I'm trying to set up Family Sharing. My settings show that the people I chose are there but I don't see any shared information. How do I access the shared info? All computers are using Yosemite 10.10.1 and are new 13" MacBook Pros.

Hi wmcknigh,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article below should help you resolve the issue with shared content not appearing after setting up Family sharing on the MacBook Pros.
If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support

  • I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music

    I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music

    Hello hueycat,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you have enabled Home Sharing on your devices, but you are not seeing the option to share music.  To use Home Sharing, your devices will need to be on the same network.  I also have some additional suggestions to get you setup with Home Sharing.
    On the computer, I find it useful to have the Sidebar enabled so that you can see the iTunes libraries that are shared:
    In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Once you have that enabled, you should see the shared iTunes library in the Sidebar:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
    On your iPhone, I you can view the shared content in the Music or Videos app:
    iPhone
    With iOS 5 and later, tap [Music or Videos] > More... > Shared or tap iPod > More… > Shared with earlier versions of iOS.
    Select a shared library.
    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4557
    If you are using Home Sharing to transfer your iTunes Library from one computer to another, use the steps in the section titled “Home Sharing” in the following article:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Lastly, if you are not seeing your shared iTunes libraries at all, you can use the steps in the following article to troubleshoot Home Sharing:

  • HT4534 I'm just trying to get facetime on my macbook pro, but I don't see any way to do it, I'm going round in circles here. This store is the pits.

    How do you buy facetime and get it on your mac? I'm going around in circles trying to perform this task.

    Lezah,
    There is only one Facetime Application available as a download from the App store.  Fortunately, it is the one you need for your 10.6.8. MacBook.  It is actually known as Facetime for Mac.  If you go to the app store and search for Facetime, you should see it as an available download.  The cost was 99 cents when I downloaded it last year.

  • Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

    My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
    It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
    Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

    iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
    Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
    Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
    This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
    Are they there?

  • I don't see any way of configuring a web server in 10.9; this was always present in previous releases.  How to I set up a website on OSX 10.9.1?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard, where performance was great on my Mac Mini, to Mountain Lion, where performance is so bad that I'm now attempting a clean-install of Mavericks.  But, I don't see any way to set up my local website.  I don't see a Sites directory or any control in System Preferences to set up the web site.  How is this done in Mavericks?

    Yes, the functionality has departed System Preferences. Here is an updated guide to jump start your solution. It deals with the Terminal solution below.
    There are two approaches to launching a web server in Mavericks.
    Terminalsudo apachectl {start|stop|restart}

  • Most of my e-mail goes to Junk e-mail..please help! I have tried the rules...I don't see any rules to be removed. I went to the Apple store and they couldn't revolve the problem ...Help!!!

    Hello, I'm new in Apple Support Communities
    Most of my e-mail goes to Junk e-mail..! I have tried the rules suggestion as soluiton of the problem, but I don't see any rules to be removed. I went to the Apple store and they couldn't resolve the problem ...Help!!! Any other suggestion?

    Is it being marked by your email provider? Check the raw headers and see if there is an x-spam header.
    If so, you can disable Mail trusting spam headers in the Junk preferences.

    I am trying to set up family sharing and do not have the setup option when logged in, help!

    Hello Carney10,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When you say you do not have the setup option for Family Sharing, that seems like you log into the iCloud System Preference but the "Set Up Family" button is not there.
    Is your Mac updated to Yosemite?
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality.
    Where in the setup are the options not available or working?

  • I migrated info from a hard drive to a new mac under time machine. It says I have shared files, but I don't see the old info on the new machine. Where do I look for it ? How do I make the old backup the base for my new macbook ?

    I migrated info from a hard drive to a new mac under time machine. It says I have shared files, but I don't see the old info on the new machine. Where do I look for it ? How do I make the old backup the basis for my new macbook ?
    The old OS was Mac X 10.5.8.   I think the new one is  10.7.2     Lion.

  • TA38556 I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network. How do I accomplish this with ap

    I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network before access the internet. How do I accomplish this with apple? Please help.

    There are some other options to you, if you're not at home and nobody is using your router you could set it up at the hospital, if this isn't an option you could get a second router and use it.  Many ethernet routers are available on the cheap, and ethernet cables are cheap too.
    Also, a macbook can share it's internet via the built in wifi it has.  See this go to settings-sharing-internet sharing and configure as desired.  This may require an internet connection via ethernet.  But you should be able to create a wifi network for using something like airplay/home sharing.

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

    As far as I know, you can't. One ID per e-mail.
    For your other accounts, you can get an e-mail from gmail or yahoo or another free provider.
