Been enjoying Apple TV+’s free weekend…would definitely be nice to see more streaming services do this in future.
Has anyone tried to sign in for this free trial for this weekend? I’ve signed in but it’s not coming up with the free weekend trial. It has 3 month trial if you buy an Apple device, a 7 day free trial then subscribe for a month or free 1 month trial if you bundle with 5 other devices. Maybe it’s not available till tomorrow.
See AEDT times in the story.
Oh great thanks for that. I didn’t see it.
If you have a iPhone or iPad you will have an Apple ID
I wonder if it will be available via Prime?
How do you know if you have an Apple ID? I used to use itunes years ago so may have one but don’t know if it will still be valid.
Apple ID could be your internet address, if you have used an Apple TV 4K set top box you may have these Apple ID details written down.
If you have an IPhone, IPad, or Mac you can download the Apple TV+ app simply by using your Apple ID login that you access the App Store, Apple Music, Media/Purchases and your ICloud with. If you have Foxtel the Apple TV+ is also in the Apps next to the Home/TV guide/Library etc which also includes apps like Netflix Britbox Prime Stan Paramount Disney and serval more.. plus all the 5 FTA apps, if you can’t remember or it’s not valid trying to login in will tell you…then it gives you the option to “request access”…. if that doesn’t work try a new email address/password…if this fails and you have proof of ownership of an apple device then you can start an “activation lock support request” through Apple support…I hope this is of help.
Oh thanks for that. I’ll give it a go tomorrow & see how I go.
