  • Family iTunes accounts

    DS12 decided that he wants an iPod touch for Christmas. He has paid for half of it with his paper route and birthday money.

    Now, I need guidance on setting up iTunes and securing the iPod. We've already discussed that it doesn't go to school and it must be left downstairs when he goes up to bed.

    Please walk me through this as if I am an imbecile.

    ETA: I wrote this thinking you already have your own account...but maybe you are a non apple person. If so, disregard!

    I hear it's much better with OS8 if you have it installed on all participating family member devices.

    They've enabled family sharing on a single Apple ID and controls on an "admin" account for the family so you can put limits on your kids and say what goes on what device. It's the only reason I'm thinking of upgrading the whole family.


    That said, it can get really complicated quickly with a lot of heavy users and one Apple ID.

    I could advise but I'll see if some one with more knowledge of smaller kid users can chime in.
