Family sharing add kid with already exists icloud account

I want to add my daughter. She is only 5, but i already create her an iCloud account even if she is always offline.
So if i want to add her in the family sharing, she's considered as an adult...
and if i want to create a "child" account from my iPhone, with an iCloud mail it's not possible because her iCloud's account already existe...
how can i do,
must i create an other mail (i don't want to, if possible) ?
Thank you

Hello,
you would have to edit her birth date, even if it is not possible right now to change it to her real birth date, but you could change it to 1/1/2001 which would consider her as child: http://appleid.apple.com
Best regards.

How to I get my already existing iCloud account to work on my Mac?

I have already created an icloud account on my iphone and ipad but just updated my Mac to now have icloud. I tried to set up the account on my Mac but when i put in the email i already created it says it is being used already. Do I have to create a new one or can I still used my old one? I want all three devices to be on the same page.

You must use the same ID for all 3.
Where are you trying to enter this email address?
And which version of OS X is this?

A method to convert an existing iCloud account to a Child iCloud Account for Family Sharing

I do not see any method by which to convert an existing iCloud account (we have three set up for our kids, all their birthdays are set later than their actual birthdays so we could grab their actual names before they were all gone years ago) to a new Child iCloud Account for use with Family Sharing (namely to be able to take advantage of the new features: Family Calendar, Photostream, 'Ask to Buy' on the Stores, etc. on their own iPad minis.
If this is just not possible under the current scheme, please oh please Apple make this an option - there are probably thousands of others in this same boat, and I refuse to give up my kids' iCloud accounts!

I've read every string and workaround solution on these forums (to date). There's really no good options here.
USER STORY: My kid (age 7) has an iPad 2. I created an email address for him (which he doesn't know about). I created an apple ID for him (which he also doesn't know or care about) and I set up his Apple ID with my credit card. In addition I've set up parental controls on the iPad to lock it down and make it more age appropriate. Over the past year or so it's worked out fine, he sees something he might like, brings the iPad to me and if I approve, I enter the Apple ID Password and approve the purchase. After a year of doing this, he has a nice little collection of apps, kid songs, a few movies, etc. I would like to move my kid over to a legitimate kid account now that Apple has released features that support this. Currently the ability to convert an account does not exist. Seems like it should be easy to change a birthday, etc.
Almost seems like Apple is penalizing us for getting our kid an iPad last year.
Apple - Please consider my user story for your upcoming feature enhancements.

How do I invite existing iCloud accounts to my Family Sharing account as Children?

My kids have had various iOS devices over the years, and created their own iCloud accounts for backups, email, etc with the introduction of iOS 7 (maybe 6). Family Sharing is a long overdue solution to managing to all the devices in a family.
My question is: How do I invite an existing iCloud account holder into my Family as a Child?
By default, these accounts are imported as Adults. Deleting my kids' accounts and starting over with new accounts is NOT and option, therefore without the ability to flag these existing accounts as "Child", this Family Sharing is a useless feature.
Any insights on how I can invite Child accounts to my Family Sharing Organizer account would be much appreciated.
~Rick

If the child is 13 or older, you can. Just set the birthday to 13 years old and it will work just fine.
If the child is under 13, you can't. Apple decided that you didn't need that functionality, just like me and apparently half the planet.

Another "This itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different icloud account than Apple ID "

I saw another thread on the matter but thought I would post because the circumstances are different. Here is how it happened.
I have had an Apple Store account for years and until recently our family has only had our one Mac and my iPhone 4. Thus any purchases we have made on the Apple App Store were made only with this account.
We recently purchased two iPhone 5S's--one for my wife and one for my daughter. Neither had Apple IDs so first we set up my wife's iPhone and created an Apple ID for her. Next we used the Family Sharing feature to set up an account for our "under age 13" daughter.
Because I am still waiting for my iPhone 6 Plus to arrive, and because the iPhone 4 cannot upgrade to iOS 8, and because my Apple ID is the only account with any apps that have been purchased in prior years, I set up my wife as the Family Organizer but when I set up her account, I chose the option to "share purchases from a different account" and entered the information for my Apple ID.
My daughter is able to view my prior purchases on her iPhone, but when my wife tries to view my prior purchases, she receives the message "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than <her Apple ID>."
I hope Apple is reading this. I would be more than willing to help them on this one as this feature is one of the main reasons I put our family on iPhones.

I had this problem. I finally figured it out yesterday. Try this:
On the device that is having trouble seeing purchases, go to Settings>iCloud>Family Sharing> Then tap on the user of the device you are on. Under "Family Purchases" make sure it has the AppleID of the person for that device. Mine originally had my husbands AppleID in there (he is the Organizer), but I changed it to mine. That doesn't make it so that the purchases are under me. The purchases remained under my husband, but my ID had to be in this spot for it to work.
After that, I closed settings, then I went to Settings>iTunes and App Store> click on the AppleID and Sign Out, even if it has the right AppleID in there. Then Sign In again using the AppleID of the person on that device. Again-- even if it has the right ID in there to start, still sign out and back in.
See if they show up. If they don't show up still, try doing a restart (hold down power button and home button until it restarts).
They should show up by then, but if they don't, at that point, try to go into iCloud and Sign Out and back in.
I think the key is having the right ID in "Family Purchases". I hope this works for you.

"this itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account"

I set up an iCloud family. Until now, everyone had their own iCloud account, and we had a separate iTunes ID (not an iCloud e-mail address) that all of our purchases were made under.
So, I set up that Apple ID as the master account and added everyone's personal iCloud accounts as members.
Then, I went into iTunes prefs and logged in as my iCloud account.
When I go to the App store and go to Purchased, it says:
"this itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account than <my iTunes Apple ID>." Then there is a Learn More link that takes me to my iCloud and shows my family group with the same Apple ID as the organizer.
Does anyone have any idea what happened to cause it to think that I am not in the same family group?
Thanks.

Update...I now notice:
Going to: App Store>Updates>Purchases:
1) The message “This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <her iCloud ID>...” Is now showing up on my iPhone and can no longer see any of my purchases or hers.
2) The same message above is now showing on my iPad mini (it didn’t before). But, I can still see both hers and my purchases on my iPad mini.
3) The message "This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <my iCloud ID>…” still showing on her iPhone and she still can’t see her or my purchases.
iTunes Family Sharing still works fine.
Note: If I Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store then log out of my Apple ID, then go to App Store>Updates>Purchases and log into my Apple ID from there, My purchases show up (not hers). I then toggle between Updates and Purchases and the message pops up and unable to see any purchases, again. Same thing happens when I do it to her phone except her purchases show up (not mine).
I emailed this update to Apple...waiting for a reply.

HT204053 Can you assign an existing Apple ID to Family Sharing and specify it as a Child account?

Create an Apple ID and added to Family Sharing but want to change it to a Child account. I didn't want to use the @icloud.com address as it already has an existing email address. Is this possible?

Hello chrismccreery,
After reviewing your post, I have located a couple articles that may help you. The first will aid you in setting up an Apple ID as a child in Family Sharing. The second article will explain iCloud email aliases in which you can choose at will in most cases:
For more about Family Sharing:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
For iCloud email aliases:
iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses - Apple Support
Depending on when you created your iCloud account, your iCloud email addresses and aliases may end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com domains. Learn how these email addresses are granted.
Review these scenarios to see which one applies to you:
If you created an iCloud account on or after September 19, 2012, your email address ends with @icloud.com. Learn more about @icloud.com mail addresses.
If you created an iCloud account before September 19, 2012, or moved to iCloud with an active MobileMe account before August 1, 2012, you have both @me.com and @icloud.com email addresses.
If you had a working @mac.com email address as of July 9, 2008, kept your MobileMe account active, and moved to iCloud before August 1, 2012, you can use @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses with your iCloud account.
In each case, you can sign in to iCloud with either your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.
If you created one or more email aliases for your account, be aware of the following:
You can change or delete an email alias, but if you delete an @mac.com or @me.com email alias, you can't add it back to your iCloud account.
You can't sign in to iCloud.com with an email alias. Sign in with your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How to use "Notes" on my iPad with my existing iCloud address?

How to use "Notes" on my iPad with my existing iCloud address? It asks me to create a new one...

Did I overlook some critical info here? I'm having the same problem described by Henry5, but I'm signed in to iCloud with my AppleID which is not the same as my Mobile Me/iCloud email. I keep being asked to create an account (which it won't allow me to do since the account already exists) but no where do I see an option to use the existing account. I also tried logging out with my AppleID account, and using the iCloud email, but that doesn't work.
I just want to sync my notes and mail... this is really irritating!

HT202786 my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

PRAA - Personnel numbers with already existing Vendor master record

Hi gurus,
We are using tcode PRAA to create vendor master, we notice some employees did not get converted to FK02 with the message "Personnel numbers with already existing Vendor master record". I checked FK02/FK03, but i didn't see any employee/vendor code there, I also checked vendor table, it is not there. why the system prompts me personnel numbers exist?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Just go to the table LFB1 and put in the field PERNR that you are trying to create.
If is created just put the transaction on modify instead of create.(if you want to change).
And is better to see the vendor in tansaction XK03.

I have setup and iPad mini for my mother with her own iCloud account. I have shared a photo album that has downloaded, but I am unable to view any pictures

I have setup and iPad mini for my mother with her own iCloud account. I have shared a photo album that has downloaded, but I am unable to view any pictures. What do I do?

I assume you mean on her iPad. Have you tried connecting on another network.

Using iMessage on iOS 8 with family sharing can other people linked to the account see my iMessages? We each have our own apple IDs.

no… the way to confirm is make sure in settings>messages>send and receive that all the apple ids are different in there.

HT201077 The new IOS 7 update has assigned a non-existing icloud account to my iPad!

About a year ago I updated my email address associated with my itunes account. When I did that the apps that were purchased before the update had the old itunes email address attached to them. Well today I updated my Ipad 2 with the new IOS 7 and it defaulted my icloud account to the old email address. I attempted to change it but it would not allow me to do so without the password for the icloud account with the old email address. Unfortunately there is no password or actual account with that email because I updated my itunes with a new email address. I am now stuck with a ghost icloud account on my ipad that I cannot get rid of because it does not exist. Likewise I can't add my actual icloud account to my ipad because I have to remove the incorrect account that defaulted into the setup. Does anyone know how to work around this so that I can gain access to my actual icloud account?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the pimary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).
