HT5622 When setting up an apple ID for a child in family sharing, the verification questions appear in French, even though the iPhone setting is in English...

Possible bug?  Setting up apple id for child, under icloud, family sharing, and the 3 questions come up in Frnech, even though the phone is set to English and the remainder of screens have all been in English,
Is this a bug or is there a way to display the questions in English please,
thanks

I agree.
I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
running out of options it seems.
Any idea on the best solution?
Thank you!

  • How can i set up an apple id for a child in family share with a debit card?

    I am  a new iphone user and I would like to setup a family share account on the cloud for my daughters. It says I should be able to use a debit card, but it keeps telling me that I need a credit card to prove I am an adult? My card is a debit/credit card.

    You can't. The use of a credit card to verify your identity and give consent for a child to access online services that may collect data is a legal requirement. You can change the payment method after setting it up if you like.
    If that presents a problem for you, complain to your congressman. Apple didn't implement the requirement because the wanted to, but because the law requires them to.

  • I have set up an Apple ID for my child who is under 13. I did not get the steps to set up the password for the ID. How do I do that now. The family sharing has sent an email notification to the email by how do I access it?

  • I use tripit on both my iphone and ipad.  However, while tripit will sync with the gmail calendar on my iphone, it will not sync with the gmail calendar on my ipad, even though the setting are all in place, correctly for both.

    I use the "Tripit" travel app on both my iPhone and iPad2.  While I have no problem getting my Tripit info synced to the Gmail Calendar on my iPhone, I am unable to get Tripit to sync to the Gmail calendar on my iPad, even though the setup information (email address, settings, etc.) are exactly the same.  I know that Tripit is installed correctly on the iPad, as I am able to go to that app directly and correctly see all of my info.  However, even though I've set up the secondary "Tripit" calendar feed (to Gamil) on the iPad, it's not synchronizing and showing up.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • HT2731 How do I set up an Apple ID for a child with gift card credit

    How do I set up an Apple ID for a chld with a gift card credit, without credit card details and without using my own account?

    Go to the main iTunes Store page (within iTunes),  click on the "Redeem" link on the right side of the page, click "Create Apple ID", and enter in the code from your card when requested. You should be able to create an iTunes Store account for your child without needing a credit card. You'll just need an email address for him/her to create the ID, though it can be a "temporary" one that you don't intend to really be used. You can change the email address to which receipts are sent to an account you really wish to use.
    Regards.

  • I'm trying to reset my password on the iPad and apple says it has sent me an email, but I don't receive it, even though the address is good.

    I somehow seem to have changed the Apple id password on my iPad and don't know what it is.  When I try to reset it, I'm given the option of having Apple get in touch with me by email.  I click on this choice and Apple says the email has been sent - but I never receive it, even though the address is valid.  The other option is to answer two questions preceded by entering my birthdate.  I know the answers to the questions, but must have entered my birthdate incorrectly when I set up the account.  To make a long story short, I can't sign in to iCloud on the iPad and can't figure a way out of this dilemma.

    Your password was sent to your emergency email address.  Perhaps you have an email you never use?   I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
    Your Apple account and cloud account are separate.   You could even have completely different user and password.   Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
    If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

  • 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

  • Can I set up an apple ID for my child that can only buy apps and music with pre-loaded funds

    I want to set up a an apple ID for my son, but only allow him to buy things if there is funds pre-loaded in his account.  Is this possible?

    Sure. You can either set up an account using an iTunes gift card or gift certificate, or set up a monthly allowance. See:

  • Shared folder files open as read only even though they are set up as read write

    Hello, I've recently purchased a iMac to work alongside my mac book pro. Primarily, i want this for ease of use at home and as a 'back up' to my pro should anything happen.
    I have a number of folders and files on my pro that I wish to access on the iMac and have set up shared folders to enable this with a new profile and read/write permissions. This all works fine until I open the document, make changes then find that I have to save as a different name as the files open as 'read only'?
    Is there anything I've missed? I would of expected 'read/write' permissions to enable me to save files as edited?
    Any help appreciated otherwise, I'll have to resort to copying files between machines which would be a major dissapointment!
    Thanks in advance

    Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
    On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
    Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
    Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

  • When following your instructions on setting a blank new tab, I get and error message "invalid url", even though the sting entered in the config is as you state.

    I would like a blank new tab to open, but have followed the help guidance to modify the about:config.
    However, for all strings shown, I get a consistent error message "invalid url", even though the string has been copied correctly.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

    A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed &amp; I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

    I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

    Hello, Wyseup. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Most likely this email address has been attempted to be setup as an Apple ID at some point.  You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below.  If you do not have access to the email account, need assistance or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

  • I have 3 IPOD touches.  I just got a new one and set up an apple id for it.  When i go to the store, it brings up an old apple id to one of the other ipods.  Why isnt it bringing up the id i gave to the ipod?

    I have 3 ipod touches.  Just got a new one and set up an apple id for it.  But when i use the ipod to go to store to make a purchace.  It tells me to sign in, and brings up an Apple ID and ask for password.  the problem is the Apple ID its bringing up is for my other Ipods.  How do i change it to bring up my id i set up with That ipod.  I never once put that id into the current ipod.  Like i dont even know how it got there.

    This is what yo have to do:
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with the other account.
    That is the only place.
    Try signing out. Then
    Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then sign back in.

  • When setting up my apple id for the apple store I get to the credit card screen and it tells me I have to contact support to finish.  I can't seem to contact support as there is no number for them on this type of issue.

    When setting up my apple id for the apple store I get to the credit card screen and it tells me I have to contact support to finish.  I can't seem to contact support as there is no number for them on this type of issue.  How the **** to I talk to a person who can fix this?

    It's a real problem when you're deployed outside the US and your billing address, though totally correct, is not. This seems to be a common complaint. I think the billing address vs. your present location causes some security concern or similar nonsense that prevents progress.
    The only way I know of to resolve this is to contact iTunes Support by email. I have never had to wait more than a day for a response:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    The response should not be "automated'. Explain your circumstances. You deserve a personalized response.

  • I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?

    Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
    Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?
