KIPP Managed Apple IDs for Macbooks and iPhones (Apple ID FAQ)

KIPP Managed Apple IDs for Macbooks and iPhones

APPLE has finally introduced a feature that allows our APPLE SCHOOL MANAGER to sync with GOOGLE and allow folks to login using their GOOGLE credentials!!

The Tech Team has turned on Federated Sign In for Apple ID management and has claimed all of our site domains. APPLE and GOOGLE are now in sync to automatically create and manage Apple IDs. These are called Managed Apple IDs. Staff already using their primary KIPP email addresses as their Apple ID will receive notice of the change in ownership and instructions on how to proceed.

THE MESSAGE IS NOT SPAM.

DO NOT contact Apple.

DO NOT change Apple ID on computer or phone before visiting appleid.apple.com

DO read this support article from APPLE.
