My 9 year old daughter needs her own apple id for her new iphone
Apple says she is too young for her own apple id, but how else am I supposed to keep her imessages separated from mine?
On both the devices go to Settings > Messages > Recieved At > Check only the number for that device
Apple requires age 13 to have an Apple ID. Nothing is stopping you from creating a second Apple ID for yourself
Hope that helps

Is there a way to share my calendar with my husband's products if I create a separate Apple ID for my new iPhone 5 and iPad mini?
Yes, Just sync them to the same calendar on your computer or internet, i.e. Google, Yahoo, etc.

If my iphone 4s was unlocked by AT&T, but I need to use my warranty for a new iphone. Do I need to reunlock the new iphone? or will apple give me an unlocked iphone?
If your phone is officially unlocked, you will get an officially unlocked iPhone if yours is replaced under warranty. Apple maintains a data base of officially unlocked iPhones & can verify whether your phone is officially unlocked or not. To be safe, point this out to the genius bar, if you go to an Apple store or whoever you talk to, if dealing with AppleCare.

Do I need a different SIM Card for the new iPhone?
Do I need a different SIM Card for the new iPhone?
The iPhone 5 will come with a new SIM Card in the iPhone ready for you to activate. If you want to make things a bit more difficult, you can cut a Micro SIM to the Nano Sim size with scissors. Of if you have any problems with your iPhone 5 and its SIM Card you can get a new one from your Carrier. But, again the new iPhone 5 will come with a new one for you.

Do I give my 7 year old his own apple id for a new ipad mini or use mine
I just bought an ipad mini for my 7 year old. we have other ipad, computers, iphones etc under my apple Id. I don't want my son to access some of my information, however many of the games and apps I've purchased are for him on my devices so I wouldn't have to re purchase them if I use my id.
I guess I'm wondering how do I set his mini up and make it kid friendly? Is there an option to create a kids apple Id as it asks for what year you are born and he is too youngIts really up to you how you manage your kids content. Think about what you want him to access. Do you want him to access Messages? iCloud? Facetime? or only the iTunes and App Stores?
You can use your Apple ID for just the stores so he can access the purchased Apps for free but avoid setting up an Id for the other services if you don't want to. In the end its up to you whether you want to create an ID for him at this point. You certainly don't need to.
You can also use restrictions to setup some parental controls.

As to the age restrictions to create an apple id, you need to enter a valid date above 13 years of age to create one, but no one is stopping you from lying about his age. As long as you are sure about what you are doing and are prepared to handle the Apple Id access it should not matter what age you enter. -
I am wondering if my iPAD (1st generation) has a major problem since the background color recently went to red?
The unit still works, but the appearance makes me think something is wrong and can only be fixed by buying a new iPAD.
Has anyone had this strange color change and how did you handle it?
ThanksThanks for the suggestion, since I had forgotten how to reboot the unit.
Unfortunately, the red color persists and even beyond that there are some odd colors while the unit is in use.
Thank again. -
My daughter bought my ipad 2. She manages all our apple devices on her computer. She purchased a i cloud package for her phones but it is showing on my ipad. I have my own apple ID now, and I download apps and songs from Itunes all the time on my own id. However her I cloud is on my ipad. I need my own I cloud for work purposes and when I try to change the apple ID in setting for her I cloud its grayed out... How can I have my own i cloud on my ipad. Originally when she bought the Ipad, she set it up on her ID, She used the ipad for awhile before she got a new one. I am using this one now. She can track my ipad if I loose it. It still shows as one of her devices. Can I get my own I cloud?
Yes of course. Jsut go to "Settings > iCloud" delete her account from your device and then start creating a new one just for you.

When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. Why is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?
She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.

How can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?
how can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?
Unless the cell carrier would provide such a service, which if they do would only be available to you if you are the owner of her cell account, then it's not possible without hacking the iPhone, something we cannot discuss here. And if she has the account in her name, then as SeaBeast suggested such hacking may well be illegal. Even 14-year-olds have privacy rights. You would have to discuss that with a lawyer, though.

My 9 year old daughter just recently lost her iPod. Is there any way we can track it., My 9 year old daughter just recently lost her iPod. Is there any way we can track it.
IF she set up find ny ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was lost, AND it is on, AND it is connected to wi-fi, then she may be able to get an approximate street address using the find my ipod service.
Otherwise, no.

My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I'm trying to set up a iTunes allowance account for my 11 year old daughter, I set up the account but put in the wrong email address, now it's trying to send the verification email to an old addy I no longer have access to. Help.
I've tried looking at my own itunes account but I cannot seem to find the allowance account, it says I currently have zero allowance accounts.
All I want to do is change the assigned email address.Who is the email provider? Not all accounts can be set up as POP3
