Dec 27, 2013 11:31 AM in response to pdrothby fgddyjktbn,@pdroth. Displayed name as in when you sign up for a apple id you sign up with email and a screen name(this is your display name). If you are using any apple device as like you do with an android device you have to sign in with either your google acct for android or apple id for a apple product. If one apple product is utilizing that apple id already aka Iphone and you can't set up a account for your child because of his or her age because of age restrictions, both devices will use the same info. So for instance when using things like facetime instead of seeing jane doe calling jane doe(basically making it show name of other person using your account instead of seeing your own name) can you make on jane doe and one john doe using the same apple id just different outgoing display name. Hopefully this helps.

Dec 27, 2013 12:44 PM in response to pdrothby fgddyjktbn,That is the problem we don't want to use one of our email addresses as it mirror's our info in his device and he can't have his own email because of age restrictions

Dec 27, 2013 12:46 PM in response to fgddyjktbnby pdroth,I don't think you're following me - set up an email address for him, but obviously do it as if it were for you so you can get around the age restriction. Then, just don't set up the email on his phone. You keep track of the ID and manage it for him.
