Cannot Create Apple ID for Child in iOS8

I'm on the Apple Support page titled: Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids
It gives step-by-step instructions for setting up an Apple ID for a child under 13 years old - this is a new feature of iOS8 and its Family Sharing feature.
Step 4 is to enter my credit card security code, however when I actually go through the process, after step 3 I am told "A credit card is required" and that I must got to iTunes & App Store Settings to add a valid credit card to my account.  Having done that (more than once!) I still get the same message.  I'm stuck in an infinite loop! The instructions are not matching the actual process.
Has as anybody else encountered this problem? Any known fixes? Do I have to wait for 8.0.1? I have to say, with my younger children using iPads at school, I was very much looking forward to this feature!
Thanks in advance -John

Someone else suggested that the issue is cause by trying to use a debit card and, at least for now, can be solved by adding a credit card instead: Creating a Child Account Error - Solved.

  • How to create apple id for child under 13?

    Hi ,
    I want to create apple ID for child under 13. Unfortunately, I was unable to create because i did not have a valid credit card as I am using debt card. Is there any options how to overcome this issue? Please suggest

    Hi abudicha, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you are setting up Family Sharing and creating an Apple ID for your child. 
    In this case, it is necessary to use a credit card when creating the Apple ID, although the payment method can be changed to debit card once the Apple ID is created. 
    To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.

  • Can't create apple id for child

    I am trying to create an apple id for my 7 year old son and follow all the prompts but once I come to verifying my payment method it does not advance and ask for the security code from the card. Then when I go to the app store or iTunes and enter the security code and then go back to creating the id it still asks me to verify.

    According to Apple a person must be 13 before they will be issued an Apple ID. Perhaps that's the issue?

  • Missing birth date when adding apple-id for child

    When adding apple-id for child the field for adding birth date is missing in form.

    If they are 13 they would obtain a normal Apple ID (13 is the age cutoff historically for an Apple ID). They should create one normally and then you can associate it with your account. I don't know if purchase control will work with that.

  • IMac with multiple user accounts "cannot associate apple id for ....."

    I have an iMac with multiple user accounts each with an Apple ID and individual iTunes library and Itunes match linking to iPhones iPads etc.
    I bought songs on my iPhone yesterday, on trying to listen to them on the iMac (my user account) this morning I get the "cannot associacte Apple ID for another 31 day" meassage.
    Is there any way round this? or is the answer only purchase via iTunes on the iMac in the individual account. Why do Apple do this?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    I'm guessing it's for piracy reasons.

  • How to solve the problem "cannot create a datasink for **(datasource)"

    There is a forums that can send and receive RTP streams, and it can play on the client. Now I want to save it. I write the code according to the jmf2_0-guide, how ever it always throws the exception "cannot create a datasink for **(datasource)". The datasource is the RTP stream received from the server. Is there anything wrong with the data source or anything else?
    here is the code:
    public synchronized void update( ReceiveStreamEvent evt){
    if(evt instanceof NewReceiveStreamEvent){
    try{
    stream = ((NewReceiveStreamEvent)evt).getReceiveStream();
    DataSource ds = stream.getDataSource();
    MediaLocator f = new MediaLocator("file://foo.au");
    Manager.createDataSink(ds, f);
    RTPControl ctl = (RTPControl)ds.getControl("javax.media.rtp.RTPControl");
    if (ctl != null) {
         System.err.println(" - Recevied new RTP stream: " + ctl.getFormat());
         } else {

         dataSync.notifyAll();
         } catch (Exception e) {
