How to Child Date of Birth on Child's iCloud Account

Today I've created an iCloud child account / Apple ID for my 12 year old son who's just saved up and bought himself an iPad Mini (cue one very excited boy!) Unfortunately, when creating his Apple ID I accidentally set his year of birth to 2015 instead of 2003 so it's now showing him as being 1 month old.
It appears that Apple won't allow me to delete his iCloud account from my family group so can anyone advise how I can either get round that restriction in order to delete his account and create a new one or how I can correct his date of birth?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Trying to change my nephews birthday so that I can link him to my account but... 'Manage your Apple ID' can't change the date, it tells me "You cannot change your birthday at this time.". I notice that I can not change the birthday of my nephew so that he is younger than 13 years of age. I presume that this is a safety feature, good. However, how do I make this change with the necessary credentials?
Thank you Apple.

    I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

    Heya Katie!!
    So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
    But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
    When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
    Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
    And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

  • How do i set up three phones on one icloud account?

    How do I set up three iphones on one icloud account? I do not want the contacts, data mixed

    It's a bad idea if these phones belong to different people.... all of your information will be merged and everyone will have everyone's contacts and whatever else you are pushing to icloud.
    However, all you need to do is go to settings>icloud and sign into the same account on all 3 phones.

    We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    One of them can keep the current account.  Since the iCloud email account must stay with the current account, whoever uses it for email might be the best one to keep it.  You can then migrate the other phones to separate accounts, along with a copy of the data.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once all the phones are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete each other's data from your accounts.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    Yes, you delete the account, then sign back in with a new ID to create their new account.  With iOS 7 you will be prompted to provide your password in order to delete the account.  Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from the device.  If you plan to migrate a copy of the data to the new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing into the new account to upload the data.

  • How do I change the Apple ID on my iCloud account??

    I've tried some of the posts on here and I'm still having trouble. I recently got the iPhone 4S and I need to restore my settings but I don't remember the password to the apple ID on my new phone and I haven't found a way to change it. Please help!!

    If you forgot your password, reset it here: https://iforgot.apple.com.  Then to change it on your phone do the following:
    For purchasing go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5), tap the ID, sign out, sign back in using your new password.
    For iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5).
    For FaceTime, do this in Settings>FaceTime.
    For iCloud, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This only deletes the account from the phone, not from iCloud.  It also deletes any data you are syncing with your iCloud account from your phone, but not from iCloud.)  Then sign back into your iCloud account using your new password and turn syncing back on to sync your data back to your phone.  (If prompted, choose Merge.)

  • HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, i jUst purchased?

    How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

    If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
    Everything on the phone will be lost.
    You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

    Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
    You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

  • HT204053 how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

    how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

    When you migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud your email is transferred to the iCloud server, including all folders on the server.
    However your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion.) Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email. Please see this page:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

    How do I get another email to verify my icloud account the last one timed out so I could not use it ??

    You can ask your email service provider for another email address. They often allow several per account. Or you can sign up for a free gmail, yahoo or other email address. Or you might use your spouse's email address.

    Hi,
    How do I remove an email address from my icloud account as I am no longer friends with this man and every time i type an s his email address comes up - I want this to stop

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

  • How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

    How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

    You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod.  My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway.  Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
    You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to.  You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases.  If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All.  LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.
