change birthday from adult to minor

My daughter set up her apple id as an adult. I want to change it to her actual bday as a minor. the setting will not allow me.


I get the error "Could not connect to iCloud - You are not eligible to create/edit an account at this time".


I have powered off/ on the device multiple times.


I have added and removed her from my family account at which point I can't change her dob. I feel like I am stuck in an endless loop.

Hey JR5151,


It sounds like you're looking to change the age for an Apple ID account. We can understand wanting to get that resolved. We want to help.


We'd recommend following the steps in this article: Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID


"Change a birth date for a child

To change a birth date to any age below 13,* you must be a member of a Family Sharing group, and your family organizer must approve the change. After you change a birth date to any age below 13, you can't edit it.* Learn more about Family Sharing

  1. Update the birth date.
  2. Follow the onscreen steps to send an email request to your family organizer.
  3. Your family organizer will get an email with instructions to approve the request. 

*Age varies by country or region. If you need to change the birth date for a child, contact Apple Support. "


Thanks!
