Setting up iTunes Account for Ten Year Old??

I have a 10 year old daughter with an iPod Touch, and we have just given her a completely re-vamped Windows XP laptop. I've downloaded iTunes for her, but have not installed it as yet. What I am wondering is if I can install iTunes for her under her own name so she can sync her music with her iPod, but at the same time restricting purchases?
I do not intend to give her carte blache access to iTunes in terms of allowing her to purchase music, but I would like to set it up so that my Wife and I can log in and purchase music for her from time to time.
Thanks for your help.

You have to be over 13 to have your own account.

However you can set up a separate library for her which she can sync her iPod to.

Why would they?
Do you have Automatic downloads enabled? Note this only works for items purchased after it is enabled.
-> iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
Also, see this -> Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

Changing your Apple ID to your current, working email address will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address.

Setting up iTunes account for kids

What's the best way to set up iPod touch's for kids aged 11 and 10?
Should they have their own accounts so there's no worry about using my credit card? Do all the apps they download have to sync with my iPad.

I keep mine on my iTunes account so I don't have to track multiple accounts with separate purchases. All you need to do is go to Settings > Restrictions and enable a 4-digit PIN and disable certain features, like in-app purchases, forget itunes password immediately, delete apps, change accounts, etc. Add the account "find my iPhone" and then you can track where they are if needed too. By not allowing account changes, they can't add, delete, or chagne any email, calendar, or contacts accounts after it's setup.

Unable to create iTunes account for MobileMe Family sub-accounts

Greatings,
I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem. I am attempting to set up iTunes accounts for a family member who has a mobileMe sub account on my family pack. The MobileMe account works fine in all other respects except when I go to iTunes and enter the id and pass word I an taken to the screen to accept the terms of service and select the country (Canada in my case) and all goes well until I have to enter the address and billing info. At that point the system says sorry can't proceed try again some other time. several other times later it still won't work.
Is this a limitation of the sub-accounts on mobileMe?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I was having the same trouble with my MobileMe sub-accounts (MobileMe Family Plan). I went through all the support emails and calls with no success. I fixed the problem by removing the affected sub-account/email address and then re-established the same sub-account/email address. When you re-establish the sub-account/email address it will tell you that you cannot since it already exists - but there is an option to re-establish the sub-account/email address by entering the correct password. After I did this, I could manage the sub-account/email address with no problems whether it was in iTunes or in the management of the AppleID settings.

I've got twin 12 year old boys and want to set I tunes accounts for them both, I need to be able to administer any purchases as they will need to use my bank account. How can I do this?

What do you mean by administer?
When you set up the account you have to enter a birthday and it has to results in being 13 years old or older.
You can set a Restriction that hides the iTunes and App store and another one to prevent in-app purchases. See:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions

Why can't I set up an account for my 7 year old to redeem his gift card? Is there a way I can put it on my account but NOT use it for my purchases?

My 7 year old received a gift card, but I cannot set up an iTunes account for him to use it. When I redeem it on my account, a credit is given to my account against all purchases, including my own. If I want to purchase a song now, it will use HIS gift card to do it. I can't see any way to sidestep it so that I can charge my credit card until the credit on my account is all used up. I would like him to have his own account with the gift card so that I do not end up using it. Any way to do this?

Unfortunately, the minimum age is 13 for an iTunes account.

How do you set up an account for a 7 year old?

My seven year old has a login on the family computer and has received an iPad for her birthday and wants to download apps so she can enjoy it. When I attempt to set up an iTunes account for her, she is rejected because she is too young.
I would appreciate knowing if there is a solution other that falsifying her DOB.

Set up the account in your name and then allow her to access it as needed.

HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs. How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.

I reset my computer to orig manufacturers speifications and lost all my purchased Itune music before this year. I've been a member for ten years. Itunes does not have a record. Is there anything else I can do to get them back.

I had to reboot my desktop computer to original manufacturers specifications and all my purchased Itune music was deleted from my computer. I didn't back up my itunes because they advertise they keep a record of your purchased music. I contacted Itunes and they have stated they only have a record of purchases made this year. I've been a member for ten years. Any ideas on how to get back my purchased music? Also, I have an old Ipod Nano that I haven't used for quite some time because the battery didn't hold its charge, and it has some of my older purchased music. Itunes said I can't get the music on my old ipod downloaded back onto my computer, any ideas on this?

The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

How do I get music and games which I purchased for my daughter through my iTunes account onto her iPad mini but at the same time set up a separate iTunes account for her iPad?

My daughter used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account. She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account. I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff. If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her. How can I get round this?

Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.
