Shopping the Apple Online Store is even faster and easier if you have an account. Your account consists of your Apple ID and password. With it, you can easily save shopping carts, take advantage of 1-Click ordering, check the status of or change your orders, and more.
Benefits of an Apple ID
To create an Apple ID (typically your email address) or sign in using an existing Apple
ID, click here.
If you have made
purchases through the iTunes Store or have a MobileMe account, you can use the same Apple ID
you use for either of those.
By creating and using an Apple ID, you can personalise your Apple Online Store experience. You can save cart(s) until
you’re ready to place an order, use 1-Click ordering on our secure website, check the status of or change your order
online, check Apple Gift Card balances, and much more.
Additionally, your Apple ID gives you access to other Apple resources including:
- Ordering photos and photobooks through iPhoto
- Registering your Apple products
- Accessing support for your products from AppleCare
Sign in to Your Account to begin taking advantage of these features!
If you forgot your Apple ID, try your current email address. If that doesn't work, you can find your user name with our Apple ID recovery tool, iForgot. You can also visit the Your Apple ID Account FAQ page.

Use 1-Click
1-Click Ordering
1-Click ordering allows you to conveniently purchase item(s) from the online Apple Store with a single click of your mouse.
When you activate 1-Click for a computer, a new button, "Buy with 1-Click", will appear on most product pages. Simply select the product you want to purchase and click the "Buy with 1-Click" button.
Items ordered using 1-Click (except for Electronic Software Downloads) will be processed at the end of a 90 minute waiting period. For each 1-Click order, a thank you page confirming your order number
will be available for you. On this page, you can access your 1-Click order by clicking the "Edit 1-Click Order" button. During this waiting period, you can modify and delete your pending 1-Click order(s).
All of the items you purchase within 90 minutes will be consolidated into one order, to save on shipping costs.
Apple will process your order according to the instructions you provide when you turn on 1-Click. Once your order has been processed, an Order Acknowledgment email will be sent to the email address registered under your Apple ID.
Remember, 1-Click must be turned on for each computer you want to use this feature with. By activating 1-Click, you indicate that you have read and agree with Apple's
Terms and Conditions.
1-Click Settings
1-Click lets you set your shopping preferences, including your preferred shipping addresses and methods, for faster and easier shopping.
To access your 1-Click account settings, log in to Your Account
and select the “Change 1-Click settings" link. From here you can turn 1-Click on or off, or edit your preferred shipping and payment information. If you’d like to change your credit card information, you must first turn 1-Click off.
