Are audio books able to be downloaded through family sharing?
I set up family sharing and was hopeful the entire family could enjoy audio books together (listening separately). I can find songs, music and Aps from all family members but not audio books. Is there a way to share them across different Apple IDs?
Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
If you turned on Share My Purchases, you can share most content that's also available in iTunes in the Cloud. You can share Music, Movies, and TV shows that you downloaded from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store. The availability of each content type depends on your country.
There are a few things that you can't share:
Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
In-App Purchases
Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
Items that were hidden
Apps that aren't shareable
If you're on an Apple TV, you can't access shared music."

I know that. The question is why, when every other media that is sold on iTunes is there.
Becasue the audiobook distributors do not allow Apple do offer this. -

All purchases are considered final whether or not you decide to download them, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will credit or refund you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -

You can transfer it from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases. -

Are there any billing benefits to have a family shared line?
Are there any billing benefits to have a family shared line? Currently I have a family shared 700 minutes w/ 500 texts. Would it be just as cheap to have to separate lines? I am asking this because I have my bro on my plan and am asking if it is saving me any money . Also why do I have to keep dialing *228 to decent internet connection on my phone. so any time I go anywhere i need to dial x228 to get 3g?

yes he is splitting it in half.
I only get 15% Access Discount & 20% Feature Discount on my line. Which comes out to -$15
I do not get any employee discount on the second line.
so $60-9+29-6=74 for one line not sure about the second line pricing...
Hi jackscagnetti, and thanks to our forum members for the great input on this monthly pricing question.
Using the numbers included on your post it seems like you have a 69.99 calling plan and a $29.99 data plan. Please see break down of fees below and difference between family share plan and individual calling plans.
Current family share plan:
Primary line
$60.00 - Calling plan
$29.99 - Data feature
$89.99 - Subtotal
$09.00 - Credit 15% calling plan
$06.00 - Credit 20% data feature
$74.99 - Total monthly fee for primary line (tax and surcharge not included)
Secondary line
$09.99 - Calling plan
$29.99 - Data feature (if Smartphone on this line)
$39.98 - Total monthly fee for secondary line (tax and surcharge not included)
$114.97 - Total for 2 lines.
2 individual lines with a $39.99 calling plan as used on previous scenarios in this forum/thread.
$39.99 - Calling plan
$29.99 - Data feature
$69.98 - Subtotal
$06.00 - Credit 15% calling plan
$06.00 - Credit 20% data feature
$57.98 - Total monthly fee for primary line (tax and surcharge not included).
$115.96 - Total if system allows employee discount on both lines (tax and surcharge not included).
$127.96 - Total if system allows discount on one line only (tax and surcharge not included). In both scenarios your monthly fees are lower with a Family Share calling plan.
Please keep in mind that we can only review your employee discount specifics if we access your account information. Feel free to contact us at 1-800-922-0204 at your convenience for further assistance with any billing issues and be prepared to provide account verification information. -
I have the current version of itunes on my pc and my wife had downloaded a few audio books to her i phone under the same account. Her phone was damaged and was replaced. I had backed up the phone and restored the new one but her audio books were not put on the new phone. When i look in my itunes library on my pc the book does not show up. In the purchase history I can find when i purchased it and the order number but there is no option to download it. Then under the "purchased" area it gives the options of music movies tv shows apps and books (not audio books) but audio books are no where to be found. If i can get any help figuring it out i would appreciate it.
Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

Why can't I find an audio book I purchased to download to my library?
A few years ago I purchase an audio book with an itunes gift card. I recently got a new PC and when I tried to transfer my purchases to the computer most of them transfered without any problem. However, two of my audio books did not. Any ideas how to correct this?
oops, I found it in somebody elses question.

Family Sharing on.
I got a movie on Blu Ray.
Downloaded the digital copy.
Stopped the download mid and deleted.
Re-downloaded with the SD option...worked.
Went to the other ipad. Went to get it from family sharing. HD only?
no option to get it in SD as in the first iPad.
Any advice?
Thanks
RobIf those films are only in HD in the store then you will only be able to get the HD versions - what options do the films have against them in the store (HD only, HD and SD ?), and (if the SD version is in the store) if you go to the Purchased link Quick Links on the right-had side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes do you get the option of downloading an SD version of them ?
The 'sync SD' version setting only works if you have the SD and HD versions in your iTunes library, if you don't then it will only sync what you have i.e. the HD version. -
Can't access purchased books through Family Sharing feature in iTunes.
My wife and updated her iPad and my new iPhone 6 Plus to IOS 8.1, and enabled Family Sharing on all of our devices. I am able to access her purchased books in iBooks, but she is not able to access my books on her iPad. I checked to make sure I did not inadvertently hide my purchased books in iTunes and I did not. I'm not sure what to try next. Any ideas?
Same problem here (Germany), I have the problems since 5:30 AM CET
Can´t download any song. -
Are there design issues in declined payments and Family Sharing?
In Family Sharing, the Organizer is responsible for billing. If a purchase fails due to a billing issue the unpaid balance causes all iTunes to become inaccessible until corrected. The Organizer is not able to identify the cause and Apple recommends "logging in with other members accounts" to resolve the unpaid balance. Further, you must verify the billing information via the Organizer card security CVV code through the other members account,
Is Apple advocating sharing passwords given the need to "see member purchases." This seems odd because you are sharing the purchases.
If purchases are billed to the Organizers account, why are they unable to correct an issue within the family?
Is this the best Apple can offer?I did see your other thread, but kept away from it because it seemed to be getting a bit heated. Some points I did notice:
People suggested that a design involving "thousands" of entities must be bad. This is neither true not nor unusual. An EBS database may have fifty to a hundred thousand entities, no problem. It is not good or bad, just necessary.
The discussion of "how many partitions" got stuck on whether Oracle really can support thousand of partitions per table. Of course it can - though you may find case studies that if you go over twenty or thirty thousand for a table, performance may degrade (shared pool issues, if I remember correctly).
There was discussion of how many partitions anyone needs, with people suggesting "not many". Well, if you range partition per hour with 16 hash sub-partitions (not unreasonable in, for example, a telephone system) you have 384 per day which build up quite quickly unless you merge them.
You own situation has never been fully defined. A few hundred million rows in a few TB is not unusual at all. But when you say "I don't have a specific problem to solve" alarm bells ring: you are trying to solve a problem that does not exist? If you get partitioning right, the benefits can be huge; get it wrong, and it can be a disaster. Don't do it just because you can. You need to identify a problem and prove, mathematically, that your chosen partitioning strategy will fix it.

Family cannot download from family sharing because it asks for code from cancelled card
I'm the primary user on family sharing and have recently put a new card on the account. When my boyfriend goes to download music or update an app it continues to ask him for the verification code for the cancelled card. How do I fix this?
That is because the App you are trying to update is associated with a different Apple ID. Apps and other purchases are tied to the apple ID that they were initially downloaded with.
Your options are:
1. Enter the password associated with the Apple ID being prompted for, or
2. Delete the App and then redownload it using your current Apple ID. If it is a free app, no problem. If it is a paid app, you would have to pay for it.

Error trying to download under family sharing
There's no other details in the message. I go through the whole deal... Purchased --> [Family Sharing Member] --> Music --> [Song]... It starts downloading and it does partially download the file but then come up with "Error, cannot download at this time." But "at this time" is always. I've tried removing myself family sharing and then setting it up but no success, getting the same problem.
HelpI am also always getting this error! Can anyone pls help?

Can Newstand magazines be shared through Family Sharing?
I have an IPad 2 which was registered under my Apple ID until recently. With the switch to IOS 8 and the new Family Sharing functions, I created an Apple ID for my partner and registered the iPad under that new ID since she was the main user. However I now don't have access to the magazines I purchased (magazines from Car Magazine UK Bauer Media).
I am confused as it actually all worked fine for two days before all my purchases disappeared. I also have a subscription to the magazine Evo which is working just fine.
Is this a bug? Is there a solution to it? Or can magazines not be shared?
Many thanksNo, audiobooks are still one-time only downloads, they won't show up for redownloading in family sharing.
