How can i set up an apple id for a child in family share with a debit card?

I am  a new iphone user and I would like to setup a family share account on the cloud for my daughters. It says I should be able to use a debit card, but it keeps telling me that I need a credit card to prove I am an adult? My card is a debit/credit card.

You can't. The use of a credit card to verify your identity and give consent for a child to access online services that may collect data is a legal requirement. You can change the payment method after setting it up if you like.
If that presents a problem for you, complain to your congressman. Apple didn't implement the requirement because the wanted to, but because the law requires them to.

  • HT2731 How do I set up an Apple ID for a child with gift card credit

    How do I set up an Apple ID for a chld with a gift card credit, without credit card details and without using my own account?

    Go to the main iTunes Store page (within iTunes),  click on the "Redeem" link on the right side of the page, click "Create Apple ID", and enter in the code from your card when requested. You should be able to create an iTunes Store account for your child without needing a credit card. You'll just need an email address for him/her to create the ID, though it can be a "temporary" one that you don't intend to really be used. You can change the email address to which receipts are sent to an account you really wish to use.
    Regards.

  • Can I set up an apple ID for my child that can only buy apps and music with pre-loaded funds

    I want to set up a an apple ID for my son, but only allow him to buy things if there is funds pre-loaded in his account.  Is this possible?

    Sure. You can either set up an account using an iTunes gift card or gift certificate, or set up a monthly allowance. See:

  • HT5622 When setting up an apple ID for a child in family sharing, the verification questions appear in French, even though the iPhone setting is in English...

    Possible bug?  Setting up apple id for child, under icloud, family sharing, and the 3 questions come up in Frnech, even though the phone is set to English and the remainder of screens have all been in English,
    Is this a bug or is there a way to display the questions in English please,
    thanks

    I agree.
    I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
    Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
    I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
    So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
    And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
    What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
    And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
    merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
    My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
    My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
    I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
    running out of options it seems.
    Any idea on the best solution?
    Thank you!

  • How can i set up a apple id account for my child without a credit card?

    Hi i have set up family sharing but now want to set up a apple id for my daughter. i have attempted to do this but i do not have a credit card only my visa debit card or visa electron. I was wondering if there is any way i can set one up for her ipod with just one of my cards? I really dont want to lie about her age just to create one
    Thank you

    Hey Sonn.80,
    Creating an Apple ID for a child requires the use of a credit card for your payment method in Family Sharing. See this article -
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    Specifcally -
    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.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • HT5622 How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

    How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

    Hi Kappy..
    that did use to be the case but ios 8 you can create a child's Apple ID which will stay linked to the main Apple ID until they are 13 when they can if you wish take over the Apple ID themselves.
    I Have the same question regarding creating an Apple ID for my son but it insists I have to add a credit card to prove I'm an adult.
    thing is I don't have another card to add to my Apple ID I have been using the same card for all my family's Apple purchases i just update my details when I get issued a new one.
    Any ideas or suggestions greatly accepted.
    cheers

  • How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

  • How can i set a global error page for all error cod

    how can i set a global error page for all error code?
    i don't want to leave a long list in the web.xml file.could any one help me?
    thanks

    If u have a common Error JSP named as ErrorPage.jsp
    You need to have the following piece of code in the JSP as :
    <%@ page isErrorPage ="true"%>
    This makes it as the Common Error Page for the Application. Now all you need to do is from other JSP's throw the Exception to teh container. The container will redirect to this Page and process accordingly.
    Thanks and regards,
