Problems creating Apple id for a child

with the new family sharing I'm trying to set up an id for my child however it keeps asking for credit card info even though there is already one setup for the account

if you want to create and apple id for your child without giving out any credit card info so he it is.
Try creating the aaple id directly from the app store.
App store> Top Chart> Free> click on any free app and the it will ask you to create an Apple ID.
In this process it will show u a "None" option in the payment info along with Visa and MasterCard.
Click none and continue..

Cannot Create Apple ID for Child in iOS8

I'm on the Apple Support page titled: Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids
It gives step-by-step instructions for setting up an Apple ID for a child under 13 years old - this is a new feature of iOS8 and its Family Sharing feature.
Step 4 is to enter my credit card security code, however when I actually go through the process, after step 3 I am told "A credit card is required" and that I must got to iTunes & App Store Settings to add a valid credit card to my account. Having done that (more than once!) I still get the same message. I'm stuck in an infinite loop! The instructions are not matching the actual process.
Has as anybody else encountered this problem? Any known fixes? Do I have to wait for 8.0.1? I have to say, with my younger children using iPads at school, I was very much looking forward to this feature!
Thanks in advance -John

Someone else suggested that the issue is cause by trying to use a debit card and, at least for now, can be solved by adding a credit card instead: Creating a Child Account Error - Solved.

I cannot find create an apple id for a child on itouch. Any suggestions please?

can someone please assist with the above. I set up the iTouch using my apple ID but i can't seem to find the option to set one up for a minor

What part can't you do:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap "Create an Apple ID for a child."
Enter your child's birthday and tap Next. The birthday for a child's account can't be changed after the account is created. Be sure to enter the correct date.
Review the Parent Privacy Disclosure and tap Agree.
Enter the security code for your credit card and tap Next. If you don't have a credit card on file, you'll need to add one.
Enter your child's name, tap Next, then create their Apple ID ([email protected]) and tap Next.
Follow the onscreen instructions to set a password, choose security questions, and set up your child's account. Choose passwords and security questions that you both can remember.

I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

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 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:

All the best,
Jeremy

Create Apple ID for children

Hello,
After many tests it is impossible for me to create an Apple account for my 10 year old son.
I get systematically the following message:
"You currently have a registered credit card. To create an account for a child, you must confirm that you are an adult by adding a credit card to your iTunes account."
My iTunes account is active since the release of the first iPhone, and well connected to a visa card, so credit card.
I disabled family sharing, deleted my card re sharing, reassigned my card, the problem remains the same.
If someone in the solution, thank you in advance.
Julien.

How to create an apple id for your child

how to create an apple id for your child

You can create an id without accredit card that might be what you want. Ten use that ID for your child's iMessage and iCloud and use your ID for iTunes and App Store on both phones. That way you can control what is purchased. I would set up restrictions on the kid's phone with a pun that you only know and durn off in app purchases

Cannot set child's birth date while creating Apple ID for iOS 8 family sharing

Just upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 8 and am in the process of setting up Family Sharing. I want to create an Apple ID for my 13-year old. For some reason iOS doesn't let me enter the birthday properly. It keeps rolling back to 18 September 2001 (exactly 13 years ago today). My kid's birthday is several months earlier.
iOS does let me choose any later date, e.g. in November 2001 or 2011. But as soon as I choose a date earlier than 18 September 2001, iOS rolls back to 18 Sep 2001.
Since children under 13 are not eligible, it seems that only children that are EXACTLY 13 years old today (happy birthday!) can get an Apple ID.
Must be a bug, right?

If they are 13 they would obtain a normal Apple ID (13 is the age cutoff historically for an Apple ID). They should create one normally and then you can associate it with your account. I don't know if purchase control will work with that.
