At the moment, I can't download apps onto my phone. I'll be 18 next week, and my mom got me the new Nokia 920, but every time I try to download apps it says a parent needs to add me to My Family.

Every time I have tried getting onto My Family, it keeps telling me there is an error and to try again later. It's been 2 weeks since I got my phone and I still can't get onto My Family, or download apps!

Your parent needs to be the one to go to My Family, not you. You can't set up My Family if your account is a child account. Here's the info and FAQ: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp8/apps/my-family-on-the-windows-phone-website

You have to go into your email account that is attached to the windows account and change your age to 21. I am having the same exact problems with my Lumia 920 and I turn 18 soon.

    you can't, because otherwise child protection would be useless. – Jac Feb 28 '14 at 22:14
