We’ve tried setting up separate Apple ID for family members after originally sharing one . After 2 complicated attempts no solution. Still sharing texts, etc. What to do?

Tried repeatedly to set up separate Apple ID with family member using Apple tech support via phone.

No resolution. Can I bring my devises in to store and get this resolved? It’s a headache.

Can't leave empty Apple Family nor Join my spouse's Apple Family despite removing all other members. I am unable to leave an Apple Family even though I am the only account left and the organizer. I would like to join my wife's Apple Family Sharing where she already has everything set up, so I can manage my daughter's new iPad with her. When I hit the remove button, nothing happens. When I try to accept the invitation from my wife's Apple Family it tries to leave my Apple Family but then throws an error saying I cannot. For context: I had to spend 2 hours on the phone with Apple support two weeks ago to remove my daughter's old Apple account from this family, and then wait a week and a half for it to finally be done. (We're using a different email for her on my wife's Apple Family now, and all that's working fine.) They said this would work now, but clearly it is not. Thank you!

move child accounts Okay I have an apple ID as a parent account. I am maxed out on my family members. 2 of the children don't have the correct birthdays and have turned 18 already. they have their own apple IDs so I need to delete the children accounts out of my family. you are unable to delete the children accounts or remove them until the account bday is 18. the only option i was told by support is to move them to a different parent account. that would free up mine so i can add my youngest to the family. The problem Im having is I cant create a new apple ID without a phone number. when i try and use mine, i cant because its linked to my real apple ID. I dont know anyone with a phone number to use because everyone i know has an iPhone with their number linked to their apple IDs.

This is a user helping users with tech questions, we are not apple and apple do not read your posts here

guess you can try asking their support Get Support (apple.com),

or Contact - Official Apple

Support

or Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

if it was me then I would take these steps What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

to set a device which was to get a new appleID and be sure it was started 100% from scratch
