Have you ever wondered how your Mac, iPhone, and all other Apple devices synchronize settings and preferences so seamlessly? You have to thank Apple ID login here, which is essentially your personal Apple account used throughout its ecosystem.

There’s a lot you can do with an Apple ID: create a new one, change your password, permanently delete the account, etc. Let’s dive into more detailed explanations of the available Apple ID actions in the comprehensive guide below.

What’s My Apple ID?

My Apple ID is an Apple account used to store your settings and preferences, and most importantly as an Apple login, letting you access services like Apple Music, App Store, iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, and many more. It’s essential for a smooth experience within the Apple ecosystem.

Even if you just own a single Apple product, you’ve likely received lots of requests from Apple, in the form of pop-ups and notifications, to create new Apple ID.

Fortunately, creating a new Apple ID is a very good idea and quite easy to do, whether through iTunes, your browser, or the App Store.

Regardless of the method you choose, you’ll be asked to provide some required information, so make sure you’re ready with:

Name
Birthday
Email (used as your Apple ID sign in)
Password
Billing address

How to create Apple ID with iTunes

Macbook

If you have a brand new iTunes, you’ll be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID right away. This prompt will also give you the option of creating a new Apple ID.

In case you’ve already used iTunes before, there are a few extra steps to creating your Apple ID:

Choose Account > Sign In from the menu bar at the top. If another account is already signed in, you need to sign them out first.
Click Create New Apple ID
Fill out the form with required information

How to create Apple ID from your browser

When you temporarily don’t have access to your computer, it’s possible to create new Apple ID from any browser as well:

Go to appleid.apple.com
Choose to Create Your Apple ID in the top-right part of the menu
Fill out all the fields on the new page

How to create Apple ID using the App Store

Another way to create new Apple ID is via the App Store on your Mac:

Click Store from the top menu bar
Choose Sign In
Select the Create Apple ID from the sign-in pop-up

Reset Apple password you forgot

There are a few reasons to change the Apple password: for example, if you forgot Apple ID password or if it was compromised. Or you may believe someone else has gained access to your account.

Whatever the reason, you can change Apple ID password in a straightforward way:

Choose Sign In from the Accounts menu in iTunes, the App Store, or the Apple ID website
Select Forgot Apple ID or Password
Enter all the necessary information to reset your Apple password

How to change Apple ID on Mac

It’s possible to edit all your Apple ID details, including the email you use to log in to your Apple account:

Navigate to appleid.apple.com in your browser
Sign in with your Apple ID and password
Click Edit in the Account section
Select Change Apple ID under your current email address
Enter the new email and press Continue

Note that if you attempt to log in too many times to your Apple account with an incorrect password, your account may be frozen for 24 hours. So if you’re having trouble logging in, choose to reset your password with Forgot Apple ID or Password option before you get locked out. Otherwise you’ll have to wait until the next day to change your Apple ID.

How to delete Apple ID

Believe it or not, until recently it was impossible to actually delete your Apple ID. You could use the option to deactivate it, which was functionally similar to deleting, but Apple would still retain your information.

However, in 2018, Apple created a data and privacy portal that lets you change what you share with the company, including completely deleting your ID.

Before you do go and delete your Apple ID, think through all the consequences. You need to make sure your files are backed up first. Then deauthorize iTunes and sign out of iCloud before you finally remove Apple ID from your Mac.

Back up your files on Mac

There are certain risks to deleting your Apple ID. For instance, it’s possible to lose some files, contacts, and syncs — even the access to the apps and music you’ve purchased with your Apple ID might be terminated.

So backing up files before you delete Apple ID is essential. The best app to fully back up your files to a hard drive is Disk Drill, which you can then use to restore your lost files if something goes wrong. Alternatively, you can use a cloud storage app like Dropshare to make sure you’ll retain access to all your important files after you make any considerable changes to your Mac.

How to back up your Mac using Disk Drill

Backing up your files to rewind if anything goes wrong should be a no-brainer. Disk Drill is a powerful and easy-to-use app that takes care of creating backup disk images that you can use to restore your Mac to its former glory.

Once you have Disk Drill installed and an external drive (e.g. a USB thumb drive) ready to go:

Launch Disk Drill
Select Backup > Backup into DMG-image from the top menu
Choose the drive you want to back up — if you’re backing up your Mac, this will be your primary hard drive. Once highlighted, click Backup in your selection.
Create the name of your backup file and where it will be saved. This is where you want your external drive. Don’t save your backup onto the same drive that you are backing up.

Once Disk Drill is finished saving, you will have a safe copy of your Mac that you can mount using the app.

How to back up your Mac with Dropshare

Unlike other recovery tools, Dropshare is a great way to back up specific files that you don’t want affected by changes to your Mac. Rather than creating a full backup of your computer, you can use Dropshare to preserve your important documents or media files.

What differentiates Dropshare is that, while it has its own cloud storage you can use with the app, you can also easily configure it to use other cloud storage providers like Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and more. The app is incredibly flexible.

Keep important stuff safe

Download Dropshare to back up particular files on your Mac without losing a tiny drop of your storage. Give it a try!

Once you install and configure Dropshare’s cloud storage, all you have to do is drag and drop the files you want to back up into the Dropshare client, and it will upload them to the cloud, keeping them safe from whatever changes you make to your Mac.

Once your files are completely backed up, you can proceed with the Apple ID deletion.

Deauthorize iTunes on your Mac

Your Apple ID is used to authorize iTunes, which gives you access to the iTunes store and cloud purchases. Before deleting your Apple ID, make sure you deauthorize iTunes so that you can link it up later with a different account:

Click Account > Deauthorize This Computer from the menu bar
Provide your Apple ID password and click Deauthorize to confirm

Then sign out of iCloud on your Mac:

Launch System Preferences > iCloud
Click Sign Out in the bottom-left corner of the iCloud preferences pane

Finally remove Apple ID:

Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID
Scroll down to the section called Devices
Find your Mac in the list of devices and click Remove
Repeat for as many devices as needed

How to delete your Apple ID account

Don’t begin the deletion process before backing up and removing your Apple ID from your Mac. Once you’re ready:

Navigate to privacy.apple.com in your browser
Log in with your Apple ID and password
Click on Get Started under the Delete Your Account section
Choose the appropriate option from the pulldown menu answering why you’re deleting your Apple ID login
Provide a contact method to get updates on the status of your account and click Continue
Write down the access code used to verify your identity to Apple support
Enter the access code when prompted and then Continue
Click Delete Account and confirm

Your Apple ID account will not be deleted right away. Apple will begin a week-long verification process before destroying your account and all associated data, so you can change your mind and cancel during that time with your access code. After the verification process is over, your account will be gone forever.

As you know by now, your Apple ID is a crucial part of your Apple experience. Following the guide above, you’ll be able to easily create, change, and delete Apple ID. But before you proceed with any irreversible changes, make sure to back up your Mac fully with Disk Drill or partially with Dropshare.

Best of all, you can try both apps free during a 7-day trial of Setapp, a platform with more than 150 Mac apps across all imaginable categories, from finance to home inventory and photo retouching. So what’s your new Apple ID going to be?

Mac Id For Macbook Mac

Get started

Lift the lid of your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air to turn it on, or press Touch ID. Every time you start up, restart, or log out, you need to type your password to log in to your user account. After setting up Touch ID, as long as you're logged in, you can use your fingerprint instead of typing when you're asked for your password.

With Touch ID, you can also use your fingerprint to make purchases from the App Store, Apple Books Store, and iTunes Store, as well as many of your favorite websites using Apple Pay.

MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

On MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar, the Touch ID button is on the right side of the Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard.

13- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar introduced in late 2019 or later

13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar introduced in 2016 through 2019

MacBook Air

On MacBook Air models introduced in 2018 and later, the Touch ID button is on the right side of the function keys.

MacBook Air (2020)

How to set up Touch ID

Make sure that your finger is clean and dry.
Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences.
Click Touch ID.
Click the plus sign to add a fingerprint, type your user account password when prompted, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Use the checkboxes to select the Touch ID features that you want to use on your Mac.

Tips for adding fingerprints:

Place your finger on the Touch ID button — but don’t press. Hold it there until you're asked to lift your finger.
Lift and rest your finger slowly, making small adjustments to the position of your finger each time.
Add up to three fingerprints.

You can also delete fingerprints:

Hover the pointer over a fingerprint. A delete button appears.
Click the delete button, then enter your password to remove the fingerprint.

Use Touch ID to unlock your Mac

After you set up Touch ID, you can use it to unlock your Mac. Wake up your Mac by opening the lid, pressing a key, or tapping the trackpad. Then place your finger lightly on Touch ID to log in.

You must type your password to log in after you start up, restart, or log out of your Mac. When you're logged in, you can quickly authenticate with Touch ID whenever you're asked for your password.

You can also use Touch ID to unlock these features on your Mac:

Password-protected Notes
The Passwords section in Safari preferences
System Preferences
If you have FileVault turned on, you must type your password to unlock the Security & Privacy pane and the Users & Groups pane.

If multiple users set up Touch ID and log in to the same Mac, they can use Touch ID to switch accounts. Just press Touch ID, and your Mac switches to the logged-in user account associated with the fingerprint.

Make iTunes Store, App Store, and Apple Books Store purchases with Touch ID

Use Touch ID instead of your Apple ID password to make purchases on your Mac:

Open the iTunes Store, App Store, or Apple Books Store.
Click the buy button for something you want to purchase. A Touch ID prompt appears.
Place your finger on Touch ID to complete the purchase.

You might be prompted to enter your password on your first purchase or if you've made changes to the fingerprints that you've enrolled in Touch ID.

Use Touch ID for Apple Pay

You can make easy, secure, and private purchases on websites using Apple Pay on your Mac. Apple Pay never stores your credit or debit card information and never shares it with the merchant.

Apple Pay is not available in all regions.

Set up Apple Pay

On Mac notebooks with Touch ID, you’re prompted to configure Apple Pay during setup. If you don’t choose to set up Apple Pay when you first start up, you can set it up later in the Wallet & Apple Pay section of System Preferences. You can also check your transaction history and manage your payment cards there. For example, you can add or delete cards and make updates to contact or shipping information.

You can add payment cards to only one user account on your Mac. If you set up Apple Pay in your main user account and then log in under another account, Touch ID and Apple Pay are unavailable. In this situation, you can use an eligible iPhone or Apple Watch to complete Apple Pay transactions that you begin in Safari on your Mac.

Make a purchase in Safari with Apple Pay

On websites that offer Apple Pay, click the Apple Pay button during checkout. When prompted, complete the payment by placing your finger lightly on Touch ID.

Turn on, restart, sleep, and shut down

Press Touch ID to turn on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air if it's open and turned off. If your Mac is closed and turned off, simply open it to turn it on.

Unlike with older Mac notebooks, holding down Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air doesn't display a dialog with options to Sleep, Restart, or Shut Down. You can find these options in the Apple menu. If your Mac is unresponsive, you can hold down Touch ID for six seconds to force a shut down. Note that you'll lose any unsaved work if you do this.

Pressing Touch ID won’t put your Mac to sleep. Instead, choose Apple menu  > Sleep. If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can also add a Sleep button to the Control Strip:

Click Finder.
Select View > Customize Touch Bar.
Touch the Control Strip region of the Touch Bar to switch to Control Strip customization.
Use your pointer to drag items that you want, such as the Sleep button, from the main display down into the Touch Bar. You can also drag items left and right within the Touch Bar to rearrange them, or drag them up and out of the Touch Bar to remove them.
Tap Done in the Touch Bar or click Done on the screen when you finish.
