How do i set up separate apple id's for my teenage kids?

I've had my two kids using my apple id but now want to set them up with their own id's. How do I make them their own account and put all their itune apps and music, etc on their accounts?

You can add two iCloud accounts on a single user account.
To do it, first add a main iCloud account, so open System Preferences > iCloud, and set up iCloud with one of the Apple IDs.
Then, open System Preferences > Internet Accounts (or Mail, Contacts & Calendars), press the + button and select iCloud. Now set it up for a second Apple ID.
If you want to use two iCloud accounts, I recommend you to set up another user account for the second iCloud account, so the data between both iCloud accounts will not get mixed

  • HT204053 I only have one e-mail, how do I set up separate apple IDs for three family members ?

    How do I create apple IdS for three family members with the same e-mail? They are kids and have no e-mail.

    You can configure a new email address for them using the @cloud.com server suffix. Do that when you open an iCloud account for each and set up the separate Apple IDs that will each be tied to a different email address.

  • 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,

    Hello there MizzouTrojan,
    If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • IPhone 4. Text Messages now go to roommate's phone instead of mine! We have shared apple ID all along, now it is a problem. How do I get my messages to my phone ONLY, and how do I set up an apple id for him on his phone?

    how do I change apple id on Iphone 4?

    There seem to be 2 different questions. To share an Apple ID but get separate iMessages go to Settings/Messages and uncheck all of the options except your phone number (and/or email address).
    To use a separate Apple ID JUST for iMessage go to Settings/Messages, log out, then log in creating a new Apple ID. You can still share the Apple ID for purchases.

  • How do I set up a Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model  Actiontec 424wi F series.  Does the wifi in the modem have to be shut off and will it effect the FIOS tv?

    How do I set up an Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model MI424wr F.  Does the wifi have to be turned off in the modem and then bridge it to the TC?  Will FIOS tv be effected?

    Your first call should be to Verizon support to ask them if you turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router....will it affect any of the features/functions of the FIOS system?
    If yes, then it would be best to leave the Actiontec router "as is" and connect the Time Capsule using Ethernet in Bridge Mode as a back up device only (wireless is turned off on the Time Capsule).
    If you want to use the dual band (and likely much faster) wireless capability of the Time Capsule, then you should turn off the wireless on the Actiontec device to help prevent wireless interference effects that will likely occur when two wireless routers are in close proximity to each other.
    Again, the Time Capsule would be connected to the Actiontec router using an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Actiontec router to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as well in this type of configuration.
    Bottom line....what Verizon says will pretty much dictate how you can set up the TIme Capsule.

  • Should I set up separate apple ids for my kids or should we use mine?  If we separate them, can we still share our music from itunes?

    I have an iphone 5s and an ipad that both use my apple id.  Last week, my 2 kids got iphones so they are also using my id.  Should we create separate apple/icloud ids for them or should we all use mine?  Can we continue to share music from itunes if we have separate ones?  I'm really not sure of the best way to handle this and I don't want to screw anything up!  I really appreciate any help!  Thanks so much!

    There can be more than one Apple IDs for one iPhone, and each ID will be responsible for its own functions. You could, for example, set up one for iCloud, which will contain your contacts, calendars, settings, your backups, etc. But at the same time you could have another Apple ID for purchasing your apps, so when you buy or get free app, App Store will ask you for Apple ID and you can enter another ID that is not the same that keeps your backups and settings.
    If you want to separate your sons iPhone from your ID completely, you can change it in iCloud settings. Also it will make your children's life a lot easier.

  • 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.
