Apple ID

Version 10.1 by Christine Sklareski on 2025/05/13 11:55

Transferring your Apple ID to the EASD Domain

On May 8th, Technology Services enabled a setting to designate all Apple accounts using @etownschools.org email addresses as managed and owned by the Elizabethtown Area School District. 

  • If you HAVE NOT used your district email address to create an AppleID / Apple Account, you should not be affected by this change.
     
  • If you HAVE used your @etownschools.org email address to create an Apple account, such as for your MacBook or a district-issued iPhone, that account will need to be transferred to EASD for management. When we activate this setting, you should receive an email from Apple notifying you that the process has begun. Technology Services will also send a follow-up email with detailed instructions on how to proceed.

Your Apple ID must be transferred by June 7, 2025 or it will be automatically transferred to a personal account with a temporary email address. You will then need to select a new email address.

Read Apple's documentation for full details of this change, including account settings that may need to be changed in order for the transfer to complete successfully.

If you experience any issues transferring your account to work or personal, please submit a ticket through IncidentIQ.
