Can you use family share without sharing payment?

My wife and I purchase items separately with our individual apple ID's. Is there a way that we can both use family sharing but not use my payment info? We have no kids but have separate spending accounts that we like to keep separate.
Thanks.
-Brian

There are some arrangements which would benefit from sharing whilst two family members continuing to have a separate payment option. I'm trying to search for that solution. I would like to share purchases with my wife that she is interested in and visa versa but I only want to pay for things that I'm interested in. If there is some album that I really like and she doesn't then we want it set up that I could pay for that alone rather than through a shared family account. Even with that we would still appreciate sharing each others apps and music when it's something we would like to have on our devices and shared mac.
When you've switched to family sharing and family members choose to pay with a second payment method other than the shared credit account?

    can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    Essentially no.  Your watch has to connect to an iphone to be of any use.
    Once you do pair your watch and phone and you are in a known wifi area, you can turn off Bluetooth and your watch SHOULD connect directly with wifi. I've found it doesn't always connect.
    As of right now my bluetooth on the phone is OFF and I'm on wifi and can get notifications, play games, imessages, check instagram, etc etc.

  • Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    I too don't like this. I would like to be able to use Touch ID for purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, & Apple Store without having to use a passcode to unlock my phone. Why not allow the Touch ID to be app specific? Let us use it when we need it, not force us to use it for everything or nothing at all. That ***** that you have to set up a Passcode for your phone if you want to use Apple Pay. I didn't know about that. I haven't set that up yet because I'm waiting for them to support my credit card. Now I'm thinking I may not use Apple Pay. What a pain! Come on Apple, let us pick and choose what we want to lock down on our phones!!!

  • How do you use family share when we all currently use the same Apple ID but different iCloud accounts?

    our family is currently using all the same Apple ID so we don't have to purchase thing twice, but now I want to set up the family share. Do we all have to have our own Apple ID to set up the family share? We do all have separate iCloud's accounts, I'm not sure if that even makes a difference.

    Hello me1002,
    That is a good question. Everyone will need their own Apple ID that is signed into iCloud and iTunes. When setting this up, someone will need to be the Organizer so whom ever it is will champion this. Then everyone else will need to sign in to each respective accounts and then the organizer will need to send out invites to join Family Sharing. If you get that all setup, remember that when making purchases from those Apple ID will belong to that specific Apple ID so if anyone leaves, others will not have access to that purchased content.

  • Can you use time capsule without leopard?

    I just wanted to know if time capsule can be used to back up etc without adding leopard?
    I'm using the last Tiger update and am reluctant to buy leopard osx if i don't have to as i like tiger.
    Lee

    im running Tiger and i want to purchase Time Capsule. i dont really care about using Time Machine or not, and dont want to update to Leopard at the moment. from what i've read here, i can still use Time Capsule, but does this mean the only way i can back-up is wirelessly? or does Time Capsule have a hard line option to connect my MacBook directly to it using a cable?

  • Can you use an app without needing to unlock security lock?

    My son has an iPhone 4 and I set up a password on it, so he doesn't use it for inappropriate usage. But, when he is home alone I sometimes have to call to check on him. He clearly receives the call, but cannot answer it because I had set up the security lock. Can someone please find a solution to this? Especially Apple? I would love to find out that Apple makes an update for this! The only thing you can do without unlocking the phone is the Camera.

    It is not necessary to type your passcode when answering an incoming call.  The "slide to unlock" button will instead display "slide to answer" while the iPhone is ringing.  The call is answered immediately after sliding the button.
    Are you sure that it is asking for the passcode?

  • Can you use the Share feature to Entourage?

    I tried the iWork share function and it brought up Mail to send the document. I use Entourage on my work machine.
    Is there a way to set the default mail client to Entourage?
    -Tim

    I saw the same thing in an other thread.
    At this time the feature doesn't send to "the choosed mail program" but send to Mail.app.
    Bug of feature, I don't know.
    As I am not interested by microsoft products I leave you with the task:
    _Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

    It would be great to share a photo library... and music if possible

    Forgot to add, no experience with these, if it was a touch, I would create her own Apple ID and just hook it up with wifi in the respective houses.

  • HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    Hi Saramos,
    When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
    Family purchases and payments
    When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
    As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -
