Change credit in apple ID for family share

Went to apple ID site to change age from adult to child (8) didn't work. Further under family share credit is on but A) daughter has a credit B)site asked to change to visa because I used debit but in settings it's listed as visa and when we re enter the card as visa doesn't accept so can't go further to change adult to child or when older daughter buys app visa/debit comes up and won't let her choose credit she entered (gift card) already
confused!?

What is best way to set up apple id for family?

We have 4 people in same family with Apple devices- 4 ipods and iphone. We currently all share same apple id for purchasing and sharing songs and apps. However when we sync we get each others contacts (i use mine for my business so my kids now have all my contacts on there phone and vice versa). Now my duaghter is getting my texts that should be going to my phone on her ipod. I dont know what she did or why this is happening other than she did something to her ipod messaging in settings. How do we create separate id's for each for everything except purchases for each family member and still use common for purchases?

iCloud has nothing to do with your iTunes or App store accoutns.
All Apple services use AppleIDs as the account login credentials. So any service or services that you set up using the same AppleID will be on a common account.
To set your kids up with their own Game Center accounts, they do not need iCloud at all. What they need are their own, unique AppleIDs to use when logging in to Game Center.
1. Separate AppleIDs = separate Game Center Accounts. iCloud has nothing to do with it.
2. yes, when the log in with new AppleIDs they will be starting over from scratch. Game center accounts are tied to an AppleID, so if you change the AppleID you change the Game Center account (no way around that for any Apple Service).
3. Again, your iTunes & App Store accounts are tied to an AppleID, nothing whatsoever to do with iCloud. As long as you all keep using the same AppleID for the stores, then you will continue to share all purchased content as it will all have been purchased with the same account (= the same AppleID).
4. iCloud is an email and online storeage service from Apple. When you create an iCloud account, it is tied to the AppleID in use at the time you create the account. So, if you wish to keep your email, and your sync'd content separate from others, then you should create an iCloud account with an AppleID that only you use.
Same thing goes for iMessage. If you all create iMessage accounts with the same AppleID, you will all be sharing the exact same messaging account.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for every single Apple service offered, if you wished to. In your case, it sounds like you want to all share one AppleID for the iTunes & App store, but create separate AppleID(s) for things you wish to keep private, like Game Center, iCloud and iMessage.

How do we use the same Apple id for Family sharing without syncing podcast?

We tried to set up family sharing to share apps and music but our podcasts kept updating, syncing and wold get deleted when another member would listen to hem or delete them to make room on their device. Can we share without this podcast issue?

You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

HT201081 How do we move from 1 shared Apple ID to Family Share?

My wife and have used 1 Apple ID (the one I created originally) for years but want to move to the Family Share program. How do we do so without losing contacts on her phone when she sets up her new Apple ID?

Thank you Lawrence, I know how it all works.
I'm pretty sure if I need to use Find My Phone I can log in from any device into that stupid cloud as long as I have activated it on the phone first. Sometimes I do use that method when traveling but not for daily use.
We can share our iTunes products easily between the phones on both the computers.
I don't trust the cloud. You may feel free to do so but I won't and I won't buy a basic phone because of my mistrust. Although the stupid cloud claims your data is secure or encrypted etc, it's a database. Period. One giant database and SOMEONE has to have access to the information UNENCRYPTED to manage, restore etc. There ARE master users or whatever you want to call them and I'm sorry, I just don't trust. I also have a stalker and because of that I am extra cautious. Don't worry, he's already facing two felony charges and trying to worm out of a jail sentence.
My cell phone and internet provider promised me security and my email addresses have been sold to the highest paying spammer and I get HUNDREDS of spam emails daily. For the first two years I was spam free. Didn't even see that crap in my junk folder but the last 5 years it's increasing daily. Now how does that happen? Unscrupulous employees is my guess. Especially since I do not use my regular email address for things I know will generate spam. I'm very cautious of my privacy online. Very.
Thank you for believing iCloud is safe but you did hear about all those celebrities whose photos were hacked and stolen from iCloud, didn't you? THIS is (one of many reasons) why the cloud can't be trusted.

Do I need individual apple ids for family members?

We are 5, each with either ipod touch or iphone. How do I keep track of it all and maintain sepatate music and apps for each device?

Each family member needs to create their own Apple ID (for which each will need a different non-Apple email address). They can then each create their own iCloud account, but they will need either to be using their own Macs, or if they are sharing a Mac, each will need a separate User account.

How do I change one persons apple id for a shared account, without losing previous purchases for either?

I have two children who have shared an Apple ID for the iPod Touches. The older is now getting an iPhone and is old enough to manage his own ID. My question is, if we set him up with a completely new Apple ID, will he be able to sync the phone with iTunes as a new device, even though iTunes currently syncs with his iPod? I guess what I'm asking is, can two different Apple ID's/devices sync with the same iTunes without messing up either device or getting the wrong information sync'd?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.

One apple account for family. Don't want husbands iPad to view my mail. How to change?

Updated software for husbands iPad 2. It said he can access my email account. He needs to access his own email account on his iPad, while I access my own email account on my Mac Book and iPhone 4S...how do I change this?

You each need separate accounts:
User accounts on the computer.
iCloud accounts (email and Apple IDs.)

HT201084 can it be a debit card for family share?

I cant activate my kids id. I have a debit card on file. will this not work?

No, for legal reasons you will need a credit card to set up child accounts - from the page that you posted from :
Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. 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.

How do i add an apple id for family sharing for my husband

I am trying to set up family sharing and have added my daughters easily but when i try and invite my husband it says we cant as he email address is already associated with my apple id. How can i set him up to use family sharing?

Go to Settings/Messages. Tap on Send & Receive, then on Apple ID. Sign out, then sign in with his Apple ID and password.
After doing this you will not be able to use iMessage for your own messages.

How can I change my primary apple id for my mac

I am just setting up my new mac and I accidentally put the wrong email for my apple id and now it is set as my primary id for my computer. I have an old email that my apple id was originally connected to. All of my files and music are synced to that id. I tried to change the email to the one I accidentally entered thinking it would be a quick fix, but when I did that in mac set up it was like setting up a new id all together. ( so now that email is taken) How can I fix this to where I can connect this computer to my old apple id and get rid of the the id its associated with now?
Thank you!

Change your Apple ID

How do I change the account apple ID for my Icloud on the ipad?

I recently changed my apple ID. But the icloud account information won't update to the new id on my ipad and iphone. Suggestions?

To change the iCloud ID on your iPad, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPad, 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. Tap 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 iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

Wrong apple ID for family sharing purchases

I use one email address for iCloud and one for iTunes purchases.
I have signed up to family sharing using my iTunes account, but when a family member requests approval for an app purchase, it defaults to my iCloud email address (the address is greyed out) and I cannot then approve the purchase.
Any solutions gratefully received.

It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

Can not change the default Apple ID for AppStore

I can not change the Apple ID that defaults as my AppStore login or reset the password for the default ID. The reset does not recognise my birth date security data or generate an email to any of my live email accounts.

Yes, easy to do.
Go to Settings>General>Erase All Content and Settings, then set up your iPad as a new one. You'll have to put in your ID and password to force the erase.
