If a child is gifted an iPod and a parent has no apple device how do they setup an apple account

Can an adult with no apple product create an Apple ID. My nephew received a iPod and needs parent account to download anything.

Apple only mentions doing this on Apple devices. Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support


You can call Apple and ask. I see various snippets talking about doing various Family Sharing related things on non-Apple equipment but nothing coherent that may help you.


Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
