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.

    Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

    Hi Charlie42,
    Happy New Year!  The link below explains how you can tell which purchased content is available to share using Family Sharing.   Contact Amazon for more specifics regarding sharing their content.  The Kindle app itself may be shareable, but the books may be considered an In-App purchase, making them not shareable.  Amazon would be able to give you a definitive answer.

    Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
    After you set up Family Sharing, the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps purchased by family members will be available to everyone else in the group. Learn what you can share with your family members.
    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 from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store, and apps from the App 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.See if you can share an app
    Use these steps to see if you can share an app before or after you get it.
    App Store in iOS 8
    Go to the app's description page. Scroll down to the Information section. If you can share it, you'll see Yes next to Family Sharing.
    Go to Updates > Purchased > My Purchases. If you can't share an app, you'll see Not Shareable next to its name.
    Mac App Store in OS X Yosemite
    Go to the app's description page and check the Information section. If you can share it, you'll see Yes next to Family Sharing.

    If one of your family members received their content through Apple ID for Students, you won’t see it in their shared purchases. This includes apps and other content distributed through the school.
    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.

  • Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

    Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

    In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
    You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.

  • I can't accesses purchased apps through the App Store

    When ever I try to view my purchased apps through the App Store on my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 the App Store app crashes.

    Try this:
    1. Double click the home button to bring out the task switcher, then press and hold the Appstore app in the task switcher to get it to wiggle mode and then close it by clicking on the x.
    2. Go to settings, scroll down to iTunes & App Stores. Click your Apple ID: and in the popup window, click on "Sign Out". Then, sign in back again.
    3. Try to open your Appstore, then try to access the purchased app section.

  • I have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

    i have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

    You can't. Kindle is a different ecosystem than iTunes. Generally, you choose your book ecosystem and you stick with it or you have books in both (or in several).
    There is a Kindle app for the iPad and iPhone that is just as good (and in my opinion substantially better) than the Apple iBook app.
    Most purchased books (but not all) have Digital Rights Management that prevent them from being shared or moved easily. Books purchased on iTunes are meant to be used on your iPad with iBooks. Books purchased on Amazon Kindle are meant to be used on your Kindle apps.

  • Still need a password to update apps purchased by another Family Sharing member!

    On iOS 8.1, I can enter App Store app, tap on the Purchased tab at the bottom, and then tap the upper-left corner to choose one of the members in the same Family Sharing members, then tap on the "download cloud" icon next to any apps purchased by that member. Doing so, I don't need to enter the password that Family Sharing member's Apple ID.  But, whenever apps, those purchased by other Family Sharing members, have an update, I would need to change the Apple ID to that Family Sharing member and enter the password, in order to enable the app update. Or, those apps will stay on the Updates page of the App Store app, waiting to be updated, forever. 
    How can the app update of apps purchased by other Family Sharing members be set automatic?

    No. To update apps you have to sign intot he account that purchased them.
    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.
    Just purchase the apps with your account

  • Hiding books in Family Sharing

    How do I hide certain iBooks purchases in my family sharing plan? I've tried following the apple support, but don't see a books link under purchases (I do see one for music, movies, TV shows, and apps, but no books).

    Do it through the iBooks Store, not iTunes Store.

  • Can I be a part of family sharing and use my own credit card?

    Can I be a part of family sharing and use my own credit card?

    Hello SamLupien,
    As detailed below, all purchases are billed to the Family Sharing organizer.
    With Family Sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases that other family members initiate while they're part of the family group. This also includes ongoing subscription purchases initiated by family members, such as iCloud storage, iTunes Match, and Newsstand subscriptions.

  • Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
    Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.
