Can't share geocaching app with family.

I purchased the Geocaching app for $10 for my I phone 5c. My wife and child all have the same phone. But yet I can't get the app on their phone. What am I doing wrong. This is our first smartphones so we ar

My thoughts are, that Yosemite hasn't been launched yet and that's why we should wait a little bit until iCloud Drive is officially available for both iOS + OS X. Until then, nothing detains us from using Dropbox parallel.

How do i share 'pages' app with family?

how do i share 'pages' app with family?

What do you mean by "share"? You can download an app from the App Store on any Macs that you own and are signed into with your AppleID. If other family members have their own AppleIDs and purchase their own apps, they must separately purchase and download Pages from the App Store.

Hi olddawg66,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There is a new process called Family Sharing that I would suggest you take a look at.

Can I share iTunes library with family?

Long story short, my sister has a TON of music. She's bought it all either from iTunes or she has the CDs. I know technically it's illegal to even copy the CDs so I'm guessing it's illegal for me to copy her library and add it into mine. I am going to buy the music, but I was wondering what your feelings are on this and what the rules say. She just moved out so she's not part of the house hold any more but my sisters and I have her music. I really don't feel like spending a thousand bucks on buying the songs from iTunes but am prepared to do so over the next few years. The home sharing allows for something like this, but the problem is, the main computer just moved out lol.

Can you share specific apps with other devices under same Apple ID? ...or do you need to enable he sharing of all apps that have been downloaded under that ID?

My family has multiple devices under one apple ID. I want to share only certain apps with certain family members. Is it possible to limit what apps are shared with which devices or do I need to share all of the apps that I download for personal use?

Thanks. I turned off the automatic downloads on the new devices (minis), but when I go into the app store I don't see any of the apps I have bought (for my original iPad) under "purchased". I was thinking that this was the logical place to find those apps that I want to download to the new devices. What am aI missing?

How can I share my photos with family with text to ID the photo

I have our families' photos on CD/DVD/my Mac's but I would like to share them with the rest of the families by way of CD/DVD. I'm also probably the only one in my family who could id the subjects in the photo's......how can I use text ON the photo so that they are ID'd for those photos I share with them. Judy

Adding text to a photo is not a feature of iPhoto.
You can do it with
Preview - already on your machine
BorderFX - a free plug-in. (http://www.iborderfx.com/iborderfx/)
or an external editor.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Can't share iCloud drive with family?

What I saw as the most useful aspect of iCloud drive was to use it like dropbox as a network drive amongst all of our computers and devices. Otherwise, no matter how much syncing is going on, we're are always emailing files back and forth and finding a file is a nightmare. Is it on my laptop or my iMac? Her laptop or iMac?
Isn't that the primary feature of dropbox? Sharing files amongst many computers?
I am beta testing yosemite and tried it out and found there is no sharing, even though family sharing is on.
If you could use a separate account for iCloud drive from the one you use with photos, iTunes, keychain syncing etc, then it could work.
My question is, iCloud drive is REPLACING iCloud, right? So syncing requires our separate Apple IDs, and sharing would require the same ID, so this is an impossible task (to share iCloud drive and still sync our own stuff), right?
I'm thinking I will have to stick with dropbox unfortunately.
Thoughts?

My thoughts are, that Yosemite hasn't been launched yet and that's why we should wait a little bit until iCloud Drive is officially available for both iOS + OS X. Until then, nothing detains us from using Dropbox parallel.

How can i share itunes content with my family?

I just got an iPhone and gave my sister my iPod touch. Is there any way can we share our apps/music with each other? I was going to use home sharing but from what I've read both users have to be on the same wifi network and we'll only be in the same house during the summer because she's in college.

Check out this Apple article -> How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
You can create playlists for each device or seperate iTunes libraries.

Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?

Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?
Recently purchased iPhone 5 for my wife and I + my daugther has an iPod. I'd like for us all to have separate iTunes accounts so we can each use iCloud without getting each other's notifications, but would like to have one central repository for mucsic and apps. I'm afraid if I set up iTunes accoutn for the tow of them, I'll have to re-purchase the music and apps (way too many!)

It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

Can I share my iCloud with my family in another state?

Can I share my ICloud with a family member in another state?

What do you want to share with the family member? If each of you have their own iCloud accounts you can create private Photos Streams that only they can view. If it's a calandar then you can create a shared calendar between the two of you.
However, as randers4 has warned, if you give them your iCloud ID and password they can get your email, contacts and everything else shareable with iCloud.

WoodyK,
If you are going to use your iTunes account as you and your partners iCloud account then you need to go into each phone and change your settings. In messages, you need to change from iCloud to the phone number. Create a contact with your unformation and re-train Siri with your name. Let me know if this helps.

If this an indication of what I can expect ........then be warned APPLE I am not happy!!!!!!!!!

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

No, sharing match is not included in the family share. The only way is to use the same Apple id on all devices but this may present problems if your family members have their own Apple id.

Share iCloud drive with family members

Has anybody figured out how to share iCloud drive with family members?
I was using Amazon Cloud drive which used to have an app you could download and imbed into Finder, but with OS X 10.1 this is no longer supported so I've switched over to iCloud drive. So far it is working seamlessly, except for the fact the my wife has to log into my iCloud account on the web in order to download the files. Ideally I could share iCloud drive and she'd simply log into finder on her mac to view our files and records.
Thanks in advance.

You can only share iCloud Drive with someone else if they also log in to the same account. Otherwise, your sharing will be limited to the sharing options of the file itself, which is extremely limited. Hopefully they will add more options as time goes on, but for now, thats where iCloud Drive is at, in its infancy.
Good Luck.
