Can other family members download app I bought?

Is it possible (and legal) for other family members to download an app I bought? For example, can I log in on their computer with my apple id and download the app without messing anything up?

Hi,

  • My mac's software is only available under my profile on MacBook pro. How can other family members get to the optional SW logged in under their own profile

    Is there a way to share purchased SW under mote than one profile on the MacBook pro?
    Thanks

    If the software is in the HD>Applications folder it's available to everyone. If for some reason you put software into User>Applications folder it will be available only to that user.

    Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.

    Can I use my find my phone on my iphone or iPad to find other family members I phones if they have their own apple id's etc?

    If they have Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone enabled on their phones and you know the id that it's linked to and the account's password then you can use the Find My iPhone app on another device to try and locate them.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses. 

  • 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?

    Good day,

    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.

  • My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why?

    My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why? I have home sharing on so my MacBook pro, iPad, and iPhone can be put on my tv. How do I only contol my devices?

    Lots of questions but essentially you want to try three steps:
    Reset the power on the device
    - issue continue?
    Reset all settings from: Settings > General > Reset all settings > Reset All Settings
    - issue continue?
    Restore the devices software: Settings > General > Restore > Retore
    - issue continue?
    You likely have a hardware issue. Visit an Apple Retail Store

  • I can't update the downloaded app while can install the new other app

    I can't update the downloaded app while my id and password is correct. When I complete the password, it seems updating app but nothing change and it takes only shot time. But I can do the same for install other new app from iTunes with no problem. So now my phone has lots of unupdated app.
    Before this problem occur, my appleID has a problem. It can't sign in although I fill the correct password. It bring me to answer security question but it's wrong. So I choose to unlock my Apple ID by reset password via reserved email. It can complete the process but seems to be I create the new Apple ID although that ID is same as the previous one. After that I can't update app anymore.
    Could anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

    If you're a school, Apple has a trade-in program for educational institutions you could look into to upgrade to newer iPods:
    http://www.apple.com/education/docs/Apple-Trade-InProgram.pdf
    Otherwise there's nothing Apple could tell you other than sell the iPods or find a reseller willing to accept them on trade. A first-generation iPod touch will not run any version of iOS later than 3.1.3, and a second generation iPod touch nothing later than 4.2.1. There are still apps that run on those versions, but they're getting fewer and fewer. Getting newer iPods is going to be your only avenue to being able to run more current apps. And if you do, I'd advise expecting only a two-year lifespan out of them, at least as far as keeping up with the latest version of iOS and apps is concerned.
    Regards.

  • I am the administrator of my computer with other family members having accts. One member is grayed out and no one can access that acct.  Why and what do I do about it?

    I am the administrator of my iMac with other family members having accts.
    One members acct. is grayed out and cannot be accessed by anyone except him.
    I had put parental controls on it but now I cannot access it or change anything.
    I don't have permission.??

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I share songs with other family members?

    I would like to know how I share songs and movies with other family members who have different accounts.

    - Sync them from a computer. You can sync music and videos from different computers/iTunes library manually. See the manual method  included in:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    - You can also redownload the directly to a device if the device ha iTunes 5 or later by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    However, you may end up with the 90 day wait to. See:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

  • Family sharing not showing other family members' purchases

    I installed Family Sharing about a week ago.  It worked great, and everyone was able to download music (didn't try apps). Now not listing any family members under Purchased in iTunes (whether on Mac or iOS).  Same for other family members.   In app store, I see other family members listed, but, if I click on it, it says they have no purchases (clearly not true).  Tried all hints at If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support with no luck.  Also, fully disabled family sharing and then re-invited everyone, but still no luck.  Any idea how to correct this issue?

    I have the same issue. I can see my wife's purchases but on her phone, it says that I have no purchases. I also tried If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support and disabling family sharing and re-inviting her. I would also like to know how to fix this.
