Why can't I change my date of birth on my apple ID?

My brother and I used to share apple ID, and it was registered on him, now when he doesn't use apple products anymore (long story) he gave it to me to use for myself. Problem is though, I can't update my date of birth. I can change everything but that. Everytime I try to update it a window puts up asking if I want to save the changes, I click 'yes' but still nothing happens. what is the problem?

Hello,
How di you try to change the date of birth ?
I would suggest to login on this page : https://appleid.apple.com (choose Manage your account)
Choose Password and Security (at the left of the page)
Change your birthdate and click on the blue button Save
Hope this will help.

  • Why can't I change the date format in my documents?

    Good Morning.  I submitted this question yesterday to the iMac forum but no one could help me.  It should  be a very simple thing to do but it escapes me.
    Using 'Insert Date' brings up the long date format i.e.  Tuesday April 16 2013.  I prefer the short format 16.04.13.
    I have tried to change this by going through the procedure System Preferences > Date Time.  The default format in that window is the one I want but it does not appear in my Pages or Numbers documents.  I then tried Systems Preferences > language and Text > Region > Customise I made sure I was in the correct region and selected the short date format.  Still get the long format in the documents.  I can edit this on the fly by right clicking the date but the next time I use 'insert date'  it reverts to the long format.  Now I'm the first to admit I am probably missing something really simple but could somebody plesae point out to me what it is 'cos it's driving me mad.

    Hi Wilfred,
    Three issues here.
    1. Setting the short and long dates in System Preferences. See fruhulda's answer: Copy and paste to shift the dates position. [Nice one, fruhulda!]
    2. Locking those changes in (restart your computer). See Jerry's first answer.
    3. However I do not get that window that you show where it saysset to today and gives you those options which you can tick. This has nothing to do with System Preferences. That window is what you get in Pages when you double-click or right-click or Control-click the date object to bring up the options. See Jerry's last answer.
    If I could try everyones patience a bit further.
    No worries mate.
    Regards, Ian.

  • Why can't I change the alternate email address on my Apple ID account. It doesn't belong to anyone in my home?

    I can't change my Apple ID alternate email address it's greyed out. Why?

    If you have 'Find My iPad' activated on the iPad it will cause this problem. You will have to contact Support for help. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'More Products and Services', then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • HT204053 Why can you not change a @me email account inside my Apple ID?

    I have an iphone 4S and access the cloud from a standard lap top and a standard desktop (not apple) and get confused with the other feeds, and I do not want an alias.
    I simply want to use the same Apple ID and I just simply want to delete the @me email account associated with it and start a new one.
    Is this possible? If not, as I beleive the case, why not?

    Open a new account and stop using the old one, you cannot delete the account but you can ignore it.

  • Why can't I change my rescue email address for my apple ID account?

    The email address I would like to use as my current rescue email address used to be my alternative email address.  I switched my alternate email address, but it still won't let me set it as my current rescue email address.  It is an icloud account.  When I did the same thing with my gmail account (took it off the alternate and changed it to the rescue) it worked.  Is it just the icloud account that doesn't work? My gmail acccount used to be an alternate address too.

  • HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

    Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
    iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups. 
    Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
    The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad.  (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
    I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone.  You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
    Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

    iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
    Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

  • Why can't I set month,date and time on my imessage?

    Why can't I set month, date and time on my imessage?

    The way the date/time was displayed was changed in iOS7. There had been numerous complaints about not having a date/time stamp on all posts, so it was changed to display the time for all by sliding the post to the left. They left the date stamp to show differently. I couldn't tell you what it does for posts more than a week old, as I never save my messages that long.
    Meg's post provides for software where you could move the SMS to the computer and it should contain a full date/time stamp on it.

  • How can I change the date of birth on my child's Apple ID?

    HI,
    My son's school have started an initiative where they use iPads as part of their lessons, and subsequently my son has a brand new iPad through the scheme.
    The setup guide that the school supplied directed us to enter the parent's date of birth and the student's name to set up an Apple ID.  However, since setting his iPad up we have become aware of Family Sharing when we setup our old iPad for his younger brother, and the ability to create an Apple ID for a child.  We would obviously like the same level of protection and security for both children, not to mention restricting any accidental purchases!
    Is there any way to change his date of birth from mine to his?  I have read other similar posts with the best solutions apparently to fudge the date of birth so that the child is older than 13 years old.  I would like to do this properly rather than lie about his age...
    Thanks in advance

    You can not change the date of birth on the account. You are explicitly told this when the account is created.
    The ID you created is yours, not your son's. If your son is under 13, then to claim it is your son's ID is to say that you committed a crime when you created it. Create a new account for your son.
    Inform the school that if they are instructing parents to do this because the children are under 13, they are potentially criminally liable. They should know better.

  • Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."
