If you want to find out how to create an Apple ID, the first step you need to take is to connect to this page of the Apple website. Once this is done, you will immediately find yourself catapulted into the page with the (long) registration form for the service that you will have to fill in its entirety.
Then type your e-mail address in the field [email protected] (it will become your username to access Apple services) and the password you want to use for your account in the fields Password e Confirm password. The keyword must be eight or more characters long and must contain at least one capital letter and one number (ex. Password that's no good Password1 all right).
Then fill in the fields name, last name e date of birth by entering your personal details, then proceed to fill in the other sections of the form by choosing the three security questions and their answers which will allow you to recover your Apple ID password in case of loss.
