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 personalize your Apple Online Store experience. You can save items you’re interested in purchasing, save a cart if you’re almost ready to place an order, use 1-Click ordering on our secure website, check the status of or change your order, check Apple Gift Card balances, and much more.
Additionally, your Apple ID gives you access to other Apple resources including:
- Buying music, movies, and TV shows at the iTunes Store
- Buying or downloading applications at the App Store
- Ordering photos and photobooks through iPhoto
- Registering your Apple products
- Accessing support for your products from AppleCare

Use 1-Click
1-Click Ordering
1-Click ordering allows you to conveniently purchase item(s) from the Apple Online Store with a single click of your mouse.
When you activate 1-Click for a computer, a new button, "Buy with 1-Click", will display 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 Sales and Refunds Policy.
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 click 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.
