Need advice on creating 2nd account for child

Hi,
I have an iTunes account on my single user Mac that I've been using for years. My son just got an iPod and I want to set up an account for him to be able to download music, movies, apps etc for his use. Is this possible with only a single user account system or do I need to set up a login account for him too? I want to be able to set limits for him too like dollar limits per month, movie rating limits (PG) etc. I see where I can set rating limits for my account but I don't see how those will change when he uses the system.
Any advice will be appreciated.

I would suggest you set him up his own user account in Mac OS X. That will be a lot less fuss, and you can use the Parental Controls in Mac OS X and iTunes in his account to control what he can access without having to limit your own use.
To give him a dollar limit in the iTunes Store, set him up his own iTunes Store account and either buy him prepaid iTunes cards or gift certificates or set him up an allowance. For more information on these options, see:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/tutorials/#store-giftcertificates

  • Create iCloud account for child - forced email address...

    Hi
    Am about to bequeath a old iPhone to a child for their bus commutes.
    The child is not yet 13. I have tried creating their iCloud account via the
    iPhone setup process *and* creating the account from Family Sharing on
    my iPhone. Both processes required me to create a child account because
    of the child's age.
    In both cases, the account id is *forced* to be of the form [email protected]
    That is, I cannot create their ID to be their email address, which is what I have
    done for my wife and other children (we all have the same personal domain name
    for our email addresses).
    Summary:
    Creating an iCloud account for 12 yo child. ID is forced to be [email protected]
    not the preferred [email protected] Is that new? Any workarounds?
    Thank you.

    Bottom line... I can't find any workarounds.
    So the best solution is to simply enter the wrong birthdate.
    You cannot later correct the birthdate UNTIL they are over 13.

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,
    I have verified the Microsoft windows 8 app store has different regions listed
    And you can connect app store using an existing Microsoft account like Hotmail, msn etc.
    Please refer below link

  • Create user account in Child Domain

    in the child domain i can create a user account using the root domain.
    i want to stop this. i want the IT Department there create users for there domain only?
    thanks
    Ashraf Hilal

    Hi Ashraf,
    Your query is not clear. Do you want to restrict enterprise administrators from creating user accounts in child domain?
    By default, Enterprise Admins group is part of Builtin Administrators group in the child domain.
    When child domain is introduced, by default Enterprise Admins group is added to Child Domain\Administrators group (Builtin local Security group).

  • Creating management accounts for protected accounts and groups in Active Directory

    I'm following step-by-step instruction for creating management accounts for protected groups that I found in Microsoft book "Best Practise for Securing Active Directory", published april 2013.
    What is confusing me is the "Enabling management accounts to modify the membership of protected groups" step. When I use DSACLS command:
    Dsacls "CN=AdminSDHolder,CN=System,DC=MyDomain,DC=com"/G
    [email protected]:RPWP;member
    what I have to type insted of "member".
    When I use previous command with simple "member" at the end I dont get this:
    Verify that the account has been granted only Read Members and
    Write Members permissions on the DA group, and click OK.
    My account have flag on all properties.
    I hope You understand me.

  • Is there any way to access my old my verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago?  I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

    Is there any way to access my old my Verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago?  I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

    What do you mean by "when I brought the messages up back in March"?
    Were the messages on your phone? Simply because messages are on your phone does not mean they are still on Verizon's servers. You use internal phone memory to store messages on your phone. The messages do not stay on Verizon's servers until you delete them from your phone.
    On the other hand, if you still have your phone and have not reset it since you stopped using it, the texts may still be on your phone. Good luck.

  • How to create apple id for child under 13?

    Hi ,
    I want to create apple ID for child under 13. Unfortunately, I was unable to create because i did not have a valid credit card as I am using debt card. Is there any options how to overcome this issue? Please suggest

    Hi abudicha, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you are setting up Family Sharing and creating an Apple ID for your child. 
    In this case, it is necessary to use a credit card when creating the Apple ID, although the payment method can be changed to debit card once the Apple ID is created. 
    To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
    You can find this information at this link:
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • I need to create an account for my daughter and I keep getting the message that the user id already exsists. When I checked to see if the user id was in the system it told me that it didn't find one. How can I create another account for her?

    I do not want to have to assign her another email address because this is the one she has used as long as long as she has had the ipod. She is under my email account but has her own address.What do I need to do to fix this? She got a card for Christmas that I can't put in to an account for her and she cannot use. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

    You must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
    FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client.
