Hello,
i my nephew needs to sync his contacts. He is 10 years old. What do you recommend? He does not have an Apple ID or a Google ID because therefore you need to be at least 13 years old....
Tell him to wait three years as per the requirements.

... and if you are talking iphone to Mac, how can he have an iphone without an Apple-ID?? That would be zero apps, a pretty unlikely scenario with kids, surely?
His dad activated homesharing in itunes and so, he can access to the music and the apps of his dad and install it. If the boy wants a new game, his dad buys it, and then he can install it. He has an own account on the mac. So the local sync for Apps and Music is still working

Dec 31, 2013 4:53 AMby gumsie,Snozdop kind of answered your question earlier by noting that the account should be managed and Petermac87 did another half a job.
An AppleID is possible for under 13s assuming it's requested for education. (Have a look at this PDF link). Have a look here and here too.
It may prove to be a lot of hassle though, maybe more than it's worth if you have to go along with all the restrictions.

I began to look into it for my Nipper but it seems less easy than I wanted all in. In the end I just bought an iPad and used my details, (to buy apps and music if required), but put restrictions on and sourced an email from elsewhere for the child.
Excellent solution, Gumboot. You should post that to the New York Times. Congratulations on solving the thread and happy New Year.
Your friend

Dec 31, 2013 5:58 AMby wiredancer,.... after 126 pages of posts, you still have not realized what this thread is all about! We all know that there is numerous Cloud syncing solutions. But please, name me one usable local syncing solution?????? The only one that worked, was taken away from Apple without evident notice. Apple is trying to get people to use there iCloud solution, which is a Cloud, not a local syncing solution. And is not for free after 5G. Please help in posting any solutions for LOCAL syncing.

I think we should help the nephew and bring constructive solutions. I'll help translating the message: What "nephew" needs is LOCAL syncing!

How many times do you have to ask?

Local syncing in iTunes and the iPhone itself cannot cope with that amount of contact and calendar data anyway... iCloud couldn't cope with 5GBs worth of contact and calendar data either.
