How old do you have to be to open an itunes account?

I have just bought my son an ipod touch for his 7th birthday.
I want to create an itunes account for him so all his info stays seperate from my itunes.
What is the minimum age for creating an itunes account?
I cant put any apps or music onto his ipod until I have created an account!
I have created an email address for him and will put my debit card details in (obviously I won't give him the itunes password ha!)
Thanks for your help

You're welcome. What you can do is make an account in your name, but make sure that he's the only one using it.

I was just wondering how old do you have to be to finance a macbook pro

hi i was just wondering how old do you have to be to finance a macbook pro, im in high school and i im always doing projects with my friend, and since im always at their house i wanted to get a macbook so i can bring what i wroute and others stuff to their house. Also how much money would it cost to finance it.

Forget about financing a Mac.
If you can't afford to pay big boy cash up front + AppleCare + tax + backup drives + third party software + OS X annual upgrades + annual third party software upgrades + case + adapters + this and that... etc.
Then you really shouldn't be getting one because money is already too tight for you and there is a lot of other costs besides the sticker price that can even exceed the sticker price.
I've paid over $10,000 over 10 years for Mac's and associated software and hardware.
My Windows XP Dell Tower using friend used the same $600 machine over that same time frame, perhaps to $1000, paid for a few changes, RAM upgrades etc., but nothing even close to what I have spent on Mac's.
Mac's are for the rich.
A Windows 7 laptop will do you just fine for $400 at any office store and perform just the same as a 13" MacBookPro costing $1500 + $400 in AppleCare and Tax, they are almost idential performance wise except for the name and the case.
If you want to 3D game, get a $250 PlayStation 3 or Xbox. Boom your done for under $1000
If you finance, then your looking at spending $3000 for a $1500 computer that can be lost or stolen, some jerk spills a liquid on the keyboard and fries it in seconds.
You still have to pay off the $3000 loan.

How old do you have to be to have an apple account

how old do you have to be to have an apple account, i want to set one up for my daughter on her iphone and it said she is not eligable to have one yet?

Apple says that the iTunes/MAS accounts are for 13 years of age and older;

REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE ITUNES SERVICE
This iTunes Service is available for individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older but under the age of 18, you should review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it.

HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account?

The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

How old do you have to be, to be an apple developer

Hi,
My name is michael, and I had a question I would like to ask the devolper community. I have always dreamed of making apps ever since I was 11, I have taken classes at school, learned online, and even through youtube. I am now 15, and thought that I have the maturity and patience to work on an app. I found out from an apple employee about the $99 devolper program, and wanted to enroll in it. My problem however was how old do I have to be? If anyone could help me, or give me any alternatives, I would really appreciate it.
Thankyou

What you have to do is have your parents create a new Apple ID, for you, but in their name. They pay the $99 but you use the account. That is all on the up-and-up as far as Apple is concerned. If you make any money, your parents would still be responsible for taxes, etc.
However, you can access most of the developer services with a free developer account. The only things you can't do are install software on a mobile device, put something in the app stores, or post your own messages in the developer forums. All of the good beta software will be going live shortly so that is not much of an issue right now.

HT4972 Can you have two iPhones to the one iTunes account? I am overseas and using the old iPhone 4 here, but also have a current iPhone 5.

I have two iPhones, a 5 which I currently use and an old 4 which I use as a second phone as I am overseas. I have connected both to iTunes. Does this cause any problems have two phones on the one iTune account, as far as updates, etc goes?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It won't cause any problem. Moreover, you will be able to share the purchases between both phones and have the same information by using iCloud, so you don't lose anything

HT204053 how old do you have to be to create your own AppleID?

I am trying to create an Apple ID for my daughters icloud account on her ne phone, but when i try to put in her age and press next, it sends a window telling me you are currently not eligable to set up an Apple ID account.
Is there an age limit? and if so what are my alternatives?
I am guessing I can do it under my name, but I want this to be an icloud account for my daughers iPhone, and I want the account under her name. Is this possible because its asking for a birthdate then in next window it wants your first and laet name. Should I put my daughters name here or mine. I want my daughters neme here so when she connects to icloud, it will show her name not mine.
Please advise.

They have to be 13. You can let her use your (2nd) account which should be in your name but with any address you want that you have control of. Whether you adhere this is a matter for you to decide.

How old do you have to be to be eligible to have an apple id?

How old do you need to be to get a dev account?

I want to get a dev account with the money I've saved up to summit my app to the apps store for iOS. I'm 13 right now and what I've read on other sites is that you need to be 13 to have one but you need to be 18 to have a credit card. What I want to so is create a new Apple ID for the dev account. Well I already have my debit card on the account but I have no idea what age i have on the account as I think it used to be my dads but I'm not completely sure. So what does this mean about not having a card on the account?

No I have my own Wells Fargo teen account that's a debit card that's under my name.
Doesn't matter. You must be 18 before you can enter into the contracts that are needed to apply. After five years, you can ask to transfer those apps into your account, I think...if that process still exists then.

Do you have to pay to create an iTunes account?

A friend of mine has an iPod Touch and would obviously like to download apps and music. Unfortunately, she says when she tried to create an account, she found out she had to nominate an amount to spend each month.
We did not have to do this when we set up all three of our accounts in our family - why would this family have to?
Any ideas?

I set up an account in my iPhone without a credit card or anything like that. The only thing that apple has of mine are an email address and my actual address. If that's what you want make sure you're not signed into any account in the app store on your iDevice. Find an app that you want that's free and hit install when it says create an account or log in hit create account. Fill out everything as you normally would but when you get to payment options under the credit card varieties there will be the various ones and there will be an option "none" just hit none and finish making your account and that's all you need to do. Keep in mind though that you will only be able to download free apps, if you would like to purchase them you would have to set up a credit card or something like that to your account.

My daughter has an iphone 5s and I have her old 3GS. She receives all my imessages that I rcv or send to other people. Can anyone advise how to stop this? we have removed the 3gs from her itunes account but it hasn't stopped the issue.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.
