What You'll Learn
Create an Apple ID
To create an Apple ID (now known as an Apple Account), you can use an Apple device, an Apple app, or the Apple website.
Firstly, you will need to provide your name, select your birthday, and enter your email address. This email address will be your primary email address, which you will use to sign in to your Apple Account. If you don't have an email address, you can tap "Don't have an email address?" and follow the steps to get a free iCloud email address.
Next, you will need to verify your email address, create a strong password, and set your country or region. You will also need to set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID.
After this, you may be asked to enter your phone number, as well as a payment method and billing information. You won't be charged until you make a purchase, and you can choose "None" as your payment method. Your phone number can help you verify your identity and recover your account if needed.
Once you have completed these steps, you can sign in to your new Apple Account to use the App Store and other Apple services, such as iCloud.

Verify your email address
To verify your email address, you must first check your email inbox for a verification email from Apple. This email will be sent to the primary email address you provided when creating your Apple Account.
Once you have located the email, open it and follow the instructions to verify your email address. This process may involve clicking on a verification link or entering a verification code provided in the email.
It is important to note that this verification step is crucial to confirm your ownership of the email address and to ensure that it is valid and active. By verifying your email address, you can securely access your Apple Account and take advantage of the App Store and other Apple services, such as iCloud.
Additionally, your primary email address associated with your Apple Account may be included in the body of some emails from Apple. For example, you can search your inbox for receipts, repair updates, support communications, or billing emails from Apple to potentially identify your primary email address.
If you encounter any issues or cannot locate the verification email, you can try checking your spam or junk mail folder to ensure it has not been mistakenly filtered. If you still cannot find it, you may need to request a new verification email or contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Enter your payment method
When creating an Australian Apple account, you will be asked to enter your payment method and billing information. You won't be charged until you make a purchase, and you can also choose "None" as your payment method.
To add a payment method, open the App Store and click your name. If your name doesn't appear, click the "Sign In" button, sign in with your Apple Account, then click your name again. Next, click "Account Settings". You may be asked to sign in once more with your Apple Account.
Next to "Payment Information", click "Manage Payments". If you already have a payment method on file and want to change or update it, click "Edit" next to the existing payment method and enter your new billing information. Then, click "Done". If you want to remove a payment method, tap the red delete button next to the payment method, then tap "Remove".
To add a new payment method, click "Add Payment" and enter the new payment method details, then click "Done". You can also add a payment method after signing in to account.apple.com. In some countries and regions, when you edit payment information online, additional payment methods may be removed from your account automatically.
Make sure you're using a payment method that matches your country or region, and check your settings. If you're using an accepted payment method but your Apple Account is set to a different country or region, change your country or region. Double-check that your name, billing address, and other information are spelled correctly and match what you have on file with your financial institution.

Set your country/region
To set up an Australian Apple account, you will need to follow a few steps. Firstly, you will need to verify your email address and create a strong password. Then, you can sign in to your new Apple account and use the App Store and other Apple services, like iCloud.
To set your country/region, you will need to open the Settings app on your device. From there, tap on your name and then on 'Media & Purchases'. Next, tap on 'View Account' and then on 'Country/Region'. You should then be able to select your new country/region, in this case, Australia, and review the Terms & Conditions. After tapping 'Agree' in the upper-right corner, you will need to select a payment method and enter your new payment information and billing address.
It is important to note that you must enter a valid payment method for your new country or region. If you are unable to change your country or region, it may be because you have active subscriptions or a remaining account balance. You will need to cancel any subscriptions and spend your account balance before attempting to change your country or region again.
Additionally, if you are part of a Family Sharing group, you might not be able to change your country or region. You may need to leave the Family Sharing group to proceed.

Enable two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your Apple Account, designed to make sure that only you can access your account—even if someone else knows your password. When you sign in to your Apple Account for the first time on a new device or on the web, you need both your password and the six-digit verification code that’s automatically displayed on your trusted devices.
To set up two-factor authentication, go to the Settings app on your device. Tap on your name at the top of the screen to access your Apple ID settings. Enter the phone number where you want to receive verification codes and choose to receive the codes by text message or automated phone call. Apple will send a verification code to the phone number you provided. Enter the verification code to confirm and enable two-factor authentication.
After enabling two-factor authentication, you can add additional trusted devices where you can receive verification codes. Ensure each device is signed in with your Apple ID and has the latest version of iOS or macOS.
If you recently enabled two-factor authentication, you have the option to lower your account security within two weeks of enrollment. When you sign in to your Apple Account on a new device or the web, you might need to enter a verification code. Your trusted devices will receive a notification that might include a map of the approximate location of the sign-in attempt. Choose "Allow" to get a verification code, which you’ll then need to enter. After that, you can complete your sign-in.
After you enable two-factor authentication, you will need your password, along with a secondary login method – either a code, a login confirmation via an app, or a physical security key to log in to your account.
