Hi there, I have set up my child with a "gmail" apple ID and now he has his own email address I would like to change the apple id to be the new email address. I have tried multiple times but it just says it can't be changed at this time. Any assistance appreciated. Thank you
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities BULLENFAMILY,
If you created an Apple ID for a child using a Gmail address, no additional steps would need to be taken.
Create an Apple ID for your child
If you need to change the Apple ID, but are unable to, the following information may be useful :
If you can't change your Apple ID
If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later.
If you see a message that the email address you want to use isn't available or is already in use, check that you or a family member aren't already using that email address with a different Apple ID. If a family member is using that email address, remove it from their account then try to use it.
In some countries or regions, you can use your phone number as your Apple ID. But if your Apple ID is an email address, you can't change it to a phone number.
You can find this information, along with guidance that may be helpful, on the following page: Change your Apple ID
We hope this helps!
