Why Family Share not show up on my MacBook Pro? Help

I am supposed to be part of a Family Share account. I can access Family Share & other family member's purchases on my iPad but NOT on my MacBook Pro that is running Maverick OS. I log into iTunes, click on the drop down window at the top where my name is located but when the window drops down Family Share is not an option nor am I able to see the names of the other family members in the group. I have tried going to "System Preferences" to "iCloud" and then try to look for "Manage Family" but it is not there. Even if I then if after getting to "iCloud" & logging into "Account Details" there is not anything about "Manage Family" or "Family Share"
Can you not participate with Family Share using Maverick OS?
I would REALLY appreciate assistance with this issue.

Hi susieqk,
Welcome to the Support Communities!  The reason you are not seeing the Family Sharing account on your MacBook Pro is because Family Sharing requires OS X Yosemite on your computer.

Here is some general information about OS X Yosemite should you choose the free upgrade.

  • Photos taken on My I Phone 6 do not show up ON my Macbook Pro both on I cloud

    I have my I phone 6 with IOS 8.3. Then I have my Macbook Pro w/Retina Display 2014 with 10.10.3 with Photos. I migrated my I Photo Library to Photos and that went well. However since I updated both my I Phone and Macbook pro, Pictures I take on my I Phone 6 do not show automatically up in Photos on my Macbook Pro. Both my I Phone 6 and Macbook pro are signed into I cloud for photos. The pictures I take on my I Phone 6 show up in the Icloud photos but not in Photos on my Macbook Pro. Am I wrong to assume that when I take photos on my I Phone 6 they will show up on my Macbook pro in Photos? Do I still need to hardwire to the Macbook and import my photos off my I phone? Is there a setting I have not turned on, I have looked I do not think I have missed a setting anywhere? Is there a problem with IOS 8.3 or OS X 10.01.3? Just wondering what is up. Anyone else having this issue?

    The music being available for redownload has only been possible for a few months.  Before this you could not redownload.  The owners of the rights to the ringtones do not allow itunes to provide this feature.  hopefully they will at some point.
    Regardless, you should always maintain a backup.
    Sorry.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.

  • My new flash drive will not show up on my macbook pro?

    It's really strange because I know my usb ports are working, the flash drive works perfectly fine on the mac desktops at my school and if I open up system profile it shows that it's plugged in! But it won't show up anywhere for me to actually access it! Not on my desktop, not in my finder, I've tried searching for it and checked to make sure I have my finder settings checked to show external drives on the desktop and in the sidebar in finder windows. I checked on one of the desktops and it is formated as...FAT 32 bit I think? something like that. I've also restarted a couple times already and plugged and unplugged it a few times to try and get it to work. The last time I  plugged in someone else' flash it showed up too so I don't know why this one won't show up, I've looked everywhere to figure out why it might not be working, but I need it to work so I can get my school work off my school computer before the end of the semester!
    If anyone can give me some suggestions or help I would really appreciate it!
    P.S. This is what my system profiler shows for it:
    USB FLASH DRIVE:
      Product ID: 0xb107
      Vendor ID: 0x03f0  (Hewlett Packard)
      Version: 40.96
      Serial Number: AA1B132C00000354
      Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
      Manufacturer: HP
      Location ID: 0xfd130000 / 5
      Current Available (mA): 500
      Current Required (mA): 200

    Press the Repair Disk button. If it doesn't find any issues or repairs those it finds, press Mount.
    If it finds issues that it can't fix, run a more powerful utility such as DiskWarrior or a data recovery product on it.

  • My Mirror options do not show up on my Macbook Pro with OS 10.8

    I can't mirror with my MBPro. I have OS 10.8, checked the "Show mirror options" in Display and it doesn't show up so I can project my MBPro on my Apple TV. Why?

    There is a great solution that I have found for my older model Macbook Pro.  It's Air Parrot.  It does the same thing that the apple mirroring does and only costs $10.  I have purchased it for 3 of my laptops.  Now I don't have to upgrade to the newest Macbook for this option.

  • Airplay mirror imaging icon will not show up on my macbook pro even though i downloaded mountain lion. How do i get airplay icon to appear on my macbook pro?

    i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
    thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.
    To mirror your MacBook Pro's display onto the Apple TV, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible

  • TS1591 iPod 7th gen not showing up in iTunes (Macbook Pro) on first try

    hi guys. i have an ipod 7th gen and just recently bought a macbook pro. what i noticed right away was that whenever i try to plug in and update my ipod, the icon shows up on the desktop but the iPod itself does not show up in iTunes. i have to unplug then re-plug in my iPod and that usually does the trick. a trick which is annoying to do because im sure most people with iPods dont have this problem. help please

    Hey there Miles,
    It sounds like your iPod isn't showing in iTunes when you connect it to your Mac. I would start with this bit from the following article:
    iPod not appearing in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3716
    First, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod.
    If you still cannot get the device to appear in iTunes, use the following link to help troubleshoot it:

  • Why is icloud not listed in my updated macbook pro's systems preferences, there is mobileme instead?

    I use a Samsung Android, two mac book pros, a large desktop mac, a Kindle Fire, and recently  bought a preowned iphone 5; want to synch it with my mac book pro. I have an icloud email but nothing from my macbook is connected with it except maybe itunes. icloud is not the way I sign on when pening my personal macbook. But the only id I could use to get into the iphone was my icloud id. I want to get "Everything" together but when attempting to set up icloud in my personal macbk at system pref.s there is no icloud listed only the ancient "Mobilme" . I have done all the updates, why is icloud not in there and what can I do to set it up?

    If you are seeing mobile me, then you are running 10.6.8 or earlier.  iCloud came out in 10.7.  So your device "may" be updated as far as it can, but it is not far enough to use iCloud.  You can try to upgrade to 10.10 (which is free), or if your system is not capable, you may have to pay for lion or mountain lion.
    HTH.

    I want to reinstall my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion , I want to reinstall it without using Ethernet, Wi-fi, etc... I want to reinstall using a Installation Disk but there is no Installation Disk when I bought my MacBook Pro. Why Apple did not provide Installation Disk? It is better to have it. It is very useful. Right? I want to reinstall without using Ethernet. I want Installation Disk Mac OS X Lion! I ask price from Power Mac for upgrading . Php 1,500 .

    Hi Chase!
    Here's an article to download purchases directly onto other devices like your MacBook Pro after already purchasing them on a different device:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You'd want to go to Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer, then whichever iTunes version you are using.

  • Windows 7 install pendrive not showing in boot of Macbook Pro 3,1

    Hi, I have a 2007 Macbook Pro, and my superdrive has been broken for a while now, but because of work reasons I have to Install Windows 7 in it.
    I have an external Samsung DVD drive, and I have created several install pendrives with every tool known, and still, one way or the other, when I boot the Mac and press the alt key, my mac only shows the Macintosh HD and the recovery partition, neither the external DVD drive nor the pendrives. But if I boot into Mountain Lion both, the DVD and the pendrive appears in the desktop.
    If I select the DVD as the boot unit in Preferences/Startup disk when rebooting the Apple logo appears in the screen and nothing happens.
    Any guess?
    Thanks.

    Take the Mac to an Apple Store to repair the ODD, so you can install Windows with a disc

  • The preinstalled ilife programs are not showing up on my macbook pro

    I just bought a new macbook pro that had been returned to best buy. When I turned it on the ilife programs are not there like they are supposed to be. What do I need to do.

    You need to Register that Mac with Apple, Create an Apple ID (if you don't already have one) Log on to the Mac App Store with your Apple ID and then you should be able to download and install the iLife Apps that you want.
    BB foramatted the drive and reinstalled the OS. In doing so the iLife Apps were not re-installed as they are not part of the OS. So now it is up to you to get them.
    If the above steps don't work for you then you may need to call Apple to straighten it out.

  • Airplay not showing up on 2013 MacBook Pro

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro and I have recently purchased an Apple TV which works perfectly with my iPad and iPhone, however my MacBook Pro won't pick up that the Apple TV is even connected to the network. I have had this problem a few times and the last time I completely restored to Mavericks and it was able to pick up the Apple TV, I do not want to have to restore my Mac again. Any fixes?

    Hello Scott,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with AirPlay on your MacBook Pro and the troubleshooting steps you have taken. 
    I found an article with steps you can take when you do not see the AirPlay icon.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring" (the title of the article says Mountain Lion, but the steps are applicable to Mavericks as well):
