I have an apple account from an iPod I had years ago. My child has a school issued iPad. I want to create an apple id for my child so she can install apps on her iPad.
How can I create this account for her as I do not have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
Set the birthdate when creating the Apple ID to at least 13 so you can create it. You can also create it at https://appleid.apple.com
As long as you control the Apple ID, the actual age is not that important.
Then you can set purchases to require your password always, and set restrictions on the device in Settings->Screen Time->Content & Privacy Restrictions if they are not already set by the School.
You would need to sign into Settings/Your Name/iCloud on the iPad to set it up.
There may be a problem with purchases. When the child wants to buy something if you can't receive the notification to approve, you may need to sign in and buy the app so it can then be shared under Family Sharing.
You can create an Apple ID directly on the iPad in Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Create
It will need to have an age over 13 years old however to be created on its own.
She is under 13 years of age. It is not permitted.
This is helpful, but how do I turn on Family Sharing if I don't own an Apple device myself?
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > [your name]. Then tap Set Up Family Sharing > Get Started, then follow the onscreen steps. If you have iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Set Up Family Sharing, then follow the onscreen steps.
She is 11 years old. Is there a way to create an account for her?
To create a 'legal' ID for her, you need to set up Family Sharing and create her ID as a Family member.
