No. Apple ID is only needed for the personalized support resources outlined above. You can access software downloads or search the Knowledge Base without being signed in with an Apple ID. How Often Do I Need to Sign In? Apple ID sets a “persistent cookie”. This means that you generally do not need to sign in again, even if you quit your browser. However, for security reasons, before important transactions you will be asked to sign in again. You can sign out whenever you wish—and should always do so at the end of a session if your computer is shared. Can I Have More Than One Apple ID? Yes, but this is not recommended and can lead to difficulties. How Do I Know if I Am Signed In? You will be greeted by name in the “My Support” area of page. If your Apple ID is not active you will be invited to “sign in” for additional options. I Get an Error Message When Trying to Enroll an Agreement at My Info or Check a Repair Status If you receive a message of "Sorry... ...but we can't find data for you in our system" you may have multiple Apple ID accounts. Try logging on with one of your other accounts. Many times, product registration, repair status, the ability to get your product repaired through our website, and the ability to register an agreement is attached to one of your other Apple ID accounts. The best way to log in with another Apple ID account is to delete the Apple ID cookie from your browser preferences. |
