How to hide devices on Find My phone with Family Sharing?

So we have ios8 family sharing activated. My kids have their own Apple ID's so when they log in to icloud.com and go to Find My Iphone, all our devices show up there so any person in our family can see them and also Erase data from a device. I really did not want my kids to have the ability to log in and Erase/Wipe my device since they can see it. Is there some option so that parents of the Family Share can either hide devices from appearing on their kids Find My Iphone screen, OR turn off the ability for kids to Wipe device data from Find My Iphone?

I could be mistaken, but even though it shows up for them, they would still need your AppleID and password to erase the phone.

How can you use an I-pod nano with family sharing?

My daughter (under 13) has an IPod Nano, fairly recent generation. She doesn't really want a Touch because she like the radio feature when on the go with her Nano (long commute on public transit to and from school) but also wants fresh music of her own for when the radio is all talking. Family Sharing sounds perfect. Can she access this? Or should I set up an account and she uses ITunes on her computer to Family Share and then download the songs onto her IPod Nano from there? Or can I just not use Family Sharing unless I buy her a Touch and she loses access to the radio? Thanks!

An iPod nano can't connect to the Internet on its own; all the music on it needs to have been transferred from a computer.

my ipad and mac was stolen. in Find my phone erase was enabled, when ipad was found as everything was erased, could not be located. i don't want that to happen with my (ex) Mac, how to disable erase from find my phone.

Do not use Erase. Instead use Lost Device. However, if the items are automatically erased then you cannot locate them nor change the setting.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

TS4006 Should the name of my ipod appear in the devices in find my phone ? My ipad does but my ipod doesnot

Should my ipod name appear in the devices in Find My Phone or should it just say ipod

It will if:
- You are logged in to iCloud with the same Apple iD as your iPad: Settings > iCloud > Sign in
- You have Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings on the iPod: Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone - On
- You are connected to WiFi

HT201365 How to use Find my Phone with secondary iCloud account in iOS 7

The ability to use Find my Phone with a secondary iCloud account has been removed in iOS 7. I want to be able to track my children's phones, but don't want to share an iCloud account with them. They know I am tracking their phones, and this worked fine for us prior to iOS 7. On their phones, I had Find my Phone turned off under their iCloud, and then added my iCloud to their phone as a secondary account, and turned Find my Phone on under my iCloud account. When I would launch Find my Phone on my phone, it would show me the location of all of my devices and of their phones.
In iOS 7, Find my Phone is not listed under the secondary account. What is the workaround for this? I know that I can go to a PC and log into their iCloud account and see Find my Phone that way, but I can't do that from my iPhone because it is linked to my iCloud account.
Can I link two or more iCloud accounts in the Find my Phone app on my phone?

Just ignore any prompts you get. Don't click the move to iCloud button and don't visit me.com/move. Just keep using mobileme as you have been.
The ONLY clickable button is "Open iCloud.com". I have NO other options. (Using Mac OS on a MacPro)
( somehow my reply was marked as a correct answer, I did not do this, and I can find a way to remove it.)

You can't use find my phone from your phone if your other family members use another iCloud account.
You have two options depending on why you want to find the phones.
Use find my phone at iCloud.com on a mac/PC and log in using their account.
Use the find my friends app

Sorry, it can only be enabled on the device itself. You might also want to read this: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen.

You sould be able to sync both ways. Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar. Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone). Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device. The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
To answer your question, yes. There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account. The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

How do i approve my kids app purchases with family share

how do i approve my kids app purchases with family share on my iphone?

Hello andrewmarkp,
With Family Sharing, you can approve purchases with the Ask To Buy feature. The following article provides helpful information:
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Approving purchases with Ask to Buy
You can turn on Ask to Buy to require approval for purchases initiated by any family member who is under 18 years old.*
iOS 8
Tap Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap your family member's name.
Turn on Ask to Buy.
OS X Yosemite
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Click Manage Family and select your family member's name.
Select Ask to Buy.
Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.
If you don't wish to be billed for purchases initiated by a specific adult family member, you can remove that family member from the family group.
*Ages may vary by country or region.
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How do I delete a child apple id from family sharing

I have (please don't ask me how) doubled up my child's account under family sharing and need to delete one of them. How do I delete a child apple id in family sharing?
Any directions gratefully received. You do not get the normal remove button that you get for an adult.

Hello javyocks,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Concerning the issue with multiple Apple ID's, please look at the following:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Take care,
Alex H.
