Signing into iCloud

Managed Apple IDs are a new feature provided by Apple to educational institutions, and provides 200 GB of free iCloud storage for everyone (meaning you can keep your entire device backed up automatically at no charge to you or the district).

Please visit this page if you have previously created an AppleID using your HBUHSD email and have not completed the migration yet. You should have received an email from Apple or dcao@hbuhsd.edu with instructions on how to migrate your account.

To get started, you will need your @hbuhsd.edu Microsoft Credentials. If you have been using a Macbook/iMac throughout your stay here at HBUHSD, chances are that you have never used these credentials before. Please contact ishelp@hbuhsd.edu for a password reset.

Step 1: Settings

Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Sign In.

Step 2: Enter your Microsoft HBUHSD credentials.

Enter your Apple ID and password. If prompted, enter the six-digit verification code sent to your trusted device or phone number and complete sign in. alt text

Step 3: Verify that you have 200GB of iCloud Storage.

To see more details about your storage usage, open the Settings app on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch; System Preferences on a Mac; or the iCloud for Windows app on a Windows PC. You can see how much iCloud storage you have and how much is available. You can view high-level storage information in Account Settings on iCloud.com.
