How can I add gift cards with family sharing?

I want to be able to share the gift cards with my other family member, anybody know if this is possible?

They should be able to redeem them with their own iTunes store IDs to create a credit. Their purchases should then be charged against their credit before any balance due would be charged to the organizer's credit card.

Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

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.

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.

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

How can I add a person to an event (and send that person an invite) without resending the meeting invitation to all participants?

Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want. However, here's how I do it.
Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

How can you share Contacts and use Family Sharing?

Still sharing 1apple ID & 1 iCloud from way back when. Kids were little, syncing was simple... turned off their device iClouds and synced apps, playlist, shows w/ iMac via usb. I loved having my contacts, bookmarks, notes synced via iCloud and it became VERY handy when kid1 got an iPhone (appointments, practices, friends #s w/ ease!) We've recently added a macbook and another iPhone to the mix, we've got music issues & iPads ringing.... so a potential overall may be due?
Now that Family Sharing is here, it's still missing features that we USE:
* Notes (grocery list, packing lists...)
* Contacts (each family member has a 'group' name, they add to their group and the family's master list is 'all contacts' for anyone to access incase of emergencies.... anyone keeping up w/ kids lately?!)
* And the ever present iCloud icon is a looming feature for anyone, any age in the shared-family to be too curious...
* CAN any of these features be added along w/ Family Sharing?
HOW do I set up a simple family sharing system w/o interfering w/ bookmarks, personal notes, FaceTime/msg crossovers :
share our purchases (apps, music from our iTunes/playlists, podcast),
share our calendar
share our contacts
share a family notes
msgs/facetime for each member
mom: iphone, ipad, imac
dad: iphone
kid1: iphone, macbook
kid2: ipad
kid3: ipad
Thanks to anyone that has this set up and will share the method to my madness. Didn't know where to post this, sorry about that.

After having burned the AudioCD from iTunes Menu Advanced choose "Submit Track Names ..."
That will put the data of your CD into CDDB.
It may take between some hour and a few days until it is recognized on a second computer through CDDB.

Can I share contacts too via Family Sharing?

My friend has my old iPhone 4s and she's logged in on my iCloud account. I want to log her in to her own iCloud account and then add her to Family Sharing. I read that we can share contacts and app purchases. But how about our contacts?

Greetings msummerone,
Family Sharing allows members of one family to share items purchased from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. Items from other sources are not part of the content that can be shared through it. See this article for reference -
OS X Yosemite: What is Family Sharing?
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Can't see member Purchases with Family Sharing

Okay, I wonder if someone can help with this. I setup Family Sharing and was able to add the members I wanted. When I go to the AppStore, i'm able to see their name under the Family Purchases", however when I click on their names, I can't see their purchased. I just get something that says "you have no purchases". I follow the steps on the Apple Article title "If you don't see you family's shared content" and that didn't solve the issue. I also made one for the members to download a free that was shareable, to verify and I still couldn't that one either. In addition, I verified that the email under the Family Sharing was the same for ITunes & AppStore under the setting. Does anyone has solution? I'm not sure if the issue is because I have an older iPhone. I still have the iPhone 4S

I have the same issue - interestingly, I am able to see iTunes purchases. It's just app store purchases that aren't showing up.

Is there a limit to the number of apps that can be Hidden from view in Family Sharing?

I've just set up a Family Share and have issued invitations to a couple of family members.
I'm trying to take full advantage of the "Hide" feature that's available in the Purchased list in the App Store app, mostly to hide really old apps that I haven't used since the beginning of time. These apps have been long gone from any of my iOS devices, and it has always bugged me that they still appeared in my Purchased list. It's pretty cool that Family Sharing allows people to hide some of their app purchases from others in the group, as this also allows folks to hide apps that they also don't want to see in our own lists.
The first couple of dozen apps that I decided to hide stayed hidden. However: now, no matter what I try, I can't hide any more apps. I swipe on an app to reveal the Hide button; tap the button; the app disappears from the list; I go to another screen in the app; I return to my Purchased list: and the most recent Hidden apps are still listed.
This is driving me nuts. I'm wondering if Apple has imposed a limit on the number of apps that anyone can hide; or if there's something I can do to force a hidden app to stay hidden.
Advice will be gratefully accepted.

Hi, Gail

Not a bad suggestion, but it does not explain why an app refuses to REMAIN hidden on my iPhone -- as I explained in my first post:
> I swipe on an app to reveal the Hide button; tap the button; the app disappears from the list;
> I go to another screen in the app; I return to my Purchased list: and the most recent Hidden
> apps are still listed.
Given the clunkiness and general unreliability of iCloud - which rarely "just works" - it doesn't surprise me that hiding an app on one device doesn't mean the same app will be hidden immediately on other devices logged into the same account. I've learned to be patient and wait hours for changes to anything synced via iCloud to be reflected on other devices in the sync loop. But again, this in now way explains why apps were not staying hidden on the device that was used to hide them.
I've finally managed to hide all the apps I wanted hidden, after many hours of waiting and multiple attempts at hiding. I am in no way confident that these apps are going to REMAIN hidden permanently, or until I choose to unhide some of them; only time will tell if iCloud decides to behave and accept my series of "Hide this app" commands to be honoured permanently!

My child can't see my purchases under family sharing and nothing is blocked?

Can't create Apple ID new family sharing

Problem: error message "can't Create Apple ID" during set up
Trying to set up iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1) for kid to use as iPod touch.
Used my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) to set up a family share account for kid- account clearly shows up in my settings.
When I am setting up the 4S I get to the page requesting to Sign in with your Apple ID.
When I enter her newly created ID I get the error above.
Any troubleshooting tips?

I'm having the same issue. I think it's because Family Sharing (and the associated "Kid" account concept) was a new feature of iOS 8 and is only supported in iOS 8 (and future versions). Here's Apple's requirements page for various iCloud features: System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
I guess you're stuck upgrading to the latest iOS on your son's 4S. But beware that it's the oldest iPhone that supports iOS 8, and I suspect you'll run into some performance issues. And from experience, kids aren't very patient when it comes to their gadgets.
Good luck.

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.
