    Has anyone been able to set it up? Since installing the GM I tried create an apple id for a child a few times but each time it says it needs a valid credit card in itunes and app stores.

    I've checked and checked again and my card info is definitely there, at first I thought it was something that wasn't activated yet but it's still the same now.

    I haven't actually set it up but have gone through the motions. It shows my visa card details (last four digits) & I've got to the 'Add Family Member' stage.

    Yeah it's the same on mine. Rang Apple this morning and they hadn't a clue but they said it will only work on other iOS 8 devices as well. He said he would look into it more and email me.

    Few hours later I got an email saying although there is a visa debit card on iTunes, a credit card is needed to create an Apple ID for a child under 13 in family sharing.

    I got the same error & have a debit card on file. Has anyone tried it with a pre pay credit card?
