Can I change the age on my Apple ID to under 13

My kids all have Apple id accounts.  One is under 13. When I set his id up a few years ago I fudged the date because I was unable to set it up unless he was 13. Can I now change his age to under 13?

Go to appleid.apple.com to manage their IDs and sign in.  If you are using two-step verification on the ID, select the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right.  If you are using security questions instead of two-step verification, select the Password and Security Question and answer the two security question to access and change the birth date.  At the present time you may not be able to enter their correct birth dates, but you should be able to change it to 1/1/2001, which will have child ID status.

  • How can I change the age associated with my daughter's account?

    OK I am sure that this is a common issue.  Back when my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, we bought her an iPod Touch.   She was too young to have an AppleID of her own, so I set one up for her using an extra gmail accoun that I had, and entered my birthdate/age.  A few years later, she received an iPad, and most recently, an iPhone.   All of these devices are tied to the same AppleID.
    Well, now she will be 13 years old soon, and I would like to switch things to represent reality.  She has her own email account, and I believe you can go to My Apple Id to change the Apple ID name and e-mail address.  My question is, can we change the age associated with the account?
    I hear you saying, "Just create a new AppleID for her."  That may end up being the only solution, but I am trying to avoid having two AppleIDs for her to keep up with.  She has already purchased a fair amount of content (music and apps) under the existing AppleID, and I am pretty sure from looking at the posts on this Community that you can not transfer content away from the AppleID under which it was downloaded/purchased.  And so, if I create a new AppleID, she will have to re-purchase the content to get it all in one place.  As she eventually grows up and becomes independent, I would like for he to not have to "start over" with her AppleID.
    Any advice or direction to information would be appreciated.

    I have a similar situation however a bit more complicated! It seems that when I was setting the birthdate I forgot to change the year so now my seven years old daughter shows up as a two months old! There is no way to change the birthdate because it shows up in light grey when I login into my daughters account and doesn't allow a change! The birthdate can be changed only when the child turns 13 however according to this she will have to be 20 before she can change it to show property 13 and here is where this is getting completely out of hand! Now to make things more complicated I have twin daughters and they came up with their unique but similar Apple ID, so changing one will require to change both Apple IDs! After being on the phone with Apple's customer support for about one hour I talked to a supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor and their only solution is to create a new Apple ID! Of course in my case I will have to create two new Apple IDs, and I'm considering doing it. However when I started reading it becomes more complicated because I already made their Apple IDs part of my family group. It seems like you're not able to just let go of family member that is less than 13 years of age. You can only transfer it to another family, so Apple is making sure there are no kids left behind It seems like the only option will be to "abandon" the family and then create a new family with the new Apple IDs. If all this sounds bizarre to you it sounds bizarre to me too! If I can just put the kids in the car and drive them to the nearest one hour away Apple Store and have them show their credentials confirming their birthdate I would rather do that than having to spend more and more time with this issue, but that was not an option pointed out by customer support. So folks keep in mind that if you make a mistake your children's age is set in stone until he or she turns 20 if they happen to be seven at the time you made the mistake and no one can change this, even Apple! Now on the positive side I'm glad I didn't do the mistake when she was 13 or she will have to wait until she's 26 Most likely I'll be calling customer support tomorrow again and I will let you know how it went!

  • How can I change the CC size of Apple Store rented movies on the 3rd generation Apple TV (iOS 6.0)?

    How can I change the CC size of Apple Store rented movies on the 3rd generation Apple TV (iOS 6.0)?

    So, mich, according from what I've figured out that's not possible on Apple TV. What I actually think is lack of features. Any free software avaliable on Internet has suck a basic feature like that...
    I've contacted Apple about it too, but I think they don't care about me!

    That Apple Genius is full of crap.
    The paint is applied in a special electro static process to bond with the metal, like how appliances are painted. It's fogged on so light and with so many drying steps in between it can't run.
    Also the cover is removed from the rest of the electronics and painted separately, not the whole machine.
    Big feat for paint to "run" after it's been dry and baked.
    Why it voids the warranty, the computer is disassembled.

    Yes, you can update the primary email address on an account (as long as the address that you want to change to isn't currently a primary email address on another account) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on an iOS device and logging into it

  • I Can't Change The Email On My Apple ID

    Hello There, I Want To Update A Program On My Mac, I Go Onto The App Store, I Press "Update" And It Says "Enter Your Apple ID" And "Enter Your Password" But I Can't Change The Apple ID To My Own One Because I Have To Use My Cousins Password Because It's His Email Account Its Locked Onto... No Matter How Many Times I Click The Field For The Apple ID, It Won't Change But I Can Put The Password In............ HELP!!!!

    That is because the app you are attempting to update is not owned by your Apple ID. You will have to delete the app and re-purchase it with your own ID, or continue to use your cousin's password to update it.

  • How can i change the country of my Apple ID without giving out any Credit Cards?

    HI. I have the problem of having a Gift Card from the United States and an Apple ID from Colombia. I tried to change the country, but it only lets me continue if i give away a Credit Card number. I don´t want to do that, but neither, i want to lose my 25 bucks. Any advice?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You cannot use an iTunes Gift Card from the US iTunes/Mac AppStores in Columbia. You should only change the country of your Apple ID if it is true that you have moved to that country and now have the qualifications to use your account in that country; you must have a valid bank card in that country with a vaild billing address for the bank card in that country. There is no way around this requirement.

  • How can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?, how can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?

    i had to change the email address to my apple id. now when ever i try to use imessage or the icloud, it wont let me because it is using the old email address. i cant change it on my phone and idk what to do on my computer!

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new 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).  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.

  • How can I change the country from my apple id account ?

    Hello , I changed my credit card and I need to change the country field from my Apple ID account, for some reason it's unaccessable . Can you please tell me how to change the country field ? thanks

  • I can't change the country of my Apple ID

    My Apple ID was registered in Hong Kong, and I moved to Russia. I tried several times to change the region and the country of my Apple ID with my credit card in Russia, however, it does not work, there is a window that says that the Apple ID can only work in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong store opens. Never any cards not use itunes. How to change the country in the Apple ID?

    Before you can change countries in iTunes, you will need to have a valid payment information addressed in Ireland. When you have one, you can go ahead and change the country on your account.
    - sign in to iTunes
    - go to Account Information page
    - enter your Apple Id and password
    - click on Change country or Region
    - enter your new information then save
    If you will have a hard time, I suggest contacting email support.
