I'm trying to set up my own Apple ID since I'm an adult now and I'm tired of sharing a camera roll and getting texts from my parents. I go to the website, fill out all my info, and enter both the email and text message codes. But then it says, 'cannot create an account at this time.' What does that even mean? Will it work in the morning? Do I need to wait until I get a new iPhone for this to happen? Come on Apple, help me understand!

I just ran into this as well. It seems like their systems can be down occasionally. Just hang tight and try again later!
I faced the same problem earlier! After multiple tries, I contacted Apple Support, and they were able to help me out. It might be worth reaching out to them if the issue persists!
You might be running into a temporary issue. It could be a system problem on Apple's side. I recommend checking again in the morning. If it still doesn't work, try using an Apple device for the signup process.
Yeah, I had the same issue. Waiting it out usually fixes it, but definitely try an Apple device if you can!
Good idea! Sometimes they need to add your info to the system manually.
