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:
Best regards.

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

Hello Copale,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to keep your music and other purchases organized, and I maybe some information which will help. When you start a family membership Apple music shared purchases will be available to other members of the family. You are not required to share all purchases and shared purchases are not automatically downloaded to all devices. You are given the option to download.
For more information on the person of the family memberships share purchases, take a look at the article below, and if you're having trouble, the entire community is here to help.
Manage your membership Apple music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC

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.

Family, sharing, but not IOS apps

Turn on downloads automatic for the iTunes Store, App Store and iBooks Store purchases - Apple Support Settings - iTunes and App Store - automatic downloads / Apps

Trying to give my daughter my old iPad. Set up a family sharing. Cannot delete photos
This turns into a real pita. I created a family sharing for the old iPad, which is very low on space, I'm empty I can't seem to get rid of the pictures, it is probably better just to get rid of the entire library, but everything appears. Can't delete the photos that would take years to do anyway if it worked the same. Disable all options photo to iCloud and turn their back on did nothing
It is perhaps best to follow this approach: what to do before you sell or give away your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

We have updated the phone on itunes and its not updated it to ios8 one had success with this?
Thank you
Hello evechoccy!
Thanks for reaching out on the share of the family option does not arise with the iPhone of your son 4.
The reason for this is the iPhone 4 can only go to iOS 7 and sharing of the family did not become an option until iOS 8 and later versions. You can see the family sharing requirements here: family shares - Apple Support
Kind regards.

added to the family sharing with strangers
I received a notification on my iPhone that I had been added to the family sharing and just assumed that it was an announcement of a new feature of Apple. Shortly after, I received a notification that a name I didn't recognize left my family. I went into my settings and saw that I was on a list with a few people at random. I left the band and changed my password to iCloud. No idea how it happened, or if I need to worry about what anyone?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Unless you accept an invitation to join the family sharing, the administrator had to know your password for to add you themselves. If that's what happened, and you don't really know these people, then you must immediately change your password.
Of course, it is possible that someone invited you by mistake.
