So, you are the proud owner of an iPhone. You already know that all interesting content, such as music, movies, books, programs, games and other useful applications, you can easily. Easy? In general, yes. But for this you need to create your account. And right now we will analyze what these accounts are, how to create, change and find them “for free”.
Registration in Appstore - for what and for whom?
In fact, Apple ID is a single account for all applications of the Apple family, which allows you to buy applications in Appstore without additional registrations, save programs of interest, buy music and video content in the iTunes application, download and read a book in the iBook application, synchronize mail and contacts. , notes and more in the iCloud cloud service, chat via the iChat application, etc.
Well, and also, a small but very important detail of this huge mechanism - if you lose your iPhone, having an account on your phone will help you find it.
So, as you yourself probably already understood, it is imperative to register your account, and the sooner the better, because without an account from the iPhone, of course, it is possible to live, but not interesting and not practical.
How to register on the App Store
In order to create an App Store account, you need your phone to be connected to the Internet in any way convenient for you.
Procedure:
- It is imperative that the password contains numbers.
- The password must contain both lowercase (small) letters and CAPITAL (large) letters.
- Do not repeat the same symbol three times in a row.
- Space cannot be used.
Secret question(it is also called a "security question") is used only if the password has been hopelessly forgotten, or you just need to change the password. In any case, if you forget it, it will come in handy.
- Move on. And then we have the date of birth and subscription to newsletters. If you do not want to receive news, do not subscribe.

How to change App Store account
The need to change your account may arise if you bought an iPhone from your hands (may the gods of the radio markets be indulgent to you!), And you are not at all interested in the account in the App store of the previous owner.
This can be done in several ways:
- using iTunes;
- or directly through the iPhone itself.
It is important to note that changing the account (Apple ID) is possible only if a mailbox located on the servers mail.ru, yandex, etc. was registered as a login. If your email ends with @ icloud.com, @ maс.com or @ me.сom, then, unfortunately, you cannot change your account.
In order to change your account using a computer or tablet, just go to the Apple ID management page, log in using your existing account and password.
Also, sometimes you may need to change the account in the app store not completely, but change only the country of registration. This question becomes in demand if you need to download any application you are interested in, designed and developed for residents of another country. also available on the same page.
What is a free shared App Store account, what are its benefits, and where to find it
So, you have already created your personal App Store account, let's also talk about such a phenomenon as a general account.
Shared accountAppstore will be a real godsend for those who do not want to pay for paid applications (which is certainly a rarity J).
How it works? For example, you create an account and buy paid applications, and then sell access to your account to other users for symbolic money. In this case, the more and more diverse the selection of applications offered in the seller's account, the more there will be those who want to purchase registration for it.
This method is mutually beneficial for both parties, is fair and works on all Apple devices. So there is nothing to worry about.
If you've decided to purchase shared App Store accounts, here's one piece of advice: The most important thing is to find a trustworthy resource and check the seller to avoid possible trouble.
You can find a shared account through the Vkontakte application by entering in the search “ @ icloud.com"Or" shared appstore account ". The search results will be posts with appstore accounts. Choose fresh posts and carefully read the conditions for purchasing an account.
The resulting Appstore account will allow you to purchase the entire range of applications purchased in this account. You just need to select the application of interest and install it on your device. As they say, for everyone - according to his needs.
The first "Shared Accounts" appeared with the release iOS 5, but at that time this phenomenon was not widespread, because only a few knew about it. Then the popularity of such accounts began to increase, and the number of services that offered such accounts increased significantly.
Using the "Shared Account" made it possible to purchase Apple ID with already purchased programs, games, music and films, and then it is completely legal without jailbreak to put all this content on your iPhone and iPad... Of course, the use of such a scheme violated the license agreement. iTunes, but the users of this method did not care much about this.
Having bought a "Shared Account" once for a small amount, you can get access to a huge number of applications and games from someone else's Apple ID, however, this method has a number of disadvantages. Around April last year Apple blocked hundreds of such accounts, so buyers actually wasted money.
Of course, no one will return money for a blocked account, so you will have to buy access to a new account with a new one or be left with nothing. If you download the application from some Apple ID, then its further updating is possible only from the same "apple" account, so the user is tied to the service almost forever.
Passwords in such accounts are changed every day, and sometimes several times per hour, so you will have to find out the password every time before entering your account. Recently, the account began to be blocked very often, and cases of fraud have also become more frequent, so it is impossible to say for sure how long one such will work. Apple ID.
The main danger when using someone else's Apple ID is the service iCloud through which your device can be blocked. Of course, an experienced user is unlikely to be persuaded to iCloud and include paragraph Find iPhone, but there are very few such people and scammers take advantage of it. By blocking the device through the service Find iPhone it will be possible to recover it only after learning the new password from Apple ID, which you will be offered to buy for a large amount.
Do not fall for the tricks of scammers and do not use the "Shared Account", because it is much more efficient to honestly buy applications and games on Apple ID, which will remain with you forever and no one will block or steal it.
Until December 22, inclusive, everyone has the opportunity to Xiaomi Mi Band 4, spending only 1 minute of their personal time on it.

Hey! The headline is a bit epic (I tried my best), but overall, it really fully captures the essence of this article. After all, what is our task? Find out in detail what this thing is - a general App Store account. Am I planning to deceive you? Of course not - I'll tell you everything "as it is" and without any embellishment. Only true, only hardcore :)
Okay, enough joke, but beating around the bush. The topic is quite serious (). And in some cases, it is also dangerous for your device, wallet and nervous system. Yes, yes, yes, with this shared App Store account you need to be very careful, troubles can lie in wait for us at every step ...
However, let's talk about everything in order. Let's go!
What is a shared App Store account?
A general App Store account is a regular Apple ID account, the owner of which has bought a large number of games, programs, applications and now sells (gives away for free) information about it (login and password) to other users.
What is the trick?
The fact is that all purchased programs are "tied" to the account, and not to the iPhone or iPad.
That is, you bought, for example, some expensive game. And your friend also really wants to play it, but he has no money. You can give him your username and password from Apple ID (think three times about the consequences of such a decision!), He will enter it on his iPhone, go to the "Purchases" section of the application store and download this game absolutely free.
Immediately a very important note! Login and password from the shared account can be entered only in "Settings - App Store and iTunes Store". In no case should you change iCloud! Why? Details are below in the text.
Actually, the general App Store accounts function in exactly the same way (as in the example with the friend). Only games, applications and programs are much more there.
What types of shared accounts are there?
It is clear that for each of these accounts there is a certain set of content (what was bought by the owner will be available to you). There are various thematic collections - magazines, programs, races, shooters, etc. But in general, general App Store accounts are divided into two types:
- Free.
- Paid.
Let's start with the latter, since everything is more or less simple with them.
Paid account - buy access and enjoy
And indeed, there is nothing illogical in such a phenomenon. The account owner buys content from the App Store, spends his money and makes money on those who want to get everything, at once and for a small price. Typically, you can purchase access for $ 10-20 - which is the average cost of a couple of good games.
In the end, everyone is happy. The owner comes out "in plus" due to the large number of users, and users get a lot of interesting things for a minimum amount.
What is a free shared App Store account and why do I need one?
I’ll say right away - I don’t believe in such human altruism. The long-standing and free shared App Store account with a bunch of paid games and programs is something from the series "you have to buy a car, get a taxi and drive everyone absolutely free." No, I do not exclude that there are such people, but are there many of them?
But really, what can motivate a person to create, maintain and distribute an App Store account for free? Here are some reasons:
- Recruit a specific user base and then, when everyone knows it, make the account paid.
- Thus, promote a site, group or some kind of application. Say, we have a free account - come in and subscribe.
- Just "practice" and hone some of the interaction points on a free account, and then create a new, good and paid one.
- Cheating to get money.
And, unfortunately, fraud is very widespread ...
"Divorce" and other hazards during use
Crooks are everywhere. If you want to use a shared App Store account, then here are two main problems you can run into:
- Not the worst thing is to pay for access and not get it. Well, or the list of games and applications will not be the same as the seller assures.
- The worst thing is that your iPhone or iPad will be locked.
"Defeating" both problems is easy.
In the first case, read the reviews before buying. Since the sale most often goes through social networks, do not hesitate to ask the opinion of people who have already bought.
In the second case, you need to follow one simple rule.
Never. Never. Never ever. Even for a few seconds, do not enter the resulting bundle (login and password) from the general account in the iCloud section of the iPhone settings. Otherwise, your device may be blocked using the Find iPhone service. ...
In principle, respectable services that provide access to shared App Store accounts warn about this themselves, and even more than once.
Conclusions and is it worth using?
As usual, I will not impose my opinion on you, but will only tell you about the pros and cons of such an event.
- Lots of content for little money.
This is where the positive moments end :)
- Not all the games and applications that you want to see may be in the general account.
- Sometimes, access is provided only for a while - and then you have to pay again (some kind of subscription fee :)).
- Everything can end at any moment - for example, if the owner changes the password.
- If access to your account is closed, then you will not be able to update previously downloaded games and applications!
- The likelihood of fraud should not be ruled out - be sure to read the reviews and be as careful as possible!
As you can see, not everything is so simple and there are certain risks. Although, it is worth noting that in some cases and with a competent approach, a certain benefit can still be achieved. How to proceed in the end? It's up to you to decide!
