HT204053 How can I create an Apple ID for my kids that are both under 13?

My parents bought my kids iPad Minis and they do not have Apple ID's. Ideally, I would like to link them to my account so they can use the tons of apps I've bought for them on my devices while allowing them to make purchases using the gift cardsthey've received.

Welcome to the community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

  • HT204053 how do i create an apple id for my kids so i stop getting their silly downloads that need constant updating??? also when i get text msgs and emails on my iphone she recieves them too on her itouch...as well as visa versa.

    I was told I need to create another account for my kids separate from mine in order to avoid them receiving copies of my emails and txt msgs as well as getting ALL their silly downloaded apps on my iphone..
    now I have read that i can create separate apple ids for everyone and keep them separate from my iphone but linked to my itunes acct...
    thater has GOT to be an easier way...
    what is the best thing to do here? and how do i do it?  because thier itouches are linked to my account and their music that they purchased in also on my acct = can they share it?

    you can go to settings in icloud and turn off app sharing

  • HT201209 How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account?

    How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account? I have tried to purchase a gift card online, but it just credits it to my account; I cannot use it to credit her new account therefore I cannot create that account.

    There are intructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. log out of your account, find a free a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' :
    click on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    Agree to the terms and fill in the details, and you should get 'none' on the payments screen.

  • 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

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

    Decide which will the primary (able to use iCloud backup, Documents and data, and photo stream) Apple ID for your iPad then add a secondary account (Without iCloud backup, Documents and data, and photo stream).
