Can you share storage with the iOS 8 family sharing?

Wondering if it is possible to share storage with the iOS 8 family sharing feature?
I set up my family and I was surprised to see that storage sharing does not seem to be an option. Am I doing something wrong? If not this seems like a glaring omission.

True... I'm sure this will be implemented... Unfortunately in 5 years most likely.
Here's where Family Sharing needs some "tweaking" IMHO:
1. Shared Storage. - I have 200GB of storage on my Mobile Me account that I had envisioned would be shared with all users. Now I am getting out of space errors on most of our 8 iOS devices being used with family share. I NEVER really use the MobileMe account, so it's a bit of a waste.
2. Photostream.... Why so darn difficult?!? I used to have all devices on the same iCloud account which allowed for a shared photo stream. Now I have my photo stream, but nobody else in the family unless they elect to share with the family.
3. Easier re-allocation of users, kids, and organizers. - Right now, I have that Me account that really isn't being used, will never make iTunes purchases, and it taking 1 user away from our 6...  Add to that a botched child account and We're down to 4 real accounts for Family Sharing. not ideal.

  • Hello, we have both Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud for teams. Can you help me with the difference and if i need to have both?

    Hello, we have both Creative Cloud membership and Creative Cloud for team. Can you help me with the difference and if i need to have both? We have 9 employees that are using it. Just not sure if i'm paying for something i don't need.
    Thank you

    Please refer to Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions
    CC is for retail use with 20 GB of storage space, CCT is where number of seats are purchased & assigned by one program admin where each seat gets 100GB of storage space.
    You can not have both the CC & team in one account as it will only provide you added storage space of 120 GB but you can activate the CC any of them or either of them twice as CC is based on Adobe ID.

  • Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Hi DJNIKKo,
    I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
    But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
    I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
    Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
    The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
    1. normal - 20 HP
    2.nightmare - 6000 HP
    3.**** - 150 000 HP
    4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
    This is for the same enemy...
    (I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
    So this game is't for me...

  • Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Kappy,
    Yes, our domain and email accounts are on a server that does accept IMAP. Also, our mac mini and imacs are all set up for IMAP. Buying an ipad will enable me to work from home during this winter.
    Another ?: do you know if you can use text edit with the iPads mail feature? Reason being we have about 100 generic emails that all we have to do is change a few fields before sending out. Can this be integrated in without having to recreate all these messages?

  • How can I share my itunes music over family sharing on icloud?

    I have two iphone 5S phone one is for work, I just enabled by family sharing option for iCloud. Is there anyway I can access my itunes with my work phone without having to sync to my personal macbook pro?

    Hello there Frank_0721,
    If I understand correctly you are wanting to download your iTunes purchases that you have on one of your iPhones to your other iPhone. You can get them downloaded with the following article once you are signed into the same account on both devices which it will walk you through:
    Download past purchases
    If you have an iCloud account and you want to sync your Calendars, Contacts, etc. use this resource to get signed into icloud on both devices:

  • How can you share books with family members?

    I purchased a book in iTunes and it's on my library shelf. How can I share this book with my sister?

    If she has access to your Apple ID she can have your iBook on her device.  If she syncs to the same computer, just sync it to her device.  If she syncs to a different computer, copy the book from your iTunes library onto a flas drive (you'll find it on your hard drive in iTunes>iTunes Music>Books; it's an .epub file), then authorize your Apple ID on her computer (iTunes>Store>Authorize this Computer), then add the book to her library (iTunes>File>Add to Library) where she can sync it to her device.

  • Want to share my iCloud storage with my spouse, Family Sharing?

    Wife has a maxed storage 4s can't upgrade to iO8.1.2.  We got iPhone 6 for each other, but she doesn't have icloud storage to get everything tranferred.  I have 200GB, and inititated Family Sharing.  Her storage plan has not changed from the default 5GB.  Wondering if there is something I have missed about sharing my storage, OR if I cannot do it even with Family Sharing

    Hey d2boogie,
    Congratulations on getting each other new iPhones and Family Sharing. Let's see if we can get things up and running for you both.
    Family Sharing does not share your iCloud storage space. What it does do is allow you to share content such as iTunes store purchases, a calendar, and a photo album. It also consolidates billing for iTunes, iBooks and App Store billing. See this article for a description -
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    In order to update your wife's older iPhone, I would suggest that you use the steps in this article -

    If you don't have an iCloud account or you just want to keep a backup on your computer, you can use iTunes to back up and transfer content on your device.

  • Can you do that with the SDK?

    I have a question concerning the SDK. In a project, we want to automate some Editing-Functions and the "Premiere_SDK_Guide.pdf" leaves some questions:
    1) Is it possible to write a plugin, that read pathes from ressources (for example Images and Audio from an XML-file) and put these at specific places on the timeline?
    2) With video- and audio-transitions?
    Even if the above is not possible, than can you automatically:
    3) Set Chapter-Markers?
    4) Export to Encore or directly as a DVD?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hans

    Hi Hans,
    1) For this I would recommend you generate an FCP XML, which can be imported into Premiere Pro.  The SDK doesn't provide control over project items.
    2) You can see supported transitions and effects here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd9957a95a81082eb28f05af5126718c47be-800 0.html#WSd9957a95a81082eb28f05af5126718c47be-7ffd
    3) Markers in the FCP XML can't currently be imported directly as Encore Chapter markers, but once the markers are brought in, it is fairly simply to switch them from regular markers to Encore Chapter markers.  Bringing them in directly as Encore Chapter markers could be a good feature request, if you decide to use the FCP XML route - http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
    4) Triggering an Export to Encore is not something a plug-in or external application can do.  But by generating the FCP XML in advance, that should save a ton of time with the editing up front.
    Regards,
    Zac

    No.  You could have only tracked the device via the FindMyIPod serviced which would have needed to be set up before the iPod was lost.
