Can I change an existing Apple ID into a child Apple ID?

With Family Sharing I need to change some of my children's existing Apple ID's over to child Apple ID's. How do I accomplish this?

I suppose there are going to be thousands of us with the same question and obviously Apple didn't address it anywhere that I have seen. So I got no solution, but what I would try is to go to apple id site and see if you can change age in "password and security" tab. I do not think to be honest it is going to work, cause Apple seems to only have come to create apple id for a minor under 13 from "family sharing setup" but that is the only way that I know to change age on existing id. If that does not work try to change it to over 13. Then you should be able to use existing, but will be able to place same restrictions with "ask to buy" feature.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

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 iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice 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.

TS2972 How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV?

How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV? I updated to a new email address through iTunes but now Apple TV won't recognize it and won't connect. Please help! Thanks.

This is the first time I have ever replied to a question on here but I actually know this because I just figured it out for myself.
On the apple tv go to settings>computers
Then turn off home sharing.
Now go back to the main menu and open computers.
When you do it will give the option to use the previous home sharing settings or to use a new apple id.

How can I change Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 into English version?

It's strange for the second download shows Franch, how to change it to English version? Thanks.

Thanks for response. I purchase Photoshop Elements 10 from App store, the first install is ok-in English, but my computer reset for some problem, so I installed it again. But this time, it's not English version but the other that I cannot recognize. How can I do? I forgot to save the serial number, where can I check it?
Thanks for help.

The language is tied to the serial number. Did you purchase the software directly from Adobe?

As usual my password is not being accepted and I can't change it cos it won't accept my Apple id either HEEEEEELLLLPPPPP

As usual, I cannot upload cos it won't accept my password, can't change password cos it won't accept my Apple id either HHHEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP

To change the ID on your phone for purchasing, go to Settings>Store, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the ID you want to use. However, apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them (regardless of the ID in Settings>Store). If you purchased apps with this other ID you will have to keep using it to update the apps.

How can I change my iCloud id to match my new apple id on my iphone?

To change the ID you have to delete the account, provide the password, then sign back in with the new ID. If it isn't accepting the password, do the following...
If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), 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 iDevice, 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).

HT2486 how do I know what account a contact is in (Icloud, on my mac, etc) if it is already in my address book. also how can I change an existing contact to my iCloud account?

I have upgraded to Lion so that I can use iCloud.
when I select a contact in the address book, I can't tell what account it is in,
and I can't change the contact to iCloud if it's not already in that account, so the
contact comes up on my other devices.
This seems like a very basic function,yet if I want a contact to be on iCloud, it
seems I have to create a new contact with iCloud selected in the preferences.
is there another way?

Happy to help.
Some good news:
Address Book will become Contacts in Mountain Lion and the addition of the Group column to the display will make working with differnt accounts a bit more obvioius and easier.

How can I change the name of devices associated with my Apple ID in iTunes?

We have 3 iPads and 4 iPhones in our family. All of the iPads show up on the list of devices associated with my Apple ID as simply "iPad". All of the iPhones show up simply as "iPhone", even though each device has a distinct name on the device itself (ie. Mark's iPhone). How can I get the distinct name to show up on the list of devices so I can keep the list updated as we add or remove devices from our collection?

Not it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address. In that case your choices are to either create an email alias within the existing account, which delivers email to your existing iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), or create a new iCoud account. Note: alias addresses are permanently tied to the account that you create them in; they cannot be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account in the future.

How can I change the date of birth on my child's Apple ID?

HI,
My son's school have started an initiative where they use iPads as part of their lessons, and subsequently my son has a brand new iPad through the scheme.
The setup guide that the school supplied directed us to enter the parent's date of birth and the student's name to set up an Apple ID. However, since setting his iPad up we have become aware of Family Sharing when we setup our old iPad for his younger brother, and the ability to create an Apple ID for a child. We would obviously like the same level of protection and security for both children, not to mention restricting any accidental purchases!
Is there any way to change his date of birth from mine to his? I have read other similar posts with the best solutions apparently to fudge the date of birth so that the child is older than 13 years old. I would like to do this properly rather than lie about his age...
Thanks in advance

You can not change the date of birth on the account. You are explicitly told this when the account is created.
The ID you created is yours, not your son's. If your son is under 13, then to claim it is your son's ID is to say that you committed a crime when you created it. Create a new account for your son.
Inform the school that if they are instructing parents to do this because the children are under 13, they are potentially criminally liable. They should know better.

HT204053 how can i delete a defunct Apple ID from iCloud. It controls my access to iCloud and I can't change it. I do have a current Apple ID and Password in iTunes, App Store and everywhere else.

I have a Mac desk top and and iPad, a current Apple ID and Password and gmail address. Mac says can't access icloud be cause of a problem with my gmail address. I click to fix it and it asks for a password for my OLD yahoo account, whick I don't have. BTW, this is all set up on my iPad but the account is not verified.....round and round she goes! What can I do next?

If the old ID (Yahoo address) was an earlier version of your current ID (Gmail address), try recreating your old ID from your new ID by going 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. Then enter the password for your current ID when your Mac prompts you for your Yahoo ID.

"Always Open with" check box forces you to use quicktime player, can't change it to VLC. Any help or Apple is really trying to take over???

When I Open an .avi movie with VLC and check the box "always open with", a dialog shows up saying that I can't change the item "...avi" to always open with the selected application. The item is either locked or damaged, or in a folder you don't have permission to modify (error code - 54)
So in summary I can't use VLC to always open .avi files. The file is in a folder that I created in my desktop with all permissions and working perfect (not damaged) I am the admin and owner of the Laptop and file.
The same happens when I check the box for .mov or .mp4 files but with them I don't even get the dialog box with the massage, it just opens directly with vlc and when you think it went through, I double click to open the file and it opens with quicktime. No matter how many times I check the box "Always open with" It will always open with quicktime.
On my other laptop, an old Sony Vaio with Windows 7 I never had this kind of stress. Why does this kind of thing only happens with Apple?
Can anyone help?
