HT2534 How to set up Apple ID for kids' iPod touch w/out email or credit card

The subject pretty much covers it - their mother has the iPods set up under her apple ID but we want to set them up for texting.
I already found out how to set up iMessage (settings/Messages - on/may have to enter the Apple ID manually/use the green "messages" app to send texts), but the issue is the Apple ID. Thanks!

You need an email address unique to each Apple ID. Why not just get an email address and create an Apple ID with a credit card?
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

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

How do I change apple id on an Ipod Touch I just purchased

First do this and then setup the iPod with your ID
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you can't then the Activation Lock is on and you will either have to get the Apple ID and password of the previous owner or return the iPod to the seller for refund

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

If i have a shattered ipod touch 4th ggeneration and i trade it in at Apple Store for the ipod touch 5th generation Will they take it even though it is shattered? and will i get my 10% recycling thing?

As far as recycling, they will take one, dead or alive, so I assume a shattered one would qualify just as well.

Why doesn't it say none when I am setting up my apple id for billing because I don't have a credit card or gift card at the moment

why doesn't it say nome on billing when creating an Apple ID because I don't have a credit card or gift card

Hello Lai5c,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to create a new Apple ID with no credit card attached. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Support
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
If you're using the store for the first time with an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method. After you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
If you're creating a new Apple ID, you might be able to create an account without entering your credit card details.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

HT3529 i (the parent) wants to keep my apple id for my stuff but have my sons have their own apple ids for their ipod touch's. how do i do that?

does anyone have a good way to do this?

I have the same question. My son and daughter both received iPod Touch devices. I did not want to create a new Apple Id for each of them, I want to manage any application aquisitions and do not to have repurchase numerous apps I bought over last year on my iPhone for the kids to play with. Bottom line, is it impossible for for my kids to have these devices with the same Apple ID as my iPhone/iTunes account?

How to change the "home" computer for a iPod touch 3G (iOS 4.2.1) and an iPad 2(iOS5)? Music library has been already moved to iTunes on the new computer.

I have a iPod Touch (3rd gen) that has not upgraded it's OS beyond iOS4.2.1 even if I have tried connecting it into iTiunes I have a iPad2 which has been recently upgraded to iOS5 . Both were connected to a laptop computer that my husband will take with him when he moves to a different city. I will most probably buy a second laptop sometime, but meanwhile I want to tether my iPod touch and iPad 2 to my desktop PC for now. Before I took the plunge, I had a few questions which I am hoping this forum will help me answer
1. How to switch the Home PC for these devices? I have already transfered my Music library on to my Home PC and then downloaded and reorganised with iTunes. Since I am reorganising the library anyway I don't minding removing all my music from the iTouch and set it up from scratch for the music. However, I removed all musci from theiTouch, changed it to manual mode and connected it to the desktop- It's detecting it fine- but it still is not the home computer for the iTouch- everytime I try to put new music in it- it is deleting everything old- I can't see the same controls as I see from the laptop at all- how to rectify this? To I need to set this up as a new iPod (restore route)?
on the touch I have very few apps and don't care about them. on the iPad I do have a couple of valuable apps that I want to hold on to- so have n't tinkered with it at all- what is the smoothest way for thsi transition? The iPad doesn't have any music on it at this time, but what to do if I want to transfer some?
2. Is there a way I can store the organised iTunes info in any way- like I said I might buy a new laptop in a few months but do not want to reorganise my iTunes over agaoin- it' a fairly large collection most of which is n't purchased from the iTunes store.
3. Why sin't my iTouch 3G upgrading- it's stuck on iOS4.2.1 but iTunes doesn't show any updates- even with chck updates button iTunes show that it is a current version.
thanks for reading through and any help that I can get to sort this mess out.

The recent release of iBooks 1.2.1 has corrected the problem of the missing Dutton edition of Winnie-the-Pooh. It may have been there with the previous install of iBooks but it would never display in the bookshelf. After updating iBooks to 1.2.1, the Dutton version (the one included with iBooks) suddenly appeared on the bookshelf. So it was a software glitch after all and not a fix Apple chose to document explicitly in the update.

How do I download Apple store to my Ipod touch? It's missing.

My Apple App store is missing from my Ipod Touch 2nd generation along with my Itunes Store. & My Itunes on my computer won't sync newly downloaded apps or delet apps on my Ipod. How do I re-download my app store onto my Ipod?

Hi Marisa...
The App Store and iTunes Store icons cannot be deleted from the device.
Swipe left of the Home sceen then type in App Store in the search field. Same for iTunes.
If you can't locate the apps tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
