'Ask to buy' requests not being received

Any ideas?
I'm not getting the ask to buy requests through from my kids? (They are showing as my family etc)
Thanks

Same issue here. I have a kid set up and have the "ask for permission" option on. Everything seems to be set properly, but when app or update permission requests are sent to me (the parent), I never get the alert to approve. It seemed to work once on the day after ios8 launched, but over the weekend it did not work...and continues not to work.

"Ask to buy" requests not appearing in notification center (family sharing)

I understand that if one misses an "ask to buy" request from a family member from the lock screen, it is supposed to be available in the notification center. However, these requests are not being logged in my notification center. There doesn't seem to be a setting in Settings to turn on or off these type of notifications.
Any idea why they are not appearing in the notification center?

Hi,
Same issue here. I've logged in and out of the AppStore and still the same issue. I have 3 kids, each with their own device, and each one is REQUIRED to "Ask to Buy". Neither my wife or I get any notification to approve. I've checked my Mac as well as the Family Sharing on both iPhone 6's and everywhere shows our family listings correct.
It cannot be THIS HARD to figure out. Apple must be having some issues, however this is extremely frustrating. No one can buy any apps?!??!?! You'd think they'd like to sell more stuff?!
Please help! Now my son needs apps for school and he cannot get them on his iPad. Even on the App store it says "approve on this device with parent" and that link won't work.
Thanks.

HT201089 Why as the organizer am i not receiving the ask to buy requests

I am the organizer and i am not receiving the ask to buy requests. I removed my wife as a parent to see if that was the problem but she is still receiving the request and i am not. what do i do?

I also had problems with Ask to Buy when I first set-up family sharing . My issue was that the child devices they were being asked to put in the verification code of the credit card linked to the organiser's appleID before the request was sent. This made no sense - why would the child device need that?!
I checked that each device was set to the right account for icloud and itunes/app store, logged in and out etc but nothing seemed to work.
Eventually we tried simply entering the CCV on the child device and found that everything worked perfectly after this.
Hope this helps others with similar problem. Once set-up and working it is great.

I'm being asked to enter my ID password on my ipad for icloud, but the email is no longer active and reset remails are not being received.

I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad. thanks.

If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT201089 Ask to buy requests are not coming to me

When I but a tv show or movie using my son's iPad, an ask to buy request is supposed to come to me, correct? I'm the organizer. The requests are not coming to me. I've checked all my notification messages and there's no request for approval of the purchase. Any suggestions?

Without specifics the only thing that comes to mind if you did verify his age. Sorry thats all I got.

Email notifications not being received

Email notifications are not being received every time a customers submits data. We stopped receiving notifications after the email came about shutting down the service. We have a half dozen forms live on the web and none of them are sending out notifications. One example is located at Online Complaint | ORCAA. Nothing has changed from the backend and both email addresses that should receive notifications are verified.
I submitted data to the form and received a notification, but not the 2 email addresses that are listed on the FormsCentral backend. The Adobe domain is whitelisted with GApps.
Thoughts?

I've tested your form a bit and it seems that email receipts are working. For me to test email notifications I would need to be a co-author. If you can add me to one of the problem forms I will investigate further and let you know what I find.

Sharing photos by email - Emails are not being received

My photos which I have shared by email are not being received, even though I have a confirmation that they have been sent (one photo has been sent).
I am using a @me.com email address and I have tried to send a photo to myself and this has still not been come through.

Do you have iPhoto setup to email the photos itself or use Mail to email the photos?

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4. I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days. Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of. Please help if you've encountered this issue.

I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.

Samsung note II, known issue of aol mail not being received on phone

I spent hours on the phone with Customer Service this past Wednesday & Thursday because my aol mail is not being received on my new phone. I just did some research online, and found out this has been an issue with AOL and Verizon since December 2012. The Customer Service rep told me this just happened the past week! What a bold faced lie!
I purchased this phone on or about July 3, and the AOL mail was working fine until this past Wednesday.
This is a know issue, and yet the lie right to your face about it.
I had a C/S rep tell me he would call me back later in the day, before he left work. I told him, I have heard that before. Oh, no, I will call you. Of course he didn't call. Your C/S reps think they can say whatever they want, but the calls have been monitored or tracked someway by your computer system.
I see many others have the same problem with the Samsung Note II and their email accounts.
Since December this has been going on, don't you think it's time you fixed the problem?
Two years ago, when I spent $200 on a phone, I said never again. But yet I wanted a 5.5" screen so I paid up! Never again!

I FINALLY spoke to someone today who was able to solve my problem so far.
In the PLAY STORE....look for K9 email app.....and download that...put in your AOL email address and password. You should now be able to receive your aol email on your phone.
It seems he has a Note II also, and had the same problem.
You would think that MANAGEMENT would tell all their C/S reps how to solve the problem. I guess they would rather lose a customer who has been with them for 10 yrs.

Sent mail is not being received

Some of my emails use my me.com account are not being received by the recipient.
The emails show being SENT in my SENT box.

I have a similar but perhaps unrelated problem. Every now and then, I send an email on my gmail account using Mail. The sent mail appears in my sent box, but never arrives, and does not appear in my webmail sent box (where it usually does, using gmail). Most of the time it works, and it even works most of the time with people it has had a problem with, including mail I send to myself at work at my professional address. Usually arrives...but not always. I don't know how to trust my sent mail box without always going on the webmail to make sure it actually went out. I only have this problem when using the Mail application, but there are no other common characteristics (attachements, ISPs, etc) to say there could be a problem with one of those things. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a Galaxy S5 with Global International plan in place. My txt to Jamaica are not being received there, but others are. I can receive the messages, but not send. I get an msg saying, message to (my daughters number) failed: Network problem. Is there a setting in my phone I need turned on? Verizon customer service doesn't have any answers.

Hello ffdaisy! I sure hope you're having a great time in Jamaica! I'm so sorry about your messages. Let's get going on a resolution! to clarify, are you able to receive messages? Can you send to the states, but not to numbers originating in Jamaica? First, I want to let you know how to get in touch with our Global Support Team while outside the US. Just click here for the information: http://vz.to/18oaptS Second, I'd like to provide you with the dialing pattern for messaging to US numbers, and Jamaica nunbers. For the US, dial 1, then the area code, then the 7-digit number. for Jamaica numbers, dial area code 876, then the 7-digit number.

ICloud email with hyperlink not being received

I have tried several times to send an email with a link to a tumblr blog and it is not being received by the recipients.
It is in my sent items and I have not received a notification to say it has not been sent. If I send the same email without the hyperlink they recieve it.
What is stopping this email from being sent properly and why am I not receiving a notification to say otherwise.
Thanks.

It's probably being caught by a spam filter somewhere along the way. Spam filters don't usually send notifications to the alleged sender or the nominal recipient.

Group addressed e-mails not being received

My new iPad seems to be receiving e-mails that are specifically addressed to me just fine. But, I have noticed that e-mails addressed to a group of recipients (including me) are not being received on my iPad while my computer does. For example, my employer will send out an e-mail to all of the employees (as a group). I can view the e-mail on my computer but the iPad doesn't receive it. And, I'm using the same e-mail account on both. Why?

OK, I've worked out how to set up a sub - account.
BUT
Concerned that if I set one up it will impact on my current BT Yahoo account, ie could e mails be diverted or will the sub account only be used to persons I share it with? The BTYahoo sub-account is a stand alone account and will only get emails that are addressed to it. If you want emails from it to go to your main account you would need to set up a forwarding rule.
Also if/when I get replies will I see them on my normal BTYahoo e mail "In Box" page or on a different page? No. You would only see them in your "normal" email inbox if you do as I suggest above and have them forwarded to your "normal" BTYahoo email. If you don't do that the sub-account email behaves in the same manner as any other email account and you would need to log onto it to see the emails.
Also
Do you think it will solve the question posed above? You would need to establish what the problem is in the first place such as are the notifications being blocked by your spam filter, are they being sent etc because the same thing could happen if you have them sent to your new sub-account email.
