Ask to Buy for all family members.

Hi,
I'm the Organizer for my Family Sharing. How can I ensure that all my family members have to "Ask to Buy", regardless if they are a child or not.

I did a simple purchase on a family member, it did not ask the Organiser for approval.
How can I tell Apple that the Organiser should have the option to approve purchases?

HT204053 Is it possible to have two (or more) different icloud mail accounts (not alias) under the same apple id? If not what is you best advice for all family members to have their own e-mail and still share the purchases under the same apple id. Thanks

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

Is there a way to turn on Ask to Buy for those older than 18?

Is there a way to turn on Ask to Buy when sharing with an individual older than 18?

Hey photogpreacha,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to turn on Ask to Buy for a member over 18 years old. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Ask to Buy is on by default for any children under 13, and you'll be asked if you want to enable Ask to Buy when inviting anyone under 18 to your family group.* If you turn off Ask to Buy for a family member after they turn 18,* you can't turn it on again.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

HT201079 Family sharing : Why not ask to buy for adults ?

I don't see why we can't turn on "ask to buy" for adults. I want to control what I share....

As far as I know Apple haven't said why (these are user-to-user forums), only that you can't - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in the future it will be possible : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Should I have different Apple IDs for different family members or one?

We are four members in a family, sharing the same iMac computer but each having a separate device (such as an iPod, iPad and iPhone). I'm wondering if it would be best to have separate Apple IDs for each family member to manage things like iMessage, iTunes purchases and so on. I'd appreciate any advice you can provide. Cheers!

The ideal would be to have different Apple IDs for each member. This will allow them to set up their accounts as they like and be able to use iCloud without worrying about the possibility that other members can see their personal data. However, if you want to purchase an app for all the members, you will have to purchase it for each account

Itunes for multiple family members

My situation is I've been using iTunes since its inception and built quite a library. I've been through multiple ipods and now on to iphones for multiple family members. All the while using one itunes account on separate devices for multiple family members. Now that we have iphones its become necessary to create separate icloud accounts for each family member. This creates a problem for those with new icloud accounts. The iTunes music library can no longer be shared on separate devices (that I know of). The music library and playlists I have built over years cannot be shared with those devices that now have separate icloud accounts. I am aware of "family sharing" and have set that up going forward but how do I resolve the issue of all the music and playlists that were shared when we all used one itunes account, prior to creating separate icloud accounts? I hope this makes sense. For example my wife and son no longer have access to any of the music/playlists on their iphones that they used to have prior to creating their own accounts. Even though all purchases made before and after creating separate icloud accounts were made using the same credit card.
I believe I could just go back to having the other devices sign back into my itunes account and I think that may resolve the issue but what happens to purchases that were made on the other devices while they were signed into their own accounts? Another point that comes up is that we all have gift card balances on each itunes account. This is so confusing

This is great news as I've been struggling with this issue for some time. Mainly because my wife is a little old school and likes to put music on CD's and this solves that problem. Thanks again!!
Mr Mars,
You are welcome! I hope you have achieved the expected degree of "harmony."

HT204053 I only have one e-mail, how do I set up separate apple IDs for three family members ?

How do I create apple IdS for three family members with the same e-mail? They are kids and have no e-mail.

You can configure a new email address for them using the @cloud.com server suffix. Do that when you open an iCloud account for each and set up the separate Apple IDs that will each be tied to a different email address.

ITunes music for different family members

Hello
I have just purchased my first Mac, a standard 27" iMac (seems strange to call this wonderful - so far - Mac 'standard'!), I have transferred my iTunes music from my Sony Viao Laptop. This music, with one exception, is from my own CD's, with only one album purchased through iTunes so far.
There are also quite a few Apps for the iPhone, and the synced address book and calander.
Now what I want to do, if it it possible, is to have my iTunes music files on an external HD, and that the three iTune accounts that I want to have, one for each member of the family with their own account on the iMac, can see all the music files, and can each create their own Playlists and sync their iPhone/iPod.
Is this possible? Seems silly to have to have three complete copies of the music file.
Probably this has been gone over umpteen times already.
Thanks
Adam

How do I get separate iCloud accounts for each family members device and still share iTunes?

how do I get separate iCloud's for each family members iPhone, iPod and iPad and still share iTunes?

Have everyone share the same iTunes store ID, but use separate IDs for iCloud. The ID you use for iCloud does not have to be the same as the ID you use for the iTunes & App store.

HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off. It will not charge while the phone is on. Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything. I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

Can separate apple ids be set up for individual family members that use different devices? Several iPads are tied to one Apple ID (email address). Thank you.

How come all family members get my texts sent to just one family member?

How come all family members get my texts sent to just one family member? iPhone 6, newly updated.

but without you all getting the same iMessages and you not being able to facetime each other.
