Why can't my kids get their own apple ids?

My kids are getting an error when trying to create their own apple ids?  Why?  The error message said due to age.  What is the age minimum and is it based on age in email?

You must be 13 years or older. You should set up the IDs for them using your information, since you will be supervising the accounts.

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

  • HT3529 i (the parent) wants to keep my apple id for my stuff but have my sons have their own apple ids for their ipod touch's.  how do i do that?

    does anyone have a good way to do this?

    I have the same question.  My son and daughter both received iPod Touch devices.  I did not want to create a new Apple Id for each of them,  I want to manage any application aquisitions and do not to have repurchase numerous apps I bought over last year on my iPhone for the kids to play with.  Bottom line, is it impossible for for my kids to have these devices with the same Apple ID as my iPhone/iTunes account?

  • Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses. 

  • HT5622 We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids? Thank-you

    Thank-you

    1. Yes, it is.
    2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.

  • We are using one apple ID and password for 5 devices. I would like to know how to give my children their own apple ID to use on their I touches. Can I do this without them loosing all their contact details, music and games? Any help much appreciated.

    We Have set up 5 differNet apple devices ( iPhones, I touches and iPad) so that they all use the same apple I'd and password. I would now like to give each family member their own apple I'd and password. Can I do this without loosing any of the data on each persons gadget? Thanks!

    I think I will do this.  I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently.  That solves one problrem.  My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

  • My kids have their own AppleIDs but have entered my credit card info to make purchases from their own devices. How do I remove my credit card information to prevent them charging to my card?

    Hi Sconnor_USA,
    You may be able to select None as a payment method, rather than having a credit card on their accounts with this article:
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    If you cannot select none, this article should provide more information on why:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • How do i get my two kids there own apple ids

    I got both my kids iphone 5s but cannot get their own ids because they are still minors - what are my options other than lying about their age.

    You only need to be 13 to have an apple id. I would say getting a 600$ phone for a kid younger than that is crazy, but it is your choice. Just create new email addresses for yourself and use them to register new apple ids for yourself and let each kid use one.

  • HT2736 I have a $100 card from apple when I bought a macbook this summer.  I want to share the amount between my two kids -- 1 who has I-pad, other kid has macbook.  They have their own apple ID's assoc. w/ their device.  May I pass on the balance to them

    A gift card can only be redeemed onto one account, it can't be split between accounts and it can't be used to gift amounts and/or items to other accounts (gifting can only be done via a credit card).

  • My husband shares my Apple ID  but now I see that this causes problems so how can I take him off my account so he can get his own  Apple ID ?

    My husband shares my Apple ID but now I see that this causes problems.   So how can he get his own Apple ID for his device?

    I agree that having separate Apple IDs is a good idea. It helps keep things from getting confused between two user who might have different needs and wants on their devices.
    You husband should save and backup to a computer all the files, photos and music that he wants to keep. He should also save any files created with the apps on his device. Once that is done he can use the Settings app to erase his device.
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings
    He can then set up his device as new and create an Apple ID for himself. Once the device is up and running he can purchase and/or download the apps he wants and sync with a computer to restore the photos, files, etc.
    To make syncing easier, with two Apple IDs, I suggest that you each use a different computer to sync with OR you have separate accounts on one computer. This way there will be two separate iTunes libraries and syncing with each will be straightforward.

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • I have two cell phone, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

    Have two cell phones, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other.  But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone?  Thanks.

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.
