Creating email accounts for young kids...

I want to give my two sons (7 & 9) their own Apple ID so that can each have their own email accounts (restricted of course) but at the same time I only want to buy games, apps, software under my "Master Account".  I have read some of the streams and the opinions are many.  My question is simple:  Does Apple support this or not?  It was there in "MobileMe" but seems to be gone now that the "iCloud" has replaced it.

Yes, there is no problem having different accounts for iTunes/AppStore purchases and iCloud on the same device. Just sign in to the iTunes & AppStores using your 'master' AppleID and sign in to iCloud using the children's iCloud AppleIDs.

  • Creating email accounts for kids?

    I'd like to set up email accounts for my kids, but I'd like them to be part of my apple ID.  I've been exploring apple, and I can see how to create a new email but not how to add additional email accounts to my apple ID.  Any suggestions?

    Each iCloud account/ID can only have a single iCloud email account.  If you wanted to create additional iCloud email accounts, you would have to create additional iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  A limitation to be aware of in this regard is that each iOS device can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts.  Given this, you may be better off creating email accounts with a different provider for them, such as Gmail.

  • How do I add an email account for my kids

    I am trying to add additional email accounts for my kids. How do I go about creating one?

    Log in with your primary account, then navigate to the Account Profile page. At the bottom, there's a section called Sub-accounts. You should have a button there for adding a new sub account.

  • HT204053 I need 2 separate iCloud accounts for my kids on my device

    I need to create iCloud accounts for my kids. 2 of them to be exact so that we can transfer all their games on our iPad to iCloud accounts and free up space. So far all I figured out was that I needed them to have their own apple Ida's, which they now do.  I can't figure out how to get access to creat the iCloud accounts for them.

    An iOS device is designed to be used by one user only - unlike a computer where multiple accounts can be set up.  The device can only have one icloud account defined at a time.  Are you trying to use one device with multiple users?  Otherwise I'm not understanding your question.

  • As an educator, can i create email addresses for my classroom

    I would like to create email accounts for high school students in our pre-college workshops to use for communicating with me and each other. Can I do that and also can I personalize the address domain? What is the cost?

    Thunderbird is email client software, not an email provider. Only providers issue email accounts.

  • HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • HT5622 We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids? Thank-you

    Thank-you

    1. Yes, it is.
    2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.

  • How to set a new email account for iCloud?

    How set a new email account for iCloud?

    There are two separate things you can do.
    You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    Or if you want a completely separate account you will have to create a new iCloud account and sign into it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Note that any one device can create only three iCloud accounts.

  • Creating management accounts for protected accounts and groups in Active Directory

    I'm following step-by-step instruction for creating management accounts for protected groups that I found in Microsoft book "Best Practise for Securing Active Directory", published april 2013.
    What is confusing me is the "Enabling management accounts to modify the membership of protected groups" step. When I use DSACLS command:
    Dsacls "CN=AdminSDHolder,CN=System,DC=MyDomain,DC=com"/G
    [email protected]:RPWP;member
    what I have to type insted of "member".
    When I use previous command with simple "member" at the end I dont get this:
    Verify that the account has been granted only Read Members and
    Write Members permissions on the DA group, and click OK.
    My account have flag on all properties.
    I hope You understand me.

  • Need help setting up a new email account for my wife.

    I've been trying to set up a separate email account for my wife with no success. I've gone to Preferences clicked the plus sign, it then asks for full name (my wifes'?) email address (would that be the one I pick for her or my email address?) and password- I'm assuming that's the password I use to get my email. It tells me it's checking connection to mail server and then says login to "POP failed".
    Thanks for the help.
    Richard

    New email accounts should be created and set up first with your email service provider--contact them for information about how to do that. Just making up a new address and typing it into Mail's preferences doesn't create a new email account.
    Edited to add: In addition, you probably want to establish a new user account for your wife on your Mac, so that you and she have separate folders and inboxes for your mail, once she has her own account set up. Separate user accounts also mean the two of you can have separate bookmarks on your browsers, separate document folders, and so on--almost as if you each had your own computer.

  • Multiple email accounts for iCal notifications

    I have multiple email accounts. I would like to be able to use the email account of my preference when sending a notification for a calendar (meeting) invitation. I would like to be able to select the preferred email account for every invitation I send.
    This is not possible on iCloud (never was possible on iCal either).
    Thanks

    I too have the same request of Apple's programmers.  It is very nearly 2012.  I believe Outlook has had this capability for at least the latst decade.  I've spent the better part of the last two days going through every thread on these boards, and I've tried everything - none of it works.  This shouldn't be that difficult.
    What I think is the problem is this:
    iCal uses my "APPLE ID" email.  It is the only possible explanation because THAT is the email that iCal sends from, every time.  I've deleted that ID from my "ME" card, it's been removed from the previous recipients list, it does not exist on this computer EXCEPT for being related to my Apple ID.
    Simply being able to select which email I send an invite FROM would be a huge advancement in iCal.  I have a number of calenders in iCal, most of which sync with iCloud.  I should be able to select the from email every time I set up an invite, or at least be able to select a default send from email for each calendar.  This shouldn't be rocket science.
    Does Apple ever read these boards?  There are threads back to 2009!
