Method 2 of 3: Create a new Apple ID in iTunes

Step 2. Fill out the form
After clicking on “Create an Apple ID”, you will be asked to read the terms and conditions before continuing. After doing this, you will be presented with a form to fill out.
- Email: Enter your primary email address. A verification email will be sent to this address.
- Password: enter your preferred password. It must have eight characters, include upper and lower case, and a number.
- Security question: Choose three questions from the pop-up menus and give answers that you can remember.
- Optional security email: in case you forget your password and security questions.
- Date of birth. Some Apple Store titles are reserved for people over 17.
