain payment system, to which App Store services are automatically configured)

Then we read and accept the traditional user agreements.

We enter the necessary personal data: e-mail, complex password, consisting of at least eight characters, containing numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and there should not be three identical characters in a row. It cannot match the Apple ID itself.
When entering age information, keep in mind that the new user must be at least 13 years old, otherwise registration will not be available. And when downloading content in iTunes, you will be subject to age restrictions marked 18+.
Enter your answers to the safety questions (be sure to write them down somewhere so you don't forget).

When finished, click Next. That's it, you managed to start your
account.

2.You can create an account through iTunes, and in the same way - with or without indicating card information.
Enter the program menu and select the tab on the right - iTunes Store. (If you don’t want to add a card, choose any free store application to download and go to the menu through it)

After confirming the terms of use, you will need to enter registration data.

Again, be sure to contribute everything honestly. personal information about yourself, so that later you can restore everything if necessary. Write down the answers to test questions, so as not to rack your brains over them in any unforeseen situation.

Select "No". Let's finish account registration, by clicking on the button - bottom, right - Create Apple ID.

It happens that a message does not arrive in the main mailbox for a long time or does not arrive at all. In such cases, you need to look at the inbox in the additional mailbox; sometimes for some reason the confirmation letter is sent to it. This often happens if an error was made when entering the main address. It's also worth checking your spam folders and trash folder, because... some postal services they are not identified correctly.

After this, a wide variety of content will become available to you - from a rich application store, which few competitors can boast of. Many of the programs in it are free or have a purely symbolic cost. You can download them directly on your iPhone - via iCloud, or download them via your computer - using iTunes.
