Can family members share rental movies?

Hi!
I wonder if family members (using the Family Sharing feature) can watch rental movies. When I search the internet, I have found info that says one can do so. But it does not work.
My husband and I have set up Family Sharing (and the credit card that pays for it all, is mine), bit it is not possible for me to see the movie he have rented. I can see all his music and visa versa, but not the rental movies.
I find this strange, and not in line with the intention Apple has proclaimed regarding Family Sharing. I pay for the fun, but am not able to watch???
Or is it suppose to work, but does not because of a bug?

Just tested this.  You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase.  You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

  • HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

    How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

    I have a similar problem.  The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
    I have a problem with both of these solutions!  The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either.  But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
    Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!

    If you've rented and downloaded it directly on your iPad then it should be in the Videos app :
    Is it in there ?

    I don't know much, but I can follow instructions. How can I get my rental movie from my iPhone to my iPad.... And I've rented another movie, now I want to get it from pc to iPad....help be much appreciated...

    Did you rent the film directly on the iPhone ? I've never rented films, but from : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    If you've rented a film on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to sync it to your iPad from your computer's iTunes via the Movies tab that shows on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on its left-hand side

  • Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

    I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible.  The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time.  If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
    I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
    Can somebody else confirm this could be done?

  • HT204264 Can family members be given access to my icloud library

    We have over 100Gb of photos on our library, I want to put it into the iCloud photo storage, but the main benefit for us would be to give access to all the other family members to be able to share it on their devices.
    We don't want to all synchronise our phones/ipads on the same machine though, hence using the iCloud Photo storage seems to present a good option if it can be done.

    Thanks Winston, I suspected as much.
    It seems silly that you can't nominate more than one user to an iCloud photo library and such a big opportunity.
    I can share my payment functions, so your kids, wife, partner etc can use your payment... but you can't share a library.  Go figure.

    Hi Niel.  Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy?   1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library?  2 - How do you organize the library?  3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs?  Thanks

  • Does Family Sharing let family members share iCloud storage?

    i Have 200 Gb in my iCloud plan. I am using 20 Gb of that. Can my family members use the other space, or does everyone need his or her own drive?

    Storage amount can not be shared currently.

  • Can two family members share downloads on different accounts in different states?

    My daughter and I have shared the same itunes account for years.  Now she has her own itunes account and has moved to Ohio.  Can't we still share songs that she buys from her account and that I buy from my account?

  • Can my family members share our purchases on separate computers with separate accounts?

    We have several apple products in our home and a  new one today.  Is it possible to use these products on different computers sharing all of our purhcases or do we need to stay on one computer on one account?  I know we can do that with the home sharing, but we don't all want all the same things, just some of the purchases.

    Use Find My Friends app instead.   Much easier to manage, and you won't need each other's id/pw's to do it.   They only need to accept your invitations and vice versa.

  • HT1657 Can I watch a rental movie in my iPad when in an airplane with the airplane mode on?

    I rented a couple of movies hoping to watch them in the plane and all it says is it can not open when I try to watch.... Is there a way to watch rented movies in airplane mode?

    Actually, I just called AppleCare and they told me that an Internet connection was required. I tried it anyways. Once the rented movie is fully downloaded onto your iPad, it will appear in the Videos app, in the Rentals section. From there, even if you turn the airplane mode on, you should be able to press the play button and watch the movie. Note that I rented the movie in HD format and that I use the iPad 3rd generation.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
