Greetings Bigjammer007,


So I understand you are trying to set up your son's devices - an iPad and an iPod - with the same Apple ID and want to use them in a Family Sharing environment, is that correct?


First question - does your son already have an Apple ID? If not, and he is 13 years of age or older, he should follow the directions on this page to create one -


Create and start using an Apple ID - Apple Support


If your son is under 13 years of age you will need to create the Apple ID for him using the steps found here -


Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support


Once created, you or your son will need to set up each device with that Apple ID. Use the steps on this page -


Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.


Then set up the family group, if you have not already. See this page -


Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing


To set up an Apple ID on an iOS device such as an iPad or iPod touch, follow the directions on this page -




Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Be well,
