HT5622 How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

Hi Kappy..
that did use to be the case but ios 8 you can create a child's Apple ID which will stay linked to the main Apple ID until they are 13 when they can if you wish take over the Apple ID themselves.
I Have the same question regarding creating an Apple ID for my son but it insists I have to add a credit card to prove I'm an adult.
thing is I don't have another card to add to my Apple ID I have been using the same card for all my family's Apple purchases i just update my details when I get issued a new one.
Any ideas or suggestions greatly accepted.
cheers

    How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account? I have tried to purchase a gift card online, but it just credits it to my account; I cannot use it to credit her new account therefore I cannot create that account.

    There are intructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. log out of your account, find a free a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' :
    click on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    Agree to the terms and fill in the details, and you should get 'none' on the payments screen.

  • HT204053 How can I create an Apple ID for my kids that are both under 13?

    My parents bought my kids iPad Minis and they do not have Apple ID's. Ideally, I would like to link them to my account so they can use the tons of apps I've bought for them on my devices while allowing them to make purchases using the gift cardsthey've received.

    Welcome to the community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
    If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

  • HT5622 How can I get an Apple ID for US store when I am in another country?

    hi,
    I am now in China, and I have bought a iPad there, I want to download apps in US store, but I can't . Could you please help me?
    Thanks,
    Alan.

    You can't, you can only use your own country's store - to be able to use the US store you will need to be in the US with a US billing address on your account. If there are apps that you would like which aren't in the Chinese store then you can try requesting that they be added, but ultimately it's the developers that will have to grant Apple a license to have them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • HT5622 How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID email and it changed for everything but iCloud and now I cannot buy more storage because it says wrong password when really it's the wrong email but it will not let me change it.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

    With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
