How to delete child appleid from family sharing on ios 8 ipad

I have two apple ids for one child in Family Sharing. How do I delete one?

I have the same question.  I'm about sick of reading people referring me to the above link that King refers to.  Primarily becuase it does NOT address the question at hand.  That question is "How do you delete a child Apple ID?". I know I've seen that you can not remove adult ones, but apple does not you "can" do it, but doesn't show "how" to do it.  In my personal case, I need to delete the one I made and create a new one.  This is because having an incorrect child apple ID in my family share takes 1 spot away from my sharing.  I need to remove the child ID from my share plan to create a corrected apple ID for her.  The above linke King posted states,
"Children under 13 can't be removed from a family.  If you need to, you can transfer the child to another family or delete their apple ID." Now..the phrase "child to another family" is hyperlinked and clearly shows how to do this.  But the "delete their apple ID" is NOT hyperlinked.  So we continue to search for our original answer that I haven't found since iOS 8 was released and I bought my iphone 6 on release day.
Now on that topic, the family share is messed up HARD for children.  Heres why, while I wait to find out how to delete the incorrectly typed apple ID I made, I tested how it works for my 6 y/o, who was very excited to get her own iphone 5 (w/o cell cervice, glorified itouch).
1.) While testing it out with the bad ID, I created the family share as the ogranizer.  I then added my wife and made her a Parent/Guardian".  Howver, despite this, when the "child" ID requests permission to purchase something in itunes, it only sends it to my wife and not me.  This shoudl go to both parents! If you want one or the other, make a setting.  Otherwise, if its flagged as an organizer or parent, they should have the power.  After all, as the organizer, she was verified as MY child through my credit card but I can't authorize the purchase as the organizer. Do what? Come on!
2.) When my daughter asks to buy something, she has to put in a password.  This is simply nuts. My 6 y/o needs to put in a password for PERMISSION to ask her parents to buy something. Of which the parents then authorizes the purchase via either a password or fingerprint scan.  What non-parent thought this up?
3.) To update an app on my daughters iphone requires her to request permission for each and every app, despite there being an update all.  This means, she has to put the password in on every...single...update...individually. Update all does not work. This means we need to authorize each update too...My God...really?
4.) On the topic of passwords. Again, CHILD account ID. Apple requires passwords to be 8 characters, has to have an upper and lower case, can't be a simple word, has to have a number. I mean..lets sit and think about this.  a CHILD with such a complex password needing to be entered each time to update an individual app and ask permisison.  If its a child, it means the responsibility should be put on the parent.  Have the OS route the request to ME and let me put the password in for my child.
5.) Whats the point of Auto Update? I mean, if I APPROVED these apps to go on my daughters phone, then it should AUTO UPDATE itself! It does not! Really?
6.) How can apple advise in the FAQ's to delet the apple child ID but doesn't hyper link to it? Is someone really that dense?  It sure scares the DEATH out of me to try apple PAY! >.<
7.) As I sit here looking at my family share settings, this very second, and I look at my daughters ID in there (the incorrect one I need to fix), there is nice itty bitty language on how to transfer an apple ID and a hyperlink there.  This is a GREAT spot for DELETE APPLE ID!  You know, I even logged into apples main management Apple ID section...you can't even delete the ID there either.
8.) The WHOLE point of the family share is so you can share up to 6 people. BUT, if you try to download prior purchases on the new account's, you get an error message saying that this was previously purchased BUT you are unable to download it (For what ever reason) on every one.  Thank GOD I realized I can manually FORCE the crap onto her phone by pushing it from my desktop computer to hers.
I mean...how can a "high tech" company be so obtuse? If you can't get CHILDREN policy right, how will your Apple Pay policy work out?
Sincerely,
A very disgruntled parent!

  • How to remove a childs AppleID from family sharing?

    It´s says on the apple website that it´s only possible to remove the account, or transfer to another family. How do I totally remove an account?

    Hello Rickard911,
    You can remove a family member by going to Settings > iCloud > Family, tap the family member you want to remove, scroll down and tap Remove…. 
    If the account that you want to remove is a child’s account and is under the age of 13, they can only be transferred. Everything you need to know about this is in the article below.

  • Removing myself from family sharing group.

    Can anyone share with me the steps to remove myself from family sharing in Yosemite?  I tried to setup family sharing but the system is telling me I already belong to a family.  I am unaware of this and don't know the steps to look up the parent relationship for deletion.  So I'm looking for ways to either find out who the parent is or a self deletion process.  Thanks for the help.

  • How to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing

    Can someone please explain to me in detail how to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing, none of the information I have so far found in the documentation helps at all, in fact it puts you in a constant loop giving the same information over and over again
    We have quite a few devices from ipads, iphones and ipods and I need to set-up Family Sharing.
    We have our main Apple ID which is linked to our Payment method, I have now got my son a new iPad, I have created his Apple ID and set-up a link via FAMILY Sharing to our main Apple ID.
    From what I read we should be able to share our purchased Apps between family members.
    So I figured I would be able to get the Apps now via iTunes that are part of the FAMILY Sharing, however when I go into ITunes (latest version downloaded yesterday) I can only see the Home sharing menu item not FAMILY Sharing, so I cannot work out in Itunes how to get Apps that are FAMILY shared.  So ok I will try and get Apps directly via the Ipad using the App Store.  To test it is working I look for a known paid for App, I then go to download it and it is now asking me to pay for it again. 
    Can someone please explain to me in detail how FAMILY Sharing is supposed to work and how I get it to work please.
    Thanks for your help

    Make sure you donot have any data in cube. If you have some data in cube, then you will not be able to see Delete option.
    Right click on the cube-->Delete data.
    Then double click on the cube>Goto Edit mode> select the IO under that Dimension> right click> now you will be able to see the Delete option (provided you have deleted all the date from Cube)
    Then right click on Dimension-->Delete

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.
