Hi, I am trying to sign out my child's account ID from our iMac so it can be restored but the in "Overview" the "sign out" button is greyer and can't be pushed. What I need to do?
iMac 27", macOS 10.15
I have 2 children with different Apple IDs and one iPad. Due to Screen Time restrictions they aren't allowed to sign out on their own. I found the leimobile website you posted helpful, but very cumbersome for children to switch accounts on the same device. I wish there was an easier way for children to sign in and out on their iPad like users on a computer can. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Yes, we are set up with Family Sharing and Screen Time is activated. According to the leimobile article, the parent has to turn off Screen Time for one to be able for them to sign out and let the other sign in and then reactivated. I'm just looking for a more streamlined approach for my kids to have their own "space" on the same device, but it doesn't look like iPads are set up for that.
Ahh, ok, so that shot my theory. Anyway, iPads are designed to be a single user system (unlike computers).
See if any tips here would be helpful:

Okay, so do you have it set up within family sharing?

(otherwise the minimum age is 13 and I am wondering if that has anything to do with your issue)
How's it going Alex?
Do your children have their own Apple ID? And what are their ages?
Yes, 2 separate Apple IDs, ages 10 and 11.
Thank you, that was perfect and confirms all my fears and frustrations, ha ha. We need to reevaluate everything. I appreciate your help!
You are welcome!
