What is Apple ID & How to Create Apple ID?
An Apple ID is basically an Email Address registered with Apple along with an eight-digit Password. You will be required to enter your Apple ID and Password, whenever you try to Login to App Store, iTunes and other Apple Services.
Your first chance to create an Apple ID appears right during the setup process of a New iPhone, iPad or Mac. If you do not have an Apple ID as yet, it is likely that you decided to Skip Apple ID creation during the setup process.

After providing Email Address, you will be asked to setup an eight-digit password for your Apple ID. Make sure that your Apple ID Password is not the same as your Email Account Password.
