Q: setting up children on ipod
-
May 25, 2014 8:47 AMby lllaass,- You can create Apple ID but you have to create it in your name and supervise its use.
Purchases are locked to the account that purchased them and can't be moved to another ID/account.
I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for them in your name using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
