Q: setting up an iphone 4s for my daughter
my wife has purchased an new iphone 5s and we have decided to give my daughter the old iphone 4s with a new sim card. She is 11 years old. I have been trying for two days now to set this up using family sharing to allow her to share my Apple ID. I seem to be nearly there but the server keeps crashing at the end and starts the process over again. Each time it asks me to create a new apple id for her. Ive been through at least 3 now and we are entering silly name territory.
Am i missng something obvious.
Apple products are fantastic, but crikey they do no how to make things difficuly and frustrating.
1. she already had an apple id using a gmail, why will this not work. She uses this on her ipad.
2. Having created a few new apple IDs for her, why will it not recognise these when I start over
3. Having changed my App store paymenty method to a credit card to prove I am an adult, will I have the option to change this back.
4. Should I just lie about her age and make her 13 years old? Will this cause complications
