• iCloud family sharing Question

  Dear Apple,

  My name is Noah Gilbert, and I happen to be the Expert IT with our family.

  Unfortunately, for these past years, our family of 4 shared an Apple ID and somethings happened.

  When one of us call each other, that the contacts of the things up, and also when you go in recent, there are people that I didn't call, but have called others in our family, and it's something that are not nice and also very scary.

  I read upward on your iCloud, sharing of family and are generally fascinated on this subject, but when diving into the details, it's when it gets a bit murky.

  If all 4 of us was to create an Apple ID and had to get the sharing of the family, what would happen to all of our data.

  The main question is:

  What would happen to all our Contacts, Mail, calendar, iTunes purchases and also the App Store purchases?

  Also, when it would be and current execution, will be our contacts and the stuff of colander, be separated into different lists of info.

  I would really appreciate it if someone from this community come back to me, please.

  Thank you

  First, everyone should have their Apple ID individual to avoid confusion you describe above.  If that were the case, then all the Contacts, calendar, e-mail, purchases of App Store and iTunes purchases will be remained connected to these accounts; under family sharing, however, there are some things that can and cannot be shared.  You can have a read more about it here - What are the types of content can I share with sharing family?-Apple Support

• Family sharing - need help to accept sharing family invite

  Hello

  I'm trying to:

  1. establish the family shares with three children (minors).

  2. take the music and previously purchased content and add it to the family sharing

  I created a separate child account, but now, I can't seem to find a way to accept the invitation of sharing of the family on the previous Apple ID (related to the nano to my son).

  Any help?

  Thank you very much!

  iPods (which are not on the iPod touch) are not related to an Apple ID (they may be associated with an iTunes library).  If the iPod nano is probably not involved in your question.  In addition, there is no separate steps to add content previously purchased the family shares.

• Extremely confused by the family sharing

  I'm trying to set up a family music subscription and it was extremely unpleasant and difficult.  I have music works on my iPhone (organizer), but on my child iPad mini, when I pull up the music, he doesn't seem to have a subscription (request 3 month trial).  I've been going in circles for a few hours now trying to figure out what I did wrong - I have set up a group family, turned on sharing, etc..

  My question is this: when I open the family member in icloud on his iPad, under purchases families, this account must be of the organizer or the Member of the family.

  Should I be signed in his iTunes on the iPad?  I found the idea of the family sharing that each could have their own accounts and purchases and subscriptions could be shared.

• Family sharing - child accounts are adults

  We have four adults Apple ID all related to the same family sharing.  I created the ID Apple before family sharing the existence when I created two accounts for my children so I did the adult accounts (if I remember correctly, when I tried specifying their actual birthdates he told me that the miners could not have Apple ID...).  In any case, this is the current configuration, the family shares with everyone as an adult ID.

  I have two specific questions.

  1. How can I force all purchases to devour the credit on my ID?  My account is the "Organizer" and I have a credit of $30 on my account, but the other day my son (who is an adult Apple ID) bought a game and he charge my credit card $1.06 instead of take it from my account credit (his account has no credit balance).  I guess it has something to do with the fact that his ID is an adult instead of the child...  No indication as to how I should proceed?

  2. the two children just got several gift cards so that they will be adding credit balances to their identity papers.  According to me, this means that whenever they purchase something it will use up to their credits before it charges my card.  Is this correct?  And if so, it brings back me to question 1, once they use their entire balance how can I force it to use my credit on my account before it charges my card?

  Thank you!

  You are right #2.  If they have in-store credit, which will be used for purchases before going to the credit card of the Organizer.

  There is no way to get their purchases to use your store credit.

• Family sharing and creation of local Web site/blog

  Hello...

  I have been looking online and have not found what I'm looking for... Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology in my query. I hope this is something already available and I don't know where to find it on the machine...

  We have an iMAC with the recent update.
  I want to create a family blog on the iMAC, that would 'feel' like a Web site - where I can post family updates, calendar, news, academic results and achievements, photos, a family journal, recipes, etc... each topic under a different title, which open as tabs in the browser, in order to avoid having to open different applications for this information. But I want all to reside on our family computer. It is accessible directly from the machine at home, nothing online.

  I am familiar with wordpress.com, but once again, I want to keep this content just us.

  I am listed with family sharing and iCloud, Apple has something that does what I'm looking for, but I ask just the wrong question.

  Thank you

  Penny

  No, please read that sharing of the family is in OS X Yosemite: set up the sharing of the family. If you want to set up a blog, you need a blogging app and a place to store. I advise to use Google to research what you need. I found the following article by doing a quick search on Google that you may find useful.

• my daughter has every music we want to pass the family sharing the will she lose her purchases

  my daughter has every music we want to pass the family sharing the will she lose her purchases

  Mvangordon,

  She will be able to keep all purchases on his account.  See this document:

  Family shares - Apple Support

  Note that "all eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books and applications already bought by members of the family are immediately available for everyone in the family."

  In the future if she leaves the group sharing of the family, she is no longer able to share purchases, but she will always keep its own.

• Family sharing woes

  I like the idea of family sharing, but is it possible that my 17 year old son can participate in sharing family so he can take advantage of our subscription iTunes but allow him to make purchases with his iTunes account? I have the family facility and everybody sharing

  Hello blmclaws,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see you want to add your son to share your family enjoy the iTunes subscription, but make purchases with their iTunes account. How the family sharing is set up, all purchases are made with the credit card provided by the Organizer. The exception is that if a member has a credit on his iTunes, usually by a gift card account, then purchases will come from this credit until the credit card of the Organizer is responsible. Thus, in the case of your son, he could buy gift cards and add them to their account before shopping. In this way, the Organizer will not be charged.

  For more information, see the following:

• family sharing in iTunes

  Is there a way to family-part between the two apple belonging to the same individual id?

  Yes, there is no reason why you can't invite you to join the family sharing if you have a second ID, people often make this option to retain access to iTunes content purchased through several accounts.
